Given also qualifies (though was only there briefly/on loan?). More distant past, Jeff Clarke & Pop Robson, I think, qualify/played for them first.

sushimonster85 Posted January 12 Share Posted January 12 1 hour ago, TRC said: Think we need 11 wins from the remaining 18 games to get top 6. If we scrap the Villa, Arsenal and City games we still have injuries thats 11 wins from 15. Its not pessimism its just clear what we need to do and its a big ask. I'm not even talking about this season. I'm talking about the next 2-3 seasons. Miley aside it doesn't seem like we have many homegrown lads coming through. Until we do Longstaff pretty much has to stay. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Prophet Posted January 12 Share Posted January 12 While it does seem like we've hit our FFP limit, particularly with the favourable COVID year dropping off at the start of next season, I have no doubt the club will be using the situation to overegg how bad our position is.

BoSelecta Posted January 12 Share Posted January 12 Quote Karim Benzema - Al Ittihad Could the France ace really return to Europe just months after leaving Real Madrid for Saudi Arabia? Don't rule it out, with reports in recent weeks saying he is unhappy in the Middle East. Benzema spent 14 seasons at Real Madrid and scored more than 350 goals in helping them win four La Liga and five Champions League titles, and notched more than 30 for the third successive season before moving to Al Ittihad. He has scored nine times in 15 league games since moving but, with Al Ittihad languishing in seventh, could he be tempted into the Premier League? https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/67957436 Bring him home.

Beth Posted January 12 Share Posted January 12 6 hours ago, aussiemag said: It seems we have to sell to buy. What would you be willing to sell each of our players for? Pope - 30 mill Dubravka - 5 mill Trippier - 25 mill Schar - 20 mill Botman - 80 mill Livramento - 60 mill Lascelles - 15 mill Burn - 15 mill Targett - 10 mill Krafth - 5 mill Dummett - Free Manquillo - Free Hall - loan Longstaff - 30 mill Miley - 60 mill Joelinton - 50 mill Bruno - 100 mill Willock - 40 mill Almiron - 20 mill Tonali - 40 mill Anderson - 30 mill Ritchie - Free Gordon - 70 mill Murphy - 15 mill Barnes - 30 mill Isak - 100 mill Wilson - 20 mill ————————— Total Value - 870 mill I’d be looking to sell Almiron, Wilson, Targett, Longstaff and Krafth. Dont renew Ritchie or Dummett. Bring in 85 mill pounds. Save 500k a week in wages. Sign a developing CB to backup Schar (30 mill) A starting RW (50 mill) A forward to replace Wilson (50 mill) Get Minteh back. A central midfielder that can receive the ball deep to beat the press. (50 mill) —————————————————- cost - 180 mill @ 36 mill per year. Can I have a pint of what you've been drinking please. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nucasol Posted January 12 Share Posted January 12 Just now, Beth said: Can I have a pint of what you've been drinking please. £60m for Burn, Anderson and the 5 months left on Lascelles’ contract, - sign me the fuck up to the crystal meth diet.

Fezzle Posted January 12 Share Posted January 12 (edited) 4 hours ago, aussiemag said: Our key players are Trippier, Schar Botman, Joelinton, Bruno, Gordon, Isak, Tonali (potentially). Almiron, Wilson and Longstaff are first team players. But not key. We won’t progress to a top 6 side with them playing regularly. Like eales said, £50m although asking a bit for those combined is effectively three £50m players and wages room so still pretty good. Obviously the homegrown issue is probably a bigger problem though Complete off the top of my head guessing fees but that's sesko/David, bakayoko, that kone/fofana sort of signings * *they probably cost more but my point is that it goes a fair way Edited January 12 by Fezzle Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

STM Posted January 12 Share Posted January 12 What I'm seeing is alot of politics and posturing. Don't be fooled. We will sign someone. There's been nothing to say we won't sign someone, that we aren't trying to sign someone and that the coffers are empty. There's a helluva lot of value in letting it be known that we haven't got a lot of money. I'm not saying it's a lie buts it's also a great bargaining tool. Whatever we DO have left, we will use to get Eddie the player he needs. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

TRC Posted January 12 Share Posted January 12 Really don't see why we are snubbing the Phillips loan price. Providing he stays fit he probably gets us into the top 7 which pays for the loan fee itself. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
SUPERTOON Posted January 12 Share Posted January 12 If we are using the FFP line to bring down prices, it hasn’t really worked has it ? I think we have paid market value or above for pretty much all our signings apart from Trippier. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
