Gallowgate End Posted July 10, 2019 Share Posted July 10, 2019 Frankfurt forward Sébastien Haller is refusing a move to West Ham, despite the Hammers being willing to pay €40m to sign him - Frenchman would only move to a Champions' League club, according to BILD. Better than Gomez please don’t happen Gianluca di Marzio’s French correspondent @Guillaumemp Reporting that West Ham United approached Juventus today for Gonzalo Higuain, envisaging a loan with option to buy. Juve asked for €40m. Jesus Must be great knowing you’ve got £40million to blow on a Striker. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Will Dean Smith get Top 10 first season up like Rafa Benitez(Without money) and Nuno Santo did? Nope.

The big advantage they have over Brighton and Fulham is ground capacity and potential support, which means they will be more likely to push on, backed by owners who are willing to spend.

Raconteur Posted July 10, 2019 Share Posted July 10, 2019 They took a side that came second in the Championship and survived two PL campaigns - how can you transform a squad like that without spending squillions unless you have a manager like Rafa Benitez? Leffe was generous - net spend is almost entirely irrelevant in Brighton’s context. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Like I say, it doesn't mean much on its own because you have to factor in the enormous amount of money available from the TV deal. Their TV income went up from 7.7M to 110M when they got promoted. If they can argue that a net spend of 60M or whatever it was this year kept them in the Premier League then good luck to them. I'd be surprised if they broke even this year because presumably their wages went up again, but they stayed up, and that's the key achievement.

Do you understand that teams who are coming up from the championship have to spend money to even try and catch up with botton half premiership teams? You really can't use Newcastle as a comparison given our owner and the genius of Rafa. "Will Villa get 10th like Rafa achieved?" No. Because they haven't got Rafa. It's of no shock to any of us that our world class manager was the difference. Are you saying that rather than buying players they should have just sacked their manager and approached Rafa?
