Barkley was a 2-year deal with Villa have an option for a 3rd. Villa have Onana, Kamara, McGinn, Tielemans at CM. With Europa League football, they probably don't need him and could use the FFP saving on his wages. Jorginho was initially signed on an 18-month contract. - Aggresively reduce age of squad - Requalify for CL - Not run into PSR issues next June I don't think all 3 is possible personally.

Here is one to fill the post-season void that I saw elsewhere. The challenge is to build the best quality NUFC squad using past and present players, allocated to squad numbers 1-25. Rules: - the players allocated to each squad number must have worn that squad number for NUFC - the players allocated is only as good as they were when they played with that squad number - you can leave one squad number blank to pick a wildcard squad number e.g 30 instead of 22. - you can also mark any player as U21 if they played for us aged 21 or younger, in return you get another wildcard 26+ number - an under 21 player must have had that number at that age and is graded accordingly at that age - you can have as many U21 wildcards as you want but be careful of being down scored for over saturation of the squad. - I will score you efforts and pick a winner. good luck!

I think any striker we get knows they will be on the bench. However with CL and cup games. He will definitely start a game a week. I dont see Isak starting all games in a 9 game 21 day stretch. Will say the Same with the CM.

we need to hold onto to him, City still circling around, they want a top RB who is homegrown and not many that makes the cut.

more worry if they pay inflated prices for signing players from or rivals who are happy to let those go. crazy that they paid big sums for Henderson, Fabinho when they wanted to offload them and wouldnt have found buyers for them at those prices and Saudi league came for a rescue. at the very least they should put in a bid for Targett or Dubravka for 25m.

Callum Wilson surely.

Last I heard, the club is looking to aggressively reduce the team's average age. Unless that was a Mitchell's goal. Edit -reckon I got the wrong thread...

Is that her son?

Okay, so if the money's there. The thing with these players is we're getting them as backups, probably on three-year deals. If the season bombs or they get hurt (like Barkley at Villa), it's a waste and we're stuck with them, meaning loans and paying half their wages. We should skip these deals right now, money's tight. Remember, we got Trippier and BDB as starters. Older players are fine if they're upgrades for the first 11, not backups. It'll end badly – we won't be able to shift them, and they'll just run down their contracts.

Yeah it's white shorts/green socks.

You know what, I don’t know. I’ve only seen the shirt.

I don’t think JP, Ederson, RW, RCB is feasible. If it is - great. I also don’t think it works from a squad perspective. I think one of the striker or CM needs to be someone ok with sitting on the bench. Having all first teamers would be great and intent to go for it. But don’t think it works.

Rub what into them?

Absolutely nowt wrong with signing an older player if the finances work. In fact if you can get the odd bargain who can help with the squad effort, it will free up money for other areas and long term investments. I wanted Norgaard from Brentford because he would have been out of contract for this reason.

Agreed. Sell them both and get Ederson in along with JP makes sense, but if we are unable to move one or both, then another CM is a luxury we cant afford.

I quite like it

Villa want Barkley gone, by the way. I wonder who will help them there? I wonder who buys him at his wages of 3 million a year. Makes zero sense. Welbeck's at Brighton, supposedly on £60k a week. I'd rather get a high-potential player for that than a temporary fix. Doesn't make sense at this point in our project. Barkley and Welbeck because of their age are bad calls financially.

Aye, seems like an oversight haha. Work in progress I'm guessing. For comparison, this is a Spurs OSC: https://www.tottenhamhotspur.com/fans/supporters-clubs/join-a-club/toronto-spurs/

That's why we renewed our Members+ Sets us apart from the riffraff #oneballotwinregardless

Can't wait for us to smash the mackems in that! Rub it into them!

I think £37 is within a pretty standard price point compared with other football clubs, but the Mags+ is way too steep imo.

Yeah I'm assumed we sell on of them at least. Personally I would move them both out if possible, but I know we'd be talking about a lot of moves in and out.
