Villa, ourselves, Chelsea, Forest, Leicester and Everton ay

Just six clubs that had or have ambition which is now a bad thing and banned henceforth.

If you don't have ambition or just give up that's fine.

What a mess.

 

Chelsea took the piss imo - so have no sympathy for them - the rest I agree

It looks like Southgate is gonna go with Trippier as our leftback at the euros. Crazy selection. 

The lack of natural LBs in the squad is shocking - ok if there’s a Tino about but none of the rest of the RBs can play LB imo

I’m hoping it’s Guehi left back and Trips right back. Fear for Trips if he’s having to play left back.

never fills me with confidence at LB

Chelsea won’t he signing a new keeper this summer according to their journalists.

That’s right - they’ll be signing 3 new goalkeepers

Forest only want £40m for gibbs white.

I might be talking complete nonsense here - say Forest agreed a fee with Wolves for 40 - so far they’ve paid 30, the additional 10 means they are over FFP so need to sell before any further FFP charges?

Only way we’re getting him is if the Tosin deal doesn’t happen.

Don’t know - I think we may sign a young CB with a eye on Schar departing next summer  - Kelly you would assume will compete with Hall

A three year deal benefits him just as much as us, if he does well he can negotiate a much better deal quickly and if he wants to move on he can negotiate himself a nice signing on fee somewhere else.

I guess we will have ‘an option of a further year’ in the contract and trigger it if needs be

Who are these transformative right wingers that we are going to buy though? 

 

We rarely seem to get linked with right wingers I think the only ones were very tentative links to Olise, Chiesa and Bowen

I’d snap your hands off if offered Mbeumo, M Soule and S Killiscoy (Turkish kid)

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 

Just now, Mikky said:

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 

32 minutes ago, Stifler said:

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

42 minutes ago, Leemond said:

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 

18 minutes ago, sempuki said:

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 

4 minutes ago, SUPERTOON said:

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
