HanoiVillan Posted August 28, 2017 Share Posted August 28, 2017 Townsend for £27m with Gray on the bench is absolutely hilarious, what a shit piece of business. £27m for a guy who probably won't start more than a dozen games this season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VillaChris Posted August 28, 2017 Share Posted August 28, 2017 Townsend has done f all at Palace. Stupid move from Leicester although I assume they'll sell Mahrez once they get him in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

villaglint Posted August 29, 2017 Share Posted August 29, 2017 I'm struggling to believe that Townsend thing is real. If it is might just win the award for craziest transfer of the craziest transfer window so far. Starting to think the Trump effect on the world are pretty wide ranging.

Juventus avg home gates are under 40,000 whearas Liverpool average was 53000 last season. more people globally watch the Premier League. its far better supported. The only thing Juve have got is that they win their league which isn't as competitive as our league on a regular basis and get to the later stages of the European competitions in recent years. I don't think anbody can say an Italian club is bigger than a top english club anymore. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Juventus are biggest club in Italy, liverpool arent even close to being the biggest club in northwest England Your basis is that juventus are only a bigger club because they are more successful on the pitch Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rodders0223 Posted August 29, 2017 Share Posted August 29, 2017 Buy Wimmer for £5m. Don't play him for 2 years.Literally. Sell to Stoke for £18m. Panic time is upon us, and it's going to be more ridiculous and laughable than ever before. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was more on crowds and tv revenue really I was basing my argument. Italy was the top league in Europe but where would you place it now. 4th? I actually would class Juve the bigger and better club right now but the gap is closer than people make out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The ridiculous TV deal is warping football out of shape. English clubs are being handed more money than they are fit to handle and they are wasting it without strategy just because they can. Liverpool is a big rich club, no doubt. Juve is a level or 2 above. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sne Posted August 29, 2017 Share Posted August 29, 2017 Wimmer to Stoke for £18m from Spurs. Awful lot of money that, but for this summer it's still an OK deal I guess? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dr_Pangloss Posted August 29, 2017 Share Posted August 29, 2017 Kevin Wimmer, bought for £5m, makes 15 premier league starts in two seasons, sold for £18m WTF, this definitely needs investigating. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

villa4europe Posted August 29, 2017 Share Posted August 29, 2017 i hope not there have been some really good, high potential, decent figure signings across europe this summer, just hardly any in the prem, far too much emphasis put on understanding the demands of the premier league naby keita 22 moving to liverpool for £50m, they'll be his 4th club, thomas lemar 21 moving to liverpool for £60m+, they'll be his 3rd club, could have saved themselves £100m if they'd have taken the risk on them 2 years ago, we've got to out scout the market rather than just join in Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
