Turkish Posted 31 July, 2023 Share Posted 31 July, 2023 5 minutes ago, Dman said: In fairness, I think there are at least 10 really decent sides in the PL now, with the emergance of Villa and arguably brighton. I do hink brighton's time at the best of the rest will die off very quickly though, much like we did. You’re right I forgot about Villa. I fully expect their best players to get picked off again though it happened a few years ago when they finished 6th 3 seasons in a row under Martin O’Neill, in a couple of years they’ll be back to struggling and I agree with you about Brighton. Chelsea will be stronger this season but if Spurs lose Kane then they’ll be significantly weakened. From 7th down there really isn’t and awful lot of quality Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crab Lungs Posted 31 July, 2023 Share Posted 31 July, 2023 2 hours ago, Maggie May said: A post on the Burnley forum: “Pace's daughter has been contacting people on social media asking them to post '#freetella' content as part of a campaign to, in her words, "persuade Southampton to loosen their grip of him“ Absolutely hilarious.

Chez Posted 31 July, 2023 Share Posted 31 July, 2023 1 hour ago, SaintsFan86 said: However, West Ham, who are willing to include Downes as part of a deal with Southampton, are reluctant to pay over the odds. They see no resale value in Ward-Prowse given he will be 29 in November and have concerns over meeting his wages of about £100,000 a week. this a quote from the guardian, Interesting that they are offering Downes as part of the deal. When I read a report suggesting Downes is possibly part of the JWP deal, I struggle to believe it. I don't think they want to sell him or he wants to go.

Saint Matty 76 Posted 31 July, 2023 Share Posted 31 July, 2023 You can get JWP to stay at 11/2 on SkyBet if that news has made anyone a bit more confident.

Ken Tone Posted 31 July, 2023 Share Posted 31 July, 2023 It shows how crap football reporting is. I've seen one report saying West Ham giving up on JWP and another saying they're bidding again -- posted 1 and 2 hours ago, literally next to each other in clickbait. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SNSUN Posted 31 July, 2023 Share Posted 31 July, 2023 31 minutes ago, Dman said: Funny enough, I was thinking earlier about next season and who was in danger and it made me realise how poor the PL will be next season It seems to get weaker year by year. I can't for the life of me see a world where Luton or Sheff Utd stay up - Neither have really added a great deal of quality to their squads and in Sheff U case, they're even weaker than last season. Luton, Sheff Utd, Burnley, Bournemouth, Forest, Everton are at least 5 really weak sides. I thought Bournemoth would be in real trouble after the friendly as I was really uninpressed, but I genuinely think it'll be harder than not to g down next season. I'm going for Luton to get the lowest ever point total, if they don'y Sheff Utd will. I agree, in so much as I think the three teams that went up will probably go down (although if anyone has a shot of survival it'll be Burnley) BUT I disagree that it gets weaker year on year. I said at the start of last season that the three teams that got promoted would be strong, and sure enough they all stayed up. (And somehow Everton still fluked themselves out of it). It's only weaker this season because the three teams that got promoted were a bit of a surprise, and are noticeable weaker on paper than the established Prem clubs.

The Curse of St Mary's Posted 31 July, 2023 Share Posted 31 July, 2023 Be interesting to see how fast incomings follow once we sell a couple of players soon (Salisu and Lavia seem most probable). Martin insinuated we have targets lined up and these players are patiently waiting for us to make concrete moves once we make space in the squad. Once other clubs know we have sold players for big fees this could in theory prolong negotiations. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That won't be the mindset of a professional footballer though, who'll be thinking that staying in the Championship completely removes the chance.
