well yes, but I'd rather not open that can of worms again. though put it this way, if we were truly as limp as we look every preseason we'd have been relegated a long, long time ago
well our form always seems to fall off a cliff in the new year with the current schedule, so maybe juggling things around will enable us to have optimal luck from the form gods

cucurella was 23, Webster was 24, Mac Allister was 21, and Maupay was 22, none of those are old players and were probably bought with potentially selling on in mind so yes that is the model. And now we're stabilised in the PL the model is changing and looking to recruit even younger players as...
I'd certainly disagree that it implies that. our model isn't 'dont spend much money', it's 'identify young talents, sign them at a suitable price relative to their talent and then sell them on in order to be sustainable'. that's much more of a grey area, and what it actually does imply is that...
close to joining Angers in ligue 1 on loan.

perfect loan move imo, we'll finally see if he can cut it at a higher level across 38 games (injuries permitting, of course)
yes but the goal isn't to stand still. depending on what you believe we've been happy to offer significantly more money for certain players, deals that then haven't come off for whatever reason.
if we're set on establishing ourselves in the top ten then we need to change the calibre of talent...
where's the OP rushing to spend £30M? they just say it will happen at some point, which it probably will. and it doesn't require us changing the model we use currently to do so.
this, I don't get why some fans think that just cause we aren't chasing mercenaries on insane wages, we aren't willing to financially extend ourselves for the right players. yes, people will mention the money we owe TB but he's shown no inkling of wanting returns yet and seems committed to...
very outdated article but some of these turned out okay for at least one of the clubs involved

absolutely no chance I could see us paying the £20+ million Chelsea would want for colwill and then loaning him out. plus he's easily good enough to play in the PL already imo
if we're playing a back three and we signed him then you have webster, dunk, colwill and jpvh who are natural...
not a massively reliable source but we're being linked with Swansea keeper Steven Benda as a potential backup option. assume that would see Steele move to 3rd choice or sold as he still has a year (i think?) to go till his contract is up...
not even sure what the point of these threads are when it's obvious that they'll be closed very quickly and remain shut until said legal case has concluded

really nice to see. don't want to digress, but this is exactly the sort of thing local community newspapers should be there for.
re sully: he was before my time but that's only meant that my idea of him as a player is somewhat folkloreish, based upon stories from older relatives, but from what...
