No mention of the 18 minutes of added time.

also, let’s remember folks that we are going to be linked with everyone this window, from Neymar to Messi. it’s important we all step back and realise most of these rumours won’t be remotely true so don’t get down hearted when we miss out on players we aren’t even interested in.

Aye, I reckon we will get 5-6 in total spend around 150m. Maybe even 100m as I get the feeling they like to keep some money in reserve.

I’m his interview with the press after the game the gaffa mentioned not to expect big changes and spoke about us not being able to afford to to mad. Then again Howe and telling the truth to Journalists doesn’t exactly go hand in hand.

Also let’s hope Eales and Silverstone have been canny and negotiated more money for our sponsorship if we qualify for the ECL.

Hope he brought the cheque book

They are absolutely mental, the whole point of a league is to decide who is most worthy over the season. Spoiler alert; one of the four is us. I think deep down, they know they need a rebuild but they are terrified by the thought of it not being done because FSG. (Despite FSG backing them this far I may add).

some of them suggesting leaving the premier league, for reasons unknown

Get in! It feels so strange for the result of a game to be irrelevant but boy does this scoreline feel that.

Had to go with big joe.

Bamford is such a Cronky suggestion ffs.

I thought he was basically the frontman for QSI (same folks that own PSG).

The Bruno comparison is interesting for sure, but given Bruno has been playing as a 6 the comparison is lacking somewhat. If we push Bruno to an 8 I fancy he would get quite a few more open player goal contributions than JWP would too. JWP would be a great squad option but he’s on a forgone on Soton and I’m certain would want to be more than a rotation player.

I don’t see where he fits us, doesn’t really have the athleticism of our 8 and lacks defensive awareness for the 6. Wouldn’t surprise me if he ended up here though.

I’m sure Bruno and big Joe are fine.

It’s an interesting question, the bigger issue is these days those fees aren’t much although all of those players are fully a mortised so great for the old FFP. I’m certain Cal would have no shortage of takers.

As someone who doesn’t watch the German league, can anyone explain why Leipzig have all of these highly rated players but are miles off winning the league?

Thanks for sharing but we can say safely this isn’t happening. We have too many areas to strengthen to invest so much into one player.

Precisely, the question should have been worded better how much are forecast to spend if we qualify would have been better.

Turkish media should not be believed.

Should we qualify for the CL what is the speculated big budget we would be working with this summer?

The tactical set up was a thing of beauty, the gaffa deservers all the credit in the world. The tactical discipline our players play with is elite. They’ve followed the Eddie’s word the the letter.

We definitely need to invalidate the actual league table by introducing a play off. Let’s just not bother and hand the top 4 places to the so called big 6 and not bother.

Nobody is saying he isn’t a good player, the concern is his injury record along with our slim margin for error.

We can’t afford To make mistakes in the market as acknowledged by the ownership, so why would we take a risk on someone with such an injury record.
