Jakob Gunnar Sigurðsson says no to West Bromwich Albion
“I listened, I thought about it, and I am staying. That is the whole story.” The clubs had agreed a fee. Jakob Gunnar Sigurðsson had not agreed to go, which turned out to be the part that mattered.

The bid was some way short and Burnley did not need long over it. Nobody in the game reads a first refusal as the end of anything.

Clubs spend fortunes looking for players and occasionally find one down the corridor. Benjamin Murphy is that, and the reception he gets on his first appearance will be different in kind from the one any signing receives.

Marko Mladenović falls out with a teammate over standards
The oldest argument in any dressing room and the only one that is genuinely about football: one man thinks another is not putting enough in. It is also the row a manager privately does not mind having happened.
In brief
