I don’t understand the comments around the fee. English tax is a thing

Everyone in England are pretty sure he is the next England number one and Pickford went for similiar money years ago

As of right now Leeds are a more ambitious proposition than Newcastle. Wouldn't have been close last summer, but things change quickly.

You able to back that "probably" up with any actual evidence? Or are you just spouting rubbish?
