Better hope he strives otherwise we're stuck with him forever.

I even thought there was a maximum of 5y in contracts.. maybe it was just an old cm rule.. 

We gave Kepa a 7 year contract in 2018, lolol

I really wonder what are his wages.

[Blue Armour 4,436]

The long contracts are probably more to do with FFP more than anything. 

The downside is getting players to agree with those terms - because they are essentially forfeiting opportunities to bump up their pay with contract renewals, they might ask for higher wages to begin with.

yes, amortisation

[Mhsc 1,093]

I think long term contracts also take away player power and guarantee you the prime of player's careers. The downside is they may flop and be stuck on the books for ages. It is something I first saw Tottenham doing and it has worked to keep them relevant despite being (relatively speaking) cash poor. No way Harry Kane is still at Spurs if not for clever use of long-term contracts.

The longer the game went on today the worse Jorginho looked. And he wasn’t exactly doing much to start with. And now confirmation that Zakaria will be out for more than a month.

I imagine the noise about us bringing in a midfielder will heat up substantially this week. If we had signed Enzo we could be making a real go of it with all these new signings. At least made those competing for that 4th spot sweat.

Needs replacing immediately. The thing is he doesn’t even bring good passing or anything creative anymore. He is just a liability with no upsides.

Just all to be healthy and this team can go long way in CL. 

Whichever GK is in top form. 

      Fofana Silva Badiashile 

James Kante Caicedo Chilwell 

           Felix    Mudryk 

                Havertz 

I hope we get Caicedo now. Nkunku is coming in the summer and on top of that we need DM and Reece backup.

Not want to be taking 10239th dig on Potter, but we need to actually get the CL football first to go any way there 😶

In current cl run, the "healthy" thing may be a madman's dream.

All should be back for Dortmund.

with chuku playing good we dont need two new midfielders.

He's not a deep lying midfielder., and that's what we are lacking.
