The cartel 6 locked in their dominance before any rules changed. Man United rode the Sky TV boom in the 90s, Liverpool's famed history helped them get a "rescue" by FSG in 2010, Arsenal built their power off Wenger and then the Kroenke takeover in 2011, Chelsea had Abramovich arrive in 2003, and City had Abu Dhabi takeover in 2008. Then came UEFA’s FFP in 2011 and the Premier League’s PSR in 2013, tightened again in 2021 right after our takeover. The Newcastle, Villa and Forest takeovers occurred after PSR was created. Chelsea's new ownership has used the historical advantages/headstart gained from 2003 and found every backwards loophole known in football to continue to grow at absurd rates. Be nice if someone in the fucking press would hammer this point every single time. But no, we only get "Free Isak" "Villa and Newcastle and Forest need to know their place" "You're not a big club" and "he only wanted ______"

I can't fathom that he's still digging in after Tuesday. He himself has admitted in some random post-kit interviews that he sits on social media alot, he's lapping all of this up. he's probably lurking here.

Couldn’t the Premier league or the English leagues just basically Vann in and out transfers once the season starts? I.e. if you want to do business with an English club, you need to get it done before the first match of the season? Or is that what you were saying happened? I can’t remember what it was like then.

I tought Lee Ryder + Chronicle decided to highlight the most sensational of statements without context and lifted only the part that could be seen as controversial. I really don't like that. Creates uncessary drama for Eddie and the lads.

someone with pace, helps out Burn or Botman. Age profile doesn’t matter as much to me.

Think I’m totally good with those two here all season long. Dependable lads. Be nice to sign an experienced LB or a younger one? What profile would be ideal?

Have we cleared all of the extra players in our squad?

IMHO the only Isak replacement out there is Samu or Julian Alvarez. Neither are available. That case is closed.

The case is shut as far as I am concerned. As stupid as this sounds my condition to selling him to Liverpool would include them convincing Ekiteke he’s coming here and one is done to them at 150 and the other is done to us at the same price they bought him for. If they have no interest in that I’d tell Hughes himself no deal, ever.

I’d get this done no matter what. If you can have him and Isak in the same team that is absolutely deadly.

he should be questioning playing for a club like Liverpool who seemingly have played a part in this mess that has played out the way it has.

it sounds like that is exactly what happened. But players without release clauses who don’t hand in a formal transfer request with 3 years to go on their deal can’t simply just say they want to leave and assume they will get their wish their on their terms.

I thought Eze was 24 yo. No idea he turned 27 in June.

people still think we only do transfers one at a time which was a wrong statement and not true at all. Convos and discussions happen all the time, it’s up to the selling party to engage, they are at various stages all the time.

He wasn't our starter mate, and he seemed shot for confidence with us. He is their main man?

He's just bloody deadly for Forest, he takes those chances and makes them look easy. Did you see his goals over the weekend? Loose ball poked in with power past the keeper off a corner. Second one he gambled and made a run, Anderson played a perfect ball behind and he rounded the keeper and stuck it in. Confidence is major, Forest are an excellent football side tbh.

You guys should look up the # of strikers who of the right age, who we didn't miss out on signing/just moved to another team, and scored over 15 goals in the top 7 leagues in europe. It's shockingly shit. The below list are some of the names of the players who hit 20 goals in these respective leagues. Want to know why these players cost so much? That's why (fuck you Liverpool). Mohamed Salah Alexander Isak Erling Haaland Kylian Mbappé Robert Lewandowski Ante Budimir Mateo Retegui Mason Greenwood Ousmane Dembélé Sem Steijn Viktor Gyökeres Harry Kane Serhou Guirassy Notables: Wissa 19, Watkins 16, Mateta 14, Strand Larsen 14, Delap 12, JP 10, Jackson 10, Burkadt 18, Ekitke 15, Sesko 13, Woltemede 12, Julian Alvarez 17, Moise Kean 19 Missing names but hopefully you get this picture once you filter it out by age, recent transfers etc.

who is effective thats out there?

Guessand plays CF/Winger so there's argument there that he could play Watkins/Jackson as a CF and Guessand as an attacking winger.

think the deal with Milan is that, 30m euro or something. he'll be away at Afcon too though.

24/25 19 apps out of 34 in league 8 goals, 2 assists Missed end of Nov to mid Jan with Hamstring + Fitness issues 23/24 23 apps out of 34 apps in the league 14 goals, 9 assists Missed Jan to end of March with abductor injury Think the issue is health, and very poor form in calendar year 2025. He's done his cruciate twice too.

only a handful of players are as good as Isak, that's why we don't want him to leave for fucks sake and nobody else is seemingly any good or too expensive. this should be a lesson to kids out there, fucking train on striking - both feet, and movement. stop trying to be the next wide forward with only 1 workable foot.

my son's Bruno 39 came in on the new home kit he was fucking chuffed - surprised him with it. that feeling of giving your little one the new kit and seeing their reaction is fucking fantastic like.

you're cracking me up all day today

was mended, this summer. but the ship had sailed on Traff.
