Whats the gist of it?

Ssn reporting that crystal palace have agreed 32m for benteke.

Absolute bullshit. You don't announce that you're selling a striker and get the money back one year after doing fuck all.

I'd say it's more like 22 with add ons.

But you don't hear a whisper of the structure when it comes to one of the media darlings.

Cue all the bleeting scousers on social media now. Transfer geniuses.

Not sure how they managed that one with an out of form striker that has flopped.

£27m with £5m add ons apparently. Given how crap he was last year, that's good business. We will get £15m max I reckon for Bony. If there are any takers. WBA maybe?

How did they find this out?

Joe hart now no longer good enough, even for sevilla?

I remember le tissier beign unreal infront of goal but he was a lazy bastard...hence there were not a line of teams who wanted to sign him on.

Its not enough to only be good at some things...you need to be an all rounder these days.

I always thought some top teams moved for le tiss.

Anyway, I have my suspicions that sevilla don't want hart because of his lack of ball playing skills.

I think the daily mail are simply kicking a man when he's down.

Could be wrong. Maybe they have amazing sources in Spain

I doubt it as Franco died in the 1970s.

I read today that PG has told Joe he could go yet the quotes were challenging Joe to step up to the plate.

Funny how some of the media will spin an interview.

Read the same headline on BBC. When I looked at quotes they all said that pep said he doesn't want anyone who doesn't want to be here to stay. But that he hopes joe will stay and fight and that if he does he will improve.

That's the one mate, we obviously read it the same, as did the Spurs fan who I was talking with today.

So how did the Beeb come up with that headline, and who for?

So we were crap according to Souness and Quinn

Let them talk shite. Imagine what our results will be when we play well?

Exactly. We know what we are watching, no matter what spin they choose to put on it.
I'll take winning 4-1 away anywhere and being told we're shite, any day of the week.

I wonder what Souness will have made of Liverpool 's 2-0 away defeat today.
They were poor. I mean not quite 1-4 away win poor, but pretty poor all the same.

To be fare, I think he'll nail them. Souness always seems reasonable with his comments and will always have a pop when he thinks it's needed.

Looking at both Souness and Quinn's faces, you could see they were answering the questions set, and in the manner they were questioned.
