    By all means have a different opinion but you also must face up to it being scrutinised and challenged respectfully. Posting negative nonsense will get what it deserves, being realistic with rationale is another thing. Regurgitation of negativity and I told you so posts will get the response they deserve.

    Well according to some on here there isn’t enough money to be made from having a state of the art multi purpose and fit for the 21st century stadium which can host multitude of events, oh and close to the city centre and with entertainment amenities surrounding it… i mean good luck to them I say… let’s stick to our awkward shaped site hemmed in by shitty houses with sub par spectator facilities and zero for fans to do before or after a game…

    You’re right we have ONE

    He wouldn’t want to annoy his future employers and teammates by having a stormer against them now would he He will now be able to hammer out the finer details with Edu in the warmth of a private box and then spend time shopping and house hunting with Alisha until the suspension is over.

    Who cares what other teams do and hypothetical scenarios, just focus on the next game. Let’s just enjoy and trust Emery and we will finish where we deserve to finish to come seasons end.

    We recently seem to start slow-ish, weather the storm, and then raise our levels. I think it could be a tactic of Emery’s to mange this stage of the season. Why chase the game and waste energy.

    That’s why clubs will pas through the luxury tax or whatever shit abbreviation they’ll use then change. Better to pay a fine and keep our star players than sell someone we don’t really want to. That said we do need to get better at maximise our sales at the right time to reinvest as well as building our commercially income. Selling Ramsey who hasn’t been fit for most of this season to reinvest in say Nico Williams as an example could be considered good business and good for the bottom line however unpalatable that is for some. We sell Ramsey for £50mill buy Williams for £50mill that’s a book profit of £40 mill now football is run by accountants.

    Sorry mods if it’s too general but as this relates to both us and the whole league thought I’d place this here . https://www.dailymail.co.uk/sport/football/article-13271249/Premier-League-eyeing-ABOLISHING-points-deductions-introducing-NBA-style-luxury-tax-fears-stars-leave-rules-restrict-pay-Everton-Nottingham-Forest-lost-points.html

    Bargain !

    Just read UTD are interested in Nice’s LB Melvin Bard - weren’t they interested in Digne previously - attack minded left back so maybe we could negotiate a Digne or Moreno plus £££ deal for him.

    Shame we couldn’t grab another goal back to keep the status quo in terms of GD. We move on and go again at the weekend which was always a more defining fixture. Even our best 11 could've been ripped apart by Citeh so no shame tonight.

    Early Luiz thunderbolt please McGrath

    Our starting XI is comprised of either full or youth internationals - obviously not our 1st choice XI but it’s still full of talent and even at full strength Citeh could tear us apart. Let’s see how the first half pans out before righting the game off completely.

    Loads jizzed all over the fanatics designed Luke77 branded all claret shirt but I never really got the love for it. I don’t mind if we end up with something similar (the right shade of claret). It’s normal all about the sway and 3rd for me as have 20+ claret body blue sleeve shirts …

    I wonder if there’s a deal we could do with Archer for Arblaster given the buy back clause?
  17. thabucks
    He’ll be halfway through his 6 year deal this summer so £50mill left to amortise - can see them accepting a small hit on him to get his £300k + wages off the books. If he were to do a Coutihno and accept a vastly reduced salary to facilitate a move and then if Emery wants him back I’d be all for it. They say never go back but Cowans played for us on 3 separate occasions and Grealish is up there with our best ever talents we’ve ever produced and could become a club legend if he were to return and shine.

    Very good player , would fit our style our play and much more realistic than Neves for sure ! https://breakingthelines.com/player-analysis/player-analysis-mats-wieffer/
  19. thabucks
    Yet you think Todibo is realistic and want us to sign Hojberg
  20. thabucks
    He is a great player and it’s easy to dismiss English talent against exotic foreign names I admit… Just not sure he propels us in quality as we need that’s all given the players we have unless he replaces Buendia perhaps in the squad.
  21. thabucks
    We need to up the quality of the first team and don’t see how Dewsbury-Hall elevates us good player that he is. Unrealistically someone like Neves would IMO, that’s the level we should be aiming at. If we make champions league then this summer we need readymade players and not someone who could maybe grow into it. We have brought a few project players recently and now need quality.
  22. thabucks
    And ? Still think out of the two Digne is the better player also over a longer period of time, whereas Moreno had a good few months only…
  23. thabucks
    It’s all about the business. Digne is the better player IMO and Miranda is 24 and has re-sale value and gives Sousa a season to develop. We cannot be sentimental and he’s not performed well enough for whatever factor but as long as we do not make a PSR / FFP loss on him I’d sell.
  24. thabucks
    Add Hermoso and Juan Miranda on frees - sell Moreno, The Donk, Chambers & Hause, then promote and utilise the youth in Kellyman & Co. We need quality not quantity.
  25. thabucks
    Blow budget and let’s go for João Neves
