I really dislike rating transfer business out of 10 before they've actually played for the club.
4/10.
Easily clear 50M, bigger league format next season
Can almost certainly say Maddison improves us. I would think the keep does too, but the others may just be squad improvements. They are the right age tho so could become good players - TBC
I hate it when other rivals get rid of their deadwood
5/10 currently
7 or 8/10 depending on the new CB
reduced by 4 points for the Kane sale
boosted by 2 points for signing Orban/Eze.
So probably net out on 6 /10 if we use the Kane money well.
No issue with this if he signs a contract, even short term one.
If Kane goes, I think we will bring in another senior striker. Exactly how senior is a question mark?
The good news around having a bloated squad is that we’re not going to bring in 7 replacements. The money will be concentrated on fewer. I’d take the entire spend on a CB and another forward.
Not to piss on anyone's chips but there's no goals in the PL here. Europa Farmers Conference 3, English Premier League Nil.
Clearly, there are many that want to forecast the next big thing but
It was Galatasaray interested in Ndombele not Fenerbahce.
If anything, this is a good thing as Ndombele was Galatasaray's Fred alternative.
Does it make it easier for us to get top 4 and then past the last 16?
I'm all ears.
Courtois is hardly Edison
Unconvinced by the goalkeeper tbh, shades of Heurelho, like Madders (type of player we've needed since Eriksen left), Solomon is a player we should be aiming higher than IMO, Phillips is a punt on a talented youngster, haven't seen enough of VDV to say and Veliz is a player I can see the potential in massively, but is a big risk...really hope he settles well because I think he's a potential superstar.
They all seem a bit finance first as per usual, especially when you look at other business going on around us...it's a 5 out of 10 at best.
Maddison and Veliz the two I'm happiest about, but if we lose Harry it's all fucked anyway for me.
The point being is that he is trying to mitigate any possible comparison with Judas while at the same time making sure that he maximises his options.
I have no issue with that but someone needs to bring this to a close that is in the best interests of the club.
This works just as well for me but there have been a number of (mostly Turkish) reports linking him with Fener. At this point, I’d take money from Turkmenistan.
I thought you were weighing up the benefit of him staying and us qualifying for the CL to offset the transfer fee? I was saying we will clear over 50M in the CL regardless. We will play four home matches, that should generate 10M in net profit alone, plus UEFA money and TV
From 2024-25, all teams will now play eight matches (instead of six) against eight different opponents, with four home ties and four away. All 36 sides will be ranked in one single league table - three points for a win, one for a draw and none for a defeat
I only point out the very large assumption that we make the CL next year. Even with Kane.
Thereafter our progression is entirely theoretical given that we don't know the draw or even what our team looks like.
Assumption upon assumption upon assumption to mitigate the 100m loss that we will make. Happy to be wrong and if I am, the beers are definitely on me.
No one can possibly rate the window until the end of the season.
If we get top four and they've contributed, it's a 10/10. Simple as that.
People on social media were calling the 2019/2020 summer window a 10/10 and look how that turned out.
