By your logic, everyone who reaches their 30th birthday immediately becomes “over 30”. While technically and mathematically correct, it’s not how people actually think of how old people are. “30 or over” would be a better phraseology.
Maybe, but in this scenario we're considering who's going to be over 30 this season coming in the squad. As both Jack and Taylor will turn 31 during the season, I personally consider both to be over 30 in this scenario.
Yep, I’m sure that’s part of our thinking as well. Hopefully we’ll be shooting a bit higher but it’s a really difficult challenge for any mid sized club.
Our financial situation seemed so precarious due to the loan and some expensive mistakes (pre and post SR) that it might take a couple of goes to stabilise in the premier league. Hopefully not. But the gap now seems so large and the financial rules look quite toothless and quite easy to cheat unless the league come down hard on the shenanigans at the end of June (they won’t). We probably need to sell at least some people but it seems that unless it’s part of a clearly dodgy player trade to cheat the rules most clubs are being careful about spending
Another South American, good. I hope he's as nuts as Osvaldo and Lyanco, there's always room for a crazy man in the team IMO. please log in to view this image
**** me, transfer business must be slow when we start arguing what counts as >30. Have you guys not got anything more interesting to argue ovet
Interesting fact: Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain was born on 15 August 1993, which according to some, make him 30 years old.
Sounds like we want him for free when his contract expires at the end of 2024 and he’ll join in January, but Torino are happy to pay a fee for him now and sign him this summer.
Up and coming youth players are inexperienced and those with experience approaching 29 or above too old. yet the club shouldn't pay to high fees and wages for players? God help the scouting team!
