Player Valuation: £50m
Rubbish. He had nothing coached out of him.He had that brilliance coached out of him mate. Too many people wanted him to be like Gana Geuye![]()
He had a large ego and a poor work ethic. The same has happened at Chelsea.

In an ideal world being the key mate. You cant have 20 players of the highest calibre in the team. Well at City and PSG probably. But not at the genuinely managed clubs. The premier league has allowed 23 players to be declared as the PL squad.
McCarthy, Schneiderlin, Vlasic, Baningime, Dowell, Besic, Bolasie, Niasse, Tosun, Mirallas, Sandro, Tarashaj
Possibly Walcott
3 GKs. Pickford, Stekelenburg and Hewelt/Virginia. We are good here.
Out of the remaining 20 players, lets split into 8 defenders, 6 midfielders and 6 strikers.
Coleman, Keane, Zouma, Digne - Main defenders.
Baines, Jagielka, Mina, Kenny - Backups
But we need atleast 1 CB here that can complement Jagielka and fight for that spot. Then we will have 3 CBs fighting for 2 spots. And if we are to sell Jagielka, Baines and Pennington, then we WILL be a lot short. We dont want to over rely on our youths for a starting spot in the premier league.
Gueye, Sigurdsson, Bernard, Gomes - Main midfielders
Schneiderlin, Davies - Backup
We are a whole lot short here and we HAVE to invest in an ball playing CM that will allow Sigurdsson to push forward.
Strikers we need atleast 3. Two wingers and a striker if everyone off your list has to leave. But thats not going to happen. We cant sell first team players and rely on 16 year olds as backups to compete in the league. We will need a 32/33 year old striker who will be happy off the bench and a couple of understudies to him and DCL.
On wages front, assuming these 20 players have an average wage of 100k, thats 2m a week of wages freed.
We would need a CB, a FB, a CM, 2 Strikers and a winger irrespective of the players leaving to even complete the first team XI. I doubt we (or anyone in the history of football) are dumb enough to sign off 20 players and have only 6 players sign in.
Frankfurt could get CL qualification so I think that’s unlikely.
Zapata at Atalanta maybe.
Isn't Jovic only on loan at Frankfurt ? Benfica parent club I think
The championship waves backMason Holgate says ‘Hi’.
Benfica is but he had an option to by for £6m at the end of the loan. I said had because Frankfurt obviously took it and they may even look to offload him to Barca or Real for +£60mIsn't Jovic only on loan at Frankfurt ? Benfica parent club I think
That post was completely lost on you mate.Rubbish. He had nothing coached out of him.
He had a large ego and a poor work ethic. The same has happened at Chelsea.
Sangare is my first signing, hopefully get him for 25M.
I'm with you there. Sangare. My guess is he'll be 20-25M.

My current wish list of 3 priority signings.
And you are still not even close to being accurate.I have already openly admitted that invented was the wrong word to use and that it is correct to say he most definitely was the first to use it successfully at a high level for consecutive games not out of necessity due to injuries but out of choice.
As for the player hot takes I was just trying to rile you up because I know you’re a huge sangare fan along with Zat.
That’s the last this forum needs to hear of the Guardiola debate and is way off the original post.
I hate your love for Haller, Goat. I really do.Zooms

I think I'm more excited for the fire sale than I am for the incomings
Been searching for an article that I read sometime ago. It compared different strikers and their playing styles and what made them the players they really are. Not the top ones. The second tier and third tier ones. And Bolasie was one of them. I will dig out that article if I can find it. But it went on to suggest that his loan at Villa wasnt successful because of the way they were setup. And it is more than likely that it is the reason why he wasnt able to score more at Palace and here. But you maybe right in the sense that if we are to compete in the league (and 2 cup competitions), we must be ruthless and not have any sentiments about any players.
