I hope we don't have the full story because our strategy appears lazy and aimless like the last summer window.

Of course we can't. How many people can they pay that to though?

Liverpool’s top two wages are £400,000 and £350,000 - we still can’t compete with that.

If eddie has his heart set on him then he's worth what we decide to pay for him. To me he is basically a pace merchant but the manager must think with him still been quite young there's plenty to improve and work on.

The only disappointed part About this is "Saudi tax" hasn't been mentioned

Ireola is a top manager though. Keep hold him and they'll be absolutely fine.

Which I could understand given how successful they were on the pitch. This current lot, however...

Kompany seems to hate Palhinha. What a waste of 50 mil

Apologies. I like how the hair is the line I can’t cross

More fucking American franchise owners in Italy. Just as many as in the PL now.

I couldn't help but hear that in Bobby Hill's voice

That’s just mean.

Agreed although that looks very good in hindsight at the time Tonali was exciting and the others were questionable - eg why buy Tino when trippier was one of the best in Europe previous season, Hall had only played a few games and was expensive, Barnes wasn’t as sexy as Paqueta or Maddison etc

Summer 2022 also. Isak, Pope, Targett (meh) and Botman. We have signed some top, top players in the Howe era.

What for?

He’s basically the Steve Parish of the league. Same hair and all.

No player is ever untouchable at Atalanta. They are ultimately a small club (although without doubt the best run club in Italy with the best academy) and their model is that they do sell. They generally sell on their terms though as they don't have any financial issues. I think with Scalvini they would rather keep him and hope he develops further rather than sell at a perceived dip in value.

I'd whack Summer 2023 in too with Tonali, Tino, Hall, Barnes and Minteh

OK, recent memory, I wasn’t considering the 90s ones

Best transfer windows in memory 1995/96 Ginola Hislop Ferdinand Barton (Asprilla Batty) 1996/97 for Shearer alone 2001/02 Bellamy and Robert were game changers 2015/16 Wijnaldum Thauvin Mbemba Mitrovic were four of the best young players in Europe 2021/22 Jan Trippier Burn Targett Bruno Wood

Wow humiliating for Boca

Definitely agree on a limit on squad sizes of players owned by the club over the age of 21 - I have said this for years. A limit on transfers per year would also make sense. Unfortunately with multi club ownership they're basically already ahead of the game on any of these rules being brought in. It is a shambles though. These clubs have got themselves into position of power with huge spending headroom through previous baked in growth and revenue from pre-PSR days. It then gives them freedom to sign numerous players at the right age/price they don't need or even plan on playing, just because they're a good investment, to then be punted on for a profit. And accumulating so many players in a market where everybody is after the same profile means they actually control supply.

“Let me be clear, you are not getting Scalvini” did I do it right? It worked that last time

He's trying to justify it mate
