JimmytheJimster Posted January 29, 2020 Report Share Posted January 29, 2020 That's where are problems lie, with out champions league football or the pull of London we end having to pay more in wages and that only attracts players with no real ambition.

dunlopp9987 Posted January 30, 2020 Report Share Posted January 30, 2020 If this ends up being rubbish, and Barcelona leaked to the press that they "submitted" a "bid" just to unsettle Richarlison, there's going to be some sort of repercussions. Also would be strange for them to pull a stunt like that when it seems they have a decent relationship with us from the Mina, Digne and Gomes signings.

Shukes Posted January 30, 2020 Report Share Posted January 30, 2020 Very simple for me. Will we be better off with him, or without him? Without him, we will have a bigger bank balance, but will be shitter to watch. Bailey, StevO and markjazzbassist 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nogs Posted January 30, 2020 Report Share Posted January 30, 2020 If Barca have come in for him, then let's face it his head will have been turned. We'd be mad to sell now but it will be one to watch in the summer. Sadly given the lack of activity this window I think we're also in a position where we need to sell to buy.

Hafnia Posted January 30, 2020 Report Share Posted January 30, 2020 You don't bring in a manager who is experienced in managing elite level players at the highest level and sell one of your only elite level players and leave him with £80m to try and convince elite level players to sign and join the abundance of mercenaries we've got stinking our club out. If we wanna raise £80m then sell pickford, schneiderlein, Walcott, niasse, gylfi, Keane and You will find you free up £25m a year in wages too. I say pickford because we could sell him and replace for alot less and get a more emotionally reliable keeper. The only reason to keep him is shot stopping..... and it ain't great enough to exclude his shortfalls in other areas.

Alan Myers? He just reports what Sky tell him to report, and Sky make shit up all the time. They're the TV version of TalkSport and The Daily Mirror. I'm not saying it's not true but I won't be worried we're going to lose him now just because good old Alan is the one to have broken the story.
