Would be stunned if we got rid of every single midfielder and replaced them all in one window.

this would not be necessary if we’d invested properly at the right times but at least it is being addressed and we will have legs again in the ‘engine room’.

We are not getting rid of these 3. They are bumming out on the club.
 
Thiago Alcantara is wanted by Barcelona. How much they are going to pay I don't know?
Again, big wages off the payroll, and £15m+ would be Brucie Bonus time.
they have a simple solution to that.

they say they will then forget all about it and ignore you when you ask about it.
Barca will wait till next summer.

They can't afford anyone, financially they ****ed themselves last summer (more so). They took what marketability they had left and splurged it on a load of randoms in the hope they'd win the CL, rebooting the club.

Cause they've got **** all money to spend, their new m.o is to wait for a players contract to run out and then sign them on wages the club can't actually afford.
The day will come when they have to sell Gavi, Fati and Pedri as they wont be able to pay them the going rate eventually, as their wage bill will be too high to offer new contracts.
 
Hendo obviously knows a lot more about the immediate future of the club and its intentions than we do, and perhaps he's aware that his playing time will be seriously limited with the new acquisitions and the young ones like Bajcetic coming through.
Given that, it's understandable that he might want to leave while he still has some time left in him. I have no problem with that, but I would be quite surprised and disappointed in him if he goes to Saudi - I'd expected him to be more principled than that.
But here I am jumping the gun just like most others, so I'll reserve any opprobrium until it's actually happened.

why?

the transfer team would be the equivalent of standing there minding your business and a billionaire drives by chucking cash out the window of their limo (which is powered on the blood of babies) and it hits you in the face.

Hall of fame.

behave.



Well... I mean, it was a joke... but OK! :)

I always say the same thing.

there's always another player. absolutely always

but Henderson for me is now persona non grata.

fabinho will be the same.


He made a decision I don't agree with and I think are a little poor... but wouldn't call him non-grata. He made a judgement error and my opinion of him has dropped slightly because of that.

My view of him overall is still favourable, just with an oily black smear on his record.
