    In his defence that was 2 years ago....pretty sure he knows now that to win in this current climate you have to spend

    And they also got windfalls from Coutinho, Sterling and Suarez

    But yes....if they win this year they have to accept that they've probably bought the league

    It's not as if he has only just spent money this transfer window, he has spent £500 million since he's been there.

    Although two years ago they did spend £53m on Wijnaldum and Mane, so even then it was a little hypocritical, IMO

    It’s been a bit quiet lately - we haven’t bought anyone in three days!

    shf

    It's typical of the way the club is run: sign 7 players before the end of the World Cup, and then think that's job done.

    It's just not good enough.

    We should offer Rice and 40m for Willian.

    SSN saying we are linked with him and he can play CDM.

    I see we’ve made signing number 8, a defender called Hendrix. He’s even got a ponytail like Andy.

    This is not a hard one Pep, as there are many clubs who would be very pleased to have Joe in the Championship but as long as his wages are vastly inflated in proportion to his actual ability you will always struggle now. In my view Hart had his reputation inflated but the cat is out the bag as they say.
  • stevesteve
    Don't know if its just me ,but I love football so much I would take any cut in wages just to play the game .I know its a short life being a football player and they should earn what the market will pay ,,but at the same time its a short life to play the game we love ,and im sure Hart has earned more money already then I could ever hope to have

    Thats true but the same time this usually happens more seasoned players

    They have often been pros over 10 years, they are now passed their peak and in Joes case he isnt likely to go to a team who will improve his trophy cabinet. If i was on £150k a week, a load of trophies, international caps not to mention a lot of public ridicule why would i take a pay cut when i could just wait a year

    The fact hes moved on to Torino and us show hes definately tried to reignite his career....however poorly its gone

    Everton are close to signing Watford’s Richarlison for £50m. What??????
  • PrestonHammerPrestonHammer
    He was ok for the first of the season but he didn't score a goal after November. I think Everton are having their pants pulled down again. ;lol

    Leicester pay £12.5m for Liverpool's reserve goalkeeper!?

    The world has officially gone mad.

    (I said that when Blackburn paid 3 million quid for Shearer).
  • ianbishoplegendianbishoplegend
    Antonio + 50m for Zaha and job done.
  • baracks_a_hammerbaracks_a_hammer
    So a keeper who is seemingly worse than Karius and mignolet is worth £12.5m?? ;lol

    Mentions possibly loaning out or selling a few of the young players but no mention of what he plans to do with Quina who is probably the best of the lot? I do hope we won't regret letting him go if that's what happens as he appears to be higher rated. Playing well for Portugal at an Under 19 tournament at the moment.

    5 goals = 50 million... ;doh

    What a steal Fabianksi was then!

    Sounds mad, but then it's only the owners backing the new manager. Which is a good thing, surely?
  • WHU_Champo_league_in_7_yearsWHU_Champo_league_in_7_years
    The irony that they have been saying what a waste of money Anderson was....when anderson got more goals + assists while playing less than half of the minutes that Richarlson did in their respective leagues

    A few reports saying obiang close to a sampdoria move...strange given he has played a lot in preseason
  • PrestonHammerPrestonHammer
    I think we bought him from Sampdoria. Seems a strange move to me if he goes back. ;hmm
  • IronHerbIronHerb
    Lots of reports saying Obiang is definitely staying.
