We could do way worse than Weah for depth on the right. Especially for that little of money.

I am once again beseeching everyone to recognise Dibling as the starting RW for us 

Price is too high but if Southampton are willing to be reasonable (Tino Money) then it could make sense and we could bed him in.

The £100 million fee must be bullshit if they are prepared to let their number one keeper go out on loan to save his wages.

Was BS. Fee would be around £40million, even that might be too much.

You mean he isn't already on Wearside waiting to sign?

Honestly, I'm cured of this, Chelsea for me is much worse than what is being levelled at Man City, they cheated their way to financial freedom by circumventing PSR rules. Whereas Chelsea are already part of the financially free chosen teams that PSR was built to protect and yet they continue to cheat the system to fuel their greed by hoovering up every single player they can get their hands on.

 

I hope it all collapses around them and they flounder into obscurity. /rant

90s was amazing for random overseas transfers in Scotland. Rousset to Hearts, Sauzee to Hibs, Gilhaus playing for Holland at Italia 90 while an Aberdeen player, etc. 

 

 

 

It was nuts. Mark Walters, Michael Laudrup, even F*lkirk (utter scum in a can) signed Chris bloody Waddle.

Agreed

Chelsea are by far the worst of the worst

Man City are operating from a huge advantageous position but their scouting and generally how they operate is professional, efficient and slick. They don't tend to 'overbuy' - just identify what they need and just get on with it. It's always not the most obvious names either, so they have a good scouting network. 

Liverpool are also benefitting from being way ahead but again, they buy and sell pretty well. 

Chelsea are blatant and so boring. Tosin is actually a prime example - they did NOT need him at all. He wasn't better than their CB's and they only seemed to show an interest because he was free. 

Man U also operate with impunity - crazy level of debt, miserable transfer record but seemingly impervious to the damage. Dust worself off and go again. Any other club would be doing an Everton if they had even half the recent record of Man U.  

The way before was the young wonderkids would go to the second tier clubs, Leverkusen, Leipzig, Ajax, Villareal, Atlanta etc, establish themselves and then the big clubs would swoop but the money would be distributed. Now the hype is so huge that even the Barca's and Madrids are going for young prodigies like Roony and Guler. 

I'm sure if it was a free market, it would be interesting to see if Newcastle could spend their way to the top - even if it was organically, like one or two big players a season. Same with Villa, Spurs etc. Under Ashley, he never spent so competing was pointless. Now, we can't spend, so there is also a level of pointlessness here too. When you're hamstrung deliberately, footballers have short careers. Isak and Bruno were promised title runs - which probably could have been the case by now if we'd been allowed to spend. PSR then actually does its job even through the back door as the top players get impatient and want to play for the 'top clubs' already challenging... and then we have to start again

Man City were allowed to get their spine with no limit that led them to their PL - Aguero, KDB, Yaya Toure, Hart, Kompany. Chelsea ditto under Mourinho.

Caniggia at Dundee.

City hoard via Multi-club ownership but it's not to the degree Chelsea do. This Chelsea stuff is unparalleled. They've always done it uner Roman but not to this extent.
