The club look at hundreds of players and they will also know the squad needs some filling out, unless you want to see Ritchie etc in the bench again next season, so there could well be additions at good prices that aren’t straight into the first 11.

Smal Posted January 13, 2024 Share Posted January 13, 2024 I really don't see why we need to sell our best players unless they actively want to leave tbh.

Expand Nobody is saying that these clubs won’t face difficult periods in the same way that a club outside of the established six cannot climb in to one of the top six positions in the league for a season or two; however, the advantages that they have in terms of finances due to their standing in the English game when financial fair play was introduced will always give them more of an advantage to rise back to the top. That is what the problem is and why people are complaining about it. They see their natural position as being the top six with the likes of us, Villa, Leicester and West Ham as having a natural position of seventh to thirteenth.

Expand More financial power means nothing without the right manager and structure behind the scenes. Most of these top clubs throw away a hell of a lot of money and are far lazier and less inventive in the market because of their riches. I'm not convinced they have this great advantage people keep talking about. They are far more likely to blow £90 million on some current over hyped player than go for the £30 million player that isn't as hyped, but who the data is identifying as being a stud.
