brummie Posted July 12, 2023 Share Posted July 12, 2023 It's also worth pointing out that some of our better players cost us very little. Midfield options of Douglas Luiz, McGinn, Ramsey, Tielemans, Kamara - £18m the lot. Where we've spent badly, it has been the likes of Bailey, which hasn't worked out, and Ings, although we recouped 15 of 25-30m on him. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Expand He's in his second stint there I think. He left to go to the Telegraph and now he's back. Or maybe it was the Daily Mail, not 100% sure about it, but he's always been a wind up merchant first and foremost. He did do a really good article a couple of months back exposing how FFP was designed to keep the 'elite' clubs in power though. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
timeEd32 Posted July 12, 2023 Share Posted July 12, 2023 I hope they are always behind us but it would be incredibly refreshing if Newcastle and Villa, two historically big clubs, barged into the closed shop at the top. It’s really quite unfortunate Man City are who they are with Pep because if you take them out I’m not sure how you could possibly predict a champion, top 4, or top 6 right now.

Hanshithispantz Posted July 12, 2023 Share Posted July 12, 2023 Villa, Brighton and possibly West Ham if Moyes sorts them back out. It does feel like it could be a good year for the PL like, hopefully City falter to some degree. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

His style is more suited to cup football, don't think he plays aggressive enough to win enough points over a season regularly. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

GeordieDazzler Posted July 12, 2023 Share Posted July 12, 2023 (edited) This is the sort of shit I hate from Romano, proper suck up.
