You did try to sign him.

From what the people that have seen him play regularly are telling us we're getting a top half quality player who will suit what De Boer wants to achieve. We've done little business so far but what we have done feels pleasing.

I've been banging the drum for us to go in for him since 2014. After Hulls promotion last year I accepted that ship had sailed. I think Liverpool have a useful squad player here that will be of use to them for many years to come.

Do Arsenal fans think he's worth what they're allegedly going to pay him? Given his best bargaining tool was the Turkish league because no better club wanted him im surprised a club that are historically quite picky are lowering there guard on this one.

Id argue they had a good blend already of experience with the likes of Jedinak, Elphick and Chester.

Jairo Riedewald has signed for eight million. The general feedback from those that know him is he's a top half Premiership player so for eight million it seems like good business.

Id have Brentford above both Hull and Sunderland at the moment, but then again I can think of at least six teams id fancy over Brentford.

Twice in less than a week you've repeated something I've posted Harvey. I'm starting to wonder if youve blocked me.

We heard all this bollocks ten years ago in The Championship mate when Charlton came down. "Theyve got too much money, they can sign anybody, nobody will be able to compete soon enough" They haven't been back up since.

Championship fans have heard that drum beat for over fifthteen years and there's still not been a 23 team divide. Other than Middlesborough who are about as good as they were two years ago the teams coming down are having to rebuild entirely. This league is completely open this year and there is an opportunity for teams to capitalise like Huddersfield did.

This hotel tried charging us £20 for a weeks wifi

Side note but EE letting you use your data for free in Spain. Amazing.

Off to Tenerife this evening with the missus. Needless to say I'm pissed about the nice weather in London for the next week.

What's wrong with Sutton?

Given we've gone from being linked with Adil Rami, a defender with experience whose best days look behind him, to Davinson Sanchez, a young and expensive investment, makes me think the media haven't got a clue about what we're doing.

Southampton are interested allegedly. I can see this continuing throughout the majority of the summer due to Liverpools high asking price for a player they don't clearly want. I can't imagine any club in Europe will want to compete at that price.

It's a shame there's no garlic strong enough to deter some of the locals from living round there.

I didn't realise Callum Willock left for Benfica. Given the talent coming from Portugal that could be a fantastic career decision.

GFW have 'taken over' TNA, according to reports. Jarrett's getting heat about this but considering he felt 'forced out' of his own creation in TNA. To then start a new company and then be in a position where you can take over your old company without having to dip in to your own pocket and without actually televising one show is quite poetic justice. Perfect timing given it's there fifthteenth year anniversary. Make the show a celebration of old times and then start a new beginning next week.

Looking at my notifications page in the early hours of this morning I was half expecting to find a photo of Katie Price in here

There is literally no point in Chelsea having any form of an academy.

Any loyalty bonus in his contract should be null and void at the very least. Something went on that Allardyce wouldn't put him on the bench over Speroni. Sad situation all round as he's a class Goalie that could have been a club icon.

Steve Mandanda is refusing to report to pre-season training. Lost a lot of respect for him for that. Hope we can stop paying his 50k p/w and make him wait until Marseille offer a fee remotely close to his ability.
