Who do we play next ?

Y'all are going to bore your way to a final yet again.  

Unfortunately 

The speed of our play is shocking.

Not many better partnerships than Tomori and Botman, with the added bonus Tomori is comfortable playing left side with Schar, until Botman is back.

Yeah but they are under contract and on approximately £15-20kpw and £45-50kpw you’d imagine. West Ham would want £65-70m as he’s got 6-7yrs on his contract? (Didn’t he recently sign something silly like a 8yr contract?) Then to make him move he’d want tier 1 wages of us at £170kpw. £65m+5x52x£100kpw=£101m more than keeping current two players and that’s before you get the ripple effect in squad of other players then wanting a pay rise.

 

There’s better out there for cheaper that fit our pay structure surely.

Absolutely, and I would look for cheaper alternatives.

No they didn’t. I certainly didn’t think so either.

 

The time to of bought Bowen was when he was waiting at Ferryhill services for our call and we changed our mind allowing him to go to West Ham.

 

The improvement he’d give us RW wouldn’t be big enough to justify the figures now.

The improvement he would give us on RW would be huge, he’s a million times better than Miggy and Murphy. I get the reservations about spending that much on him though.

‘Jonathan Pearce and Danny Murphy’

 

Keown is on the French game, not sure who’s worse tbh.

I'd absolutely love Adeyemi for our right hand side 

 

Wonder if Dortmund would be tempted by a decent bid

Doesn’t seem to have much end product. 

Isn’t Summerville more a left wing ?

I’d take Bowen not that interested in the other two.

The athletic have literally reposted that exact same story for the last 6 weeks now.

I would rather go for Kudus than Bowen.

85 million release clause so we can rule that out.

So are we thinking if no one leaves by Sunday then we will face a points deduction next season ?

Just means every single transfer involving any PL club needs to be passed off. Forget related party stuff, these clubs have no connection at any level, completely different owners etc. Who decides the value of the players? Who decides it's £20m? What if one club really wants him and is willing to pay £25m to get him? Are they going to be blocked? 

 

Whole thing is utter bollocks and looking doomed imo. It's not sustainable as it is, the (technically legal) loopholes and workarounds are getting more and more ridiculous and it'll only get worse. That's without knowing the result of the legal actions that the PL are getting involved in either. We're seeing the fag-end of this whole thing imo

Not sure tbh, as someone else said although the rules are absolutely ridiculous, the majority of clubs continue to vote in favour of them

When was the Man City case against the prem over fair market value happening ?

Just now, Danh1 said:

True. It was miserable.

 

Sky’s big deadline day show where they wheel out Jim White will be a thing of the past. 

Every cloud then.

Surely it’s going to get to a point where nothing remotely interesting happens in the transfer markets anymore? Theyre destroying their own product to keep the six cunt clubs happy 

 

 

That already began in January tbh.

Just now, Shearergol said:

We’re not getting £40m for him man 

Be lucky to get half of that tbh.

I wouldn't be surprised if this is all smoke and mirrors by management to see if they can coax some truly absurd bid out of Dortmund.... Hard to know with all the PSR rumors and whatnot. Happy to eat crow if he's indeed out to France

Dortmund love buying young players, but they never pay big money for them do they ?

If true thats unbelievable business.

Be amazed if it is true, Lyon don’t have a pot to piss in unless something has dramatically changed.

We could always try and fight against them.

Aren’t Lyon broke ?

Best scenario is we buy DCL for 37m and sell them Minteh for 30m.

 

He has one season in the PL. We have a buy back clause of 35m and buy him back the next season. 

 

Everyone is a winner. 

I’d give up if we paid that for him 

Fuck knows what the set piece coach has been doing this week with Scotland. If the tactic is don’t beat the first man then they are smashing it.

Worst game of the tournament so far this Scotland game.
