Yeah, top 7 is the more realistic target assuming no new outfield players of note. Alternatively we bin off the domestic cups.

We could potentially be playing Villa with almost the exact same team as we did in the 2023 season opener Pope Tripps Botman Scharr Burn Murphy Tonali Bruno Joe Gordon Isak

I quite like it

FIFA will surely want to bin off the smaller clubs, and invite more prestige names for 2029. Or maybe the crowds will improve if held in a footballing nation?

The Chronicle is at the point now where you could probably just set off ChatGPT to scan local Facebook groups or re-write old content. The quality is so dire already anyway.

Who's this fucker? It seems to be gaining traction, and they sound convinced on the City forum it's on. If they offer £150,000+ per week and an excellent chance of a major trophy (that's what spending £400m in a single year can get you), suppose there's not much we can if he's keen.

Probably not entirely unrelated to the corrupt Infantino giving Saudi the World Cup.

My possibly unpopular opinion is that we put second string/kids out in the FA Cup, any maybe even the League Cup. Two or three squad additions won't be enough to manage the workload without risking another injury crisis and dropping back down to 7-8th in the league.

When our leading player, Bellingham, has grown to be an absolute c*nt, it doesn't make it any easier to get on board with England. He's like a footballing Verstappen.

If the current ground location becomes a Wembley type avenue with parkland and amenities each side, with the listed Leazes Terrace overlooking, I can't see how that's not anything but a vast improvement on the existing cityscape. Other than parkrun, the end of Leazes Park for the new stadium doesn't offer much at all.

He's a complete bellend. I mean, just look at his view on biological men competing in women's sports. He thinks it would be 'wonderful' if they dominated against biological women.

Neither Burn or Gordon have looked worthy of a place in the starting 11. No disrespect to Burn, but don't think expectations for him are particularly high anyway. Gordon on the other hand has hugely underwhelmed every time.

We're not really competing with those clubs in the transfer market. Not even close, really. Unlike them, an expensive flop would be a major set back for us - both financially and on the pitch. We're in very narrow performance window where we need top 4 capable squad players, but on a top 7 budget. We need to buy extremely carefully.

Gone quiet on this front? Honestly thought we'd hear something once the season was wrapped up.
