We have Tonali. So well be fine.

Tonali will carry us to glory.

Didnt he only have a year left on his contract as well?

If we were to qualify for the UCL next season, the new format would definitely help us. There will be some easier games like Villa had this year.

40 mill I think, last year of contract.

Our performances definitely improve against the "bigger" clubs though. Would expect an improved performance from the lads with it being Manchester Reds & the dangle of UCL football.

We will be talking to the agents of dozens of players about their appetite for joining us, wage demands etc. This is one that has leaked to the press. Why wouldn't we have a conversation about Cunha, Huijsen etc.? Doesn't mean they are our main targets.

We are barely out of second gear here. Not a great game to watch.

Schar man!

The only answer is Cabaye.

How is James getting away with tackling Collins to the ground every corner?

I think hes about on par with Rice. Though he is a few years younger than Rice as well.

If we paid 50 mil for him and hes now proven an elite premier league number 6. Whats he worth now? 100 mill?

The issue we have is home grown quota for Europe next season. Do we get Forster or Krul as a third choice? Adam Armstrong as a squad player? We only have Miley that would count. Elliot Anderson would be canny.

His biggest issue is his mentality. When he’s confident his passing and technique is of a premier league standard. His stamina is definitely very high and his positional sense is great. Finds himself in goal scoring positions a lot for a midfielder. But just lacks real confidence.

That’s unreal

What the fuck have I just seen

Lost the plot here. Needed to take our chances.

What are the chances they extend his contract to 2031 and pay him 250,000k a week. This will then reduce his remaining amortised transfer fee from 10 mill a year to 5 mill a year. The extra 5 mill can cover his increased wage? Put in a release clause of 180 million for certain elite clubs.

Other than being the head of PIF which earns money for Saudi Arabia, (human rights) what has he done that makes him a cunt?

Just Murphy and Barnes left!

Hip injury according to Tuchel. Hopefully muscular and not structural.

I would keep him left and play Gordon on the right.

At 42 million, we will have had him for 9 years when his contract expires. Thats 5 million a year spread over his transfer fee to that point. Hes been a bargain really, given his importance and longevity.

I think he is one of the finest all-round midifelders we have had. His ability to keep the ball, use his body to shield the opposition, play a through ball to the forwards are such rare traits. You combine this with his passion and drive and he is an elite player. What he lacks in pace, he makes up for in his rare qualities.
