Its a absolute mess I don't think they've got much to spend have they? And consequently I agree, I think unless they find some miracles from somewhere I'll have them as amongst the favourites to go down at the start of the season.

They veey much look the side we were before the year we went down. All the signs are pointing the same for them Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BleedClaretAndBlue Posted May 15, 2022 Share Posted May 15, 2022 They’re lucky to get away without a point deduction which definitely would have sent them down 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They'll just try to move on likes of Calvert Lewin and Keane. With way prices are inflated they'll probably get 50m + for those two. Big problem is if they lose Richarlison though as he has stepped up for them in last two months. That's a lot of their attack output gone. As ever always have to hold fire until see how the three promoted teams do. Fulham and Bournemouth could both barely win a game before xmas and Luton or Huddersfield coming up would feel like a cert to go down. Let's not forget two years back West Ham were only just staying up not that I expect Everton to hit those heights anytime soon but things can change quickly in football if you can make decent signings. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All fair points, though I'm not sure they can make many decent signings. Calvert-Lewin might be wanted by West Ham, but who's going to be interested in Keane? And as you say, Richarlison for them is like Benteke was for us, you might get a decent pile for him but then you've got to replace a huge amount of goals and assists. I definitely can imagine them being saved by three bad promoted teams though. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VillaJ100 Posted May 15, 2022 Share Posted May 15, 2022 I remember start of this season everyone was tipping palace as they lost Roy and had about 10 first team players in contract with little money. They had a great season 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VillaChris Posted May 15, 2022 Share Posted May 15, 2022 Might have a bet on Pontus Jansson scoring the winner next weekend, that would be pretty amusing if he scores to send Leeds down. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Probably someone like Fulham might want him aswell for his "experience." In fairness Moyes took Craig Dawson when he was hated by Watford fans after their relegation and made him integral part of their top 6/7 backline so perhaps he sees Keane as similar but he's had a terrible season so that would be a big gamble. Also coming up to 30 now so feels odd signing for West Ham to make with Ogbonna back next season. Edited May 15, 2022 by VillaChris 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Imagine my surprise when I checked and saw Tim Ream had started every game this season! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PaulC Posted May 15, 2022 Share Posted May 15, 2022 I still think it will be Leeds as i think they will loose at Brentford and would expect burnley to pick up at least a point against us and Newcastle 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wainy316 Posted May 20, 2022 Share Posted May 20, 2022 After being reminded first hand of just how horrible Burnley are I think I’m actually leaning a bit towards wanting them to go now. It’s win/win either way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MellbergsBeard Posted May 20, 2022 Share Posted May 20, 2022 I think it’s better if Leeds go down, everyone knows where they stand with Burnley, no great ambition in the club. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Admittedly it all just goes to show what a sham FFP was anyway, and clubs like us that almost bankrupted themselves over it would have been much better off just ignoring the rules entirely.
