Wasn’t the issue more a case of not being able to promise him the number 1 spot/ more game time than pope?

£35m 😳😂😂😂

what else would you have done differently financially? they had to bring in quality players, who cost more.. to gain ground on teams around us at the time. If they brought in lesser/cheaper players and not progressed. People would have been fuming at that instead. there are players here who have been here a while who they can’t sell as no one wants to buy. So not a huge amount of opportunities to bring money back in. it was obvious when he signed that players like minteh were potentially brought in with this sell on for higher amount idea in mind. Which has happened. Koul was another but that doesn’t seem to be working. this next 3 year cycle should be much better. They inherited a club that has had next to no revenue generated for a decade. They’ve built this up already.

Likely all that was needed to hit that target so just accepted it to get it out the way.

this will have been answered/explained before so apologies. But today has had my head battered. Am I right thinking once July 1st hits. We have a complete new cycle on the whole PSR stuff, with the new finances coming in to play, adidas/champions league etc? If so. We can then pretty much go all out with incomings? (Within reason obviously)

“Chelsea 'withdraw from race for Alexander Isak' after refusing to meet Newcastle's £100m-plus valuation and failed deal could have negative consequences for Everton” https://www.dailymail.co.uk/sport/football/article-13581945/Chelsea-withdraw-race-Alexander-Isak-refusing-meet-Newcastle-100m-plus-valuation-Everton.html?ns_mchannel=rss&ns_campaign=1490&ito=social-twitter_dailymailsport

That’s the home GK kit

thread title is nearly as bad as those crap headlines fake journalist twitter accounts make just so you click the link to their website.

Pretty much (if not all) teams with adidas have the same keeper top template

he just loves ruining peoples fun doesn't he haha.

same with any deal between companies. a price is sent, usually lower at first to try get a "good deal" on the buyers side. the selling side then review it and discuss it internally, either say yeah thats fine, or think, no we want more, so go back and say that. or they go back and say we want X amount. the buying club then take that onboard, then return with a new offer. if both have different values in mind, its not as simple as it looks. buying club have budgets for everything so need to work out if the extra causes issues elsewhere etc

wonder if it was “leaked” or “put out there” in a tone of a dig at the premier league and its whole forcing clubs to sell players they don’t want to sell due to ffp. Similar to what Villa have had to do and acted on today. Like no intention of selling but a kick at the league sort of thing. If that makes sense

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Match_(TV_series) This what you meant? I vaguely remember it after reading that

Nah don’t think so. Can only remember old Trafford. wembley. stamford bridge London stadium etihad could be wrong though

So they can claim the gate money. Bar money. Sponsorship money and put it towards their FFP

3-2 England now

Wiltshire just ruined Cech there 😂

Walk on music for subs. Get in the bin 😂😂

They could have done the match before the summer repair of the pitch started like haha Urgh goal music 😂

It’s going to be terrible. But there’s not much else on the tv on a Sunday evening

He can play as a second striker so could be used as an option to play along side Isak if need impact off the bench. im sure he’s played RW too (albeit not loads) so is an option there too

This. lascelles. Pope. Livramento. Wilson. Tonali. Botman. Weren’t in the videos either. They clearly just picked a few who were available at the time.

Trippier isn’t club captain…

the whole team infront of him weren’t. Hard to judge when playing in a team like that.

I don’t mind the idea of bringing Trafford in. I’m sure Eddie/the scouts have watched enough of him. Probably spoke to Tino and Gordon, possibly pope too to see what they think of him. hard to judge him when playing in an absolute shit Burnley side
