Based on Edwards latest Tweet, I shit you not. I must have slipped into an alternative dimension where we didn't sign Botman, Bruno and Isak. Didn’t the Edwards article link us with Thuram and Caicedo ? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheInfiniteOdyssey Posted June 5, 2023 Share Posted June 5, 2023 Even if McTominay is brought in and even if the fee is inflated, he could still nevertheless become a really good signing for us. Really just depends on his performances. We could bring in a player like Kone or Thuram for less money and they might be crap. That’s football, no point getting worked up unless it’s actually going wrong. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
JonBez comesock Posted June 5, 2023 Share Posted June 5, 2023 I am not panicking but it’s going to be very interesting next season Liverpool already looking to tie down 1/2 players Chelsea will definitely strengthen and have a half decent manager and multiple talented players that need to gel Arsenal meant to be getting Rice !! Man united will give it a go but probably buy random shite Brighton have loads of young talent Villa looked strong and will improve Man City - are Man City spurs - Lol Us - good 11/12 players but severely lacking in depth and are not there yet in terms of wages / transfer fees (if any of the alleged big boys compete for the same player) Which means we have to be absolutely bang on again with players (under the radar and emerging talent) Might be a tough ask for top 4 but we will give it one hell of a try Exactly what we all asked for , I prefer it this way (as if FFP wasn’t a factor we could literally buy every elite player x 2 in every position) and build a 100,000 seater stadium and win everything in one or two years.

Go and get yourself a bit sun ffs So much to unpack with stuff like this, the window isn't officially open, much of the noise will be journalists or wannabe itk's trying to get clicks and attention, and whilst I've never been overly impressed with McTominay, I can see past that and see how he fits the system we have, how his skillset fits with what we have and how we play, we can't just fill the team with flair and creation, there needs to be industry and graft too. In relation to Eddie spunking 30-40 million, I think he, his staff and the scouting team probably have better judgement and understanding of whats needed to progress than Bazro136.

McCormick Posted June 5, 2023 Share Posted June 5, 2023 The McTominay hate is wild btw. I get that he’s not incredible but the reaction to just being linked to him is waaay over the top. He’s not that bad ffs and would probably be (at bare minimum) decent enough for us and our system. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

All bought as a cheap FB options over the years. Some never played more then a handful of games others Champions League. Sometimes managers take a punt and it fails other times it works. But for 3million or whatever it was and a bloke who would be behind Trippier, Kraft it might be worth the gamble Bernard was a good left back but I still can’t go past this sorry, child in me Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hes not that bad, but he will take 1/4 out of our budget because Manu will do all in their power to flog us. He doesnt take our quality a step up. We are basically standing still with another Longstaff. Hes fine as an alternative/backup, but we should be aiming at a purple DM/CM. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shays Given Tim Flowers Posted June 5, 2023 Share Posted June 5, 2023 How does a selling club take us for all they can? Surely we have a figure that we are prepared to pay for any player and then that’s it. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

timeEd32 Posted June 6, 2023 Share Posted June 6, 2023 I honestly can't blame any of these guys for taking nine figure annual salaries (or anything close to it). It's wealth on a complete different level from the already huge money in the game. But I have to imagine many in and around football are starting to follow these Saudi clubs out of sheer interest in what's happening. Doubt it means anything.

I think growing the game in the country and then getting a World Cup is the aim. But after today I'm a little worried another goal is the LIV model of attract enough talent to get the necessary leverage to take over the sport. Obviously much more difficult in football than golf for a lot of reasons. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Miggy would be a superstar over there tbh. I'm assuming we'd probably sell him for £50m or something daft as well, so could work out well both ways.

Very rare people in any walk of life settle for what they currently have... Look at Messi who if he wanted could have stayed or signed for Barca on reduced wages and continued his legacy.
