Because we don't have the income to do it if we comply with FFP. We wasted most of the grealish money so the amortisation of that 100m for the most part is accounted for. Our wage bill is surely higher than ever with 2 big free transfers in Kamara and Tielemans, never mind paying off the scouse gimp and his backroom staff. The striker market is poor and you will be paying huge money to get equal or better than Watkins. I nornally find myself agreeing with you but on this surely you must see we have spent very very highly in the past 3 or so years and we won't be getting much for our deadwood fringe players if we are honest. All points to not spending 70/80m on a striker. It's just common sense.

I don't obviously. I'm just using a degree of common sense in that we have spent a fair amount in wages and transfer fees and we can't be dropping 70/80 million on a striker that would be the cost to get a better striker.

Need a backup RB and GK. Don't think anything else is achievable or realistic. We won't be buying a striker as good or better than Watkins with the budgets we have left.

Emery out

Yes he normally watches Premier League Soccer

Could say the same of Torres to be fair!

That escalated quickly

I don't disagree

I suppose we are banking on Watkins playing 40+ games and not getting injured or suspended. Duran and Archer unproven at the level.

Most will be loans I guess

You would have hoped the medical team would know if his physical ability permentaly damaged before signing him ffs

Did he completely total his knee?

We only need a right back and ideally backup goalkeeper really. Anything after that should come after making some sales.

Welcome to the Thrillho

He's in America now then

Clearly must be with Mendes. His talent and achievement didn't and still do not justify it.

Diaby may be the new 10

Top scorer in womens league. On bench. Guess the team you play for also matters in women's football too Let's ignore the fact that team didn't exist 15 years ago....because they thought it was a waste of money.

Actual coaching. Compare and contrast to the idiot at Ettifack or whatever they are called.

This rumour is giving me the vapors

Sadly true

We spent enough on him and his performance in Germany suggests there is. Statistically in Germany he's very close to Diaby?

Talent is there. Injury history is a big concern. We have Bailey already as injury prone wingers. Don't need 2 expensive ones.

He's just not that good is he. Really don't see the hype.

He ain't no Jalen Ramsey
