And they're trying to sign Sidibe who was at Monaco last season, Josh Browler from Blackpool and Cody Gapko as well. I reckon there A few more that aren't known to the press. I reckon they'll have 20 plus players by the end of Thursday.
I had the top 4 as Man City Liverpool Spurs Chelsea But I think Arsenal are going to be top 4 by the end of the Season. Possibly 2nd. I don't think Man City are as invincible as people make out. Newcastle managed to get 3 past them last weekend and they shipped in a few this weekend.
I don't give a **** about upsetting Joffy, he's signed a professional contract and should act like one. If better is available he should be fighting for his place. This goes for everyone in my opinion
Yeah they've got Haaland up front but they've had to come from behind in their last 2 days. Newcastle carved their defence apart last weekend. If Haaland gets injured or his form falters then it's bye bye top spot.
he is made of stronger stuff Not like Bamford and KP who is injured again what a good job we sold him when we did ,He has played 1 minute for City this season
Haaland missed 16 games for Dortmund due to injury last season. Season before, injury meant he missed 10 games, and season before that he missed 7 games because of injury, so it looks like he is becoming more injury prone. By the time he gets to Bamford's age, he might be managing to play one game per season
Spot on bucks. If he’s good enough he plays. Having a rep for giving youth a chance is one thing. Basing your recruitment strategy on the hope an injury prone (to date) young prospect has a ‘breakthrough’ year is another. It’s management by hope. Get yourself a balanced squad and what happens happens.
They need to stray up or these players must have relegation clauses, be that release or reduced wages.
I reckon they'll need to stay on for financial security. Lingard is on £200k a week. Gibbs-White cost them over £40 million. They've managed to keep their hands on Johnson. They've brought in so many players and they've spent over £130 million this summer alone. I reckon that they've taken out some loans to get this many players and I reckon they're not finished yet as they've not made the 25 men needed.
Someone please explain the logic in loaning him to Spurs or anyone. We've still a small squad and can't reduce it further surely
Think more people believe this was £25m wasted on a Bielsa whim, and that cash could have been spent better on a player who could have helped last season. Dan James didnt help and some could say compounded problems we already had by insisting on playing him even if out of position. I do see your point of view though Eire
It would only make sense for Dan James to go to Spurs if we get their LB Reguilon in return. They’re well covered in that position and he’s not getting a look in. We have no LB. None of any quality at least - and Reguilon is quality.
But we lose a player who, whether you rate him or not, is an important part of team/squad and we get nothing as he's going on loan at a time when were crying out to strengthen areas. Im not a bit impressed
Sell James. It was a poor signing. We are overcooked on the wings and we play with no wingers. Sell him. Buy a striker.
