Yeah, same. In past years I would. My only curiosity is around seeing if the change in coach and a few players has resulted in the team being able to string 10+ passes under moderate pressure.

Feels low, didn’t we just pay 12 million for some random bloke called Cabal?

We’ll need to find out if he’s worth keeping by the end of this season, as he’ll then be entering the final year of his contract I believe as he only signed a 2.5 year deal?

The media found a story that will generate interest which gains views and clicks.

Fair enough, the few occasions I’ve seen him he came across as a technically limited, lightweight, runs a lot with minimal end product. Which is definitely what Weah showed over the past 12 months.

Children get taught at an early stage not to put your front foot across your body like that to block a cross/shot/pass, if the player dummies and cuts back across you then have to turn your back to the ball to go the other way. Oh well, not our problem anymore, au revoir.

Motta got acceptable use out of a similar player like Saelemakers in my opinion, if Weah has to stay he can have some minutes off the bench here and there.

Ball playing centre backs are everyone’s fetishes these days, even if they can’t defend well. Who knows, a further season here or on loan with a few long range passes, goals or assists to compile a few YouTube compilations may be enough to see him rise to £50million+ for a Britbong club.

Doubt it’ll happen but Kadioglu looked very good offensively in every game he played at the euros.

Are release clause fees always paid in one lump sum? I remember Higuains being split over 2 annual payments.

No, RKid who is a transfer guru says 95% of these rumours are false, so it still remains at a 5% chance. Momblano would be proud of him.

+20 million. Big dick Ricardo. Looks like an alpha out there whilst Bastoni totally wilted.

For the bigger picture, with resetting the salary expectations at the club, it’s probably wise to offload him and Tek. There’s a big overhaul likely taking place this summer so it may be easier to accept the slight downgrade in the replacement. Defensive midfielders (Rabbit), young players and...

95% of transfer rumours are rubbish, so the probability is 1 in 20. Is this your first season following the transfer window?

Yes the 60million would be better. The p/e element is only a better option when you know you can’t fetch similar cash and a trade deal inflates the player valuation, preferably for both parties.

Villa do have the 4th highest wage bill in the PL already and had a big outlay in the summer last year. Even with the CL, they could benefit from one of these trade deals to cook the books with a Soule and/or McKennie whilst also solving the issue of an expiring contract on a player who appears...

Wonderful assumption there. I didn’t read much or anything about Chiesa last summer, Vlahovic it’s likely we tried and there were no acceptable proposals. In previous years we heard daily links about De Ligt, Pogba, Vidal, how did those turn out? Avoid stringing one statistic to suit your...

No smoke without fire. Something is brewing here. Just have to hope it’s not worst case scenario where we are selling for a fee less than 40 million, as is being reported. Other teams have sold players in the last year of their contracts for big money. If we are selling, then our best hope may...

Any half intelligent side would realise they weren’t going to be able to press like that for too long, so to avoid inviting pressure for a short period would’ve been logical. However, this team contains leaders like Danilol and doofuses like Gatti.

It’s a shame that this shitstorm is taking away all of the attention regarding the terrible officiating we’ve been on the receiving end of for this whole season culminating in that CI final that tipped him over the breaking point, to the point it hasn’t garnered a single mention. The outcome is...
