    £50 million each or £50 million plus Pickford for the pair would make sense - if Pickford wants to join an ambitious top 16 club

    They're not having Pickford too ????

    Would love to see him sign a new deal with a release clause for certain bigger clubs he's interested in. The challenge is that the amounts keep going up astronomically. American Football (which is helped massively by a salary cap so it's not a perfect parallel by any means) has an interesting construct called a "Franchise Tag". Basically it says you get paid the average of the top 5 players at your position. Would be interesting to see if a similar artifice could be used to price a "floating release clause". Your release clause is 85% of the average of the top 5 midfielders transfer fees over the past year (or something like that). Ensures everybody gets their money.

    I suppose the difficulty is with undisclosed fees. I know the league and the FA know them but how can Watford?

    Agreed. Then there's the sleazy deals like the Neymar one, where fees evidently get paid outside the "official" transfer fee.

    For that they can have Richie and a lock of Doucoure's hair.

    £50m buys Everton one pube from each player.

    We've got a selection of strikers Everton can have for very reasonable fees.

    Assuming they haven't just plucked those figures from thin air.

    If Deeney is on 100k the club are mental

    Just had a look at Bournemouth wage bill, couldn’t believe how little some of them are on, assuming it’s true

    Deeney isn't on 100, so it's not true.

    I notice that Doucoure did not feature at all in todays freindly in Austria despite us using 22 players in the match, is this worrying?

    Neither did Chalobah, Cleverley or Deulofeu, as well as a few others. Wouldn't read much into it.

    I wonder where that student Chelsea fan from New Zealand got a detailed official breakdown of our contract structures from? He's got a bright future ahead of him in investigative journalism.

    There's no ******* way Prodl is on 10 grand a week, for a start. He was our first Prem signing, a former captain of Werder Bremen, and he chose us over at least one other Prem team. He also signed a new contract a year ago. Bollox.

    They’re mental then. Pretty sure he is on 100k.

    He's not on £100k a week. This is Gino we're talking about and I pretty much guarantee he would not sanction something like that.

    Yep exactly. This 100k figure was just bandied about in the daily mail initially I believe. They might have slightly more insight than us, but I don't even journo's know the ins and outs of our contract details.

    Have you read the Daily Mail? Since when does it have any insight about anything?

    It’s what I’ve been told by someone I trust on these things.

    Is it Gino, Troy, Troys agent, Troys wife or the club accountant? If it isn't they are unlikely to know

    I think today's lead article is 'Is your smart meter spying on you?'

    Not sure the editor of the DM has ever been called "smart" anything.
