Expect this central midfielder to go for 100 million to the Prem within two years. https://www.transfermarkt.com/enzo-fernandez/profil/spieler/648195 Emi Martinez singled him out with Alvarez last year as a potential future superstar we should try to sign. I agree he will go for mega bucks in a year or two. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
burchy Posted September 20, 2022 Share Posted September 20, 2022 I like the lion of Orkan Kokcu but rumours are West Ham are interested. Who’s that guy at Napoli that has a crazy spelt name, he’d be a decent LW option, is it Karaskhela? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Having never heard of him until about 2 minutes ago when I clicked on this thread, and after watching about 45 seconds of that video, if we don't sign him I want NSWE to sell the club. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AshVilla Posted September 21, 2022 Share Posted September 21, 2022 Don't give Gerrard any more money while he's here. We should just limp through to the summer and make wholesale changes then. This season is a right off. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AntrimBlack Posted September 21, 2022 Share Posted September 21, 2022 I cannot see players wanting to join Gerrard's `project' now that they can see that it is all talk. So if he is still here you can forget about the big names or the promising youngsters. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

villa4europe Posted September 21, 2022 Share Posted September 21, 2022 that's the calculation for the overspend, they calculate the value of the players we've bought to be £428m but we paid £577m for them, means we are 2nd worst and with the highest % difference whilst also buying the most players you will probably be able to drive a bus through that but its still interesting, for example in the last 10 years 9 clubs have spent more than us on less players which leans towards the "should be better given the money we've spent" argument not having that much weight to it we're trying to catch 4 clubs who have spent over a billion with 2 more of them going over that number in the next year, 3 of them have spent double what we have, catching these teams is not going to be about spending money alone Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sne Posted September 26, 2022 Share Posted September 26, 2022 Links to bit part Rangers player Glenn Kamara again. Could be ours for as little as £10m apparently which does seem a lot considering he can barely get into the Rangers team this season. Yet another reason I hope Gerrard is not here come January so we don't have to see the papers make up nonsense like this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
