Lots of clubs scrambling for them, Bournemouth, Brighton, Burnley and Leeds all shopping for the same players and that’s just the EPL
Yeah the fee is steep but I guess that's what happens when you're clearly desperate. I'm a bit of a Gyokeres sceptic personally. Great goal record in Portugal but a load of penalties and poor defending. Not sure he'll get the space he needs at Arsenal.
Have they been fertilising the money tree? A few months ago every odd job bloke and his assistant was getting sacked there to stave off financial Armageddon. There must have been millions of them! Now it's taps full on again. I know they would have had a budget, and that they have reach others will never have, but they do seem to defy financial gravity!
Exactly so Worth saying that if everyone who has a serious interest, goes occasionally and is still able went all the time, the numbers would be mind boggling. Some come, some go, some come back again, some start etc. But they all feel it. The most important thing for me is that ST holders are looked after with a bit of a discount for renewing early, and that they always get preference for such things as Wembley days.
He's a Spurs legend and one of the best players in the Premier League over the last decade. I always remember a thread over the road about a year after he joined Spurs where people were calling him ****e and that they'd only have him at Sunderland if he was available for about £6m. I think someone at the time was arguing that Okazaki from Leicester was a much better player. Shows how much football fans know about the game generally.
You’re right. As supporters we generally don’t know anywhere near as much as we think we do. It still doesn’t stop us though!
I think they were saying because they sold players last year that they had quite a bit to spend under the rules this year. We'll see. They've been having a lot of trouble closing deals, so nowt is done until it's done with them currently.
Has form for cutting the overheads to minimum on his businesses and focusing investment in the assets. Just doing Jim Ratcliffe 101.
Aye, he has that form.But almost all the money at Utd is on players wages. He was just feeding rid of relatively small fry. I think they are goosed myself. Going backwards every year, then a reset, then backwards again.
Maybe not. But they should flex their muscle and make him stay. It will be a test of the Saudis commitment IMO
Expecting to see a bit better for them as dressing room and training ground get less toxic. Amad and Fernandes would walk into most teams. Mbuemo seems to have right attitude to. Think they’ll score goals so will be in scrap for a europa league place.
