  1. ~3,000 available and over 20,000 on the waiting list, even if 80% on the waiting say no they’ll still be snapped up before the season has started with the rest of the waiting list. At best you’re going to get only a handful not taken if that, I’d be surprised if any are left.
  2. Or importance to them turns to importance for us. Just being devils advocate. He’s that important to them and we aren’t much better than them, if we brought him and he became important to us, that’s a win! His price is high though! Sometimes though I’d rather pay PL tax than risk overseas player. I haven’t made my mind up about Phillips and buying him but buying a key player from a rival who could be a key player for us sounds like a good idea to me.
  3. What am I missing that Spurs, Arsenal and Chelsea seemingly interested to various levels? I’m not sure he’s better than what we have and I’m not 100% convinced on Watkins and Ings myself. He’s a fine player but is he worth the money enough that he’s better than what we have?
  4. Ok, I’ve lived the life in both type of places Sydney equivalent to London and then Birmingham so I have experience.
  5. Not really, as a hypothetical if your salary is 50% and your mortgage is 50% higher, it’s likely your free/spare cash is higher. I know that from personal experience from living in both Birmingham and Sydney. How you then choose to spend your free/spare cash is up to you but things tend to be higher in cost in higher earnings areas/cities/countries because those people have a higher surplus of spare cash. Globalisation is reducing this difference obviously because of ease of access but there is still the discrepancy.
  6. For the roles they play for their teams I can’t agree with that. De Jong maybe better but nowhere near infinitely better. I’m not convinced De Jong will be a major success in the PL, I think he would better suited staying at Barca in that league.
  7. and London salaries are significantly higher than Birmingham salaries
  8. Genuinely curious, why are you unvaccinated?
  9. I like watching Frenkie de Jong but I’m not that wowed by him to be honest at the elite level. Not convinced he will be a game changer when he moves to Man U but he is a fine player.
  10. It’s Wednesday, I’ve been up for 90 mins since 5am and still no signings today! What is going on?
  11. To a strong theist it’s probably the same thing
  12. but he has a cool nickname, does that not count for anything these days!
  13. Well we were linked with him in December…some reports suggested £20-25m
  14. What will PSG does as we are signing Neymar, Messi and Mbappe
  15. yeah because coming to Villa will help his chances with England given how much Southgate loves us
