Optimistic Nut Posted July 6, 2021 Share Posted July 6, 2021 They’re clearly in the shit yet go handing out huge contracts to the likes of Depay & Aguero. If they’re skint, don’t sign anyone, sell players, use their B team players in the first team squad. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
mrmojorisin75 Posted July 6, 2021 Share Posted July 6, 2021 I mean the new dudes are trying to manage the mess no? If they ship one or two players it's all sorted, no big deal. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

mrmojorisin75 Posted July 6, 2021 Share Posted July 6, 2021 Yeah I just read that entire thread, and yeah they're totally fkd And based on that agree they shouldn't have been agreeing contracts with anyone. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mikky Posted July 6, 2021 Share Posted July 6, 2021 Just bear in mind figures yet to include new Messi contract (I reckon at least 30m a year) Griezemanns contract means he gets a decent salary increase every year Coutinho (enough said) They basically need to restructure their debts which I thought Laporta had done Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aguero is on 6m a year after being on 23m a year at Man City. Juve offered more to Depay and Wijnaldum turned them down because PSG offered far more Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s a hell of a lot more than tying a youth player down for that position, which they should be doing whilst in the financial position they’re in.

Wonder if there's a date by which they've got to be under and what the punishments are. NFL teams do this, run heavy over the salary cap but as long as they squeak under it by a certain date no bother. Standard practice really. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

That’s huge when in the situation they’re in. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

mrmojorisin75 Posted July 8, 2021 Share Posted July 8, 2021 What use would it be giving Bacon players like Eze & whoever this kid is though? At least Hodgson was a good coach and did well with Eze. Bacon would hook them in a heartbeat and throw them to the wolves. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

In a Venezuela match whoever it was said of Venezuela striker Dolgetta "they call him 'Dolgetta the Gol Getter'" even at 14/15 I thought "bullshit - that that would translate into Spanish and rhyme" Courtesy of google translate "the Goal Getter" = "El conseguidor de goles" "Dolgeta El consequidor de goles" doesn't have the same ring to it Edited July 8, 2021 by Wolfcastle Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yorkie Posted July 8, 2021 Share Posted July 8, 2021 We've signed highly rated teenagers from the Championship in the form of Murphy and Lewis tbf. Lascelles and Darlow too, going not that far back. At a push Toney. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
