S-Clarke Posted 14 June, 2019 Share Posted 14 June, 2019 Their attack is lethal, pure quality throughout that now. They've got Arnoutovic to spearhead it as well, really impressive - could do really, really well next year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John Boy Saint Posted 14 June, 2019 Share Posted 14 June, 2019 I think the likes of Pogba, Sanchez etc are sucking the club dry with excessive wages.... Even when you are as rich as Man U - not being in the Champions League puts a dent in your finances, Brother in Law is a Chelsea ST holder, when they failed to make the Champions League last season he said if they failed again this past season and lost Hazard it could be the start of a nasty spiral. Europa League doesnt bring in enough to pay a bloke £450k a week (after tax) to sit on his backside getting splinters in his bottom. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Badger Posted 14 June, 2019 Share Posted 14 June, 2019 I do remember someone saying McGuire was twice the player Stephens was, so I’d probably take £45m. Someone also likened him to Franz Beckenbauer bringing the ball out of defence. I think they were serious. Perhaps they were right though as Beckenbauer is now in his 70's.

tajjuk Posted 14 June, 2019 Share Posted 14 June, 2019 £25 million doesn't get you much these days, that to me seems a lot for a guy who got 5 goals and 6 assists in nearly 50 games last year, mainly playing as a number 10. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Comparisons to us are hardly valid, everyone looked good compared to what we achieved. After all their spending and big names, they finished 3 points above Palace.

SuperSAINT Posted 15 June, 2019 Share Posted 15 June, 2019 (edited) Nice move. WEST HAM SEE £29M GOMEZ BID ACCEPTED West Ham and Valencia have both had bids of £29m bids (plus add ons) accepted by Celta Vigo for striker Maxi Gomez. The Hammers have been trying to buy the Uruguay international for the past two transfer windows. West Ham almost signed the 22-year-old in January, only for Celta to refuse their offer in order to keep the forward to aid their relegation bid. However, with the La Liga club avoiding the drop last season, they are understood to now be willing to sell Gomez. It is now up to the player to decide where he goes. **Waits for 'you can't judge a clubs signings!' angry mob to attack** Edited 15 June, 2019 by SuperSAINT Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dusic Posted 15 June, 2019 Share Posted 15 June, 2019 West Ham £29m bid accepted for Maxi Gomez. Valencia also in for him. Historically they have been a shambles, but eventually spending these kind of amounts will make it very hard for a club like Saints to compete with them.

Convict Colony Posted 16 June, 2019 Share Posted 16 June, 2019 But Gomez has a 45m release clause in his contract - so 29m isn't going to get accepted really hahaha bro we go through this everytime someone goes for a spanish or portugese player. They have to have these release clauses in their contracts legally over there - it doesn't mean that is the value (hence some crazy ones in the portugese especially) they have to sell at but it is the value which triggers the ability of the footballer to negotiate and then pay the fee to release himself from the contract, the club can sell at whatever price they want. He's probably available to sell for above what west ham offered and they are expecting this offer and the lure of premier league wages to be enough to get it through.

SuperSAINT Posted 18 June, 2019 Share Posted 18 June, 2019 Burnley interested in Neal Maupay at Brentford. BURNLEY WANT MAUPAY Burnley would be interested in Brentford striker Neal Maupay but would be unlikely to pay the £20m reported asking price, Sky Sports News understands. Sean Dyche is in the market for a striker and the 22-year-old impressed last season in the Championship, scoring 28 goals. West Bromwich Albion Striker Jay Rodriguez is a more realistic target for Burnley and it’s highly likely they will reignite their long-term interest this summer, after being priced out of a move for their former forward last July.

Pompey boss Kenny Jackett denied earlier this week that a fee had been agreed for the 22-year-old amid reports of a deal in excess of £3m. Portsmouth value the former Ipswich defender at around £5m - a fee that would represent the club's biggest sale for more than nine years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Along with Sheffield United and, dare I say it in case the wife sees this, Norwich. Burnley could struggle too with an ageing squad.

qwertyell Posted 21 June, 2019 Share Posted 21 June, 2019 Aidy Boothroyd has no business even been employed in football, let alone taking charge of England's youth. In the previous game he made the most mental substitutions I've ever seen. 1-0 up, but down to 10 men, he took off both wingers and replaced then with two centre forwards. And then played them out of position on the wing, where their lack of positional know how left their full backs exposed. Unsurprisingly, this insane approach to game management ended in inevitable defeat. He than inexplicably hung Wan-Bissaka out to dry in public after the game, suggesting that his unfortunate late own goal was somehow because his head had been turned by transfer speculation. A stupid person might think the manager of an age group team's job is to create a supportive, nurturing environment where players feel freed up to express themselves, but not this clown. He's throwing them under the bus like he's Mourinho. And then today, in a must win game, he drops the most coveted right back in the Premier League for Everton's third choice full back, drops Foden - their goalscorer and best player in the previous game - and continues to leave 26 goal Abraham on the bench, until 20 minutes from the end, during which time he scored once, hit the bar and forced a great save. I've no idea how this chancer has failed upwards into such a plum job. But now uncle Les Reed is his boss, I expect he's here to stay.
