We still have to live within our means. Barca are head and shoulders above us at the current time with income and sponsorship. And thanks to Big Mike doing his best Scrooge impression FFP will not be an issue for at least a couple of years even without new sponsors Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Until we sort out further income anyway. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah…but we can’t just currently outbid every other team on the planet. If we buy Messi for his transfer fee and pay him a higher wage than he currently gets as people suggest, that’s practically our entire FFP leeway gone.

But we’re just not in a place yet where we can throw unlimited money around and out pay any other team - people have to be realistic for the current time.

I can't believe I have to qualify this statement - For the players we want and who would come here, we can outbid competition and I'm sure match wages. The slight amount of over the odds paid now will be repaid if they're quality enough to keep us up. Edited January 5, 2022 by thomas Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
gazza ladra Posted January 5, 2022 Share Posted January 5, 2022 If we do sign Trippier and Digne, does anyone think we'll be playing with three at the back? Provided that we bring in another CB. A bunch of Ifs there. Occurred to me with the talk yesterday that Simeone had switched formations to accomodate Trippier. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

He can play right back, left back, right centre back in a 3, right wing back, left wing back, probably comfortably on the right wing and let's be honest he would be our best centre midfielder given his passing range. IMO he will come straight in as right back in our current formation, Manquillo can go left back for now. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mazzy Posted January 5, 2022 Share Posted January 5, 2022 Don't know a huge amount about Vlahovic. So do people reckon he is actually worth €70m? Or is he just having a Michu style season where he can do no wrong? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't either but his stats are very impressive for a 21 year old in Serie A at non top 5 club. 43 goals in 96 league appearances and matched Ronaldo's calendar year goals total record for Serie A with 33. 16 goals so far this season.

Miggys First Goal Posted January 5, 2022 Share Posted January 5, 2022 I'm basically walking around with a smile on my face now. Even if we don't sign these players, the fact that we're even being LINKED with them is crazy. To think, at the beginning of October, where everything seemed lost and pointless. What a ride this is going to be. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
