Lange would know him as came through at Villa, kids a baller, wasn't happy when we sold him.
Now do wage bill. And ticket prices.
Wage bill in line with revenue.
Do they market ticket prices as guaranteeing a winning side? That’s outrageous. I always assumed you bought a ticket to watch the games but if they promised trophies for the price of your admission then it sounds like a class action law suit.
When such news come out, it means the player is leaving. Lol
Think this kid is really good. If they are going after him it probably means that the #8 they want ends up not being home grown.
with all the suggested out going players that are coming up from various football commentors we will need players in to replace them so where are they ? with the extra games this season (European matches) we need a strong second 11 to play many of these extra matches, our P1 must be getting CL football (it brings in money and players )
And after that, CEO salaries, boardroom bonuses, and trophies won since 2001
Now we are talking serial winners
Kinda like the Ramsey link, he's a very direct player, very traditionally English style, hard running with and without the ball. Like that he powers through players in midfield. Are Villa in enough bother with PSR to make this sale? I dunno. Does the player want to move instead of playing CL with his boyhood club? Doubt it.
We need a strong first 18 or 20 players squad plus other decent squad players as we will be rotating players in and out rather than playing a first X1 and second X1.
That way there is also competition for places, so less chance players don't try their hardest all the time.
Next season EL league stage will mean playing 8 teams, followed by round of 16, quarter finals semi finals (all knock out games home and away) and finals, so up to 15 EL matches, plus League Cup and FA Cup on top of 38 PL games - so its easy to see how we can end up with 60 plus matches next season.
And we struggled with a smaller squad (in reality starting last season with about 15 players competing for first team places plus squad level players) and injuries playing 40 games this season to which we've since added Dragusin, Werner and youngster Bergvall so still need a few more in.
You won't get a straight answer...
Is he Irish?Philogene is not my lover
We actually need a crazy amount of players in really unless we are hoping our current youngsters are good enough to plug some of the gaps. Probably about eight. Can’t see it happening though.
Realistically 5 or 6 in this summer window.
I think that's enough players in to replace the likes of Sessegnon who were in our first team squad but injury meant they played negligible part whilst upgrading most players who don't fit Angeball. Whilst not fixing every problem it will make the squad both larger and have more real first team competition - I recall Mancity upgrading their squad over about 4 or 5 seasons as even throwing money at their problems there not enough of the right players were available to do things any faster. Ange recognised that problem in saying it would take 3 transfer windows to make all the changes he wanted.
I think 25/26 we should see quite a few youngsters with loan experience being part of an extended squad, fewer candidates with experience available in 24./25 which is a little frustrating - but developing youngsters is a long term business.
If we were ever getting more than 3 transfers done (not including Werner) you’d think we’d be further along with at least one by now. Especially on the outgoings.
I guess they have to weigh up what’s on be market within budgets and where they will have to leave the squad short
So tomorrow is Levy day. 30th of June. All that season ticket money weighing his pants down to spend on grace C minus players. Thrilled.
Yep notice how the links are getting worse each week
I think we will sign around 3 players who will be expected to strengthen the first 11.(If we don't, we will go backwards)
And probably a few more to add competition that have significant potential.

Everton fans getting excited by signing Philogene.
would be funny if we signed him instead.
Wonder what the difference in level is between Philogene and Doue?
