Sels playing out of his skin.
-
Salah’s usually poor from Feb onwards for some reason.
-
Was just going to say. His touch has been awful.
-
Great games on TV.
-
Costs are spread over contract lengths and wages are annual. So Tonali and Barnes cost us the same this season as they did last season.
-
City looked open all game. I think they will end up 65-72 points unless they strengthen in the window.
-
The second goal? Powerful header. Was behind him in a flash.
-
Wheels coming off at Chelsea.
-
Been a basketball game this all game. City have no control. They need to play like us at points. Just go super defensive. They can’t control games with the ball anymore.
-
Brentford score so many goals.

Most other teams signed promising youngsters. We signed someone that would never come close to justifying the fee. Ever. Not even half. -
That’s not how it works
-
Don't like CBs that can't win headers. Unless a baller like Schar and he wins enough in the air.
-
Would take £10m for sure. In the summer.
-
Why? We probably wouldn't replace him now. He's a valued member of the squad, he's just too expensive to sit on the bench. Sell him in the summer. If we qualify for CL/Europa and find new revenue streams, he's suddenly starting 20 games a season.
-
Because that's not how it works. The costs carry. It's not a 1 season issue. We've not spent much this season and if we don't sell well or suddenly get massive revenue, we'll not buy much next season either.
-
Aye. Good transfer. But they need a LW or ST more.
-
Rice is tops.
-
Amanda was a great voice. She's a suit but seemed authentic in energy. The other suits feel like suits.

PIF club al-Hilal bid £70m for Nunez
-
They overspent and overindulged Howe. BUT if Tonali doesn’t get suspended or Botman doesn’t do his ACL - just one more rub of the green we probably qualify for Europe - with good luck we get into Europa League. Then it’s a gamble that paid off. And they did all of that before they knew PL would be handing out points deductions.
-
What makes you certain of this? Why do you think we haven't we offered him that already?
-
Just what i've read in reports. I think there were some discussions earlier in the summer/spring of 24 but reports were the club were ok with how things are. They spoke to Isak around the time Gordon's contract was being negotiated. As Isak has a long time left on his contract. Gordon signed and talks with Isak haven't been reported as being advanced or seen as a priority. My assumption is - if the club were certain Isak was at the centre of the project over the next few years, it would be a priority and we would've got it signed around the time the Gordon deal was signed. Again, I assume the club want to wait and see on multiple fronts - safe in the knowledge we could get a great fee for Isak.
-
We'll have to pay him close to the going rate. That's likely to be in a new stratosphere for us let's say 200-275k. If we aren't willing to get close, bling bling boy or comfy chill guy - he'll want off. It is what it is. I just wish this team could land a Cup and give the CL another go. It's possible.

Yeh fairs. It’s all bad though. Was it Skipp that went for £20m in the summer? No FFP funny business. We don’t get those types of fees.
