    Son Heung-min apparently on the verge of leaving Spurs for Los Angeles FC.

    Think this could oddly be quite good for Spurs. Make/help them move on/evolve. He was really poor last season but given his status he was continually picked when he probably shouldn't have been.

    True and it would really give MGW the room he needs to flourish there.

    Just realised the bottom two divisions start today. Think I'm actually quite in favour of giving them a weekend to themselves. Although the fact I've only found out about it today suggests it's not working brilliantly as a strategy to give them the limelight.

    Strictly speaking they started last night. I watched a bit of Luton v Wimbledon and it was absolute shite. Though pleasing in a way to see the annoyance that was Luton 2 seasons ago where they are now.

    I'd missed this. I went to pick up our Notts season cards this morning and there were 2 buses for away fans and I thought that seems a lot of effort for a friendly.

    Proper old school with Season Tickets for both teams. Good work.

    Meanwhile, I'd missed this as well until yesterday when someone at work mentioned Lincoln v Reading and how they fear a tough time this season.

    Luton beat Wombledon 1-0 in the first game of tbe season, it says here.

    With the usual caveats (pre-season friendlies don't count and it wasn't their 1st team) Direby lost 1-0 at Forest Green Rovers thanks to this goal.

    BBC reporting that United would listen to offers of £30m for Rasmus Hojlund, which strikes me as reasonable value in the current market.

    Maybe if he could act like he’s seen a football before, he’d be OK as a free transfer.

    I think he's ok. If we offered £25m I don't think it would be a bad move. United kill players. We are the resurrection.

    See Russell Martin is already slagging off his players for not executing his plans.

    The 'low' price is presumably only such because of the high wage commitment. So you can't really consider where you are in terms of 'value' without taking those into account.

    Despite looking a decent athlete, as @RC observes, he is unfortunately not a footballer. The price for what is currently effectively a youth prospect, with perhaps at best 6-8 productive years ahead of them, assuming a massive and immediate development upturn. Your direct comparison is someone like Evan Ferguson. Hard to see how you come out of that one (the manure one) ahead. I would definitely be looking to get another one, value wise.

    Give 'T' a new contract while he's cheap.

    It doesn't seem that long ago that this sentence would be the absolute reverse. And the conversation wouldn't even be happening anyway.

    It's a funny old game, Saint etc.

    Maddison stretchered off in tears 4 minutes from the end of Spuds friendly with Newcastle.
    Thank goodness for them they signed MGW.

    Thanks mate. It's a slow news day. And I need to do something between overs in the test.

    I realise this is probably nothing, but John Textor only follows clubs he owns on social media.

    He just followed Sheffield Wednesday.
