Launched, as in €2M loan fee and no obligation to buy.

 

Gotta feel sorry for Juve fans.. Within a few years, from having Chiellini-Bonucci-Barzagli ATB they ended up with Kelly, Gatti and Bremer and chasing Disasi.

Arsenal heavily linked with Gyokeres.

This is painful

Good to see. 

A team reliant on crossing getting an absolute sham of a heading forward in Gyokeres. 

I don't see Gyokeres doing much if he can't physically overwhelm in the PL.

This may the first thing we agree on.

I just don't think its the panic stations everyone is going on about. 

People are praising PSG, but they signed all their current great talent at under 25... We have been trending upwards. 

Our players are going to be a year older, more experienced, resilient, and in tune with the manager and his method of playing. 

People are acting as if we were world beaters the last 10 years. We've won 1 PL title in the last 10 years. Our "success" is a bit of a mask when we had an extraordinary and unexpected CL run where we happened to hit our stride, and clearly built a cup side, but one not capable of winning the league (ala early 2000s Liverpool). 

If you zoom out and look at things for what they are - this last season results wise was one of our best in the last 10 years aside from the PL winning season, and CL winning season. We're in top 4, CL, and won a trophy. 

We are the youngest team in the league (history actually). Have some of the most promising players in Cole, Caicedo, Lavia, Enzo, Santos and Estevao in our team - who will continue to grow, be a staple/core of the team, and the average age between them is under 23 years old... We have RJ who can hopefully work his way back and is only 25. We have the likes of Colwill who has been hot and cold but is 22. 

I'm personally excited for the likes of Essugo, who is young and strong as a bull. I've heard nothing but great things about Quenda who will be joining us next season too. 

People are yearning for this return to glory, but it was masked well in the last 10 years under Roman. It wasn't as consistent or glory filled as we pretend. We had patches where we made it work. Both of our CL wins happened and were shocks to most of us. We didn't win while we were dominant, we won because we hit stride and it masked the faults of the club that were plain and obvious. 

Now we go into next season with more experience and a year older, know how to win a major final, and they showed when it gets tough they know how to get results with the last stretch. That is big. Yes I wasn't happy with the play since Xmas, but they dug deep and won. That is important. Is there things I'd like to be done better? Yes, clearly defensive and GK signings have been god awful, but I'm sure it is a point of making it better. Maignan would have been nice, but is it far and away the surefire thing we think it is? Maybe not - and glad they approached with caution considering how poor they've been spending money on keepers.

Youth players you missed, who played for senor team: Murray-Campbell, Genesis Antwi, Ato Ampah. 

Worth mentioning Rak-Sakyi, Dyer and Murray-Campbell have one year left on contracts, if they won't extend it I think we won't see them around senor team anymore.

I don’t know that it is the entire business model, but it is a piece of this ownership’s way of generating profit.

Yeah veiga for example brought for 15m and we will demand at least 25m or 30m to sold him

And from an amortisation standpoint, and book value wise for the club, it actually ends up being more than a 10-15 mil dollar profit in the example you gave. 

Its simply good business to keep numbers ticking over.

I have give up on transfers now and caring, the model is quite clearly nowhere near what we should be building to and these SD's and owners are ploughing their own furrow

[NikkiCFC 8,516]

Noni doesn't know how to change tire. Sell.

There's a lot to do in the squad before we consider Noni's position. We need a GK, CB, and LW. I think we can go on with Noni and Estevao at RW unless Newcastle come in with a huge offer.

Feels like any and all transfer rumors and reporting have come to a complete stop with us. I know the CWC is starting soon but surely we should still be pushing seriously for deals. What’s going on? 🤦‍♂️

We aren’t seriously just going to wait around for weeks for Gittens and that’s the only signing we’re working on. And that’ll be a massive overpay, too.

The two daft cunts will have their flip flops on now getting ready to fight over sun loungers at some exotic resort in a far away land to be worrying about the next Jimmy Saville victim, window opens on monday and the only one they will be looking in will be a plane window

The example of us already selling players who were recently signed - the guy loaned to Southampton, Dortmund, Petrovic, Felix and Renato Veiga - only shows that the main focus is indeed financial. could use some of the money for the main team, but they prefer to invest in young players, loan them out, increase their value and sell them for more and earn the difference everything we feared is coming true.

We have spent over a billion pounds and the first team has changed in every aspect bar Reece James? Saying we bought bad players is one thing but saying we should buy first team players instead of buying players to loan is crazy, they bought a whole new first team….
