Re: Transfer Rumours/Wishlist

We have way too many gaps in the side, as demonstrated by the low-points of this season to replace the best player of it. Some will say we could use his revenue to buy several upgrades, but having held tight pursestrings this year there'd be no excuse for selling the most talented player we have (n...

Re: Football Titbits

I completely believe and agree it's a financial decision too, however I can also imagine there's a supporter satisfaction consideration at play and if there is a lot of increased demand for single tickets, you can keep more people happier by having availability to see a couple games rather than the...

Re: Transfer Rumours/Wishlist

They found £115m for Rice and £70m for Havertz last summer… If he did move he’d probably want to go to a team capable of winning major trophies anyway. I think we could fetch at least £100-120m for Isak, perhaps more selling to a club in the same league... but I really hope it doesn't come to that....

Lol'ing at the logic from Arsenal fans thinking they could afford Isak this summer.

Could be that only 4th will be good enough for a CL spot this season but I'd welcome a strong europa league campaign from us next year.
Looks that way, another country can reward the mediocrity of 5th with an extra CL spot <laugh>

We weren’t getting 5th, let alone 4th anyway.

Re: 2023-24 Champions League!!!

No country should get 5 CL spots, it’s a piss take. You don’t have to be particularly amazing to finish 5th, Christ we’re only 10 points off it and have been decimated half the season! CL should be a reward for exceptional performance, not for being “alright” most of the season. But I’m old school a...

Re: 2023-24 Champions League!!!

Bye bye Arsenal.

Bye bye Man City.

Glad Man C won’t retain it, open for any of the four to win now.

Can definitely hear my mum saying "Did you hear about Kenneth Taylor?".
“Such a lovely man, 88 he was”.

Re: Transfer Rumours/Wishlist

I can defo see Wilson and Miggy being moved on in the Summer. So replacements for them. Another RW/RWB and a CB is needed as priority I think. Having Tonali back will be great too. If we get Adarabioyo on a free from Fulham I think we’re okay at centre back as we’d have Schar and Burn (who looks cl...

Re: Transfer Rumours/Wishlist

Yeah sesko seems nailed for a huge move and we’re not really in the position to be able to spend most of what we have on one statement signing. Agree that RW is the key focus, and then a backup striker as Wilson will be off in summer by the sounds of it. Defence will be fine with Hall, plus if the t...

Definitely happy and that’s the defence sorted so can use transfer funds elsewhere!

Re: Weekend football - 13/15 April 2024

Can't see us staying unbeaten for the rest of the season. This season has been so unpredictable as well I can see us beating Palace and then losing to Sheffield Utd. I’ve put palace and Brentford as draws but not unlikely we win one and lose one so actually get 3 points which is better than drawing...

Re: Weekend football - 13/15 April 2024

I never thought for one second that we’d catch up and be able to go for 4th, but the Villa win today absolutely cements that we are not (not that it was ever going to happen anyway <laugh>). I've been doing some rough numbers in my head and 6th will be the best we can get. Spurs have a very tough r...
