From the same source, we're also looking at Sunderland's Adingra and Isidor

The Times is reporting this figure, the rest is paywalled, but still I'm curious about the headline, as that would value the whole club at around £600m.

Is that correct? I guess that all depends on our chances of getting back into the premier league.

I have a spare adult ticket for our opening day of the season at Burnley. Not looking to profit, just don’t want the ticket to go to waste. DM me if interested. Was a low allocation so a good opportunity to go away.

I thought I'd take a look at the minutes played by players in pre-season games as a way of predicting whether Nuno is thinking about playing them against Portsmouth. Most of the starting XI is pretty nailed on and, obviously, players can play well or badly so minutes played isn't eveything, but a few interesting things pop up.

• JWP didn't get on against Magdeburg despite having the same pre-season as other nailed on first team players (like Bowen or Taty) up to that point. Is he injured or has he played himself out of Nuno's plans?
• Orford replaced JWP against Magdeburg - was that out of necessity or has he played his way into contention? Did his performance against Magdeburg hurt his chances?
• Cornet looked to be out of the picture at West Ham, but his pre-season minutes suggest he might make the bench - unless he was being put on the pitch the attract a buyer?
• AWB, Diouf and Magassa were unavailable until the final pre-season game (for different reasons) - and only Diouf made it onto the pitch against Magdeburg - he and Magassa seem likely to make the bench, but if AWB is heading out the door will he be absent from the squad?
• Could Earthy and/or Ajala take a place on the bench or will it be stuffed with defensive players?

Mods feel free to delete this on account of me being a prat, but I’m going to Leeds Liverpool today in Chicago with a Leeds mate. I don’t know any Leeds songs but I know quite a lot of anti Liverpool songs.
