I don’t see the point in spending that kind of money on Diaby and wanting to sell ASM. He’s a worse version of Maxi; the guy’s defensive contribution is absolutely zero and has less vision. Only advantages are his age, ability to play on the right and he’s less injury-prone. Otherwise he’s an inferior version.

Yeah, they’re fair but I wouldn’t say they were cheap. Arguably our 2 biggest bargains/ success stories in Bruno and Botman came from there so it’s a market I’d love for us to keep tapping.

Not necessarily either: Aguerd went for 35m, Tchouameni for 80m, Onana for 35m, Paqueta for 40 odd etc. Not cheap. In saying that, I do think it’s a league we should be looking at; so many great young talents with the physicality to succeed in the PL.

Finding 3 “Bruno’s” is a bit of a stretch. “On the continent” deals are no where near as cheap these days; see Mudryk, Antony etc. We were unbelievably lucky with Bruno. You can’t bank on getting players like that for 40m.

Yeah, Pep just needs a CL trophy and he’s the best manager of all-time for me.

Wew.

Selling clubs obviously have prices they will let their players go for and Howe’s answers in an interview will have zero bearing on that. Best to take him at face value and not assume he’s lying in some devious ploy to pressure other clubs to sell or whatever.

Would love a win here to nab 3rd.

Hoping Leicester and Everton go down. Big Sam to be all smug before getting sacked for a forrin in the summer and moaning about it on pundit shows for the rest of his life.

One of our best pickups was Ashworth.

maybe. Wouldn’t be my first choice for sure, but there’s enough there for Howe to work with (at the right price). Hope we go for someone better though, obviously.

Right or wrong I think we’ll be in for him this summer.

My guess is we’ll be spending around 150m. edit: basically what rocafella said.

Or the Champions League theme tune! So obvious.

Should be celebrating yet here I am fuming at the dj.

Oh fuck off DJ!!

Why give it back to them.

Holy fuck. Heart stopped.

I hate this.

I don’t like this. Leicester are trying now.

Strong subs for them.

Fuck me…. Save.

Anderson is so timid.

Maddison coming on scares me.

Missing his ability to drive into the box too.
