One of the most frustrating lines people trot out, no data or stats behind it 

Other than the past 10 years. It's been the same 6 teams year after year. Eventually they will get back there as there revenue is much higher than ours.

It's going to hurt when he leaves in the summer isn't it

Completely agree. Thing is, we'll also be stronger next season.

Not necessarily we have to sell first team players, depends how well we recruit I suppose.

We have a great chance of making 4th or 5th and if we don’t, you take 6th and another season of European football.  It’s still progress.

However, I do think we may not get a better opportunity of Champions League football as we do now though. Spurs, United, Newcastle and Chelsea, just haven’t been consistent throughout the season and I can only see them coming back stronger next season.  The time is now. 

We may never get a chance of champions league again. You can't assume next season teams will be at the same levels as this year. We could easily finish 8th next season if all the usual teams have a good year. We've put ourselves in place to possibly get champions league now, despite an injury crisis, and the enhanced income that brings.

If we miss out the summer becomes even more painful with players having to exit to balance thr money to meet the bullshit psr rules.

Europa doesn't help financially to keep the core of the team together.

It's crazy how consistent all of Arsenal, Man City and Liverpool have become. 

That's what spending the most money does for you.

Well he's proved me wrong.

Brilliant!

I think Arsenal can't afford him and the whole chatter before is made up bollocks

They did bid so I think they have the money. Why wouldn't they? They have lots more than we do based on income alone.

Who are we selling Luiz to for £100m??

A team already ahead of us while we gamble on a wonderkid from a different country hoping that his ceiling is even higher?

One in the hand is worth two in the bush

There's no actual proof of this though, we've said we have to sell, every club in the league has to sell, it doesn't mean we have to sell our best players, we have to sell the deadwood and unfortunately because of these stupid rules some more of the kids 

I imagine Luiz will go. Possibly Arsenal. 

Or Ramsey.

How many first team players are we selling to afford this, 2-3?

Exactly he's using the magic money tree..

Can't wait to give Henderson so much stick at Villa Park 

I assumed that would be Southgate in the showers after the game.

Oooh boy 

Why make it so convoluted 

Gonna be St Gilloise

Should be done by midnight at this rate

Red Star play in a weak two horse league with only them and Partizan the only half decent teams, they can quite easily play a few youngsters against most teams without much of an impact performance wise. But Nedeljkovic has also played for them in the Champions League and will supposedly feature quite a bit for Serbia in the Euros this summer, so despite his age seems more than capable with first team football.   

So he's tearing his ACL at the Euros.

Confirmed.

Thank god he is nowhere near villa.

I said in the punditry thread that he is absolutely miles better than Evans was.

It's actually laughable when you see the quality of some of the stuff Tanswell puts out compared to what Evans used to give us.

I wonder if he's still pretending he got promoted

Evans was and is a rocket. 

 Tanswell is miles better.

Oliver Glasner replaces Woy

52 pages. Quite an opinion change about him from the start

Hope he's OK. Seems to be a great guy.

If I'm in the North stand, and I win the ballot do I run across the pitch to get there?

Well yes we don't need to sell if we don't buy anyone.

Maybe that's the better idea ans just use tv income to fill the gaping FFP black hole we have.
