Summer Transfers 2024
There’s a difference between not wanting to and having a preference, though. If he’d like to go Inter then I think there’s a deal to be done for us. If he only wants to go to Inter, then there isn’t. A bit like with Todibo.
Exactly how I see it, and tbf I see why they'd have their preference
For Todibo, Juve star may be a bit dulled at the moment but they're the biggest Italian team, a European giant who have Chanpions league and aspire to win titles
Wan-Bissaka has the exact same scenario with Inter
Mazraoui has an opportunity to play for historically the biggest team in the Prem who pay a LOT of money in wages / wigning fees
Our fans want us to be ambitious, then we can't be upset when the players we are after are also courted by bigger teams then us and decide they dont want to join us over their alternatives -
The Paris Olympics
We win our first medal, a bronze in the women's synchro 3m springboard diving, after the Australians completely muck up their last dive and drop from competing for silver to out of the medals entirely. -

Agents really are the virus in the sport and I do think it's to do with how its structured. In the entertainment industry the agents fees are paid by the artist and not the employer. it frames the deal differently and prevents the player imagining the agents representation is free or less costly. Once a player realises he has to pay the agent directly they will push back and so agents fees will begin to drop, it may be perception but as we know in life and never more so than now, perception is pretty much everything. I have no idea why it was ever allowed to happen in the first place in which the agent negotiates his own fee!
It's very easily sorted by FIFA and UEFA by ensuring all agents must be paid by the instructing player.
I will not criticise our club for letting a deal go due to excessive agents demands. -
Pre-season friendlies - It's a match thread, Jim, but not as we know it
Okay, attended an open training session at the stadium and what pleased me most was seeing how the team were clearly having fun with each other, of all the players, the one that seemed to be gelling and interacting the most was Ings, have heard that he is a positive influence and popular in the dressing room and it was clearly in evidence this evening.
Looking forward to the game tomorrow, there were about 1,000 fans there this evening and I understand around 20,000 tickets have been sold for tomorrow, the team came out and signed stuff and my wife treated me to a new home shirt for my birthday courtesy of our two boys - all in all a fun evening was had

Thought I'd start a thread as I'm sure there will be a few comment worthy moments over the next few weeks.
Men's hockey, GB v Spain, has just started; I used to play so this is of interest to me perhaps more than for many of you 😊. -

Pulled up to my hotel in Jacksonville Fl prior to the game against Wolves and what was parked outside - only the team bus, reckon I can blag a ride?

What difference will that make? The players will just ask for more to pay the agent. -
