Ok thanks re Walker.
And yeah, a massive NO to KWP.
How'd you think we solve that issue, though?

I mean, if youre 12 I guess it was a great gag
Don't disagree that he's been a let down - his sending off at Luton for diving was a particularly low point for me - but he was a massive part of that trophy win so I'll focus on that.
He needs to go. He has been disappointing on the whole and I'm not sure he's a character I'd have in the changing room. But why focus on negatives and hate?
Wish him well. Take the money. Move on.
Why do you fail to understand that playing 60 games in a season versus 40 odd has significant consequences for players, form, injuries, productivity and the rest.
Most of your posts do not recognise any understanding of that basic point.
Let alone your ill informed idea that Son is only worth 8m
Yves Piss-ouma
Better but could be a positive - as in 'He finds controlling the midfield a piece of piss'.
You don't want that ambiguity in your clever school yard name-calling.
“Outrageous”?!? On behalf of our beloved Chairman Mr Levy - How f’in dare you sir! Post-Ndombele - Nobody is or will be on high wages much less “outrageous” wages at our club EVER AGAIN! You owe our beloved Chairman an apology - So let’s f’in hear it.
You don’t get the trophy for MOST FiNANCiAL SUSTAINABLE CLUB in the league paying “outrageous” wages!
To win anything decent you need a 3 galatcticos in attack.
Ronaldo Benzema Bale
Messi Suarez Neymar
Mane Salah Firmino
Rooney Ronaldo Tevez/Berbatov
Haland Mahrez De Bruyne
Kane Son Eriksen---even though we didnt win anything you get my point
Woolwich only have Sakha
Liverpool have Salah and Wirtz
They both still need more to win a CL.
As for Spurs do we even have 1 good attacker? Is Mbuemo gonna be that guy?

This season we'll just have to rely on a couple of the youth players for extra depth,keep Moore and Devine around. Next season (26/27) Gray and Bergvall can count as List B which will open up a couple more slots and Devine and Scarlett will class as club-trained if they're still around. Pretty much fixes itself now because of who the club have brought in.
Can't see him turning down Saudi money. His biggest contract was 6m a year, 3m after tax and hes 60 odd.

They wont be able to afford both
Dream move is Ange at Al Hilal and bidding whatever it takes to get Son.
Everyones a winner. Saudi get coverage in Asia and Australaisia. We get rich.

No. Because he’s club trained. To simplify, for UEFA comps like the champs league you get a squad of 21 players + 4 club trained players to a max of 25. We only have 1 club trained player in Austin. So signing KWP effectively takes our squad up to 22.
There really is no downside to re-signing KWP for free unless you want to fill the other 3 spots with Kane, Winks, Skipp, Parrott etc. It simply gives us more depth even if he never plays.
He ain’t going anywhere if no-one has cash. He is easily £70m player and probably more. It makes more sense to keep him and let him go on a free if needed than take some lowball mess of an offer.
Every teams needs useful youngsters who can put in a shift either coming off the bench or stepping in for unavailable first team players. Noone is going to have a Ribery level player happy to sit on the bench. 30 mil is not much of a fee for a player these days
Agree with all your saying except the bold bit. Banks love loaning money to clubs given the steady revenue streams. However banks require clubs to take insurance on players in case of injury that affects value.
Ever wondered why new players being signed fail medicals like Nusa did with Brentford? It’s not the club medical team who fail them, it’s the insurance company. They deem the existing condition or conditions to be too great a risk to insure and the banks and/or club don’t want to take the risk of the signing uninsured.
