sky sports news have been surprisingly quiet about who Kane's agent is whereas if pogba was skipping training Neville, Souness et al would be wheeled out at the top of each hour to rant about the evil that is Mino raola

Depends how quickly the new-look front four gels I guess. Playing well without Grealish being on the pitch is kind of uncharted territory for us in the last, ooh, five years

If paul pogba had skipped training to force a move i doubt thered be an inch or a second in british sports media to talk about his agent tbh

Leeds were trash tonight against Ajax, beaten 4-0, could see a difficult 2nd season for them, giving up chances defensively and not able to string a pass together, in the final third. Missing Phillips in the centre but full strength otherwise, a humbling night in amsterdam

Lewis O'Brien to Leeds is looking on even though their first offer has been knocked back. His agent is Kevin Sharp who was one of the worst players I've ever seen in the Town backline, now he's also got Kalvin Phillips on his roster - fucking wanker will be coining it in. Reports that he's on the last year of his contract are inaccurate, the club have the option to extend by another year so he won't go cheap. Well he will go cheap in the 10m+ sense.

Per this @TelegraphDucker story on the Grealish deal, he has signed a 6-year deal worth £115m (in wages), which, at £369,231 per WEEK, would make him the highest paid footballer in the history of English football.

Dunno if I buy that story. Villa’s CEO put out a video to the fans last night explaining the situation and he was very clear that the fee was £100m and that was the release clause the club agreed last summer. There was also a story that Villa offered a contract more money than City’s offer but Grealish wanted the move anyway - I’d be surprised if he’s on much more than half that wage
― Windsor Davies, Friday, 6 August 2021 07:28 (two years ago) link
I saw the Purslow video. It doesn't mention anything about wages
His basic salary will obviously be less than that, as these things always include a raft of bonuses. So maybe Villa offered him a higher basic salary, but I'd even doubt that tbh

As inevitable as it seems Messi to PSG is comfortably the least interesting way it could have played out

It doesn’t seem to be guaranteed. Not completely clear that even they want Neymar, Mbappe and Messi’s wages on the books, plus whatever they’re throwing at Ramos, Donnarumma, etc. It’s hard to see anyone giving him €75m a season until he’s 39, though.

back in 2017, then Villa boss Steve Bruce was keen to use Grealish as bait to lure Middlesbrough striker Jordan Rhodes to Villa Park.Bruce had a strained relationship with Grealish for the majority of his spell in the Midlands, with the former boss frustrated by the midfield ace's tendency to complain to referees as well as his antics off the pitch.Rhodes was lined up to add goals to a Villa side desperately struggling for firepower - even if that meant sanctioning the loss of a future star.

so Bruce was willing to do a Grealish/Rhodes swap deal, that would have been an alltime classic.

it was his legacy signings that got Town relegated twice and with one spell of administration in between. Any proper manager would have judged Kenny Irons to be a player with some considerable skill in striking a dead ball, but nevertheless an overweight pisshead who would have struggled to be fit enough for 70's football. And perhaps not sanctioned a 4 year contract on 9 grand a week! I could go on at great length about his ineptitude in the transfer market, but also he probably got lucky a few times.
― calzino, Monday, 9 August 2021 11:32 (two years ago) link
In 2008, Kenny signed for Liverpool Veterans Side Sacre Coeur, who compete in the I Zingari Combination League. However, following the 4–1 defeat on 9 April at the hands of Bootle side Jawbone FC, Irons finally retired.At the age of 46, Irons helped England win the 2016 Seniors World Cup, for retired professionals, in Thailand.

“I think Graeme Jones coming in as a coach (in January), definitely complemented the manager because he’s a little bit more tactically aware and up to date, whereas the manager has his different strengths and attributes," Wilson revealed.
