Transfer Rumours Transfer Rumours thread

Beck was highly rated whilst on loan last year

 

You read it?

 

Was also shocked by rushing him back which was very annoying.

 

It's a fuking joke man city have not been dealt with yet by the prem.

Unlike others I don't give managers FM2025 style minimum expectations.

Anything can happen but if you play well and give your all how can we say that its not enough because someone else is just better.

We don't want a klopp 5th place but if we ended up as a klopp 2nd what can you do.

 

I wouldn't be calling for Slot's head if we got 5th.... it's just too hard to predict pre season. I think we've made positive steps and the other teams' transfers arn't filling me with dread. On paper I think we look good and have a decent chance of retaining the title and willing to call us pre-season favourites.. Of course, we've not seen how this new team gels yet. It may take more than a summer to gel.

I'd consider outside the top three to be disappointing, but not the end of the world.

 

I can't see Spurs or utd making top 4 and as for Newcastle, it depends if they can keep hold of Isak and also how they manage the league and European football. When teams aren't used to playing two highly competitive competitions, something has to give.

 

I think Liverpool, Arse and City are the "obvious" picks for most likely to be in top 4.

Chelsea probably the most likely for 4th but wouldn't rule out Villa or Nukes. Spurs and United I expect to both be something close to 7th/8th/9th..

 

I know I didn't.

 

End of an era...

 

I personally think ping pong will provide just as many

 

Hopefully.

 

It'll be fine.

We have hope.

That is a good thing.

Things to look forward to, things to analyse, things to rip the piss out off as well.

 

Rumours Eze has agreed personal terms with Arsenal......talks ongoing.

 

What do you think?

 

Winger/wide forward... just what Arsenal are lacking

 

Mental when you look at what Mourinho spent at Chelsea in this early years it was obscene at the time but it was £20-30m for all of drogba essien duff shevchenko carvahlo etc. the type of money that you spend now on any half decent championship player.

 

Inflationary football.

I can recall lazio being accused of it with a 100mil squad. Crespo, veron, Gascoigne, nedved, mancini under eriksen

 

Mourinho's £300mill spend would be equivalent today, to what, with today's fees? £1.5bn? £2bn?

 

He was at chelsea 2.5 years?

Let's say ambramovich had him tapped up and they agreed the likes of probably etc.

Crespo
Mutu
Duff
Veron
Makelele

All 20 mil in 2003

Drogba
Carvalho

Both over 30mil or so in 2004

Ferrero 20
Robben 18
Cech 10

2005 then
Essien 35odd
Swp

You'd equate some of those up to 100mil now I guess. 20mil to 40 to 50 mil anyway.

I would guess its not as bad as today's cheslea idiots but it must be the equivalent or.nesrly a billion?
