Emery in the day, Paella at Pau Torres's at night. We have it all. Minus 3 in training on Monday and 7 degrees sideways rain the rest of the week. I know right? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Philosopher Posted December 13, 2023 Share Posted December 13, 2023 What do people think of Oscar Gloukh of RB Salzburg, who we have been linked to? I remember him being very impressive in the u20 euros a couple of years ago. Not sure what Swaris would make of us signing an Israeli though!

Makes zero sense I think it’s currently safe to say that we are in a good place football and business wise, so we can be relaxed about any decision made by the major decision makers at our club, which fortunately doesn’t include ourselves. But does include Monchi, Unai and our switched on owners. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Makes zero sense Because sometimes it’s just about being able to attract the quality of the player and you’re happy to pay market rate or even above market rate. Not every deal can be a free or a bargain. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Makes zero sense Because a lot of the time they use this leverage to get lower release clauses. Nico Williams one is 40-50 million where it was before. Frimpong probably had like 3 more years left on his deal Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Makes zero sense To improve us we have to shop in Harrods now not in the bargain basement of Poundland. You get what you pay for generally.
