Feels like we weren't creating anything last season apart from Fernandes playing high risk/high reward passes. Our wingers were wildly wasteful. Fernandes has been abysmal this season as well. Not a great sign when your best player, captain and most creative player by far (who's just got a bumper contract), is one of the worst performers on the pitch.

It is a weird obsession within parts of the fan base to claim bargains all the time. If there's three reports of a fee or wage varying from low - mid - high in the news about a new player of ours, the low fee/wage will mainly be the one you find quoted on here. An example that springs to mind immediately is when we bought Trippier it was always an initial ~£12m with a reported significant add-on reported to be an additional £12m if we stayed up, but you won't see much of that mentioned here. Only that Trippier at £12m was a bargain. (I'd say £24m was well worth it anyway) Perhaps this is something that all fan bases does out of some sort of weird tribalism I don't frequent or read much on other teams social media platforms to know if it is.

Definitely something I do anyway. Love when a deal we do is considered a bargain, as it's a rarity Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
AyeDubbleYoo Posted 2 hours ago Share Posted 2 hours ago Football contracts aren’t public though are they? So all of this is based on leaks and speculation? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
