  1. 2 + 2 = 5 there I'm afraid. Footballers don't tend to take pay cuts so we'll have to subsidise his wages. Also I wouldn't fancy sending him out on loan as he's so bad it might lower his value further.
  2. If you look at the squad we had last season when we finished 5th in the Championship, we've lost Mings, Abraham and let go of 8 players. If we don't spend ~£100m we've no hope. I don't think it's feasible to try to sign 8 players for ~£8m each on average and hope to compete. If we were in the champiomship with the squad we have now we'd finish around 10th - 12th. That's the stark reality.
  3. Great signing for that price if it's true.
  4. Hopefully he won't be starting many games. He was horrendous for Ireland last night against Gibraltar. Made one decent pass in the whole game and even his set piece delivery was generally poor.
  5. He played for 65 minutes and was abysmal. League 1 footballer at best.
  6. Ramadan starts 23 April-23 may next year. Hopefully we wont need him in top shape for that month
  7. I expect he will be our first choice goalkeeper for the first game of next season. You don't give up on a £7.5m keeper that you waited years to sign that quickly.
  8. Yep. I still think GW will win the series thought. They are the better team.
  9. yeah, we need to spend at least £50m and probably closer to £100m to have a chance. A new striker could cost anything around £30m alone.

    They are paying a crazy amount of money for a player with one year left on his deal, if the reported figures are to be believed.
  11. Players go wherever they get the highest wages. All this talk of I want to play CL football or I want to move to a bigger club is code for I want more money.
  12. Well he's not out of contract and he was signed for €8m originally so £8m now would be good business. Dutch News - Used Google Translate
  13. There's a bizarre obsession with re-signing ex Villa players on here for some weird reason. I wouldn't have any of them back.
  14. The Gold W on it's own would look okay but we will get the full big sponsor that Wolves had last year.

    Very interesting pricing. £9 a month is a good price point and more interestingly there's a "Free" option coming next year. Google doing the right things so far.
  16. I'd be shocked if we got that much for him. Most likely we'll either end up having to pay him off or let his contract run down. Very few championship clubs could afford his wages.
  17. That's the first thing I thought of too. Like for like.
  18. I'd say it will all blow over. We technically didn't break any rules and if we get relegated we will have more parachute payments to balance the books.
  19. And even in the interview he says he knew he was going to be released anyway. Although to be fair to him it's silly season so the media are quick to create a headline out of nothing.
  20. Maybe they wanted to let him know face to face but he was gone on holidays and had his phone off. Bizarre thing to complain about, I was away on holidays and uncontactable and when I came back I found out I was on the list of 8 players the club was releasing.
  21. We just need to get our recruitment right. We need to sign a lot of players this summer, if we get good ones we'll stay up, if we buy bad players we'll get relegated.
  22. Yes I think so according to this https://www.premierleague.com/news/912537
  23. Won't be good enough for the premier league, if we could get rid of him it would be great.
  24. This is the worst game of football I have ever seen. Abysmal.
