Pure speculation on my part….. I think we all realised how magical, and profitable, it was to be involved in European football, and the management has gone all out to have a second helping. At the same time, realised that trying to compete in Europe and PL needs a bigger and stronger squad...

According to the Athletic — …Under the Premier League’s PSR rules, clubs are entitled to lose a maximum of £105million ($133m) over three seasons, although certain costs can be deducted, such as infrastructure, women’s football, investment in youth and community work…

Milner had a good preseason. He was MOTM against Tottenham last season, just before the injury that kept him out of the team for several months. If FH and the coaching staff see him as still having a valuable role to play, that’s fine by me.

I constantly hear people complain about questioners starting with long rambling preambles but I can’t say I’ve noticed anyone do this over the past few years. Seems perfectly ok to start with a few introductory words but I rarely see that being abused.

How weird. Ian Ure was the first name to pop into my head after reading the OP.

I believe that infrastructure improvements can be factored in and offset against expenditure for PSR purposes.

I thought Gomez had signed, joining in January? Or was that not confirmed yet?

I don’t know anything about birds unfortunately (much as I like them) but what a delight to dip into this thread and see such knowledge and enthusiasm.

Deleted.

No, I think most squads are in the same position, and some worse than others. Main problem for most is not fitness but finding a settled team with the various new arrivals. For this reason I think Liverpool may be off to a flyer (having signed no new players).

I’m having a year off FPL. Too much unnecessary hassle. And so much luck involved.

I think Villa will be well out of it this year because of CL football, and Spurs, Chelsea, Man Utd all have Thursday night matches which can be chaotic for fixtures and injuries, as we know. So I’m more optimistic. I think we can finish in the top third of the table and grab some sort of...

It’s a terrible confession but I’ve almost forgotten about Solly in the flurry of new signings. Who knows how he’ll fare after his injury?

On reflection, you're right.

Not exactly a reliable source, is he? Sounds more like a grumpy Scot just muttering away on a golf course, having a dig at Brighton. Celtic will sell if the right offer comes in. They won’t give a hoot if the buying club is in Europe, and they don’t canvass their fans for approval before...

Room for both!

Shocking company. I won't go through the details of the nightmare they put us through when they disconnected our internet in error, then took 6 weeks to reconnect, all the while claiming it wasn't their fault. Eventually we went through the Ombudsman who awarded us anout £600 compensation and...

Rooney? He isn’t stupid at all. Sadly I’m not sure he’s cut out to be a top rank manager but when he talks about the game you realise he’s quite a smart thinker.
