Never know on here haha all good.Mate, I was having laugh. No bad intent
I disagree about it being about selling. While we do still have a load of underperforming players to shift, a lot are coming to the end of their contracts and we have just gone through a full season in which we had two keepers in the bench and quite a few times didn't even have a full bench.Again, this window, like the past 4/5 windows have been about selling (not loaning ffs) players. We do have one premium sellable asset in Kean - if we can get 45mil and then reinvest that into something like Dike and a RW for 20 mil each that that’s good business. Celik will probably be around 15/20 mil which would be sound. Then it all depends on if we can move a few bodies. I’m worried at the fact we’re looking at CB options...that feels like the area we’re the most stocked in. If we sell Holgate then sure, absolutely, find a replacement but it can’t be the priority?? This will be a crucial window as ever, I’m sick of buying overrated prem players for premium fees/wages, every other club is capable of finding good players abroad for a snip - why has our scouting system gone from elite to awful?
sorry for off topic just didn't know where else to put this. This makes me feel old, 15 years christ
I just hope we are more cautious with contract lengths and wages so we aren't ever in this position again.
Nah we were handing out 5year contracts like sweets at one pointI don't think we're uncautious with contract lengths, it's just a lot of the players we sign turn out to be duds so need rid of them quicker than expected
It’s a lottery!Never know on here haha all good.
Yeah a mixture of COVID and Man City bloodying their noses has put an end to the current anti competitive system - I remember reading UEFA may also start making economic sanctions on clubs that break the rules rather than sporting sanctions i.e. bans on playing in Europe which will likely be to stop future Man City's taking them to court.
I dont trust UEFA to bring something sensible in however at the very minimum I think this current summer will essentially be clubs spending what they want with UEFA looking the other way during the transition period - as you say COVID has hit many leagues hard and even the big super league boys who aint bankrolled need the likes of us and Villa to be throwing money at their squad players.
Personally think if EFC had sense they would chuck a good £150 million at it this summer and go for broke.

We don't sign them expecting them to bomb mate, that's a strange takeIf you're spending decent money on someone 5 years is standard if they're a good age, the problem is the actual players we sign not their contract lengths
