DeZerbi is fantastic but don't count on him being here longer than 2 or 3 years. The club has to make sure they do the best for him and trust his judgement on players in and out but they also have to keep an eye on life beyond DeZerbi

I was having a conversation about this last night with my son and by all accounts, Barca earned 55m (euros) for winning La Liga whereas we got £138m for nearly getting relegated?!
And watching the game last night, a European final, Rayo's second biggest signing ever cost 8m.
That's why the EPL is so powerful and competitive now, money.
Even the smallest PL clubs can easily outspend most clubs in Europe apart from the very elite and if this sort of financial disparity carries on...?
How many more levers can Barca pull? What happens if PSG's owners get bored, or turn their attention elsewhere?
If the German league and clubs decide to stand up to Bayern?

Scary thing is Im quite sure most of these are grown men
I obviously didn't want us to go down but the one thing I was looking forward to about it was a squad reset which probably would have included lots of our youngsters.
Was looking forward to seeing what they could all do.
Brilliant we've stayed up but would still like to see Vuskovic, Moore and Lankshear given a chance.

3rd striker in a one game a week season won't play. So even if I would like to see him. I think he will develop much better, playing games. Middlesbrough would be perfect. They want to play football and need a better striker.
Of course its worth investigating.... but....
...we play 19 league games a year there. Some weeks we dont play there at all
If it were a repetitive use kind of thing, surely the training ground would warrant a closer look - considering they spend hours there day after day?
Personally, while I agree its worth investigating, I think itll end up being nothing to do with the injuries.
I saw something the other day that said our injury issues could be a symptom of constantly changing manager too much. I understand it to a degree, new manager comes in, demands more fitness, more sprints, does or doesnt warm up the same... could be a thing. But then I couldnt help really focussing on Ange, and I wouldnt be at all surprised if we were still paying the price for his kamikazee management
He better not
I think our goals rests a lot on De Zerbi's coaching, he managed to get 72 goals out of Brighton in 22/23.
Also Liverpool got 60 and they got into the CL places this season so maybe you don't need that much.
Saw a tweet last night, no idea if its true or not but apparently
Wolves will get something like 117m for getting relegated
Inter get 14m for winning Serie A
Surely that cant be true?
Eichhorn and Finkle, Finkle and Eichhorn.....
Either you know what I mean or you don't.
Haha no that is nonsense, Italian teams get TV money even distribution, merit payments and popularity payments. Inter finishing top would have taken hom around €85m
We are bringing on 5 subs most matches and it is usually attacking players that come on. We cannot assume the injury crisis is over and must assume there will be times when a striker is injured. This is when we need a young player to step up and get mins towards the end of games. We have been out of the cups for some weeks and playing 1 match a week yet not had a striker on the bench. The club must come before development of players and we cannot leave ourselves short again.
Probably originated here

I've heard of him obviously....see my fast show reference.....didn't know the song though...fair playnot really a jazz guy are you?
He was superb last night, in the first half especially but did fade a disappear for a while in the second.
Fantastic vision and ability but I do have some concerns about his fitness and mobility, and the fact that he doesn't seem to be a "natural athlete".
It sounds almost harsh but I'm almost thinking that there's a touch of the Huddlestone about him.
Which big clubs are chasing Kroupi?
Hes still a bit unproven for a PL CF. And on the small side. Maybe he’s Julian Alvarez mixed with Jermain Defoe. Maybe he’s not
I don't think it's the plates shifting, more a concern about the depth of the turf not being sufficient to provide enough cushioning.
Not something you'd expect to be an issue with Levy fastidious attention to detail but 4 acl's in a year needs to be looked into, it's not normal.
I don't necessarily prescribe to the stadium pitch being an issue but there's an issue somewhere and it's good that they're investigating it.
I think De Zerbi used young players at Brighton …Hinshelwood, Buonanotte, Ferguson.
