Jas10 Posted January 19, 2023 Share Posted January 19, 2023 I’m excited… we’re beginning to properly refresh and revamp this squad and hopefully the manager gets to build it in his own image. A guy who’s had so much success and walks the walk just as well as talking the talk. We haven’t achieved much at all with many of these players, it’s high time we improved and started making some actual progress and having some success. After Stevenage, many people were shouting that we should “rip it all up” again… so… why not let Emery rebuild us in the way he sees fit? Here’s to the future… Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

duke313 Posted January 19, 2023 Share Posted January 19, 2023 The timing of this is bad, completely disrupts out preparation for Southampton. We now only have Watkins (who came off injured in last match) and Bailey (who's not a striker) along with any youth players Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jas10 Posted January 19, 2023 Share Posted January 19, 2023 (edited) Summed up well: We certainly need some ruthlessness, we need to build a much better team and squad. Moving on players that don’t fit and shifting massive wages will only help. Let’s bring in genuine quality that can impact and elevate us. Let’s rid ourselves of the sentimentality and be “properly ambitious”. Some of the same old players aren’t going to give us “that much” more. Sell who isn’t up to standard and bring in better. GO ON UNAI! Edited January 19, 2023 by Jas10 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jareth Posted January 19, 2023 Share Posted January 19, 2023 What chance we've wrapped up Ings before breakfast in order to announce a new signing after lunch? That would be noice. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CVByrne Posted January 19, 2023 Share Posted January 19, 2023 The positive of the Ings sale is it's nearly certain we've another forward lined up. There's no way we move Ings and Archer out and only bring in a kid who's just turned 19 and who is at an international tournament for another month. When the entire window has been about bringing on attacking reinforcements. So a forward and a winger is what I'm expecting this month. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I feel like I'm the only one getting frustrated by this. I think maybe you're putting too much importance on this, looking at the below, in the last 10 years the only club to turn a profit in transfer business is Brentford, and in the last 5 years nobody has. The TV money sucks up the losses for most of these clubs, and the successful clubs make money in other areas. It would be lovely to be a perfectly run club who are both successful and turn a transfer profit, but in truth, they don't really exist. https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/premier-league/fuenfjahresvergleich/wettbewerb/GB1 TRANSFER ACTIVITY OF THE LAST 5 YEARS Club 22/23 21/22 20/21 19/20 18/19 Total €-1,668.05m €-838.82m €-861.70m €-715.58m €-980.78m €-5,064.93m Arsenal FC €-108.26m €-136.00m €-66.85m €-107.15m €-71.05m €-489.31m Aston Villa €-58.14m €-2.82m €-98.58m €-156.50m €-2.95m €-318.99m AFC Bournemouth €-26.90m €14.26m €93.55m €-20.29m €-71.40m €-10.78m Brentford FC €-47.90m €-35.70m €54.70m €-390k €28.40m €-890k Brighton & Hove Albion €62.17m €3.50m €-7.90m €-53.24m €-73.50m €-68.97m Chelsea FC €-368.96m €6.60m €-190.05m €112.27m €-125.55m €-565.69m Crystal Palace €-29.15m €-85.62m €-2.40m €47.78m €-11.50m €-80.89m Everton FC €-20.20m €6.50m €-68.95m €-33.20m €-71.15m €-187.00m Fulham FC €-40.50m €-16.50m €-37.25m €-8.50m €-111.15m €-213.90m Leeds United €-31.34m €-58.90m €-127.80m €30.11m €-4.10m €-192.03m Leicester City €64.40m €-63.60m €-5.63m €-15.80m €-18.80m €-39.43m Liverpool FC €-56.60m €-57.45m €-66.85m €34.10m €-140.88m €-287.68m Manchester City €20.40m €-45.10m €-109.40m €-88.52m €-20.99m €-243.61m Manchester United €-227.07m €-111.30m €-64.30m €-153.62m €-52.15m €-608.44m Newcastle United €-134.05m €-130.50m €-38.73m €-37.26m €-8.70m €-349.24m Nottingham Forest €-174.95m €-6.12m €610k €9.75m €-17.93m €-188.63m Southampton FC €-100.85m €17.27m €-11.00m €-34.20m €-36.15m €-164.93m Tottenham Hotspur €-131.15m €-61.28m €-97.20m €-84.00m €5.35m €-368.28m West Ham United €-164.20m €-70.27m €-9.29m €-64.32m €-87.14m €-395.21m Wolverhampton Wanderers €-94.80m €-5.80m €-8.39m €-92.60m €-89.45m €-291.04m TRANSFER ACTIVITY OF THE LAST 10 YEARS (VALUE IN MILLIONS) Club 22/23 21/22 20/21 19/20 18/19 17/18 16/17 15/16 14/15 13/14 Total -1668.05 -838.82 -861.70 -715.58 -980.78 -679.99 -640.83 -534.73 -480.92 -374.87 -7776.27 -108.26 -136.00 -66.85 -107.15 -71.05 9.15 -102.65 -24.00 -91.18 -37.10 -735.09 -58.14 -2.82 -98.58 -156.50 -2.95 15.03 -39.70 -1.85 -12.14 -11.74 -369.39 -26.90 14.26 93.55 -20.29 -71.40 -34.30 -17.00 -54.46 -1.12 -4.06 -121.71 -47.90 -35.70 54.70 -0.39 28.40 3.85 9.25 15.12 -1.80 -0.31 25.21 62.17 3.50 -7.90 -53.24 -73.50 -66.10 -8.75 -13.47 9.42 3.20 -144.68 -368.96 6.60 -190.05 112.27 -125.55 -65.90 -23.90 -9.01 5.11 -52.42 -711.81 -29.15 -85.62 -2.40 47.78 -11.50 -45.95 -51.00 -23.40 -28.35 -33.00 -262.58 -20.20 6.50 -68.95 -33.20 -71.15 -76.82 -25.20 -37.90 -38.26 14.30 -350.88 -40.50 -16.50 -37.25 -8.50 -111.15 -1.97 -1.77 0.86 0.47 -25.15 -241.47 -31.34 -58.90 -127.80 30.11 -4.10 -10.93 -1.00 -1.46 3.72 -2.27 -203.97 64.40 -63.60 -5.63 -15.80 -18.80 -33.75 -26.05 -40.45 -22.86 0.65 -161.88 -56.60 -57.45 -66.85 34.10 -140.88 10.85 5.48 -35.95 -52.16 -25.60 -385.06 20.40 -45.10 -109.40 -88.52 -20.99 -226.15 -180.90 -141.03 -72.50 -104.20 -968.39 -227.07 -111.30 -64.30 -153.62 -52.15 -152.90 -137.75 -55.33 -148.65 -75.33 -1178.40 -134.05 -130.50 -38.73 -37.26 -8.70 -25.28 36.63 -102.28 -21.15 22.07 -439.25 -174.95 -6.12 0.61 9.75 -17.93 9.85 14.14 9.50 -0.20 -5.15 -160.50 -100.85 17.27 -11.00 -34.20 -36.15 37.10 16.15 -7.40 27.83 -35.40 -126.65 -131.15 -61.28 -97.20 -84.00 5.35 -19.70 -31.20 16.25 -4.33 15.85 -391.41 -164.20 -70.27 -9.29 -64.32 -87.14 12.22 -42.50 -34.19 -30.75 -23.47 -513.89 -94.80 -5.80 -8.39 -92.60 -89.45 -18.29 -33.11 5.73 -2.02 4.26 -334.47 Could we do better?
