The College Dropout

He’s been productive for over a season now. Similar G/A per minutes to last season.

He thinks it will help improve performances. Feel good factor etc. 2-8th fairly close. I don’t think any are outstanding sides. We could finish anywhere from 3rd to 7th. If we keep our players fit we’ll end up near the top of that group imo.

City have (likely) 3 CL fixtures and 5 tough games coming up. We’ll see if they are really back by 9th March. Us, Forest, Arsenal, Liverpool and Spurs. Prime City get 11 points minimum. I reckon they only get 7.

wins against Chelsea, Ipswich, West Ham, Leicester. Draws to Brentford, Palace and Everton. Losses and Man U and Villa. In the PL that’s P9 W4, D3, L2. Chelsea might be a turning point but the rest of their wins have been against bottom 5 teams. They crumbled against PSG the other day Stilll vulnerable.

Don’t rate him as highly as most seem too

This will feel like City are back. And playing more directly might help. But moreover - Chelsea have been awful.

James has been injured for much of the last 3 years though. Before that - he was brilliant.

This guy started well but they’ve been poor for some time

Think Minteh and Rutter were opportunistic because of us and Leeds FFP position. Decent fees for both.

Isn’t Nkunku LW

I read it like you’re saying he’s all hype and no substance. He was genuinely a class player who has suffered from massive injuries. Could be done could be on a long road back but he’s not ‘hype’

Lad has barely played for the last 2 years. He might just be finished. But he was a wonderfully talented player.

Sanchez has been awful all season

I think a lot of those are low-risk. At worst they’ll get their money back. Which is why I think there’s good pickups available there this summer or next. They can’t develop all of them

I’ve had Jackson in my FPL team for what seems like months. He started off classic Jackson but in recent weeks his confidence has totally gone. Considered dropping him out Gakpo this week but went TAA instead. Backfired obvs.

A lot of ppl said it was a real coup at the time.

Nah these are shit. I think they’ll get CL but they’ve been vulnerable for months. Could’ve conceded 6 to PSG in 30 minutes. A draw is fine.

I’m expecting them to fall off but I don’t know why. They were the best opposition team I’ve seen at SJP this season

That Gruda lad is another £20m signing. 20 years old. I don’t see how you can develop Minteh, Gruda, JP, Rutter and all the others at the same time.

Yeh so the bulk of the revenue goes to the manufacturer and retailer.

Yeh. Apparently Liverpool get 20% and that’s massively high. Adidas manufacture and distribute it which is the bulk of the cost so why wouldn’t they get the lion share?

Shirt sales mostly go to adidas not us.

I guess I’m beyond that point. Which I obviously agree with. It’s shit. For us.

I meant besides us. The larger structure doesn’t care.

Nobody else wants to spend £100m on a player though.
