Yeah can't imagine he'd be too interested in coming here and being overshadowed by Backstick Johnson...
Can you imagine who else we might have been able to get for a 60m fee? Painful to consider!
It’s been a long time since we landed any RM cast offs.
Donley should stay on loan where he can play regular men’s football as long as he can- I can’t see Spurs being stable enough to integrate him anytime soon.
Scary prospect- a summer of scraps unless we are able to find some unknown gems.
Champions' League ,(misnomer of all-time) or not, it feels like we will struggle to attract the players we need.
And we probably need 5 or 6 of a standard better than what we have in the various positions.
It's certainly hard to see how we bridge the chasm between us and the top 4 or 5 teams, with the paradox being we would probably benefit by not being in Europe.

He cost 45m though.
I don’t think the summer is going to be anywhere near as bad as people are making out. Every single club has staggered transfer debt.
I imagine we’ll do what has been done for the past few seasons. In and around £150m net.
The most important change will be the manager. The group of players we have shouldn’t be 17th in the league. The 5th most valuable squad in the Prem should not be 17th. Forest, by comparison are valued £350m lower and are 3 points off 4th.
Get a competent manager in who will actually bring a coaching team with him this time. Get rid of a few dogshit players, bring in some reinforcements and approach next season with realistic expectation. Leaguewise we’ve hit near rock bottom this season, only way is up.
Positivity chaps.

We’d be mad to let him go but I’ve been waiting for something like this with him.

There were rumblings one or two months ago about Mikey being hesitant about re-negotiating his contract due to lack of minutes and opportunities in the first team.
If Ange stays on I could see him considering a change of scenery.
More likely his agent applying pressure to make sure he gets more game time next season.
Moore will be on loan imo. Would like us to extend his deal if he goes to Dortmund.
He is on a 3 year deal so club has the opportunity to play and use him next season to show him a path.
Cant help thinking if poch was our manager he would turn him into neymar.
Dortmund's model is developing talent to sell, they're not going to develop Moore for us. No chance we would sell either, Moore will sign a new long-term deal with us when he turns 18 in August.

RealCoolYid low transfer fee, wages we won’t compete with
Yeah you know when I saw this I thought of you
When I questioned you originally for examples how high fees and how wages aren’t mutually inclusive …..it’s scenarios like this
suppose it occurs when a player out performs a release clause
Basically that was the answer … neither of us thought of it….. shame because it could have saved a painfully tedious exchange
If Man CIty get both Wirtz and Reijnders they may be willing to let McAtee leave - and he's player who could push Maddison for the starting spot as OCM.

Rodri, Wirtz and Reijnders is an insane midfield. If the pull that off could be the title.
I’d love to see Arteta’s tears if it happens.
