  1. A cursory glance would suggest that they are in need of money.
  2. https://salarysport.com/football/brasileirão/club-de-regatas-vasco-da-gama/ If this is anything to by, he would absolutely destroy their wage structure even if he took a huge cut.
  3. Emery didn't mention him today, so with Pau out tomorrow, you'd expect him to feature unless he's off.
  4. Seems fanciful seeing as he starts for them.
  5. While the ability to adapt and deal with his absence is great, surely we'd still be better off if we had him available?
  6. Kamory Doumbia has just scored 4 goals in a half against Lorient. Only 20. Never heard him before today. Sign him up.
  7. You've also got the benefit of hindsight. JPB hadn't proved himself capable of producing consistently in the final third before this season and there was no way in hell he was getting first team.
  8. Because we've bought a lot of good expensive players in recent years and the fees and wages add up.
  9. He concentrates really hard at being a bit shit at just about everything
  10. Yeah and rightly so because he's supposed to be a trusted, experienced international goalkeeper and is handsomely remunerated for it. He's not a kid making his debut for the first team.
  11. Yes, but our best chances of success are by him having the best players available for him to do his job and we're not getting someone better than Luiz.
  12. That was a nice story, why'd you delete it?! A bit of wholesome banter.
  13. Olympiakos are shite. I've seen Ajax play a couple of times against AEK this season and they're not really up to much either - there are some good youngsters there but we'd batter them all the same.
  14. What did you do to elicit that response? 'Papin? MORE LIKE CRAPIN! AMIRITE?!'
  15. He's only played RB 20 times in his career, apparently. Stats-wise looks like he's comfortable on the ball and can pass, which certainly fits the system. No idea if he's any good, though, as this is the first time I've ever heard of him, let alone seen him play.
  16. For sure - it was deliberate from Martinez to disrupt things and waste time (classic Dibu shithousing tbf) but it wasn't a smart idea given how sour the atmosphere had turned and Bouba is suffering now. Are 3 points worth Kamara out for 3 games? Hard to say.
  17. It doesn't matter what it is in relation to TBF - other teams have to break them down too and the fact is we're 2nd highest scorers.

    And I don't think he and Dibu would get on too well after yesterday's theatrics
  19. 100%. Both he and Moreno looked like they'd barely played in months yesterday, because they, well, er, haven't - and getting them both up to speed again could be vital for us as the season goes on.
  20. How are we struggling to break teams down? We've scored the second most goals in the league
  21. Would you take it, if offered? I'd be tempted.
  22. Got the result but he was very much missed today in both defence and attack. He's such a calming, composed influence and is an outlet for both. He's a massive reason we are where we are.

    Unai Emery

    Very curious to hear his comments following that fiasco.
  24. It's pretty hard to know where to begin with a post like that - arrogance, xenophobia, bigotry, accusing people of virtue signalling because they actually do give a shit, accusing someone who literally does have family and friends there of virtue signalling. You're a terrible human being.

    But that doesn't prepare him for the PL either and the standard isn't good enough. He's got a lot of senior appearances under his belt already (100+, I believe), albeit not in the English game, and I think he'd be better served staying at the club for the reasons I mentioned (and I think the club think that too).
