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...

TRon Posted July 12, 2023 Share Posted July 12, 2023 Just now, Ben said: The Gerrard experiment must have cost a few quid. Amazing they have turned things around so quickly given how the wheels were falling off within the space of a few months of him taking over. To think Martin Samuels actually published an article in the Times how we'd missed a trick by choosing Howe instead of Gerrard with his big name connections.

Think he spent about 80 in total on 7 or 8 players Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

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. Anyone with half a brain knows that Man U and definitely not Spurs would bid anything near that amount. Just pushes the whole Barca deserve everything because they are Barcelona narrative.

The College Dropout Posted July 12, 2023 Share Posted July 12, 2023 8 hours ago, Toon88 said: £24m for Mitrovic is an insulting offer really. I think he’d want to go, just seems that kind of character, and seeing Milinković-Savić going there, probably seals that decision. For Fulham, he’s the heart of that team. I wouldn’t sell unless they were offering near £50m for him. Do we have a sell-on? Sure we do? £70m PIF please Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
