I see no way we lash that kind of money on him this window.... But I wonder if it would be a loan, with requirement to buy next summer? That I could see happening, we get to train him for a year in our system, and next summer will have the money to spend, as THEORETICALLY we wont have any...

For a visual representation, by my reading of the attached Part B, hes now got the 5 he needs. From top to bottom, he gets 1 point for being within 20% of the median qualifying transfer(which for the window he transferred appears to be 8.2 million). Im assuming he gets 1 point for wages, with...

Meaningless. I dont know why I keep posting about it because people dont seem to pay attention, but once Nigeria made the semi-finals it didnt matter if he played 100% of matches or 0%, he gets the last point he needs simply by being an international from the country. Its right in the FAs...

ONONONONONONONONON There, fixed it for you. Its on.

I think theres comfort in the fact that almost exactly this same squad was dominating the last 3rd of the season, so even if we bring in better players that wont be able to start right away, we should be able to take advantage of that easier opening stretch, because the only player missing is...

I for one am fuming that a team signed some player that we had no interest in, werent linked to, dont want and doesnt effect our plans. Part of the reason I am fuming is that I cant comprehend that we can only sign 1-2 forwards, and not every single one of the 20-30 semi-promising forward that...

Easy, would be "Nothing but the best is good enough. And Im the best, so Im the only one good enough."

There were links yesterday of Bolasie going to Newcastle, I thought it reasonable to expect at least a 100 pages of celebration for the possibility alone

Didnt mean to stumble into the West Ham transfer thread...my bad, Ill go find the Everton one.

Must be a Benjamin Button thing

Id have to see this meaning Besic, McCarthy and Snides are all gone. No place for them, and Gomes, Gana, Delph, and Davies seem plenty for those spots. Could get 20 million from their sales so could free up a little extra to get a forward.

Did you know that by default the average age of the squad raises every year? Turns out, each one of our players has a birthday!

Exactly, and Delph isnt a long term solution at the position. Instead, you get a player who can play now with experience, and you pair him with the 18 year old that has to learn it, and who will pass him in 2 years. Part of investing wisely in young players is not just buying them when they...

Brands will let it run to deadline day. He will tell them he knows if they dont get him sold this window, he goes for free next summer, then they will throw in Ronaldo to boot and pay his salary.

Absolutely time to panic, wouldnt make sense to see it as normal considering its exactly what happened last window which turned out to be a great window. If we can get a witch doctor thrown in too, could make for an exciting panic filled weekend lead by reason and logic.
