Mat Kendrick's Dentist Posted September 6, 2020 Share Posted September 6, 2020 12 minutes ago, rayk said: It’s an interesting question. What is better for Ramsey.....40 games in the Championship or sitting on the bench instead of Lansbury. I’m torn between the two tbh. I mean I’d prefer to have Ramsey on the bench over Lansbury as he has goals in his locker..... but getting another 40 games in the Champs maybe the best for his development. Ideally, we'd have a midfield of Douglas Luiz, McGinn and Jack/new signing, with Hourihane to bring off the bench instead of Lansbury, and Ramsey getting regular game time in the Championship Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And it's quite simple isn't it, FFP lets you spend X times the income you had over the last years, if you have been in the PL the last years with the massively larger TV-money income then you can spend more. Regarding Leeds and Rodrigo, let's see what their total outlay will be, I doubt it will be more than what we spent last summer. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The worry is he goes out on loan and sits on a championship bench instead. Just make it a clause of the loan that he starts a minimum Number of games.

So you have to try and survive on a shoestring for 3 years before you can even think about trying to compete! And also more or less forget about ever being able to compete with the biggest teams... Instead of FFP to try to tackle the problem with countries with unlimited resources to buy football clubs, it should in my opinion be forbidden for countries to own football clubs, directly or indirectly. Without the Abu Dhabi, Qatar or China money I think the market would be able to function quite well. I think it's perverse that countries are allowed to own football clubs.

Besides, I’m sure we’d only loan him out if we got guarantees he’d play. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Finishing 17th for the next 2 seasons will be a great success. Then we can start to push on and compete for wages. This is going to be a slow ride guys.

I found that annoying too. Either close that tab (or go to a non-notification page like one of the indexes).

rayk Posted September 6, 2020 Share Posted September 6, 2020 (edited) Does anyone else feel that the longer we don’t sign the players we still need (ST, Winger, GK....maybe CB) the more it has to be that we will make sure we sign players like Edoaurd, Benrahma, Watkins and Romero? i mean not to get 2-3 of those players over the line before the end of the window would be a massive feck up....not least because we’ll have missed out on players like Wilson.

Each year we do we can get 1/3 better! (Massive simplification). Until then, Burnley, Brighton etc can outspend us on wages every time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
