  1. Especially with more and more American owners. I wouldn’t be surprised if we start seeing fixtures played in America and relegation from the league is dropped to only 1/2 teams.
  2. The most exciting thing about all this is the reason he’s coming here. It’s all well and good bringing in high quality people in powerful positions, but you still need to give them the tools to succeed. This guy seems like he could pick any club in the world to go and work at and yet he’s ended up here…. Why? What has he been promised? Super exciting.
  3. We do need to aim high though. Quality over quantity. I’d quite happily only sign 2 players this summer if they were at the level of say a Raphinha (just throwing his name out there as an example). If we bring in a quality support striker and a wide player, our starting XI will be the best it’s been in 25 years.
  4. I can’t see Raphinha leaving them unfortunately. Great player though and would fit our system nicely.
  5. As good as done then I’d say. He’s usually spot on and you’re right, doesn’t mess around with speculation.
  6. Does this mean we can sign Dani Olmo, Raphinha, Fati and Gavi?
  7. It’s clear we’re after a big name in the DOF position though regardless.
  8. Big name. What is it the kids are saying. Villa are cooking?
  9. £25m for Archer with a buyback of say, £40m would be a decent deal, no? I just think he may be a saleable asset which can significantly aid our FFP. I know some will disagree as well, but I actually think Archer and Iroegbunam may be better prospects.
  10. Also, I think football is all about trophies and success. We can't turn our noses up at the idea of potentially competing and winning the conference league in the hope we perform better in the league next year if we're not in it. I get the OP's angle though.
  11. IF we make Europe, and we were genuinely interested in Joao Felix, we should pursue that. He may still want CL, which is fine, but he'd be perfect in our set up.
  12. Saturday becomes a must win if Brighton get anything from United. If they lose, a point wouldn't be the end of the world on Saturday - just means we absolutely must beat Spurs.
  13. The centre back situation is an interesting one. Konsa and Mings have looked superb together under Emery, I just don't think he'd want to break that up. Then obviously you have an expensive Diego Carlos on the bench. Not sure we'll look to spend in this position in the Summer. It would take a lot of money to find a centre half better than those 3 and given we have more pressing needs, we may leave that area of the squad alone.
  14. I think Maddison is quite good.
  15. We should go out and get Hogan with all his intelligent runs.
  16. This nonsense about him making things happen and his genius… Christ, we get it, he tries a through ball every now and again. What’s that got to do with him losing the ball in his own half when under pressure? We get he tries to make things happen, I applaud that, but that has nothing to do with him being dispossessed. Bang average.
  17. Such nonsense. Look, you’ve chosen your avatar and you’re sticking by it, but blaming Watkins for Buendias poor performances, regardless of whether you rate Buendia or not, is laughable.
  18. Like I say, would need to be a decent offer. Doubt that happens though
  19. I’d sell if a decent offer came in for him in the Summer
  20. Conference league would certainly allow us to give these guys 10-15 games a season when you include cups as well. I watched him yesterday. He’s good. I don’t know how that translates to the PL, but he’s technically very gifted. Needs to put on a few pounds in muscle though!
