Whilst chelsea slam our near neighbours

Won 7-2 against the mighty Tavistock last night in the first game of our of Devon and Cornwall. Next up are Bodmin.

Touring C&D are about as close as your lot will get to playing in Europe so make the most of it...by the way it's peeing down there 😁

Oi we have been in Europe numerous times and beat Real Madrid on one occasion and reached the semi final of the Cup Winners Cup.

That was the past, I'm talking about the future.

Been there done that

But nevertheless I still want a repeat of the whole lot this season - COYB

Burnley's first day opponents are clearly worried as they have to pay £60 million on some bloke as they try to ensure they don't drop points.

Soccer-Premier League clubs set to break 1.2 bln pound record spend
Mon, 24th Jul 2017 14:01

LONDON, July 24 (Reuters) - Premier League clubs have spent more than 850 million pounds ($1.1 billion) in this summer's transfer window and are on course to break their record, data released by website Sporting Intelligence showed on Monday.

With more than a month remaining before the close of transfer business on Aug. 31, English clubs are again proving to be Europe's heaviest spenders and will likely top the 1.165 billion pounds they lavished on new players last summer.

Manchester City have spent the most, 188 million pounds on six new players, with Monaco's Bernard Mendy becoming the latest to join on Monday. City did not publish a fee, but British media reported it to be around 49 million pounds.

City have received 34.2 million pounds from selling five players, leaving a net spend of more than 150 million pounds.

Champions Chelsea are the next biggest spenders on 130.4 million pounds, followed by Manchester United on 105.8 million pounds, although Jose Mourinho's club say they will make a further two signings during this transfer window.

Meanwhile, Everton who have spent 93.4 million pounds, have recouped it all, mainly by selling Romelu Lukaku to Manchester United. Arsenal, whose manager Arsene Wenger has been under pressure to bring in new players after a disappointing season, have so far spent 52.7 million pounds.

Three clubs, Tottenham Hotspur, Stoke City and Crystal Palace have yet to spend anything, with Spurs currently 74.3 million pounds in credit on all deals.

All three teams promoted to the Premier League have invested, with Huddersfield's 36.4 million pounds just topping Newcastle United's 31.2 milllion pound, while Brighton and Hove Albion have spent just 13.3 million pounds.

The figures reflect the huge riches being pumped into the world's most lucrative league, with clubs receiving 8.3 billion pounds in TV rights alone for the current three-year cycle.

Such riches mean Premier League clubs are paying a premium in the market. West Bromwich Albion manager Tony Pulis became the latest to question the current trend of hyperinflation.

"At the moment the market out there has gone crazy," he said last week. At 19.8 million pounds, Albion have been one of the league's most modest spenders.

Prices for players are absurd now !......twenty million will only get you a muppet now it seems....just crazy.....(you can have me at that price !...might put myself forward...as long as I get 10% that is...cheap...)...

What say you?

What next for Everton and Sigurdsson?

THANKS FOR YOUR VOTE

£45m is too much. Move on to other targets.40%
Pay the extra £5m and get it done!60%

Second bid for Sigurdsson rejected - but are Blues now close?

Everton’s summer pursuit of Gylfi Sigurdsson drags on - but I get the feeling we’re heading to a conclusion in this one.

Everton’s second bid of £45m was turned down by Swansea yesterday, with the clubs now just £5m apart in their valuation of the player.

45 million.....totally nuts.....round the bend paying money like that for average players....the premiership gone mad.....it will end in tears if every player is valued so much..... if these players are valued like this...how much would you value the Bobby Charltons and KK's if they were playing today ?......300 million plus.....crazy ?.....

Bound to be a crash/casualty at some stage. For instance Man U the self proclaimed biggest club in the world are over £500m in debt.

One slip and its a big fall

Ludicrous imo

How about looking after the fans and knocking down ticket prices a bit instead of paying out stupid money for average prices.

Away tickets for Arsenal are a joke as are those for many other clubs.
