Definitely not going to get £35m with Wijnaldum going for £25m. Would do well to get the same fee.

The idea that companies worry about being 'soft left' in their corporate recruiting is rather bizarre... presumably to assist their lobbying though? Interesting post.

Wijnaldum is definitely the best of those three, mind.

Good fee - not a great loss. Agree that he'll be a great player for other sides but realistically, with the most optimistic of outcomes, we're about two or three seasons away from being a side that he could reach his potential in. And he'd be more of a problem than a benefit until that point.

Seriously? I'm actually a bit amazed about that. That said, I reckon that'll be Corbyn who benefits. Also CT, you asked why anyone would vote for Corbyn over Smith. I think at this point it's largely because the PLP have managed to make themselves more destestable than the Tories. On a personal note, I also don't think the left should get anywhere near power during Brexit. The Tories will have to go leftward to spin the whole thing in any manner of positive light I think. They'll have to spend, they'll have to drop austerity, because they need things to look like they're getting better for people. If they don't, then in 10 years time, they'll be fucked. Much like Labour were with the financial crisis.

Well played Ant. Perfect execution as always. I doubt he'll be back.

They seem convinced they'll get Moyes though. Shame if they do, he's a good manager and better than Allardyce...

Wouldn't be entirely opposed to that actually.

We aren't going to get far with foreign businesses buying up our tech industries, mind... Not taking sides in this argument since I know nothing about it, but Hammond can get to fuck claiming this is positive. A harbinger of things to come, I reckon.

Don't worry, there'll be an inglorious bastards clip incoming to clear it all up!

I doubt we'll get more than 20 for Sissoko...

20m would be ok... Reckon we should actually get nearer 25 though.

Bad break as in you reckon that's it? He's done? Or just horrific to look at. I know they can be both of course.

He's not going to win it, man. The whole thing is a farce, and it looks to me like Eagle and Smith are more interested in gunning for each other, anyway.

Needless to say, that cleared everything up beyond all doubt...

So obvious that Mario was going to be at the heart of this... the illuminati bastard.

A little help on that one Parky? I'm not seeing whatever it is we're supposed to be seeing...

2700 judges arrested? What did they have to do with anything?

sorry, my statistics isn't good enough to appreciate nuances in humour!

Is it not a group of people judging each one independently? Rather than choosing between the two? Either way it's irrelevant - comres will have its own interests reinforced here.

ewerk moderating everyone's expectations there

Are they just taking turns?

This sounds enjoyable, albeit against what I assume are shocking opposition.
