I have not watched Eduoard but he is apparently very good according to the media people and people on here. I can't get THAT excited though as its the Scottish league, I don't buy into the whole he could be a hit or a miss because it is that league if you watch him you can make a very educated guess. It could be a very important buy for us if he is as good as people say.

Oh FFS just sign or don't. I'm so over this now.

I would say to him we are going to start talking to other targets and give him 48 hours to decide. I do think he would be a great buy but we can't let the alternative players move like Eze.

Barcelona – £438m Man United – £332m Man City – £315m Real Madrid – £312m Liverpool – £310m Bayern Munich – £292m PSG – £290m (2017-18) Chelsea – £285m Juventus – £281m Arsenal – £230m That was 2019's top ten wage bills Our wage bill was way above 18 million as well, not sure where you got these figures from and 120k isn't a crazy wage now but the calibre of player is higher than him if you aren't just pissing the money down the drain. Look at the wage bills on that list.... you can't just commit massive wages willy nilly its where most of the revenue goes.

Just seen that Everton are offering Doucoure 120k a week I’m no longer interested if that’s the case I’d rather have McKennie

I’d check but I can’t be bothered

I thought it was for an illegal signing?

We want none of those types of players!

True but the buying club doesn't know how much money they need, if any.

They do have a lot of saleable assets they can do without though.

I would be happy to get that for him a million is the best we could expect

Rashica, Buendia and Watkins is quoted at 65m. You could get Eze and McKennie on top of those for the budget you mention at quoted prices

Depends on the formation you play I want 4231 so in that 6 players who can play or wide forwards or at 10. we have Jack who can play in all three of those roles and Connor and John who could play as 10. If you want to play the latter two as a 10 in a game you need a further midfielder for the 6/8 roles. You then need two wide forwards and keep the existing two.

Page 552 no signing... have I missed any news today?

Just as an FYI add in to that FFP still exists. Our owners have loads of money and may want to spend loads but there are limits. What I would say is to us I think 80 million is more valuable than Jack is this summer. When I say this I mean we can spend that on a few players who collectively will improve the team more than having just jack in the team and lesser players. There is also the lesser risk of having 3 players vs 1 for injuries. Where I think that changes is in a summer or two when we may be a club that is expected to finish in the top half and we look to those top 6 spots where the truly excellent players like Jack are the difference.

We currently have AEG, Trez, Jota and Grealish. it can be argued that someone those aren’t good enough and others don’t suit playing as a wide forward. two starting wide forwards is priority one.

Absolutely not we MUST sign two wide forward of which one must be a natural on the right.

So Thursday gone no players in

I really don't see it and I hate his attitude

Double that

Being a bit of an upgrade isn’t good enough our move from where we are now is either mid table or safe a month before the end of the season. We need more quality on the wide forward areas to stop the ball coming back too quickly, to have options other than jack which is easily defend against, some pace and of course to add goals to the team. 2 quality players in that area is the be all and end all before other positions are looked at if we don’t have the money available for whatever reason this summer

Yea loads of costs but the revenue is exponentially more

For your TV deal comment ...

Yep who’s going to buy him for more than , Watkins or Iheanacho? It’s not far below Edouard. they may as well give him lead boots because he isn’t getting away from them
