  1. It does seem like we have a very specific transfer strategy, you could call it a reverse chelsea. Looks like we pick a small number of targets that we are absolutely sure of would fit our team, and then we go after them no matter what the situation in their club is and how available they are. Even the people we didn't end up getting proved to be really good players, like Ekitike and Joao Pedro, who fit the exact same profile as Isak and both turned out good even in different clubs. Sometimes that will mean that we seemingly overpay compared to objective price like with Gordon, but once they fit in, the original price seems irrelevant to what you get for a first 11 member of a top EPL club. Now, eventually there will be a big miss even though we didn't have it so far, and in that case the transfer will be ridiculed because a lot of our transfers seem overpriced in the beginning. Overall though, our hit rate is really high and I think the strategy is working well. Especially because we have a great atmosphere at the club and are willing to pay our best players well so that they stay, and each good transfer helps build up the club long term.
  2. If Saudi's truly love us, they will open up a real estate development company called St. James Park, and sponsor our stadium for 30million £ per year.
  3. Footballers talk a lot between each other. This stuff matters more than people think, not only because of improvement in training, but also for the perception of the club, and how it increases our appeal to players that might come.

    Why is nobody talking about this beast of a man?
  5. In my opinion Diaz should get two yellows, one for the shove and one for the dive. Schar shouldnt have gotten anything.

    Even though we really need a CB right now, I don't understand the valuation. For this kind of money, we should be buying one of the world's best CBs.
  7. I meant its crazy that the yellow went only to Jesus and not the ass grabber
  8. EPL refs on fire yet again, yellow only to Jesus
  9. Luckily the refereeing has been good so this is 3rd yellow for Harwood Bellis
  10. Their players have to kill someone to even get a yellow
