They are proper dirty cunts like. Can tell the manager has told them be physical and they've implemented it by kicking us to death.

As someone who hates back 5 systems in general I wouldn't mind It here. Terrified of our lack of pace in transition against this lot. Big ask of Bruno and Sandro though.

Will wait and see what they come up with before casting judgement.

I wouldn't swap Barnes for Ramsey however I'm very relaxed about letting players to who aren't Isak and Tonali. PSR demands sacrifices if your us or Villa as shit as it is.

Because our weaknesses are so easy exploit I can't be over confident once they are addressed in the summer we will be a problem!

Nether did Kyle walker.

Fingers crossed they choose Wesley. Where have you seen this?

Was worried when they mentioned city lack home grown players and wanted a left back but my concern was Hall and not Tino.

It won't be one a off, how can these clubs compete? Football is obviously full throated capitalism and as the Premier league has the lion share of money domination becomes inevitable. Don't get me wrong we will have seasons where English clubs are no where especially in the champions league but for the other 2 competitions english clubs will generally be amongst the favourites.

As you know man, we complain as fans rightfully so but the set up we have is exactly what the clubs wants. Well close enough at least.

Athletics city correspondent reckons MGW to city is nailed on.

Take away the champions league place and it becomes the conference league. Problem is Uefa will be loving the amount of attention the Europa league has received this year.

I hold no ill will towards the lad and wish him well. Lovely ffp boost for us though.

They are linked with him yeah, they will be licking their lips at that price. Him and Kerkez for less than we got Tino and hall for is canny business (this isn't a knock on us as we looked to have got a bargain as well).

Of course, if not the total package would have been over 20m in one Financial year. The whole point of the PSR swap is to spread the cost over a longer period of time to reduce the impact in one year. Best case Scenario for Vlad is we get someone to take him on loan and pay his wages.

Ornstein saying Frimpongs release clause is only 35m euro The scousers are so Jammy.

How long does Joe have left on his deal? 2 years?

Contrary to popular opinion I've got no issue with what Chelsea are doing, ultimately the clubs choose not to tighten the rules around such transactions so they've got nobody to blame but themselves. The issueI have is the fact Chelsea broke rules and self reported and as far as I can tell have either got away with it entirely or received a none punishment

Close enough, the point being that Cartel clubs always get high fees for players who have played first team minutes.

They are "trusting the process" so expect them to throw more money at him and whine they lost the title because we refused then the recall of Isaks 6 year loan deal.

Not specific to us but a good piece about strikers who profile like Delap worth a read https://www.nytimes.com/athletic/6329146/2025/05/06/so-your-club-cant-land-liam-delap-this-summer-who-should-they-target-instead/

Sorry Rich, meant to reply to this as my first post came across as Flippant. I think with Tino and Hall they were both highly rated and playing in positions which feels quite difficult to fill, also a younger age profile as well Elliot has come off a middling season and is 22, he lacks the athleticism and pace to play out wide so you have to play him centrally imo, which begs the question. Are you willing to pay 40m for a reserve cm? They may get 40m for him after all Arsenal rinsed Fulham for 40m for ESR but I think he doesn't make much sense for us. Although, I Caveat all of this by saying if Eddie wants him im in.

I think villa are absolutely fine. It's worth remembering that the wages issue isn't relevant as squad cost hasn't passed yet.

Where is this villa have psr issues coming from? They sold Duran for 70m pure profit.

40m He's so lightweight and slow
