The big six with Spurs aye? Same amount of league titles as Sheffield Wed who might not last the week.

Don't think whoever the owners were would make any difference in the current regulatory climate.

Even if he's better than Riviere, Rob McDonald, Guivarch etc. he's provenly not good enough for where and what we want to be, so why fucking bother

I'm on this bus now. Better and more proven option than the others who themselves are just stop gaps now anyway.

We could take the same step back for a fraction of that price/wages too

Like replacing Cole with Milosevic, except a provenly bad Premier League season in the bank Milosevic instead of the unknown quantity

He wasn't but probably is now since Europa/Conference in a good season is what were stuck with.

yay

We've already got those

Only way there'd be anything in that is if its one of those cooked up PSR deals that ourselves and Forest, Villa and Everton did last summer

Hojlund was the starting striker for a team that finished above us the season before and Weghorst was the season before that

That's exactly what they want us to do. Give up basically.

The only way we can grow the club is by buying top players to take us to a higher level. Its the only way that's ever happened. Otherwise its a case of if you always do what you always did, you'll always get what you always got. Its just PSR has shut that down now. Nothing wrong with the principal.

Hope he's got to use to Ashley era paddling pools and wheelie bins and not the good shit.

Be more underwhelming than signing nobody signing this guy.

Just fuck the whole forward thing off and make do with what we've got and focus on other areas. Anybody we bring in there now is detrimental in terms of overspend and quality. Sure we wont breakthrough or challenge next season but were not going to anyway, thats only more justification to not just sign overpriced chaff

Even a points deduction has lost its threat at this point since qualifying for the CL and Europe doesn't help grow a club anymore. 6th, 16th its all the same bullshit at the end of the day if you know you cant go anywhere.

Temerity of the c*nts to cite maintaining competitiveness as a ruse to push psr in.

Too melancholic about the whole thing to be worried. Worried would be an improvement. Would suggest there's something to be won and lost here.

Just highlights how impossible it is to grow organically, which the peddlers of these rules know full well but still push as a 'why don't you?' excuse for this farce.

At least there are no actually top players left outside the elite clubs now so we'll never have this situation ever again. We'll just be the biggest shark at the feeding frenzy of relegated clubs juiciest morsels. What joy.

I'd be more embarrassed if we were smoothly signing shit that isn't good enough for where we are and want to be.

We could have blown them out of the water on both counts without PSR

Haven't had such buyers remorse before actually signing a player before.

They weren't nearly as keen to assign the Isak replacement designation to Joao Pedro or Ekitike before the Liverpool attempts at Isak.
