Defoe is still playing - 3rd time lucky?
Yeah I can’t see a really good signing coming in at all. I think 20m type signing or traore as you mention.
I was hoping Newcastle would over pay for someone like dele but I think even they are too wise!
... oh god, are you going to link to that Womens' team player too?
:contelol:
Not sure if that was a rhetorical question, but in case not, I believe he is adding together for each team the first 3 columns on this link:
Premier League - Transfer balance and five-year comparison
(Apologies if you knew that and meant it as a rhetorical question - just trying to help
).
Tick tick tick
This don't look good at all. You do not fuck with this man you do not bullshit him. He will walk.Different game different club. I have zero idea what the rules are in this world.
Not really, what happens if the starting Wolves player gets Covid tomorrow?
I’d also argue the biggest problem has been we haven’t sold which makes our net spend higher. Liverpool literally paid for Allison and Van Dijk with Coutinho because they weren’t scared to sell their best player at peak value. The on-field net is astronomical and the off-field was neutral. Another reason they are able to do this is because they have a great coach, with a specific system, who works with the board to sign players who fit the system. If you do that, you can spend less than top dollar and develop top players. Meanwhile we’ve had multiple coaches and no consistency in style of play. That said, our scouting and cheapness also sucks.
Actually, I think Newcastle will have a hard time signing players from premier league clubs. Let's face it, it's very good for all 19 other clubs that they go down.
Absolutely not, I think the womens game needs it's own forum and it should be taken there. Rather talk about Cricket and I fucking hate cricket.
Too right. I remember Berbatovs first game in a pre season friendly when he scored twice and the quality was just obvious. Who the hell was our last signing where you could see they just had it after about 10 minutes? Most of them are 'may come good' or 'squad player that can do a job' types.

originally quoted.There is some truth in that teams like City might not have needed to spend huge in the last 3 years, but not Liverpool or anyone else. They needed to spend if they were to maintain a title challenge and didn't and are now out of it, for the second year running. And the same logic can be applied in reverse to some of those teams that outspent us in that ten year period, teams that needed to spend huge to try and stay in the PL, and/or bridge a massive gap to teams like us duking it out for CL places (Everton, AV, Palace, WH etc etc).
Bottom line, we spend OK/good for a normal football model, problem is we haven't spent particularly smart the last few years. And to rub salt in that, others have wised up and improved their recruitment processes.
berbatov in the same bracket as defoe
Proper clown buddy for the elite Fortnite player and professional Tiktoker Dele Alli.
MoTM v Villa. Really kicked on from there and never looked backThink Ndombele came on and scored on his debut.
He’s 29, would want huge wages, doesn’t fit Conte’s structure at all and is in many ways duplicative of Adama Traore, but hey, at least he’s a bang average player :contefacepalm2:
Put him on ignore a while ago. the ranting and raving and endless conspiracy theory comments got too much.transfermarkt. See the link

I do feel as though potentially, big net spends are being reigned in these days. Teams like Barcelona, who spent the best part of $300,000,000 on Dembele and Countinho and are now crippled, show it's not sustainable nor a guarantee of quality and success.
