Under this ownership, the vast majority of the players you mentioned were signed or given their current contracts. They only have themselves to blame for coming into a sport they clearly had no clue about (from afar at least) and would make you seriously consider why they owned any sports franchise prior to the takeover. Instead of further hurting the club, those who are really making the trades must eventually put their numerous errors behind them and move on. This may not happen in the near future, but if we were to win a major trophy (the Premier League or the Champions League), would we honestly use the Sterling deal as justification to keep this dated £150,000~ salary cap? With players like Van Dijk and Salah reportedly agreeing to £400k a week, it simply isn't practical at the top. There must, at minimum, be a compromise where players receive appropriate incentives, like goal bonuses, etc. Since Nkunku has been linked to a Premier League move, perhaps Arsenal can help us out again, just like they did with Havertz—for less money, of course.

I totally forgot about Guiu, which just goes to show we have options (like them or hate them) that seriously need to be offloaded before we do any business. He was actually linked to a loan move before Osimhen talk started to go around, so I would have imagine had Osimhen signed, Guiu wouldn't have remained here (probably would have been more beneficial for him too).

It really is. Nkunku pre injury would probably have seen Palmer stuck on the bench for the past two months.

He's contracted for another three years, so we're stuck with him. If he wasn't broken goods, he would be a handy plan b. Just look at his impact in the 4-4 draw at home V City.

I don't think we're going to sign two more CFs to challenge NJ and have Broja and Fofana on the books when we've been playing with one for practically two years in a row.

A huge win and very unlikely CS to boot. Nice to actually take advantage of switch in possession. Madueke & Trev deserve praise.

Caicedo gets lucky avoiding suspension only to end up at RB with Acheampong AND James both on the bench. George not being rewarded with a start is a joke as well.

I don't they'd do that with Penders on the books. If we do go for another GK, I could see us reignited our interest in Hermansen. A GK who just got relegated.

He won't be on the touchline after picking up a suspension, so we'll have to solider on somehow without the genius on the sideline. 😃

We've been banging the same drum for multiple seasons now. A CF with a proven track record is a must this season above all else. On the goalkeeper front, I don't see us going big for anyone. We'll have to settle for whatever is around until Penders is ready (should that day arrive).

Wow! It's worse than I imagined. I still remember our fixture against Arsenal last season where we were cruising until Sanchez decided to take the headlines.

If he seriously goes over there after hitting 30+ goals, he shouldn't be considered by any top club again.

It feels like years since we actually comfortably beat one of the top sides in the league.

Our CF....

You can always thank Arsenal for choking. The fact they've won the same number of league games as City despite everything sums them up. Liverpool will hopefully have nothing to play for when they face us.

In the last 24 hours, I've seen a lot of reports claiming that they've reached an agreement on a £40 million deal for Osimhen (Hojlund may be going back to Italy). It's hard to actually take these reports at face value, considering they don't really care if they are right or wrong. They just want to be the first to report anything & everything.

The way they are dragging their feet with announcing the outcome, I'm starting to feel the same way. If it were so cut and dry, they'd be following a similar fate to Juve.

Wouldn't it be better for all teams below Arsenal to be in the mix? More chances for us rather than just two considering City's favourable run after the cup semi.

Disasi still being fielded as a FB. He was done time after time against PSG. I'm not exactly thrilled by the result, tbh. A draw would have been preferred.

He was out from Feb to early April making this stat much worse than it already is. I'll keep banging this drum till the cow's come home - He's a WF.

Part of that "Mendes group", so I wouldn't be surprised if he made his feels known. He gave the Fulham fans what for after scoring as well. George & Josh has shown their ability in the Conference league. It's time they are given a run in the league with injuries/lack of options being an issue.

I almost mentality clocked off with about 20 minutes left, and thought it would be a miracle to score even one goal. It was significant that we were able to overcome a deficit and win our first away game in nine league games. I found it hilarious that after scoring, Neto swerved Maresca and ran to the bench. They should keep in mind that they are playing for the badge above anything if they really have something against him. The front four who finished the game should certainly start against Everton. Our squad issues could be problematic, though. Nkunku was left out for tactical reasons, Jackson almost playing out of necessity. Our RB situation is all over the place aswell. This right here is exactly why he needs to be gone in the summer regardless of how our season ends. Always tempering expectations rather than encouraging those at his disposal.

Tuchel was sacked for a reason. No top manager is a "Yes" man, so good luck with the wishful thinking under current ownership.

We need more than a new manager at this point.

It's like the squad don't even want to be on the pitch today. If Fulham get a second soon, we'll be on the end of a hammering.
