Most likely is cheaper than Karius wages wise. And will play equal minutes (zero)
-
Ashby? Surely with no European games we are not going to spend 20 million on a back up right back? Trippier leaving is not a given.
-
Soo, why would we buying Neco Williams? Surely right back is a place we are well covered, even if Trippier leaves.
-
Selling Gordon makes no sense in FFP wise. Has to be something like 70 million + deal to get enough because of his amortisation.
-
Andersson for Elanga is good business.
-
I would guess Odense will take a chunk on the Minteh fee aswell?

Giorgi Mamardashvili (now playing for Valencia, on loan from Liverpool)

Looks like brilliant shot stopper, but his kicking was prettu awful. That part is not going to get better if we sign him I guess. -
DCL is not a great goalscorer, but I think he offers totally different option than Wilson. Wilson is a poacher. DCL is a better targetman
-
Surely this would be done in a seperate deals? They pay x amount for Andersson and we pay x+y for Kilman? Makes no sense to do a swap deal.

Group C: 1. England, 2. Denmark, 3. Slovenia (Q), 4. Serbia
KingArthur replied to Big River's topic in Football
Serbia is quite crap to be honest, and had England on the ropes for a long while. Very disappointing and negative start. -
I dont think us or City would spend much more on players than Man United for example…
-
135k/week reported somewhere. That is quite a lot.
-
30-35 million for Mbeumo is fine. 50 million should get you a better player to be honest
-
And Hall 30 million on top of that? no chance I would think. 100 million reduced by sales I would guess.
-
Mbeumo would obviously be upgrade on Almiron, but really would like to see us aim higher. If FFP is a problem and does not allow us to splash 50-60 million for a RW, then he is fine of course.

Your own football ability - how good are/were you?
KingArthur replied to Big Geordie's topic in Football
As a Finn, we trained on snowy pitch or sand for until May, then on to horrible bumpy grass.. Now that my 3 yo has started "football" (more like group of kids and parents play around a bit with the ball and then there are different workouts for parents too in the same time) they are on artificial turf and during winter a warm indoor pitch. So a bit different I played as a striker as until 13-14, scored a decent amount but wasn't much of athlete. As a adult I have played as centerhalf and DM. Just kicking people to bits. -
189cm really is not a midget...
-
Tripps also has had injury problems. If he moves will we replace him? Tino first choice and Krafth behind, or Ashby?

KingArthur replied to Rich's topic in Football
Surely this cannot be the right answer? -
Gallagher of course is a great player. But for that amount and our FFP problems, our needs elsewhere are bigger
-
Burn and Lascelles are one of the reason we are not a top top team. So are Longstaff, Andersson, Dubravka and Almiron. All these need upgrading. I agree midfield needs reinforcing. But Gallagher is a 50-60 million player who is an England International. We are not going to buy him to put him ( or Brazil International or Italy International, both 50-60 million players) on the bench. We are nowhere near that yet. We have Almiron and Murphy RW and aging Schär as the only fit top level CB. And injury prone Wilson as the only option for CF. edit. Tonali is Longstaff replacement. I understand buying Gallagher if Bruno leaves

KingArthur replied to Rich's topic in Football
Please stop with this bs -
And Gallagher is a player we absolutely do not need at the moment
-
Hopefully no DCL. And Bowen is a great player, so is MGW but damn both will be expensive. Would rather have us look for left footer RW and from the continent.

De Zerbi left Brighton because he didnt get enough say on who comes and goes. How is that different with Chelsea?
