Because we are elite! 

Would love for the kit in the next few years to reach the £100m mark

Adidas - £45m

Sela - £40m

Noon - £15m

Would put us in an unbelievable position.

I think for a Barnes sort of fee he's worth it. 

Yeah that’s fair enough 

If we can target another play with the same profile then that’s the attack sorted with hopefully Miggy and Wilson both departing

Soon to enter last year of contact I think 

2026 - stand corrected

What’s that, about £34m. 
 

Probably the going rate for an established PL attacking player of that age.

Soon to enter last year of contact I think

I hear people say mbuemo can play across the front 3 but he’s 5”7 and from what I can see he’s only ever played up front next to Toney or Wissa. 
 

Never going to work in our system as a striker. We need a striker who can play in place of Isak or with him if we go 2 up top. 

I saw him play as a 9 at Anfield a few years back and he gave the Liverpool back line a lot of trouble 

We don’t need an Isak level forward - an Mbuemo gives you tactical flexibility if Isak is ever injured

Do Liverpool even need him, or is this a ‘Buy him so no one else can’ type of situation?

They have Salah and Elliott

I’ve not been paying attention. How many multiple-club ownerships are there in the Premier League?

Let’s see 

Man U - Nice

Villa - Vitoria Guimaraes

Man C - 5/6

Chelsea - Strasbourg

Forest - Olympiakos 

Bournemouth - Lorient

Probs a few more to boot

I read an article about the same thing happening with Brighton and Union Saint-Gilloise who have the same owner. All they needed to do was "restructure their board." 

Same with Villa

Its a complete non story - UEFA will not do anything

Didn’t the two Red Bull teams play each other a few years back?

Why the hell would they be open to selling him?!

Yeah a strange one - not as if they are cash strapped

This German playoff game is mental, both teams are knackered 

What a bottjejob ultimately by Düsseldorf - mentally tough to bounce back from this 

I think he’ll go on a free - Southampton might pay him a small signing on fee, everyone wins

Believe he is gone now. Mandatory clause the loan became permanent if they went up.

Hopefully - it’s triggered the auto option on Harwood-Bellis - if the same applies tp Fraser then brilliant

Summerville from Leeds if they don't win today?

He is best on the left unless we move AG which I don’t want to - we have enough quality on that side 

Good player though

Douglas wrote in his piece last week that our top targets for the RW position have yet to be mentioned in the press.

With one of our scouts being Dutch - I am hedging my bets on J Bakayoko 

I think quite a few alluded to this already - need to stop being a soft touch away from home - think a new GK and CB will help massively plus Sandro and a new RW

Shows even in a season like that - tons of positives came out of it.

I am the biggest doom merchant going but even I have to temper by expectations down and realise that things take time.

5 years they said to get us ready to really compete  - which I believe we are on track for: you can’t do everything in one go: 

Year on year our commercial (non European) income has grown - big deals made 

Big sponsors (kit, training ground to come)

Growing our brand worldwide - USA - Aus -Japan

Improvements made to training ground 

Stack fanzone

New club store - taking back control 

Creating a sporting structure (DoF, Academy appointments)

Buying talented youngsters for the academy 

Feasibility of the stadium

Growth of women’s team

Lets not forget the odd plus:

 

-Adidas as new shirt sponsor

-Gordon flourishing 

-Emergence Of Miley

-Newcastle hammering PSG (what a night)

-Joelinton Signing new contract

Add
Scoring bucket load of goals

I thought Tino - Hall - Anderson - (Minteh) showed great signs for the future 

Isak as a real top notch striker

It'd be interesting to know how the Europa Conference is thought of within the game. Obviously it’s jegreat for fans, but with it effectively being the third rung of European football it'd be interesting to know how much prestige players attach to it.

The problem with the EC is the lack of so called big league depth: you put 2 teams from England, Italy, France, Germany, Spain and it looks a lot better 

The CL league literally feeds 10 clubs per season and it’s virtually the same 10

Man Utd getting an extra 25-30m than us in the CL - it’s a joke - filter that money down to the other competitions

Ipswich after Miggy for £21m.

Was mentioned by Ben Jacobs a few days back

It is a poor return, but Everton have been dog shit for those seasons.

 

The previous two seasons, when they were better, with a far better squad, he had 29 in 62 starts.

Everton also play with 3 DMs and 2 wingers who are average 

DCL is either heading long balls or running into empty channels 

This won’t be the case here

If (when!?!?) it happens, you know fine well it'll be the nerviest, heart stopping, hanging on to a deflected 1-0 of all time 

Well I was nervous during the pens today - god knows how I’ll be in the 89th min of a final when we’re 1 up

Serie A with 6 clubs in the CL next season as it stands.

Do they get 6? Even if Atalanta finish 5th?

Ademola has finished these boys. My goodness.

 

What a level he's reached since going to Italy.

 

Been really good for the Super Eagles too.

 

Happy for him.

 

 

He’s at a brilliant club - the amount of players they’ve churned out last 5/6 years - top coach Gasperini - been the nearly men for a while

Are you going to be as relentless when Howe doesn't buy a first choice cm during the season? 

He can buy whoever he wants

Ederson is everything we need at the base of our midfield. With Joelinton and Bruno in midfield, we’d be absolutely unreal 

He plays all 3 positions in a 3 man midfield - seen him play loads on the right side -  very adaptable 

Ederson and Scalvini please
