  1. Would like to see this. 442 out of possession this in possession. Think it’ll be too early to throw Zaniolo in so maybe Phil in his place. Quite a few unusually bad performances in the weekend but Cash and Bailey have proved over a long period they’re not good enough
  2. Yes this is correct. Worth noting the Athletic article regarding what Chelsea are doing. Buying players spreads the fee over the contract, so for us this season, £45mill for Diaby over 5 years is £9mill this year, Torres £6mill this year which is offset by the £14mill we are getting for AJ (sales can be offset straight away for that year - any transfer fee still to be paid). So in theory we can still spend but it gets tricky because you have to consider the transfer fees we are still paying off for the whole squad. This also doesn’t include the added losses of wages also.
  3. Selling Bailey this window would be the right thing to do. There’s no way of being sustainable and not having FFP worries without selling players who aren’t good enough for sizeable money. All the top clubs do this. 2 years left on his deal and still only 25 and he’s not had a bad return (4g 4a in the premier league). Genuinely think sell to a lower mid table team like a Fulham and could easily get £20-£25mill. Reinvest the money.
  4. Seems very much like he’s in talks with Everton and agents want to speed things up. We’re now in a position where we’re not competing with the likes of Everton
  5. This happened to Cash being linked with Athletico before signing his deal, Martinez also. If anything this is good news as it suggests a new deal is close to completion
  6. Seen a lot of this on twitter this transfer window, and it’s really frustrating. Anyone with 100 followers writes something and then puts a journalist as a source and everybody believes them. Not seen this qql guy mention this keeper or us but people will believe whatever they want
  7. Only the Spanish press have said we’re “close to signing him”. Hope I’m wrong but it stinks of an agent trying to get PSG to hurry up and make an offer. We’re a much more attractive club now and more attractive than say Spurs and other teams around us, but we can’t compete with PSG and guaranteed champions league football. He’ll fully back himself to break into that team as well.
  8. Booing at half time when Emery has won 3 out of 4 prem games is embarrassing. What must Emery be thinking. And the argument of “we pay the money so we can do what we want” is tragic. I know the high expectations has always been there but when did we become so entitled. The players must have been baffled at half time. Not really surprising we were better without fans in the ground.
  9. It is so refreshing to finally have a manager who is incredibly tactical and will give us a clear style and identity. We can have full confidence going into each we’re as prepared as we possibly can. It gets negative quickly when you’re questioning the managers decisions every time he puts the team out.
  10. https://talksport.com/football/1160663/unai-emery-middle-finger-arsenal-villarreal-aston-villa-southampton/ Yes. Because an Arsenal fan asked him to say good evening
  11. To some extent you’re correct. But we’re fans of football not language experts. It’s moronic to take the mick out of someone’s 2nd or even 3rd language when they can’t even string two sentences in a 2nd language. especially when they’re our manager who clearly does not like it (video of him swearing at Arsenal fans)
  12. Unless you’re fluent in a second language, you do not have a leg to stand on to be commenting on his English skills. For some reason being born in the UK seems to give an automatic sense of entitlement.
  13. This 15-20 goals gets mentioned a fair bit almost as baseline for a decent prem striker. Which is a bit harsh considering only Mane, Ronaldo, Salah, Kane and Son got more than 15 goals last year.
  14. As he told Villareal his decision on Friday, I do wonder if he had any influence on the team setup against Brentford. We did play his counter attacking direct 4231. Maybe not but it did seem quite bold to change the system completely from Danks.
  15. Probably won’t happen but I’d go Kamara and Dendoncker sitting in a 4231, then neither McGinn or Ramsey get in, or Luiz.
  16. See this opinion on social media quite a lot and I can’t understand it. He’ll leave next summer for free but at least we “stood firm”. unless he’s signed a new deal which I don’t know why he would. He’s not even that good, doesn’t get in our starting XI, I’d have taken the 25 mill and ran with it.
  17. Chambers is our best CB available to I agree with that. Ever thought Luiz may not be starting because he won’t sign a new deal and could even be off tomorrow?
  18. I’m Gerrard Out but I I do feel fans will moan about the team whoever he puts out to suit their agenda
  19. It may be pure coincidence but wasn’t a certain Matty Cash linked with Athletico just before signing a new deal. Agent pushing for more maybe?
  20. Yeah winger/inside forward whichever way you call it. 3 people for 2 positions is not enough imo
  21. This is what I don’t get. And how many wingers do we have if you ignore Traore who’s likely going to Turkey. Bailey Buendia and Coutinho. Surely getting an out and out winger is more critical
  22. Harvey Elliot is now 19 but only 6 months difference in age. Elliot is miles ahead of him. Not even close
  23. I don’t think we’ll get him but in our system the CM’s play like lb/rb’s. In addition he’s a fantastic passer. He’s exactly the CM we need. Perfect system fit.
  24. No chance we go for another CB unless we sold one of Mings or Konsa, which ain’t happening either. I think we’re done in the CB area
