We'll see tomorrow if he's "rested" whether anything serious is going on at the moment.

I might do but I'd want to see more than "Sky News have been told that..." They wouldn't even quote their source this week. Very poor journalism!

Look at what they're still (even yesterday) saying about Gyokeres, played for Coventry in the Championship etc etc. The snobbery of the PL plays big and Rudi's not even been through the England youth setup. I'll stick my neck out and say nobody will come in for him with a serious offer.

0-0 would be good ;)

Yes but it's Bellingham's age as much as his brother's fame that set his price. Rudi won't be in the same ballpark, unfortunately.

Rudi wouldn't be considered that young anymore though at 24. Bellendingham is 19 in comparison and playing at a "similar" level.

Who knows but outsiders are not allowed to own players anymore e.g. Robbie Keane, any investment must be through the club proper, then it's all transparent.

Not by a long way.

Now you're just being silly!

To try to counter those who believe anything and everything they see on Twitter or in the Sunday papers round up for what it's worth. Agents plant false stories too. If I know one thing, I'm certain that King hasn't told anybody that he offered £7m for anyone. Jerry Yates...

We might have bid a few weeks ago and moved on. You never, ever know the detail! I don't anyway and I find it's better to believe nothing.

I'm calling bullshit - happy to be wrong, of course. I think that kind of money might depend on a couple of sales but it's obvious that we need a quality CB!

We don't want either of them to get off to a flyer like Ipswich or Sunderland in recent seasons. Hopefully they'll take time to gel and pick up some early knocks between them.

Not really but at least we will get good fees if anyone does go. It's the lure of higher wages and higher leagues that we can't control

and our players are all under good contracts, we're in a much stronger position than we have been for a while.
