Vesper

lets us all hope you are right!!! I am a cynical bish at heart so love to be suprised by humans doing the right thing

If he doesnt renew soon he is going to Bayern. His cuntish brother has played us HARD.

Fuck Alonso. He and Willian should have been sold in 2018. £90m or so flushed down the shitter after Willian leaves on a free and we get around half for La Tortuga versus his 2018 valuation.

I LOVE our womens team!!! One of my biggest regrets in life was my massive growth spurt at 13, 14 years old (went from 1.70m or so to 1.83m in a little over a year and a half) that fucked up my knees and forced me out of footie (not that my scrawny arse could have coped with higher level balling)

and when he walks on a free, it is £65m down the shitter add that to the £55m or so we lost on Hazard and the £40plus million we lost on Cuntois via non sales when we KNEW they were leaving plus the almost £70m we shit away on Donkeywater (probably now around £60m due to his loan) plus the £30m (or more) we lost not selling Alonso and Azpi in a timely fashion and that's £250m in cash lost shit adds up fast, a quarter of a billion quid fast £250m gets you MBAPPE (or damn fucking close)

HARD PASS on Santo we hired the right man for the job Lamps will learn from his mistakes on the job, so of course it will be a rough n' bumpy ride at times but we are so moving in the right direction only players I am really unhappy with are Azpi and Zouma, and we have the fix for them as soon as Reece and Rudiger get healthy

You are cherry-picking seasons Mane's 10 and 15 goal years were his first ever top-flight seasons in a major league Zaha scored zero and 4 goals his first 2 top flight seasons, and had TWO league goals in 34 EPL games his third, 6 EPL goals in his first 79 EPL games (and he was hardly a teen, he was 21, 22, 23yo) He is still far from setting the league on fire, since those first 3 years, he has 26 league goals in 102 games plus 5 non EPL games and in those 5 games he scored zero goals in them I cannot recco Zaha for £80m. It is an outrageous over-valuation, especially as we would only get 2 full sub 30yo seasons out of him.

Not really, Mane was already superior, plus Mane was only 22, 23, 24yo at SOTON, (we would be buying a soon to be 28yo Zaha if we buy him in the summer) and he already had big scoring years before that (granted in a small league). Up until last season (and 10 goals all comps is hardly a massive haul, Pedro had 13 last year) Zaha had never scored in double digits at top-flight level, nor even in the Championship. Mane Zaha

CIES Football Observatory Monthly Report n°47 - September 2019 Financial analysis of the transfer market in the big-5 European leagues (2010-2019) https://football-observatory.com/IMG/sites/mr/mr47/en/ 1. Introduction Since its creation in 2005, the CIES Football Observatory has been monitoring the transfer of players through information published by clubs and the media. The 47th edition of the Monthly Report analyses from a financial perspective paid transactions having taken place since 2010 which involved teams from the five major European championships: the English Premier League, the Spanish Liga, the German Bundesliga, the Italian Serie A and the French Ligue 1.. In four chapters, the study analyses the sums paid in transfer indemnities by big-5 league teams, the clubs and championships who benefited from these investments, the net balance sheets for both teams and leagues, as well as inflation observed year by year since 2010. The latter is calculated on the basis of the exclusive CIES Football Observatory transfer value algorithm. The figures published in this report include fixed indemnities for permanent transfers, eventual add-ons, as well as sums invested for paying loans. The amounts paid in the case of loans with an obligation to buy are computed for the year of the transfer. Within the limits of the information available, the data on the beneficiaries take into account the resale percentages negotiated by former clubs. 2. Investments A new record for spending was recorded in 2019: €6.6 billion. This sum is almost a 10% increase over the previous record of 2017. In ten years, the investments in transfer indemnities carried out by big-5 league clubs have grown by more than four times. In only two cases, in 2012 and 2018, were the amounts paid out less than those for the preceding year. Figure 1: big-5 league club transfer fee investments € million In 2019, a new spending record was established in three of the leagues studied: the Liga, the Serie A and the Bundesliga. As for the previous nine years, English clubs invested the most for the recruitment of new players: €1.9 billion. Over the last decade, transfer indemnity investments of Premier League teams accounted for 35.8% of the total measured for the big-5. This proportion has decreased since two years in line with the decision to close the summer transfer window before the opening of the season. Figure 2: transfer fee investments by league € million The rankings of clubs having invested the most in transfer fees since 2010 demonstrate the incredible financial clout of a handful of dominant teams. While no club has spent as much as Manchester City, eight other teams have invested more than a billion euro over ten years. All of the Champions League finalists since 2005 are part of the twenty teams having spent the most over the past decade. Figure 3: transfer fee investments by club (2010-2019) € million In 2019, three Spanish teams were at the top of the rankings for clubs having spent the most on transfer indemnities. This finding reflects a cyclical need for squad renewal, but also the availability of considerable financial possibilities linked to the establishment of the Spanish top division as the second most powerful league on the planet after the English Premier League.

Any article that uses ZOUMA as an example of why we do not need to upgrade at CB is

so MUCH this!!!!!

Renato is on serious drugs, they think the Campeonato Brasileiro is the 4th best football league in the world, roflamoooooo

it was that particular type of knee injury, they take a LONG time to fully heal and for the player to fully come back to form (if they ever do, see Zouma for example of a player NOT yet back, and probably never will be FULLY) this Emerson is the Emerson I loved in Roma

lol, I think we posted this at the exact same time or very close, you beat me to it, sawwwy for the dupe

at least £80m, which is the max I would pay, if we are talking £100+m for a winger that means Sancho (who may cost well over that, perhaps close to Sterling level quid, eeeek and whom I say Shiity buys anyway IF Sane goes to Bayern), Ousmane Dembélé (not worth it from all that I see) and Bernardo Silva (who Shitty will never sell to us either, and who I see as their David Silva role replacement) Obviously Mbappe Neymar Messi Mane Salah are not going anywhere OR are £150m to £250m

Shitty did not rebuild Maine Road, they retrofitted the 2002 Commonwealth Games City of Manchester stadium, Maine Road was demolished in 2004 and SB just doesn't have the expandabilty option

and has fuckall for lux boxes compared to the new stadia, between 20,000 less tickets sold and so many fewer lux boxes, its is KILLING US I wish I was a multi-billionaire for ONE reason (literally the only one where I would need THAT level of wealth): to buy Chels and make my dreams manifest, roflmaoooooooooooooooooo it is really the only thing on earth I want down to the core of my soul but cannot afford (well a carbon-neutral planet too, cure all cancers, and to smash up systemic banker control, but those are beyond any one human's powers, and I have no demi-god complex, lol) I still say Bezos should buy us

I wonder if Jovic will be part of that PSG deal? they are mad as ass if they dump him out, UNLESS (and let this happen!) they also go for KANE(Benzema turns 33 next season) those 2 alone will cost close to £400m so they will so have to liquidate a lot they are fucked with CB depth, Ramos is a shell of his peak self after that they only have Raphaël Varane and Éder Militão, Nacho is shit and and will turn 31 in the middle of next season, they do get Jesús Vallejo back from his Wolves loan, who is not RM starting quality anyway but can provide depth, so they surely have to go BIG for WC CB as well, which pushes expenditure up to near half a billion they do have a LOT to unload they have an insane overload at LW (FIVE) they may sell 3 Eden Hazard Vinícius Júnior Marco Asensio Rodrygo Brahim Díaz they also have (for possible sale) AMF James Rodríguez Isco CMF Ceballos (Arse will probably want him, he looks class) RW (but need to replace these as they are the only 2 RW they have) Gareth Bale Lucas Vázquez they also have THREE staring level RB's (so will sell one) Daniel Carvajal Álvaro Odriozola Ashraf Hakimi (back from his two year loan at Borussia Dortmund) also LB Marcelo will surely be sold (as they have Sergio Reguilón coming back from his Sevilla loan to backup Ferland Mendy) Modric leaves on a free so they also have to replace him and I think they also sell Cuntois and Navas and buy Alphonse Areola perm (and make a play for De gea, battle with Juve, as either can get him for free) lets do a tally Sell Cuntois, Navas, Nacho, Marcelo, Hakimi, James, Asensio, Diaz, Bale, Lucas Vázquez, Jovic ,and Ceballos yields around £550m in revenue Buy Mbappe, Kane, Koulibaly, Pogba, WC RW (to back up Mbappe or start when Mbappe is played as a CF, I think they go for Mikel Oyarzabal), Alphonse Areola (and lets just assume they get De Gea on a free) at MAX that is £725-750m (maybe a wee bit less) so a £175-200m max net spend which they easily can pull off no Kane (and keep Jovic) and you are down to only £100m or so net spend MAX lets say they do get Kane yields a team (I will fill in the names for the CB, MF and RW) of GK De Gea GK Areola GK Andriy Lunin CB Raphaël Varane CB Kalidou Koulibaly (I can see them paying the price the poson dwarf will want CB Éder Militão CB Ramos (cunt) CB Jesús Vallejo LB Ferland Mendy LB Sergio Reguilón RB Daniel Carvajal RB Álvaro Odriozola DMF Casemiro CMF Toni Kroos CMF Pogba CMF Federico Valverde AMF Isco AMF Martin Ödegaard LW Eden Hazard LW Vinícius Júnior LW Rodrygo RW Mbappe (and can play CF and LW too) RW Mikel Oyarzabal (can play both wings) CF Kane CF Mariano Díaz scary arse team IF they can pull that shit off, vastly better than they are now

Neymar just smashed by Spud's CB Sanchez face first into an advert board

he is a fucking numpty twat

Why Britain's richest man has not completed Premier League takeover amid Chelsea and Man Utd links Sir Jim Ratcliffe was tipped to take over a Premier League club this summer before his recent purchase of Nice https://www.mirror.co.uk/sport/football/news/britains-richest-man-not-completed-19883481 Britain's richest man Sir Jim Ratcliffe couldn't 'rationalise' taking over a Premier League club. Billionaire Ratcliffe is the founder of chemical company INEOS, who purchased Nice this summer. He has since been linked with takeovers in England, amid links to Chelsea , Manchester United and Newcastle . His brother Bob, who is the head of INEOS' football division, confirmed talks with boyhood club Chelsea but admits a deal didn't make sense. "We spent quite a lot of time looking at Premier League clubs and their valuations," he told BBC Radio 5 live. "£5bn revenue from the Premier League, top six clubs being valued at £2bn and upwards and £450m of net profit before tax. "It was difficult to rationalise purchases in the Premier League for us."If you look below the top six, they are all £150m and above. "You are going to write a cheque for £50m and get in the Everton cup. Where are you going to go? "I think the foreseeable future it is off the radar. We have a three to five year project in Nice and that will keep us busy." Asked if he had face-to-face talks with Chelsea chief Roman Abramovich, he said: "No, no. There was some early exchange but we were a significant way apart on valuations. "The issue with Chelsea is its stadium. We are all getting older and it is a decade of your life to resolve that." Bob Ratcliffe was also pushed on the links to Newcastle, with owner Mike Ashley continuing his search for a successor. He added: "You look at Newcastle, and we looked at a lot of clubs. You come back to a valuation in the hundreds of millions and it is difficult to contemplate." snip the stadium is going to be the thing that does us in for at least a decade even if it had all went to plan before, we would not have moved in until 2025 or 2026 and had no home for 5 or 6 years (Twickenham said no, and there are serious issues with Wembley and the Olympic stadium (aka West Ham)
