  • Think there is a good chance we will have a new manager next season. And looking at most of the options I think there is a good chance that manager will play 343. Both to solve some of the issues we have and due to several of the options playing...
  • Would never put himself in a position where he had to play him.
  • Guido and Barkley on bosman as stop gap. Onana or someone else for a fee?
  • Basically kicked out by a fat yank because he did not suit his strategy. Next in line? Colwill, James and Gallagher. Better boo them too.
  • …today!

    https://statsbomb.com/articles/soccer/a-deep-dive-into-europes-goalkeepers-in-2023-24/ Bit more on him here. Will probably be cheap.
  • And nobody noticed?! Vibes of Strachan on Lundekvam! “He was carried off at Leicester and someone asked me if he was unconscious. I didn’t have a clue. That’s what he’s always like.”

    Still an element of truth. Hottest flames makes the hardest steel. If you can make it in the PL… I think the PL is a great place to be for a good, young coach these days. And it seems like it is hard to prepare for some of the competition here.

    I doubt that is true. First, I dont think we are that close to a breach in any sense. Second, if we bought a player at the end of june, the cost in 23/24 would basically be zero. Would we depreciate him in 23/24? Probably not. And his first...

    I think injuries might be part of it.
  • Was 19/20 though. Probably was a Championship defender at the time.
  • On Italians "When an Italian tells me it's pasta on the plate I check under the sauce to make sure. They are the inventors of the smokescreen." A quote from a wise man.
  • andersj replied to the thread Jean-Clair Todibo.
    I agree. We should get rid off all three if possible. Varane, Maguire and Lindelof cost the club approx £60-70 mill this season (£35-45 mill in wages and £25 mill in depreciation) this season. That is the equivalent of signing three players at...
  • andersj replied to the thread Jean-Clair Todibo.
    Impressive talents. Not sure Tapsoba will leave. The rest of them are exciting, but I must say I have a preference for «young but experienced». Bit like Rio/Vidic and even Martinez. 24-25 with plenty of senior games.

    «We are trying to keep to Financial Fair Play while holding on to the best players in our squad. But of course we are not closed off to selling someone if a very good offer comes in and it gives us the possibility to improve our FFP position. We...
