  1. Did you not see him get the ball trapped at his legs last night that nearly ended up in an OG. Did you see the Brentford game last year?
  2. Don’t think we looked the same team since he went off. His passing out of the back is a joy to watch.
  3. He’s no where near good enough lads anyone saying otherwise is nuts. I can appreciate people not liking abuse but he’s simply not good enough to be our back up.
  4. Surely, Bailey and Bert either side of Duran then. Feel like all 3 can be greedy, expect a lot of poor judgement tonight.
  5. I’d personally take 3 if it meant Olsen wasn’t 2nd choice.

    Keinan Davis

    Assume it’s 5m for JPB and -5 for Davis?

    Matty Cash

    So so so so so so so poor today
  8. Does it not sound like he’s agreeing a contract already that if we exercise the buy back clause? I.E we exercise it and it’s done. If so that sounds great to me you are incentivising him to go out and earn a big pay rise.
  9. How much are we going to have to pay him off to take a pay cut?
  10. Would be great if we could do an auction like in taken with all the Saudi clubs. Where we just have Bailey, Coutinho, Dinge all walk out and do a few tricks and Monchi is on the mic just like we start the bidding at…
  11. Shame we couldn’t have done a 3 teamer like in the nba. Villa get Diaby in exchange for Al Nassr getting Coutinho and Leverkusen getting cash.
  12. The last back up gk we signed from them wasn’t bad.
  13. Leeds supporting mate text saying Gnonto wants to stay in UK not go back to Italy (apparently most Leeds sales thus far have been outside UK).

    Tyler Adams

    Buddy of mine who's a leeds fan said he was incredible for them and was a huge loss when he got injured.
  15. It's all part of a salary, simply put payments to players would be capped. Maybe they can pay their wives.
  16. The NBA have radically changed their rules on the back of the spending of the Warriors and Clippers. The NBA has a soft cap, after a certain point once your salary is over the cap you are into the luxury tax but it does have various exemptions. The teams over pay different luxury taxes depending on the number of consecutive years they are in the luxury tax, if you're say 10m over and its your first year you pay 20% tax on that 10m i.e. another 2m. This tax money from all the teams over is divided by the teams not in the luxury tax, so it pays to be under the tax. Where you are over 3 years or more in a row you must pay 50% tax on the overage. The new collective bargaining agreement has brought in strict rules for teams over the luxury tax, they are no longer allowed trade picks more than 7 years away and also can't take back more money in a trade (currently salaries in trades need to be within 125% for the trade to go through unless a team can absorb the salary via cap space). This means significant less flexibility for teams over the cap long term. However, the most important point is that the new cba has also brought in bands to the luxury tax and with each band having a higher rate of tax for each $ you venture further into the tax. I believe the Warriors are looking at $350m odd this season between salary and tax but with the new figures would be looking at something just under $500m. That is a significant increase and when you add in the trade restrictions, it is going to make life very tough for the warriors in Steph's twilight years. It's hard to see a situation where teams will agree to allow any restriction on teams over being able to acquire players as it ultimately weakens the league. Teams also need to limit their wages to 70% of income for UEFA competitions. I can't see how a soft cap situation would work in the Premier League. If it is a situation where there is a hard cap for player salaries of say 3 times the lowest teams tv rights, that could make the league far more competitive which you would hope would only help viewing figures, but will it ultimately lead to a Saudi super league ala Liv in the golf?
  17. I think Denver put up 130 in game 1.
