Finn balor Posted May 4, 2019 Report Share Posted May 4, 2019 Was interesting to see the walk around everybody looked relatively happy. Can see a big turnaround of players leaving. Baines,jags,McCarthy, Sandro,Williams, Cuco,garbutt, Galloway, tanashij, Tosun and hopefully Walcott. Get Henry back Vlasic, holgate and robinson. Sign Gomes and Zouma and a striker and right back. Send a few of the under 23s out on loan and we will be in decent shape Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Makis Posted May 4, 2019 Report Share Posted May 4, 2019 Main problem is finding someone willing to take those players. Some will leave but someone like Sandro could be hard to sell. Has been poor for two seasons and has a big wage. So another loan might be on the cards. Williams's contract runs out and Cuco and Bolasie look like they have found their level. Whether they are willing to accept a smaller wage is another matter. McCarthy is someone who still might have some value so might move to a bottom-of-the-table team or one of the better teams in the Championship. Tosun and Walcott are probably high on Brands's "must get rid" list, but could prove a hard sell, too, unless they take a big wage cut.

Finn balor Posted May 4, 2019 Report Share Posted May 4, 2019 Forgot about bolasie, I agree though Sandro has done nothing anywhere to suggest clubs will pay a fee for him. Bolasie will be on good wages aswell and the teams coming up won’t be paying huge wages like wolves and Fulham from last season. Walcott hopefully might go to someone like Bournemouth? I think palace were interested in Tosun a while back maybe they might again? Forgot about niasse aswell Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think any TV station "owns" a studio at any ground do they? Surely the club have the media facilities and the broadcaster of the day has the use of them (or not, as the case may be).

Yeah they will be club facilities, but Sky will surely set up camp in one of our two studios for the season? Would make sense as they will use it more than any other. I would think they could empty it out and refit every time there is a game, but then the studios will be different sizes at each ground. And then most of sky’s studio is green screen anyway, so fuck knows. Just paint them all green and leave it to whoever turns up. Now days the broadcaster of the actual match (in the league anyway) will always be Premier League TV won’t it? With Sky or BT just adding in their own bits either side of the PLTV broadcast. I’m pretty sure they control it all anyway, but that might have changed a bit since I last read up on it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You'd be amazed how quickly tech teams can build/decamp studios Ste (imagine having to do the The Grand Tour "tent" for example). I did a fair bit in my time building sets, sound, video etc facilities in hotel conference rooms for one night shows that blew the "audience" away (at that time, low tech by today's standards), then de-rigging and driving to the next venue to set up for the next night; was bloody hard work when we were on tour but I loved it ('specially having an expense account in 4/5 star hotels). I'm sure you're right that they all use the same camera feed though, never heard of PLTV but I'm sure you're right. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’m sure you never see a roadie with little arms. From what I remember Premier League TV is the company who sell the broadcasting rights, and control the filming of the matches, so the PL can keep hold of their own product a whole lot more. So wherever you watch in the world you see the same feed. Heard a really interesting idea from a Simon Jordan about how they could take the feed and broadcast it on the own online network, keep Sky, BT and all the others out of the loop and probably make ten times the money. All about controlling the money with the PL though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Finn balor Posted May 6, 2019 Report Share Posted May 6, 2019 Echo is reporting up to six signings in the summer. Gomes and Zouma hopefully then I would think right back,right midfield, and striker? Maybe another centre mid if gana goes? Brands is going to busy this summer Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Finn balor Posted May 6, 2019 Report Share Posted May 6, 2019 We’ve been linked with Julian Brandt aswell, attacking midfielder who can play in numerous positions. Completion for Gilfi deffo and apparently you can get him for 25 million €. I’d seriously be in for him Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
markjazzbassist Posted May 6, 2019 Report Share Posted May 6, 2019 If we keep Gana the 2 biggest needs for me are Striker and CM (Gomes). The rest will just need to be departures. Palfy 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

markjazzbassist Posted May 6, 2019 Report Share Posted May 6, 2019 i'm not sure why so many are confident we are getting Zouma. He said he wants to play for Chelsea, they have a transfer ban, he would walk into the starting lineup today. Has he indicated he wants to come here or something? All signs point to him going there and staying there. Shukes 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Think Onyekuru should get approved this year surely, will negate us having to sign another winger hopefully. Then Striker, Gomes, RB & Zouma. Loan Kenny out Coleman to compete with new RB, Holgate an option at CB and cover RB if we are desperate. If there’s no one in 23’s a promising LB to back up Digne when Baines moves on.

plaidharper Posted May 7, 2019 Report Share Posted May 7, 2019 Really hoping we can pull off Gomes and Zouma. Those two positions are not the easiest to fill in a transfer window. Just in the EPL: Man U could do with 3 or 4 CBs and Spurs will need midfielders due constant injuries / possible players leaving like Eriksen. Don't even want to think about back up targets until we know they are not happening (Brands better be though!) StevO 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
