Consider wages as well. All 3 of ours will be earning over 6 mill a year. And we have taken a v v good player on a free 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s definitely a squad game now. The annual champions have £100m Jack Grealish on the bench and pay him over £300K a week to sit there. But then that’s a different story.

I pay little attention to Man City, but my impression was of him starting more often than not. I might be wrong though! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Very good business so far and still a few weeks left to add more wherever nessecary. Hopefully we will have offloaded a few more fringe players too by the end of the window. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We absolutely didn't need to go crazy. Our points per game under Emery was excellent. The squad chemistry was good. We just needed a few signings to mix in with what we're already doing. We didn't need to change half the first team and stutter as we're trying to bed everyone in. I'd argue we've spent our money very, very well. Tielemans was on a free. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Their squad rotation is nuts, they've effectively got grealish, mahrez and foden starting 30 something games each and Alvarez in the 20s I think When you throw in to consideration they played about 60 games last year its a huge part of why they did the treble, come the end of this season the likes of grealish, Dias, gvardiol etc will have played less games than saka, rice etc despite city playing more games overall 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Look at what Brighton want for Calceido, who is nowhere near as good. £40 million isn't enough for Ward-Prowse apparently. It's what McTominay and Fred are valued at. Our current squad is worth a fortune in today's market. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Monkeypuzzle Posted August 6, 2023 Share Posted August 6, 2023 That's not our problem thankfully. We seem to have gotten our recent targets at great prices compared to many clubs, for players in their prime. I'd rather spend £35-£45 million on Diaby, knowing what he has already achieved, than £72 million on a young striker who has only played about 68 senior games and is nowhere near the finished article. Right now Man UFC's main striker isn't as good as Archer! He may well become a tour de force in a few years, but then again he might not. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
