Johnson, McNeil

[madcap_v2]

You have said this before, but they do happen. I will use the same examples I quoted you in the Hayden Hackney thread;

Clinton Morrison and Andy Johnson, Alexis Sanchez and Henryk Mikhitariyan, Danilo da Silva and Joao Cancelo, Arthur Melo and Miralem Pjanic.

When the original story broke a week ago it was being touted as McNeil + cash, but in the last two or three days it has all been about a straight swap deal with no cash involved.

The latest story is likely to be accurate, it is coming from better sources and more frequent, and supposedly both players are having medicals on the same day (today) which further leans into the swap deal theory.

Morrison/Johnson wasn't a swap deal. We pulled Birmingham's pants down with the fee for Johnson

The answer should be Benteke but then our two ‘wingers’ Zaha and Townsend decided to stop crossing in favour of cutting inside to shoot and poor Benteke never got the proper service.

Maybe they stopped crossing the ball when he started missing loads of chances?

Two people have told me that Everton have taken over our debt to Spurs, £20 mill was the figure mentioned in both cases. If this were to be true, then £20 mill plus McNeil would be a lot more palatable. Really hope that this is true, but have my doubts as this forum usually has an ear close to the ground.

Good, it's about time those two were fingered for something.

Even fisted.

I heard Roland required it the disgusting baastard.

The price of fame, another tarnished hero

Premier League: What are rules on player swaps in the transfer window?

Our Ask Me Anything team look at what the rules are for Premier League clubs exchanging players in swap deals.

As I said no such thing as a "Swap Deal" it's a media made up term contract laws are very clear so are the rules.

They use creative ways to change costs.

Very poor deal from Palaces side McNeil was not even worth 20m in Jan.

Bruce dyer was bought from watford on 10th march '94 when we were in division 1 (championship).

Yes. I should probably have said since the PL started and played in the top division. Martyn, for instance, was a record, I think, but was bought pre 1992/93
