I would provide a reference, but I honestly can't remember where I read it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Very few clubs can afford that. Last year's new TV deal means the Premier League can afford it. They could almost afford it on the previous deal, but this one blew it out of the water. They'd just better hope they've a watertight relegation clause in there Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr_Pangloss Posted May 24, 2017 Share Posted May 24, 2017 It's a lot of money for someone who is 35 soon. I guess the aim of the game for them is still survival, so if his goals keep them up then he has basically paid for himself. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If the 65k per week and 6 million signing bonus is to believed that still works out at about £105,000 p/w spread across the 3 year deal Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rosenthal Posted June 16, 2017 Share Posted June 16, 2017 Not that worried about the seedings, Champions League should be about facing the very best. Bring us a group with Bayern, Barcelona and Roma 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In many ways it might be better to face someone you have to be at your very best against, rather than get a team that you start speculating whether you can rotate and play half arsed against.

VillaChris Posted June 17, 2017 Share Posted June 17, 2017 Maybe but you normally need 10 points to get through and you'd get little from those away games so you'd need to win at least 2 of the home games to have a chance of going through. Much better to get a Leicester style group and then meet the better teams from the quarter final stage. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PaulC Posted June 17, 2017 Share Posted June 17, 2017 Yes I agree Chris. At the end of the day you are judged by how far you get in the competition not by who you meet in the goups. Leicester successful campaign, Spurs shocking failure, yet Spurs are by far the better team. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zatman Posted July 26, 2017 Share Posted July 26, 2017 I think its scary they are the top team I most respect at the moment and be happy if won title race 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PaulC Posted July 26, 2017 Share Posted July 26, 2017 Lost tonight. I honestly think they will struggle this season. Obviously playing at Wembley is a factor but also other teams have strengthened. If they perform like they did in the Champions league last season I cant see any reason why anybody would like them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
