Better Call Paul

I don't think that's true - English children are kind but German children are kinder.

This all feels very Champ Manager 97/98 20th season type transfer. I think it's very interesting for the super branded PL to lose one of it's best known players, England captain no less. I'm sure there'll be some serious scrambling on changing Sky VT's and adverts. This feels a little...

Ralph Milne

He only went for £47.5m though
