I'm comparing his style not his ability level.

It is interesting Swiss Ramble predicted we could probably afford to lose around -79m this season and still hit the PL PSR limit for the 3-year cycle end 24/25. At the moment, if you assume we will roughly make the same income from commercials (Matchday, Broadcast, etc.) as the last relegation season (22/23) and guess wages and the other things you can work out pretty accurately, like amortisation and income from player sales, we should have some headroom. Even if you crank wage up to a hideous 160m, which is only 30m less than 22/23, we should have 10m headroom easily. Even if we got relegated we would still be in an ok position to meet the Championship P & S limit of -61m for the 3-year cycle ( 1 x PL season 2 x Champ season limit). The only conclusion I can draw is we still have a massively hideous wage bill worse than the 160m I mentioned, all the squad remaining from the PL seasons will have been bumped back up to their PL wages, and the likes of Winks and Coady have had stupid clauses giving them similar wages, we have then resigned Ndidi, Vardy and Vestergaard on decent PL wages, add to the likes of Ayew, BDCR and Skipp on crazy PL money and paying off Dooper.

Whilst they are probably guessing right, Tanner and OPA generally have no idea.

Player development isn't about play at the highest level available it's about play at the right one. Just don't think he's ready for the PL, he may not be ready for the Championship. All our success academy products had spells on loan at lower leagues Chilwell, Barnes and KDH.

Looking forward to the odd glimmer of hope and then to be totally disappointed at 11:30 WELCOME TO DEADLINE

I'd rather Alves get use to the Championship and get some confidence and be ready for next year. Monga isn't going to play in the until we can secure him on a contract.

They just aren't compatible, Faes is in a similar mold to Soyuncu, rash and aggressive and likes to win the ball. Soyuncu had Evans whilst not quick he had good positioning and read the game well, Vestergaard has no pace and has pretty poor positional play and reading the game. CB need to compliment each other, these two don't. Problem is we have a poor mix at CB.

He's poor, but you would have to be Maldini to cover for JV.

Can also play LW.

IN: 2 no idea who. OUT: Alves

We are the runt of the litter wanting for the scrap once all the other dogs have eaten.

Whilst I don't disagree with you, being surrounded by great players helps.

Poor game of safety first football.

Irrelevant really as I'm not!

Doesn't stop Man City being boring to watch......

Pep hopefully crash and burns, he's style of football is so boring.

No Wednesdays are much worse! Chairman is a total cracking pot!

Great weekend 3 crap management appointments in one season well done.

On Osmajic?

Who got to goal?

Jesus that's desperate.

Give up! It's like groundhog day!

I love someone to explain what our strategy as a club is.

Why we trying to sign a 31 year old winger

It clear we still aren't in a great position from a PSR point of view and need the massive losses of both 21/22 and 22/23 to drop off. Which makes me even more annoyed by the signing of Ayew and Skipp. For 30m we could have brought in 3 or 4 young players gambled on the possibility of generating some of income from developing and selling them on.
