There's definitely something amiss there isn't there? That'll be £40m out of the club's coffers. It'll have to be. Was there an intermediary, though, and how much did Hoffenheim actually receive (or will receive)? It's very suspect.
I'm convinced that Dwight Gayle would have bagged a hattrick today had he played. DeYedlin had so much space to play in he was able to put decent crosses in throughout the first half. It was almost like having Nobby back, quality crosses and cut-backs regularly being pinged into the box. Before anyone slates me - DeYedlin is in no way comparable to Nobby. He had the freedom of the park today whereas Nobby always had to work past or through defenders in order to get his balls into the box. Sometimes with 3 defenders on him. It was also a crime seeing all of those crosses go to waste. There were a few saved but not as many that nobody got on the end of as I remember.
The service today was as good as I've seen for a while. The excuse that the forwards aren't getting the service was completely debunked by demonstration. Joelinton was woeful. It's like he doesn't know the significance of a white rectangle. Muto wasn't much better either though.
