eski, for me it's the difference between proven and unproven.
One is 1st choice RB at a top 6-4(ish) club, established international. Best crosser in the league (or something, according to the stats). The other is only just what I would call barely an established PL player, with acouple of caps in friendlies.
I know the value is just what the buying club is willing to pay, but it's clear with Keane they are taking a gamble (because they can afford it) on him improving a lot over the next season or two.
Cecil Graham's response: "And a sentimentalist, my dear Darlington, is a man who sees an absurd value in everything and doesn’t know the market price of any single thing."
Searching the FA rule book for the rule that says no one is able to haggle with Spurs and are duty bound to pay any figure requested.
It's right after the rule that says Sullivan and Gold are not able to haggle with anyone and are duty bound to pay any figure requested if they don't want to be labelled cheap.
West Ham captain Mark Noble feels Manchester City goalkeeper Joe Hart has "been hard done by" with the England stopper expected to move on loan to the London Stadium.
Hart spent last season in Serie A in Torino but Sky sources understand he is likely to join the Hammers on loan by Monday.
Noble said: "In my opinion, he [Hart] has been a little bit hard done by in recent years. He has been fantastic for England and for his club for the last 10 years and he probably deserves a little bit more respect
Any sign of little pea,, we end up with sweet pea ;lol
The worry is we'll end up with sweet something else ;doh
Did you know there was a Fanny Adams. She was an 8-year old from Hampshirr who was murdered in 1867 and chopped up. Her murderer admitted his crime but couldn't remember where he'd left the bits and most of her was never recovered. When the Royal Navy were issued with tins of chopped mutton they speculated where the rest of her had ended up.....
Just signed in to see who we haven't signed again this week and I'm not disappointed. I'll sign in again next week to see who we haven't signed again. ;biggrin
West Ham will make a third bid for Stoke City winger Marko Arnautovic when the time is right, according to Sky sources.
They have already had two bids rejected - £15m and £20m - while Arnautovic has handed in a transfer request and we are told he wants to move to West Ham.
What goes 'time is right' mean? What, after someone else has bid for him?
It probably means once they have sorted out how much they need to pay for hart, how much they will get for feg and then determine what is left for Arnie and hopefully a striker

I know it's about quality over quantity, but I'd have liked to have a couple of deals tied up by now.

And claims we have agreed to pay 90% of his £130 000 wages.
Yet yesterday, the papers said we were paying half of his £100 000.wages.
It's almost like they make it up...
Chelsea will sign 2 strikers
Bats will be a loan target
Someone else will get him ;weep ( I thought I did all my ;weep the other day but apparently I had at least one ;weep left)
In some cases, the season ticket cost less than the lettering! ;wink
# To you, Tammy - To you, Tammy
1 signing
Nice ;cool

'HART DESERVES BETTER'
