Squad evolution

After all this time Pep still had one player he inherited. It’s taken him a lot of time to mould the squad.

Arise sir Eddie.

 

City don't have to follow rules

So we will never manage this like they have.

We go 1p over the limit and we will be smacked with a deduction

The current working theory in football is not transfer expenditure = trophies

But wage expenditure = trophies.

Heard Ashworth mention it in the doc.

 

Eddie can hang on to Joelinton and Willock who he inherited. And Schar and Murphy for now.

Goodbye Wilson, Laecelles, Krafth, Murphy, Dummett and Ritchie in the summer. And all the clowns on loan that we forget are even still at the club.

Our transition has been rapid.

 

Spot the mistake

 

You're obviously feeling conflicted about Murphy...

 

This is precisely why the Premier League are trying to make PSR related to squad salary costs which will further cement the big 6s security.

 

Lol, first Murphy was meant to be Miggy.

 

But what is the big 6 now? Cos Chelsea ain't there anymore.

 

It's revenue based

 

And now salary based. And set in ****ing stone, it would appear.

Be good if Villa can infiltrate as well. Anything to break it up. Chelsea just aren't big, had a purple patch under Roman where they bought everything (no FFP), but have reverted to type. Spurs were well steered for a while but again aren't huge, no bigger than Villa. Once stadium plans are announced we'll have enough about us to regularly be in the top 6 places.

City's relegation will help an'all...... and there's peaks and troughs everywhere. Football's cyclical. We'll see what the next cycle looks like, but I suspect we'll feature heavily in it.

 

So all we have to do is pay Murphy, Ritchie and Lascelles three times as much as we currently do??

I read the stadium whether it's a new one or expanded is 10 - 15 years away until completion.

 

Apparently Hendrick on £50k/wk and Fraser on £70k/wk

Shift those two alone and there's one quality incoming players wages covered.

 

Krafth is on 80k or was when he signed.

 

At least Krafth had made a fairly positive contribution when he's been on the pitch, unlike those other two knackers

 

I agree, but he's a top earner.
