Awol

Araujo currently on €135K pw according to fbref - don’t know how accurate that site is for salaries. 

I’m going to take a punt and guess this Ronald Araujo fella is fairly decent? 

I know it didn’t matter but still horrible to watch h us get battered as it happens. 

thanks to whoever posted “is Olsen a hologram?”

Defence has to be the priority this summer, proper shambles. 

KKH on the wing? 

None of us can be more pissed off today than KKH. Cannot believe that kid didn’t get a game.

Dougie got away with one there… 

Fair play, they’re running rings around us.

I know alot of posters wont agree but if it meant selling ramsey and we could get olise or eze i would do this

Unai has a meeting with Wes tomorrow to talk transfers. Hopefully he’ll have seen the game!

That’s 4 yellows Anderson should have by now, if anyone is counting.

Happy this should be last time we see these soaking shirts

8.5% ABV if you wring them out though. 

Villa vote to keep VAR and get rewarded with a right Royal shafting by VAR.

We should get Anderson from Palace, he’d walk into our team. Miles better than the useless Diego Carlos.

He should’ve been off after 20’ mins today for three yellows - given one

We just absolutely cannot defend 

Lenglet and Carlos will both be gone next season, with any luck. Neither great individually but honking together.

Which is funny as Bruno G to Man City is well down the line 

Him and Rodri in midfield? PL Champions 24/25 season.

'It is unclear whether Chelsea retain an interest in Durán, but it is highly unlikely they would consider any sort of swap deal for academy product Gallagher given his sale would count as 100 per cent profit in terms of profitability and sustainability rules.'

Cool. 60 million for Duran on 15th of June, 40 million for CG on 1st of July.

Mbappe

Villa having a plan for Mbappe is like me having a plan for Jessica Alba. 

Duran for CG as a straight swap makes loads of sense - if Duran wants out. He’s a junior McGinn and perfect rotation. That leaves us short a striker, but if it were to happen then Monchi Inc have a plan for that, too.

We may sacrifice someone the fans feel is essential but I trust the process and people we have in charge … one of McGinn, Luiz, Konsa, Ramsey, could make way for 2/3 quality additions and I’m ok with that. We will only sell if it benefits us and our terms … no more bullying into selling players 

Yep. There’s clearly an FFP hole to be filled by the 30th of June, so someone we probably won’t like leaving will be off. Come July the purse opens, or at least the contracts that are already arranged (by then) with new players are executed. 

if we are allowed the extra 30 million headroom in FFP that Villa and Newcastle are asking for, maybe that big sale can be avoided. But I don’t see the league or other teams doing us any favours..

To be fair, he took a massive pay cut I understand to join Barca. If that genuinely has been his dream, then fair play to him. He’s ticked it off his list and now he can find a new club.

Do I want him? No idea. I remember him being very good for Chelsea against us a couple of seasons back. 

He’s mostly played off the bench, 7 goals 3 assists in the league, 3 goals 1 assist in CL. 

If we are in the market for a proper LW he might be more affordable than Nico Williams, or available on another loan (to buy?)

no chance mate, got his dream move and regularly playing. On massive wages. Happy now

Oh no sir, that’s not the case. Loan expires on 30th June and he’s back to Madrid, where the fans will boil him in oil. He’s got to be sold, and they won’t get the price they want for him (unless they want a lot less than they paid). 

*sneaks into transfer thread*

Joao Felix? 

*runs away*

That rather makes my point for me, as both Kovacic and Partey can play in more than position than just DM, whereas I think Ugarte is pretty much exclusively a DM, also Kovacic is thirty now, so more likely to be happy as a back-up than would be the much younger Ugarte, especially at a club like City. But who knows maybe we could find room for both Kamara and Ugarte, that's if we're even interested

I reckon the answer here is in your previous posts. Ugarte* in the 6 role and Kamara playing more like Rice does at Arsenal. 

*Accept that there’s no indication we are after him this summer.

We were linked with him before and seemed like Barca were looking rid of him, but he dug his heels in and stayed.  Maybe us in the CL now might change his mind, but it's looking like Barca will be getting a new manager, so he might want to hang about.

I don’t think we can afford him and Baena (unless Duran leaves) unfortunately, but he’s done well again this season with limited playing time. Would really like him here as LW and cover for Ollie if needed.
