Reliable Spurs journo, Paul O'Keefe, has said on twitter that Spurs have now opened talks for Eze, likely on the back of Maddison's recent ACL. Might force Arsenal’s hand a bit and we actually get a resolution. |

The way you've ordered that has given me a headache.
GK, RB, LB, CM, CB, CB, RW, CAM, LW, CM, ST? |

Bad luck? Not bad luck at all, the injury picture at the club is actually very positive. The overall injury levels are trending below the historical average and below the league average - the U13s haven't suffered a single soft tissue injury in pre-season. The ball retention team have been working synergistically with the medical department to ensure optimal performance this season. John De Souza has been methodically working on methods to refine the structures around Jude The Cat to ensure he continues to perform throughout the season and remains available.
If you say we're struggling with injuries, the data shows you're actually wrong. Synergy. [Post edited 7 Aug 14:18]

Ron Walker from Sky saying Wycombe have dropped up-front asking price for Kone to £3m + add-ons, which has probably attracted everyone and their mums. Don't know what Leicester's FFP position is but they're meant to be all over it, having just sold Ndidi to Besiktas. |

Agreed, but at the point of contract expiry and renewal which is what we're talking about here? Excerpt below from the FA's website which indicates that this applies following contract expiry and a new offer, if I'm reading it right?
If a player’s contract is due to expire at the end of the current season and the Club wishes to make an Offer of Re-engagement, this must be on the same or not less favourable terms overall than those which applied during the initial period of employment (or the option period, if applicable). |

That is mental - how on earth does that work in practice?! Surely if a player is declining in value and influence, you should be permitted to offer them a reduced contract commensurate to their output! |

Kelman had 12 months left on his contract and was clear he wasn't going to renew and wanted out. He was an asset declining in value, and we made a pragmatic decision to sell before his value further decreased. There's also the fact that everyone's view on Kelman was negatively tainted from poor appearances in the past (albeit with a very limited sample size).
If we signed Kone, we'd be getting a player who wants to be here and will be under a "multi-year contract", who's value is likely to increase.
Also, new blood. More signings. |

Dave Mc, in one of his characteristically pointed twitter replies, suggested that there was plenty of interest in him but he had an inflated view of where he thought he should be playing. |

I was talking about Kone - the Wycombe Whispers was the give away - but if any club was to be that stupid, it would probably be us. |

That's come from some twitter account called Wycombe Whispers, saying it's been us, Swansea, and Leicester sniffing around, trying to drive a bit of a bidding war, holding out for about £5m. Surely nonsense, and even if we were, why on earth is he choosing us over a Leicester? Would take Celar and Eze both being sold. Fantasy, surely. |

Agreed. We were under the cosh there, couldn't score and pressure was building. A proper reset and Smith comes out tomorrow morning to finish it off. I've got tickets for tomorrow, was sure we wouldn't see any cricket so a nice surprise.
Been an incredible series, the eb and flow has been amazing. So many narratives and a lot of needle in there between the teams. Great spectacle. Gutted that's it until the Ashes now. |

Do you really think a dab of colour on the shoulders would make that much difference to sales? It's something for us anoraks to nit-pick over, but I hardly think you've got people out there who pop round to the club shop to have a look and decide against getting one, because the upper arms are too white. |

Don't get back with your exes ect, but I'm convinced Luongo could have done a very good job in the Colback role this year. Thought he was great when he was here, proper hard worker in the middle of the park, winning the ball and driving us forward. |

I get the rationale - they've lost their best bowler this series and only proper all-rounder in Stokes so need another seamer who can shoulder a proper workload. A couple of part-time spinners in Bethell and Root will have to do the job.
Speaking of needing a proper all-rounder, Rehan Ahmed is absolutely cleaning up with bat and ball for Leicestershire at the moment. Only a matter of time until we see more of him in the test side. [Post edited 31 Jul 10:01]

Think this is getting blown up a bit out of proportion. Did the England players bully him as he walked off the pitch? I've seen clips of Stokes going up and shaking their hands, hardly bullying.
Of course it was whiny and puerile for them to complain about the Indian batters wanting to reach their centuries, they absolutely would have batted on in the same situation. They were also exhausted having been out on their feet for so long and probably very frustrated that the win had slipped from such a dominant position. As has been said, mountain out of a molehill.
EDIT: Realised Superhoops was quoting qprd - apologies. [Post edited 30 Jul 15:21]

Would have been good fun to stack the XI with county championship batters like Rew and Sibley, foregoing any bowling attack, and challenge a Bumrah-less India to take 20 at the Oval, playing for a very dull draw and a series win |

I think you've got your wires crossed there mate.
There's an article on one of those crap clickbait sites called Football League World that has lumped QPR news altogether with the headline: "£2.2m striker race, Alfie Lloyd to Bolton talk, Ebere Eze windfall".
The £2.2m striker they talk about is Nkada who was linked elsewhere, with the value being pulled from that website transfermarkt which just conjours up figures out of thin air. The article then mentions Lloyd being linked with Bolton on loan, but definitely not for £2.2m and quotes Darren Witcoop as it's source. [Post edited 30 Jul 11:30]

Quite amusingly, the Hawthorn has doorstaff today as they saw there was a game on. Can probably send them home lads. |
