Skeletor Posted June 27, 2024 Share Posted June 27, 2024 There's two tiers in the Sky 6. Tier 1 being Man City, Arsenal and Liverpool and Tier 2 being Chelsea, Spurs and Man Utd. Given we've been in amongst all those teams and we're richer than all of them, there is no reason any of the Tier 2 clubs should be able to take any of our players.

Abacus Posted June 27, 2024 Share Posted June 27, 2024 I tend to think of it as a good thing that other clubs are interested in our players. Whilst they can obviously get stuffed, it shows we're doing something right and it feels good that we're seemingly not prepared to budge. And also that there are no stories about the players themselves or their agents rattling on about "dream clubs" etc Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Expand I agree we shouldn't be selling any of our players to them clubs, at the same time though we are never going to be pay the wages they can and at the end of the day that's what matters to the majority of players . Man United and Chelsea for example don't even need champions league football to attract players due to the wages they can pay . Thats why when people say we have spent 400 million or whatever we should be top 6 it's not that simple , our wage bill will be far far less than any of them clubs so Eddie is performing miracles getting us to compete with them really .

I'm sure no one at the club likes it, but the PL are doing everything in their power to keep the scales balanced in favour of the cartel clubs. Not that much of a surprise since they've bankrolled the PL for the past 20 years so they have more clout than is let on publicly. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

M1tche Posted June 28, 2024 Share Posted June 28, 2024 The answer should just be "no deal" regardless of what's offered Can't believe a few are suggesting that there is a price this summer, Isak is key to the champions league push, if we fail I'm that and he has a similar season to last, he'll be worth even more. Which, then allows for a rebuild, if he wants to leave. I don't think he will though, I think we've got 2 seasons minimum, as long as we nab any European spot through the league or win a cup Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
