We need some sort of europe as the club need to properly learn how to juggle the league and European football. If we can't do it with the ECL than we have no chance doing it with the UCL.

Gutted tbh. We can’t buy another centre back (not a decent one anyway) due to PSR/FFP. it will most likely have to be a loan. Next summer will have to be big yet we can’t spend because of the restrictions. So I guess another midtable battle for 7th or 8th.

True about Diaby but I can imagine he will be better next season like a lot of Bundesliga transfers. I think Barnes will too nest season however considering Leicester were relegated we paid too much.

Its not the personal that the problem it’s the amount we are spending on our players.

I really hope it’s not a PL team if he does go. But 100m isn’t worth it considering what we need.

Whatever happens I do hope that the we can be better at the scouting. Yes FFP has been annoying but our scouting and negotiating has not been good at all. Apart from Bruno a lot of the players aren’t now worth much more than we brought them for. A big concern was the Harvey Barnes transfer. Why did we pay €44mil for him when Spurs got Maddison for around the same amount. We are talking about buying from a team that has just been relegated and needed to sell player due to ffp and somehow we still overspent. Some of the recent deals have been questionable and need to be better. Brighton consistently seem to find hidden gems. West Ham brought kudus (who is younger than Barnes) and paqueta from 40m. I would say both are worth a lot more than that now. When you look at Aston Villa Ollie Watkins cost then 34m! Douglas Luiz cost them 16m! why can’t we negotiate well and also find players that aren’t going to mess us up when it comes to ffp. It’s all now added up and now we are unable to spend without selling assets which will now most likely be Bruno.
