Yeah I'd be okay with him deputising for whomever. Lose a first team player and you are diminished that's going to happen full stop. But commitment and bravery count for a great deal. Its why Djed Spence is in Italy and we have turned down a serious bid for Emerson. No team bar city have eleven backups as good as starters. I think people desperate to see Emerson gone will be disappointed you can hear Anges respect when he talks about him. I'm starting to fully understand Ange's philosophy, he values squad coherence and character over pure technical ability its why I've stopped whining about selling Hojbjerg. #BACKANGE
From Il Secolo XIX ( newspaper Genoa)

Spence 6,5

Good debut in the rossoblù for the Englishman in a match in which, in addition to technique, commitment and aqonistic malice are needed. At first he is a little shy, then he fits into the context well. He also improved in the second 45 minutes

That's useless without context though, please can someone post one of those star-shaped chart things showing me how Spence's aqonistic malice compares to that of our other full-backs? TIA.
 
Under the rules we could pay £370 million, but that would leave us no money for transfers, because the 70% includes both wages and transfer fees (and manager salary too, if I'm not mistaken). I don't think we will ever go there, though. Our current wages are around £130 million and I do not see us trebling that under any scenario.
Our current wages are around 200m. I didn’t say we would pay 370 but that it would be within the rules.
It is wages paid by the club , incl agents fees. That is all employees, not just players.
We will stick to the uefa rules as prob in Europe next year. It won’t be a problem to us,
Dont know if it’s better than current system, just easier to prove you are over the limit.
As an example, Everton were paying 95% of turnover as wages just 2 years ago.
If Chelsea get into Europe they might have a big problem.
 
Weirdly, I agree with sudoku here.

The whole point of having a good recruitment set up, is that you can churn the meh players and have immediate upgrades lined up.

Emerson and Davies are loveable pros, but not ultimately good enough. Take the money and trust the recruitment machine to replace for cheap. Well that’s how it should work anyway.
Both players provide versatility, and can perform to a high level in a number of positions. Players like that are rare.

Right now, both Royal and Gentle Ben are important players, they've proved that since our injury woes started.

I can see Davies going purely because of his age, but I do expect to see Royal in our colours next season at least.

Agree with this. In the past i'd have been more hesitant because we were so hopeless at recruitment, see Walker to
Trippier/Aurier/Doherty but they have seriously upped the recruitment and hit rate. Downside with Emerson going now though is only 9 days to replace him so think the summer would be preferable.
