El Khannouss quickly becoming the most overrated player on here. Most people probably didn't even notice him in the prem last year. Don't let a few social media highlights fool you into thinking he solves our maddison loss
I'm a little surprised no one has proposed Eriksen yet
Bang on. Its a choice not to compete. I dont want us to "do a Leeds" but the ownership simply dont want to invest in ready made first team players like everyone else at the top of the league does. We can do it, its a CHOICE not to do so.It's the proportion of revenue that's invested in player salaries though.
We're 20th out of 20.
The obvious conclusion is that we could pay more, much more, to attract better players... but the club chooses not to.
So the obvious question is...where is all that extra revenue going.
We are a football club that doesn't prioritise the football team. Whichever way you look at or try and dress it up, it's a scam.
Oh he's definitely been mentioned.
I suspect that Gallagher will feature more for Atleti this season, now that De Paul has left for Inter Miami.
Of course.Think levy said in financial report or somewhere we dont have the money or owe 300m in past transfers. Were either skint or being stealthy when getting our targets.
I do think it’s a bit of both. The finances say there’s not much cash and Lange deals in a stealthy fashion. But the loans are better than out and out cash purchases.Think levy said in financial report or somewhere we dont have the money or owe 300m in past transfers.

He wasn’t even all that impressive in the game, the assists were two set pieces with some of the worst defending you’re ever going to see.It’s Sheffield Wednesday in the championship. The absolutely garbage Wout Faes scored, let’s sign him..
I watched the game. He looked pretty average to me. Didn’t even get on the ball that much. Two set play assists. First a miss hit? That bobbled across the floor. The second a corner.
Posted in the TF thread, perhaps better here...
Thomas Frank on the squad, and how close is it to being what he wants...
"I think that's difficult. I think that there's no doubt that I want, how can I say this, a big enough, small enough squad! You know what I mean?
It needs to be big enough and robust enough to compete in all four tournaments because that's extremely important, but I can't have too many players.
It's just so difficult to keep everyone happy, it is almost impossible, and then we also want to see if we can add in enough quality, but again, we don't want to sign players we don't think can really improve the squad.
Then I would rather wait to have the right talented players. I'm not here for the short term fix.
I want to build something that can last, so we need to think longer term, but of course we need to compete now. That's my thought process."
How much money is transferred to ENIC?Think levy said in financial report or somewhere we dont have the money or owe 300m in past transfers. Were either skint or being stealthy when getting our targets.
