Rice is our number one DM and Sanchez is his back up for now, we don't need another one we are fine, we can exchange Sanchez next season. Thats why the DM needs to complement rice and not be a direct backup. A players who has more movement and agressive in the mould of Ascacibar, our problem is whe...

I'm not interested in what our net spend is. Last year Fulham spent £100m and went down. If we can improve the squad and improve the club's finances it's win/win. I completely agree that there are areas that need improving, but generally pell seems to be improving the overall standard of the team. ...

if true that we are selling Hugill and Obiang and no more signing thats a 22million net spend. We have one extra goalkeeper We have 2 less strikers (incoming one considerably better) Replaced a old cam with an young exciting cam Lost 1 central midfielder We would have around 250k less a week in wage...

IMO you can never have too much of a big squad. As long as you have good strength in depth and good enough quality. It'll give some of our injury prone players a better chance of not picking up as much injuries as they'll either struggle to make the line-up, or not wont have to play as many games a...

Last year we had 6 players out for the majority of the season - Lanzini, Wilshere, Yarmolenko, Sanchez, Reid and Carroll. Given our squad size this year, we couldn't cope with the same happening again. Our squad is still reasonably big from the squad at the tour plus other notable absentees the fol...

I don't know much about Silva other what I have read and seen on youtube and he looks decent. Morelos is one of the most infuriating players I have seen for years. He looks decent in Scotland, which is not really saying much but he does look decent. The biggest issue is that he is out more than And...

For me is has to be Morelos and Andre Silva

Both internationals
Both Available at around 20-30million
Both have superb goals scoring record - other than one season for silva
Both 23

If the rumours are right that we have missed out on Maxi Gomez then this is how i would approach the transfer strategy 1) Belloti - 50 million + Balottelli The best striker who we have a 1% of signing, we are probably a bigger team than Torino and we probably could double his wage. It would be a hug...

all that's needed is to meet the release clause nothing more. nothing less. that's if we're serious. but we all know that release clauses have to be met in full at the time (that's how it's "taken" at least) but we want to pay on the h-p which is why we haven't. They have accepted 15mil +...

Wolves, Watford, Bournemouth... basically every team that has progressed in the PL has kept their best players. Leicester are the only example that support the counter-argument to some extent, as they sold Kante, Drinkwater and Mahrez and are still top 10. However, with those three they won the lea...

As with the Liverpool comparison, this doesn’t work. We do not have the stature of Spurs or Liverpool. Give me an example of a team from Everton downwards, a team closer to our current stature, who have progressed by selling their best players? Everton sold Lukaku and Stones and at best have stood ...

You’re right, there are differences. However, once you sell one, you set a precedent. Not only to other clubs, but to the players. If Diop leaves, what’s to stop Rice, or Anderson, or others saying that they have the right to leave too if a good offer/big club comes in? Let’s not forget we sold Pay...

Leeds Utd are reportedly keen on signing Robert Snodgrass from West Ham United on loan as they eye a reunion with the 31-year-old. https://www.caughtoffside.com/2019/06/21/leeds-utd-eyeing-swoop-on-west-ham-for-key-signing-to-boost-promotion-hopes/ How realiable is this (news)paper? Would not belie...

If Maxi Gomez really is quite reluctant to move to us, is it wise to pursue this? Say we get him but he finds it hard to settle and immediately wishes to go back to Spain. We'd have an underperforming player on Premier League wages with nobody in Spain wanting him or being able to afford him. You a...

He is not the owner of our football club. All new signings have an element of the unknown. We have no idea if the replacement we find would be as good or even half as good, and let’s not pretend Husillos is God - he will make mistakes and not all of his choices will be successes. We have Diop and B...

No. 1. He will be worth much more in even one or two years. 2. We won’t replace him with anyone nearly as good or his age. 3. It would send out the message that we are prepared to sell our best players, when we’ve finally had at least a couple of seasons of not doing that. I actually personally dis...

Very exciting to read that an offer has been accepted for Gomez. However, in a straight choice between us and Valencia you have to think Gomez will pick Valencia: - Champions League football - Gets to stay in Spain (which I've read he wants, though who knows how accurate that is) - Stronger squad (...

EX just tweeted saying Fornais is being looked at, as Lobotka is now less likely. Intresting we see these two as similar replacements, but seems exciting.

Billydinho wrote: I really rate Lanzini but where would he go?

The talk is back to River Plate, whereby we would probably get max 15 mil, only at West Ham this could happen

Gomez is Pellegrinni number one target and just like Lacazette and Batman we took our time and lost out, I believe this is deliberant by Sullivan, he doesn’t want to pay the money. Even Anderson was a long drawn out affair with Pelle making press statements and giving the board a few hurry up messa...
