Manuel Akanji

[MrRobbo]

Liverpool have upped their offer for Guehi. Testing Parish’s ability to resist. Supposedly we’ve said we’d take it if they give us Gomez on loan but Liverpool have refused. Spurs in the mix for Akanji too. Surely SP won’t do the unthinkable and accept the offer without a replacement.

That would be unthinkable

That would be unthinkable

Yeah, in that scenario criticism of Parish is fair. Let’s hope not.

 

[pssguy]

That would be unthinkable

That's what I thought

He would be foolish to do that so let’s hope not

Spurs are now favourites to sign Akanji. Maybe Levy hopes this will hurt Palace financially by not being able to do the Guehi deal? But as discussed on this thread already I don't think he'd have come here over Milan

(According to the BBC gossip page)

 

[Rudi Hedman]

will Man Citeh employ shenanigans to delay any deal between us & Akanji just to prevent Liverpool getting Geuhi?

If the Shenanigans are Everton supporting Irish immigrants then maybe they will.

 

[Rudi Hedman]

For sure Akanji would not rent a place near South Croydon station but probably at a place like Keston Park which is only 18 min drive from training ground 🙂

I don’t know how most of the Premier League sign the most expensive players in the world with the sh1t holes their stadiums new and old stand in lol.

 

[Lanzo-Ad]

The back up for letting Guehi leave to 0, is i would expect Wharton to leave next summer for 100m+.
so no to selling him for me, to late.

Lucky they can all afford super cars to get them the hell out of there as quick as possible as soon as the games finish🤣

TV rights . Plain and simple . EPL earns about 50 % more than La Liga which is 2nd for football codes

Gridiron , American Basketball and Baseball are the top 3 in terms of TV rights .

I went to the Chelsea and Southhampton games last year . I Go to games at the SCG ( Sydney Swans ) and the Sydney Football stadium ( Sydney FC a league ) which are modern day marvels compared to Selhurst , but unless it’s a packed house at the SCG watching the swans in a Final , the atmosphere doesn’t compare , and that comes across on the TV .

You don’t realise how antiquated Selhurst park is until your queuing up to go through the turnstiles to get it , trying to get into the toilet or buy something at half time …

On Ted Lasso it looks cool .

But would you want it any other way 😎

I’m wondering if we are all going to be in meltdown around 17.45

Near every medium to large size English football stadium or training ground there is a nice environment and area to live in. I don’t know about Middlesbrough however.

You haven’t said where is nice near to Wolverhampton lol. I would have said Stoke, but truth is there’s somewhere nice to live nearby most large to medium sized English teams. Whether there’s anywhere good to go out to is another question.

It would be Hagley. There are a few places to be fair. But Hagley is where Lee Sharpe lives for instance. A bit further would be Kidderminster, Bewdley. Like a half hour drive on a dual carriageway.
