We got to be clever and get a few free transfers ( Jonathan David and Walker Peters, Angel Gomes) then a couple of big deals Mbeumo, Tapsoba, Trafford).. Will be an important Summer for us

For all the objection there'd apparently be to wage caps I fail to see how this isn't effectively the same thing.

 

Obviously if you wanted to implement the "fair" aspect of it you'd set the amount to the same value for everyone.

It is a club wage cap system.  Caps on individual salaries would be more of an issue

Yeah. I've proposed before you just have an overall wage cap rather than an individual cap. 

 

Think there was still people suggesting there'd be push back on that. 

 

But seems to me that's sorta what's been brought in by the back door a bit anyway. 

 

The unfairness being of course that the cap isn't the same for everyone.

Would be happy with all of those. That would be a perfect summer tbh.

I want to know that we've at the very least pushed like crazy for most of these, the free transfers especially. If we dawdle around again, missing out on good deals while emptying our pockets before Steve Parish for two months, I will lose my rag.

Free transfers don’t exist, and I’ve little concern re who the club targets.  They’ve got very few transfers wrong thus far.

They way things have gone, I can't see why we need a sporting director.could have saved Mitchell's wages. How can man city spend 176.1 and we spend 0 and loose 2 squad players as well.

Because a sporting director isn’t just a transfer wonk

We also had absolutely fuck all by way of a transfer infrastructure. Years and years of Ashley ownership meant we pretty much had one bloke travelling around Europe - largely a cheap trip to France - to dig out players with sell-on potential.

Lose has one o, for example Loser.

Given we need tonight to be a bear pit, I wonder if the club would consider wheeling out Mitchell before kick off and at half time. Really get the fans riled up.
