£435,000 on Akpom and Azon

£10,000,000 for Broadhead

All the empty seats at Lords on Day 5 were members stands. Everywhere else packed. Bought my ticket for £25 a couple of months ago ago just in case - what an investment

Man Utd are not that much better than Ipswich on the pitch and a huge shambles off it at the moment.
Delap is a very good prospect but has a huge way to go.
The young, English premium aspect to his profile is fuelling media overdrive.
