it's actually very good to be ruthless, to know exactly what kind type of player that you want to keep

but genuinely curious, is it common to say things publicly, this player a,b,c are train apart from others?

aren't there are some better way to explain, it makes the club and also the manager like treat those player with no respect

i mean you can add things like, we already talk one by one, in a positive way, i know its hard but we want the best for them aswell, we're trying to find the best possible way, etc

those extra detail is important sometimes 

Well, Sterling, and his agent, were the ones who brought it to the public eye.

It's just a strategy; players can sit on contracts and there is little the club can do other than remove them from the squad. This strategy is also giving a message to other clubs that these players are fair game, and a deal may be facilitated.

Also, why you guys don't think he'll be like Lukaku and accept huge pay cut just to play somewhere regularly? For all the shit Lukaku gets gotta give him credit for that including rejecting Saudi move. 

Wrote this yesterday and glad this is the case. Many thought Sterling is unmoveable due salary but just like Lukaku it seems he will go wherever and accept huge pay cut. Credit to him for that. Many would just collect +300k a week for next 3 years.

On my knees for these Disasi briefs. Most people don’t believe in physiognomy, but I do think peoples faces clearly show their disposition - how close is their baseline to anxious, stress, relaxed, confident. It exudes. Disasi and Badi I didn’t want largely due to both exuding nerves. 

Believe in it? I can't even pronounce it. 🙂

It is disrespectful but its hard to argue with the logic of the sales.

[Mário César 1,249]

I think we are being to harsh with sterling, tbh

Seeing Felix take over the shirt number from Trev is honestly more sad than what happened to Conor. The latter at least got a good season representing the club, wearing the armband, then there was a disagreement with the contract so he now takes on a new interesting challenge. All parties win, no hard feelings. But Trev is just as much a blue, happily signed  every contract handed to him, always gave it his all, got unlucky with injury, returned as our best CB only to be cut loose before there was even anyone asking,  now has to hand over his modest shirt number to the 17th attacking mid we randomly signed, will now be sold for peanuts to join some boring mid table club to rescue his career

Very true that.

Leaving out tiny detail that most people could see there isn't much in those players even before they came here and it took the board few years and several tens of millions to notice it. It's not like they were uncut gems with 50/50 chance of turning out wonderkids, rather fishing in very muddy waters for big cash. I get they could expect the reputation of The Project will at least increase their value in the meantime, but the project turned out what it turned out. 

And knowing our luck, it's only matter of time when one of the dross we managed to shift unluke Mudryk will turn out KDB and Salah story.

Also it's fine that club is showing assertiveness, too bad it directs it mainly towards our academy players who deserve the spit in their faces least of whole bunch.

Getting rid of Disasi 12 months after buying him is proof enough that the football directors are fucking clueless.

Tried his best, had some half decent moments but probably never good enough in the first place. The fact its taken them a year to figure this out, when the plan was always to work towards a certain style of football, is even more proof of how hugely hugely incompetent they are. If it was even in doubt.

At least they recognise their error and are looking to improve things. If we sell and replace disasi as well as getting a striker it’s been a great window

Recognise their error? Should’ve known from the start. Clearly - and this has been for a long time now - there is no actual plan in place for on the pitch and it’s more of a business model…

Whats been constant/consistent in our transfer business? Young players, lower incentive based wages, long term deals. Selling academy players for PSR. Selling players on higher wages (some that were only signed 12/24 months ago). 

I mean otherwise, can you tell me how it is anything else, when managers like Tuchel, Poch, Potter & Maresca all have literally next to nothing in common in terms of playing styles? And you don’t build a playing squad without tailoring it to the manager and his philosophy in all honesty. You can put blocks in place but ultimately, can’t do it all.

this is a chaotic board and we already knew since the beginning
