I think we can thank Brighton for basically making any talented, young midfielder worth 100m. Spuds need a striker so they aren't going to offer anything that comes close to turning Parish's head. West Ham are the comedy addition to the rumour list. Neither club are that much of a step up as things stand.

I think an important thing that Eze has over Olise is that the club seem to be using him as the new figurehead in marketing now Zaha has gone. He has the personality as well the ability which makes him much more valuable not just on a footballing level but a business one too.

Haha, oops, getting ahead of myself. I was, of course, thinking Monday.

Dad and I watched games standing on the muddy slope of the Holmesdale Road end. He cheered and I rattled.
