Financial Fair Play / Profit & Sustainability

I’ve previously mentioned they banned AC Milan for less. -
I think Mbeumo is a Jota, Diaz, Gakpo level signing rather than a Mane, Salah level signing. They need an attacker that level up to what they already have. They need to be in the market for the next Olise, Doue.

Aye could happen. They still can.

Financial Fair Play / Profit & Sustainability

We also shouldn’t assume what happens to Chelsea and PSG will be afforded to us. -
Imo if we qualify for the CL we’ll need GK RB (assuming Trippier leaves) CB CM CM (assuming a CM option leaves) RW ST (assuming Wilson leaves) And replacements if anyone else leaves. I don’t think we’ll get all of these. Adding a backup CB is fine to leave off the shopping list. New CB, Schar, Burn, Botman, Lascelles is fine
-
Yeh you need 5 if you are to play in Europe and compete deep. We have a such a thin squad.
-
Not reading much into it. We’ll sign at least 1 CB this summer. We may use that extension to allow us to sell Lascelles to Saudi for £5m or whatever. Or he’s backup.
-
Just takes away that bit of hope. These are another level. Even at 2-1, it would’ve taken tremendous luck for Villa to win the tie.
-
Villa been chasing shadows all game. Wonderful goal. Fuck off Villa.
-
Not the league. The individual team. Pep’s playing 4 CBs at times. Needs a 6ft midfielder. Got a 6’4 striker. He’s lost his own recipe.
-
@STM the purpose of the Jan window was to give them a chance of qualifying for the CL again while going deep in the competition. If they qualify for the CL it’s a success. They have a chance now, without that business they wouldn’t.
-
Did the premier league make Pep boring? This PSG is more fun to watch than pretty much every Man City side he’s built.
-
His a good player.
-
NO hating Rio enjoying football.
-
It’s a tough night for Barcola lad on the bench. Fancy battling out with Jacob instead?
-
Yeh Doue is the most excepting prospect I’ve seen since Neymar or Messi
-
Nah would be brilliant for the likes of us. In terms of what is possible. Not had a non mega club CL winner since Porto.
-
And he took it off a Basketballer
-
This boy is special.
-
Villa 1 up.
-
Aye 2 year contract worst outcome. They’ll sell him to Saudi for £50m next summmer.
-
Thats the job of whoever is in charge of loans. Minteh went out on loan at a pretty high level, stepping up in levels not stepping down like Miley would be and quadrupled his value. If we qualify for CL we need much better squad quality depth. Those 3 are similar in levels/output. Miley’s levels below the big 3.

The Europeometer™ (2024/25) - NUFC Qualify for Champions League
The College Dropout replied to Rich's topic in Football
Nah let Chelsea get the final of their comp. Maybe even win it. -
If he’s as good as we think he is. He would start for any Championship side.
-
I would prefer he is loaned out and we get in a CM or two. He needs regular football we need a player close to the standard of Joelinton. If we only get Europa. He would get those Europa League games so he should stay. If we get CL we need to use the money to improve our quality in depth. 1 perm. 1 loan signing.
