Mantis Posted June 22, 2023 Share Posted June 22, 2023 7 hours ago, GlobalVillan said: If it applies to Man City then it qpplies to Newcastle. I'm shocked actually that nobody seems to realise just what's happened with this Saudi takeover. They will win absolutely everything and become the dominate force in world football. They are that rich and that determined to do it. It may take a couple of years until their first trophy but it'll happen as sure as day. The reason why is that it's no longer as easy to do what Man City did, and even then it took Man City a while to get properly dominant. Newcastle will do well no doubt, but on the contrary I think people are seriously overstating how dominant they'll be. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Barella is very good so happy Newcastle aren't signing him at least. He's a good player, but no Barella. I wouldn't swap Tonali for Kamara or Luiz. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Too much for a player who has never even scored 10 goals in a Premier League season. Watkins must be worth 100 million if Havertz is worth 60. Arsenal signing Chelsea players seems a bad idea to me if they want to build on the 2nd spot last season Edited June 22, 2023 by PaulC Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Genie Posted June 22, 2023 Share Posted June 22, 2023 I don’t see the fuss with Rice at all, I’d genuinely rather have Mcginn. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wainy316 Posted June 22, 2023 Share Posted June 22, 2023 I'd go to Arsenal over Man City. Actually try to 'win' some trophies rather than just collect them by way of just being there. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wainy316 Posted June 22, 2023 Share Posted June 22, 2023 That said, will serve Arsenal right for fannying around. Should've just offered what West Ham wanted rather than bid an amount they knew would be rejected. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
