  1. zero % chance of that happening. 3/4m is stupidly cheap for a player as good as Archer. Plus we would just be locking in a loss of up to 10m which we would never be doing to our accounts with PSR to comply with
  2. Very unlikely it's that low, it would result in a book loss for Sheffield United. He'll have £13.5m left on his book value so I would imagine our buyback is around that price
  3. Yeah he's got 0.39 xG+xAG per 90 in a team who are by far the worst side in the League. He's done well I think for his first season in Prem. He'll learn from it and improve. I wonder what our buy back obligation is, £12m or £14m or something like that possibly. I'm sure there will be PL teams interest in him this summer at those prices. Alternatively we could loan him out

    The Premier Leage rule changes are irrelevant for the top clubs as the UEFA ones are more stringent and we all have to comply with them already.
  5. I don't think anyone does tbh. Heck said it though.
  6. He's on record more than once saying the capacity will be increased by 1500 to 2700 additional seats.
  7. So improving the overall experience and keeping prices where they are now while adding in 1000 to 1500 additional Premium seating and Premium Spaces. Sounds good
  8. I'd go Rogers, Luiz, Tielemans, McGinn, Diaby, Watkins and then Digne and Cash as FBs. Deploy Bailey in second half
  9. We have to wait until our new partners were all signed up before we can do any of that. We only announced our short sponsor a few days ago. Adidas need to make all these now. That's the reason for the delay
  10. Totally agree. I do prefer the new leaked badge and the old badge to the current round one. I think this is the right unique style and continuity we need
  11. To me, off the field is about revenue. Maximise it to close gap on the top clubs as that is the fuel for the investment in the squad. It's about winning football matches
  12. Your opinion. Everyone has one. They key part is not being a run of the mill round badge. Also the badge needs to be simple so it can be put on lots of different merchandise.

    Unai Emery

    I wonder how much of a draw working under him will be for players. He has improved everyone at the club and surely any prospective signings will be thinking about that. Especially younger players
  14. No, there are only binary outcomes, you love or hate him. Only 2 choices
  15. If we qualify for the CL we'll crack £300m in revenue before player trading next year. That'll be ~ 70% rise in 3 seasons.
  16. Nassef is Executive Chairman. That is when the role of CEO is combined with Chairman.
  17. He's done a superb job so far. He's head of Business Operations and has gone out and just got us over double our sponsorship revenue in 11 months. Closing the commercial revenue gap to the big 6 is the key thing the club has to do off the pitch to help sustain the top tier football department we have. The brand launch coming, plus the 150 years give us an opportunity to get even more exposure. The timing for a documentary on us is ripe and that's income and exposure. How we grow matchday revenue is the next big step. There needs to be a better fan experience and transport to have people come to ground earlier and leave later. It's how to grow the overall revenue and experience.
  18. Can only be on oan as they won't be paying us his £8.5m book value in a transfer fee and then his wages.
  19. We'll see what Emery goes with. I'd be surprised if we had 4 senior fullbacks and 4 center backs. I think we'll have 5 CBs and 3 senior players who can play FB with Nedeljkovic as the additional youth player. I think Lenglet, Chambers and Digne leave. We sign a LCB and a FB
  20. He's the perfect alternative option to Pau for our LCB of back 3 in build up. I think we will sign him. We love a free transfer and we can pay high wages.
  21. They had no Palmer and he's 90% of their team basically
  22. I listed the CBs in the post you quoted. Only 1 of the players was new, Hermoso replaces Lenglet. Chambers leaves club. We have 5 CBs as we often play games with 3 CBs on pitch and we have a stacked schedule with Europe and Domestic football. Mings needs to ease back into it also. There is no way we are going into next season with 4 CBs only. We had 5 this season, 2 are leaving and Mings is returning.
  23. Lenglet was very similar to Pau in terms of his fbref stats, lots of progressive passes and carries, excellent passing etc. He was in 99th percentile at those when at Barcelona, then was very high in same stats at Spurs. That's not what Mings strengths were. Emery played Pau Mings Konsa Cash in pre season. What he was showing was his plans were Moreno or Cash can be the attacking FB and the other 3 CBs form the back 3 in possession.
  24. People keep saying this. Mings is a completely different player to Pau and Lenglet. Mings is competition for Diego Costa. If Pau is injured for 2 months and Lenglet is not in the squad we have compromised our build up structure which is fundamental to the way we play. Mings is a superb defender and our poor record from set pieces defensively is because of how dominant Mings is with first contact and how weak Pau is. If you look at the two players profiles strengths and weaknesses they are completely different players. This is why I think it's critical we get another player with similar skillset as Pau and for me that's Hermoso on a free. With Pau, Hermoso, Mings, Costa and Konsa we have the perfect mix of player profiles for our system of one attacking FB and 3 CBs.
  25. There might be a reaction from Chelsea after that 5-0 drubbing. I don't think it helps our chances on Sat much if at all. We need the atmosphere at VP to be amazing and players to give everything. If we go 9 clear of Spurs that will be huge, the players know it.
