duncanmckenzieismagic Posted July 23, 2021 Author Report Share Posted July 23, 2021 I get the feeling we are just clearing out the deadwood to make room on the wage bill before making at least one big signing Im still hopeful ( yes I know that’s what kills you!) of this being a good window for us Basie,Besic,Walcott and Bernard already gone and rumours of exits for Gomes, Tosun, Delph () and James ( hope not) leaving should surely give us some wriggle room with FFP?

Please read ZME Science report on why Nestle is one of the the most hated companies in the world, it cannot bear to shock you unless you are a raving capitalist or arsehole, great example of companies with huge debt operate to keep shareholders happy and the company afloat. zmescience.com search for why is Nestle one of the most hated companies in the world. Wow that article is unbalanced But that wasnt the point. My point was that debt isn't necessarily a bad thing in big business. If you have any examples of a ethical, for-profit company, I'll check the debts of them too. But end of the day, debt does not necessarily mean bad. Simple as that.

AlbanyNYToffee Posted July 26, 2021 Report Share Posted July 26, 2021 Encouraged by the 3 signings for a net spend of 1.5 million. Whether we like it or not we have to assume we're done signing wingers so our only major hole left to fill is RB. While most of us expect Kean gone, he's the backup ST we need until he officially leaves. GK: Pickford Begovic J Virginia RB: Coleman Kenny CB: Godfrey Keane Mina Holgate Branthwaite LB: Digne Nkounkou CM: Allan Doucoure Delph Gomes Gbamin Davies Wingers: Richarlison Gray Iwobi Gordon Townsend No10: James Siggy ST: DCL Kean Tosun Perfect world: buy Dumfries or Aarons, buy Kouliabaly or Lenglet, buy McNeil or Saint-Maximin, buy backup ST. Sell Keane Delph Gomes Iwobi Kean Tosun. Loan J Virginia Kenny Branthwaite Gordon. Minimum: buy Dumfries or Aarons. Sell Delph Iwobi Tosun. Loan J Virginia Kenny Branthwaite Gordon.

Aidan Posted July 31, 2021 Report Share Posted July 31, 2021 Well it's not going well so far is it? Gray and Townsend whilst Villa sign Buendia and probably Bailey. These are the players we should be going for. It's difficult to have any hope of achieving anything this season. It's been a bit embarrassing from the minute Ancelotti left really with obvious things out of the club's control but nevertheless many things fully in the club's control. markjazzbassist 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shukes Posted July 31, 2021 Report Share Posted July 31, 2021 I don’t think it’s anywhere near as bad as you think. Goalkeeper cover, which was needed. winger that can cross, which we were desperate for. An option for a 10 that was fast and tricky, and can also easily play on a wing. I honestly don’t think we’re that far away. As for Bailey. Is he any good? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
