they'd be in serious trouble if they tried it.

Not from authorities, they'd just have all kids playing to fill in when 4 or 5 player s(as is normal) are injured

the average squad size is over 40 but the average premier league squad names is about 23

Our prem squad was officially 23 players

we have 60 u21s and underage players.

Elliott, bajcetic, carvalho etc would fall into the 60 players along with loads who went on loan etc.

If you tried to only have 17 senior players and the rest u21 it might be very short order that you run into serious injury problems.
Soooooo........you do need a certain number?...............or you don't?

He's saying no, you don't.
Not officially, but your squad will be pants if you fill it up with kids after your foreign contingent allowance is used up.

Gvardiol would be a huge signing but feel like will be too expensive this summer. Talk of around £90m for him and given the need for midfield reinforcements, can’t see us spending that big on a defender.

Thought I'd read he was out of contact this summer
 
guys.

50mil.budget in cl.

50mil drop in revenue from not being in cl.

let's all focus on how good Curtis Jones is and how we just saved 100mil

Same **** everytime with fsg.

Cl winners, no money

Record revenues, no money

Prem winners, no money

Cl runners up x 2, no money

Tight ****s

And just when John Henry was going to smash his £25m net spend per year average. <cry>

It might very well have been a case that Jude wasn't going to come to us anyway if we don't have CL football. We might have been his preferred destination if all other things were equal, but he surely wants to play at the top.

we were never anything of the sort.

I bet him and trent and hendo were having lots of laughs about how stupid people were thinking it.

I bet all those jokes about hey jude and such were all deliberate rubbing of noses in the Internet stupidity.

I've no doubt that he and his family were, regardless of CL football, but I think FSG thought there was some clause or something and that there'd be no bidding war (and that he'd take half the wages he'd get at City of Real).

Well all that being said if you say about last summer and saw a player taking off in terms of career but said ah no let's wait till after the world cup and that then you'd be very very foolish.

his price has probably had 50mil added in 12months.

Think FSG look at situations like that and think "We could buy now for £50m and make another £50m when his value doubles in a year - or we could save £50m by waiting a year till he's too expensive for us to buy anyway". It's basically how ****ing accountants ran businesses in the recession and earned themselves bonuses.

if your club was psg and you monopolise the league then sure it makes perfect sense to keep the 50mil for yourself each year. the problem is now fsg have the oh **** moment that they've saved the 50mil and have just cost themselves at least that in revenue by not being in the cl.
