Most relevant indicator of squad quality is the wage bill. If Man City spent 100m on transfer fees this summer and so did Scunthorpe United, they wouldn't have the same squad quality, would they?

El nuevo Riquelme

Our biggest January signings will be "hopefully" all our injured players coming back.

I just think we are playing it smartly and keeping our options open. No need to play Hall 5 minutes a game if it makes the buyout permanent even if we do intend to exercise the option. Lot can change between now and summer, and we might need that money for a more immediate signing if one our main players gets heavily injured.

I really think we should fire this guy from our medical team..

Every country in Europe has a TV deal for UCL TV rights, percentage of that deal goes to the clubs of that country for that year. So for example (I will make up a number because I don't feel like googling the exact number right now) let's say that England has around 150m£, 4 English clubs will split that 150m. How that money is split depends on which position you were in the table last year (we were 4th so as a base we get the least) and it also depends on how far you progress in the competition.

Hat-trick of assists in the first 30 minutes.

Yes, at this point of the season, and given our injury problems, I would rather not play in Europe at all than play in Europa League.

The international break in question is the Euros 2024.

This fucker of a ref just waits for the situation to go in our favour and then calls a foul

They are saving all the presents for christmas.

Looks pretty good, Belgium should fall off when knockout stages come.

It reminds me of my playing against my fat friend in basketball, I make a double move and he defends it because he didn't even react to my original move yet.

The magnificent 11 starts again

Chubby belly is the deadliest

Hopefully Barnes is back soon, these 11 will collapse

Wor gaffer.

Love the Longstaff run he did one time, to get a 1v1 vs a defender but didn't manage to get a shot off. Very promising for the future of his career if he is already doing stuff like that.

Why would we downgrade our goalkeeper position by signing Ramsdale?

"His eyes don't sparkle anymore"

I don't mind Gordon not getting a call up. With our forward line being depleted, he needs rest as much as possible in the next couple of months.

Agreed fully with the conclusion. Didn't manage to watch the game live as I was at a birthday party. When I heard all the comments about Bruno elbow I assumed it was like the one against PSG where it was a straight up hit with no justification. This one seemed much more ambiguous, where you can justify it as being part of the game and accidental. Still could have been red, but isn't as clear cut.

Willock coming on for Joelinton in 60th minute

Congrats to Saudi Arabia!

Best midfielder in the league right now.
