Before he's sacked 10 more managers.Ah but he didn't say by when.
Semenyo or Mbeumo would be better, I think.
CP had the same headlock on Zaha....... They lost him for free.
When they were signed they were on top of the rage wages at the time. Both VVD and Alison were record signings for their position.
Wirtz is the same. Record signing and top top range wages.
But you knew that as well
Fair enough.
To me there still no hard rule about what signing would make fans happy.
We spent £60m on Solanke, who helped us win a trophy, but I dare say that isn't the ambition most want.
Most people weren't really impressed with the VDV signing but he's now one of our gems.
My point is that we all build our squads differently and we'll never agree.
There's more chance of John (
Honest John
) actually contributing some actual player targets.Wanted him before he went to Wham. He’d absolutely rip it up for us but Frank would need to talk him into working out of possession.
Is there not a football version of Klarna ?
He’d join Toney and Maupay on the dickhead amnesty list
Not a million years ago, we regularly finished above Liverpool and the Gooners (for 8-9 seasons I think). Then somehow, they are signing £100m players and stretching the gap to us, having easily overtaken us, whilst we made a lot of poor decisions.
Catching up is going to be really tough for us now, sadly, especially with our wage structure and the type of players we appear to be in the market for.
If they're only hoping to get €30m for him, then he's either very undervalued, or just not that good. Or maybe just on his last year of contract, I haven't checked his contract situation.
Salah was not on top wages being spent by City/Chelsea or United at the time. He was on about 120k a week, top players were 160k+ at that time, with Hazard being on 220k or so De Bruyne on 175k, Pogba 200k.
Salah's wages were closer to Lloris' than those players.
Allison was on 90k when he signed, less than Lloris, less than half of De Gea....
Mate - you're having a mare here.
Also:
Fellow "elite" clubs that the "elite" Man C recently purchased from:
Wolves, Lyon, Frankfurt, Lens, Palmerias, Troyes, R.Villadoli, Wolves, Rennais,
Fellow "elite" clubs that the "elite" LFC recently purchased from:
Leverkusen, Benfica, Puskas AFC, Valencia, Liebzig, Brighton, Stuttgart, Enidhoven, Fulham, Aberdeen,
Arbitrary, fan-concocted rules in being arbitrary shocker.
Oh I think he does. If we win the PL it essentially means the clubs value would surge a decent amount.... But is he hell bent on winning it that he's willing to financially put his balls on the line to try and get us seriously competing with the big boys?!?
Absolutely not.
He wants all the big rewards but without putting in the necessary risks to drastically increase your chances of getting there.
Pretty much..... He's seen us get close TWICE under his stewardship so believes it can be done; thus he's not gonna suddenly get in a cheque-book battle with clubs with bigger chequebooks.

Ederson is that guy I reckon.
A few stories cropping up linking us to Anton Stach from Hoffenheim. 6’4” DM. Had the 2nd most ball recoveries in the Bundesliga last season.
Have you a link to that IV? I saw the link somewhere earlier but I can't remember where.
