SBJB ?

I dont think ASM has so probably not. Looking foward to @Johnny's next masterpiece.

Really looking forward to this - need my Bruno and Joelinton fix

Doesnt matter. The wage bill should grow organically. If Coutinho came in on 200k or 250k or whatever, how long before ASM wants the same, or Wilson, or Bruno Gibberish?

No i dont either. I get that Howe might want to play a different way once we have better players throughout the squad but at the moment, Id say players in his wage bracket are beyond us.

Howe doesnt play with a 10 though - so coutinho would be playing deeper. Dont think he could play at his best in the hustle and bustle of central midfield.

Caboose.

Same here - clip started in black and white for me.

I think we'll go to 120m to 140m tbh.

Wasnt much of a Viz reader myself but even just saying Thieving Gypsy Bastards makes me giggle.

Its utterly absurd. But then so is the rest of football. Also, did Abramovich ever take money out of Chelsea? If a new buyer, even an outright buyer nevermind a leverged buyer, wants their dividends like Manure, wheres that money coming from?

Surely you cant buy a football club for 2.5B and NOT cut costs.

You have a name? - PM me

Theres no way were bringing in Neymar if character is one of the main attributes of future transfers

Its all fun and games til theyre all on international duty together.

I think with ASM weve got to remember hes had a free role since hes came here. Hes been free to do whatever he likes within the (very) loose tactical system Bruce had. Now that Howe is here - our tactics are quite rigid with not a lot of room to be creative or expressive. Of course hes gonna struggle. IIRC Howe came out recently and said something along the lines of he set the team up to pick up points, not to set the world alight. Hes also not fit. He'll probably perform in fits and starts for the rest of the season. A full preseason under Howe, better players around him, a less rigid system and I think we'll see a much better team player.

No official team news yet?

I cant see the Saudis being asked or being removed from football. As said above, if they were, youve then got to question the behaviour/relationships of every other owner - and not just in the premier league. Also if they did, what about saudi involvement in the wider world of sport and industry? As we very kindly gave the Russians time to move their assets out of the UK, if saudi money were to leave as well, what would this mean to the economy as a whole?
