Decky Posted February 2 Share Posted February 2 3 hours ago, The Prophet said: More of that continental value. Needing a team rebuild this summer after what they spent last summer is wild. Suppose the rest of us in the league will have to make do with player sales and a net spend below £100m. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sir Joel Inton Posted February 2 Share Posted February 2 £60m for a 20 year old from the French league is as mad as when Man Utd paid similar for Yoro and he’s been a disaster so far. Hopefully the same goes for this one too. Carr, Ashley and Pardew would be mortified with the sums being paid to the French league in 2026. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Optimistic Nut Posted February 2 Share Posted February 2 1 hour ago, Doctor Zaius said: A PL team signing Adam Armstrong is the most 'preparing for the Championship' signing ever like. Reckon he'll look abysmal and score 1 PL goal between now and the end of the season before notching a healthy 16 next year on their way to promotion. Has he even been any good in the Championship this season? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sima Posted February 2 Share Posted February 2 1 hour ago, Pilko said: Think he made him captain when he came in, didn't he? Feels a bit odd he's gone back in for him as my recollection was that he was absolutely crap in that relegation season apart from that weird final day against Spurs when it was all over. Was a result when he had a few average-decent games in the Euros so we got £35m for him, mind. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
leffe186 Posted February 2 Share Posted February 2 5 hours ago, Yorkie said: £60million for a young player with barely a season under his belt in Ligue 1. Heavens to Betsy. If I knew any better I'd say that the cartel clubs are happy to inflate the market beyond the reaches of the likes of us. That's even more than what Man Utd paid for Yoro a couple of years ago, who is no more than a work in progress. Yorkie man, you do know better than that. They’re not deliberately paying more to raise the baseline prices . Seems a lot of money but presumably they’re fighting off interest from every big club in Europe. They obviously need a CB to replace VVD and build the defence around and I guess they figure he’s a sure thing. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I didn't say they were doing it deliberately but they might recognise the silver lining of paying through the nose. It completely distorts the market.

Famous Nick Posted February 2 Share Posted February 2 rivals wont stop spending big. expect big summer from City, Man Utd, Chelsea, Liverpool, Arsenal again. if Villa get into CL then they will add some quality too. us with not getting into CL wont have transfer kitty unless we sell 1-2 of our best players but then we need to replace them with just as good instead of actually adding and improving the squad to reduce the gap. which as last window showed we struggle with as we effectively replaced Murphy's pretty good G+A with Elanga's poor output etc. PSR is working wonders as planned to keep out clubs unless there is unexpected dropoff from Sky 6. I bet Arsenal, City, Liverpool, Chelsea, Man Utd wouldnt not mind them sharing top5 in most years with 5th almost always being a CL place too. and they will imo as they need really poor managerial performance not to be in top5 if other 15 sides are limited with PSR.

You can't keep coming out with this line whenever you've dropped £200m+ on attacking players in the summer and they barely have double figure goal involvements between all three of them. That's on the manager,. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Give it a rest man Yeah, nailed it really. When the 3-4 top players on our list go to Chelsea, Liverpool & Man Utd who have the PSR power to blow us out of the water in terms of wages, and then have the power to spend £110m plus to unsettle and then sign our one elite player, this argument is 100% valid.

Wissa - £140k Woltemade - £130k Ramsey - £120k Elanga - £100k You'd think these lads are on £20k a week the way you boys get on. You pay big fees and big wages.

AyeDubbleYoo Posted February 2 Share Posted February 2 (edited) Man U pay roughly a million pounds a week more in gross wages than we do FFS. I know wages data isn't exact, but that's enough for 10 players on 100k each Our wage bill is about 8th. Edited February 2 by AyeDubbleYoo Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
