Can’t compare the champ and prem. in a team that dominates possession, you need your cdm to be a tempo player who effectively dictates the game. In the prem with a lot less possession, that player has to be defensively solid and also physically v strong. Both of which are not wink’s strengths. Hence we’ve ended up with bouba and wilf as a double pivot holding mechanism with licence to break forwards on the ball. skipp similar to winks but a little more strength in contact. Either will be fine next season if we retain the technical levels across the squad to boss possession.

I think that’s correct

£10m per season apparently being paid by a business that turns over £140m. profit last year was 58m before the members took their cut - value of the business is 50m. Seems legit !

Palace have a fair chance of winning Man City are pretty woeful in comparison to their usual standards

Apparently Rory had to change his driver just before the opening round due to a non conformity issue. he hit 4 of 14 fairways on Thursday

wonder if there’s any chance that we sell him there and loan him back for next season. he’s probably not ready for them but they’ll get a much better price now given our situation

Imagine where we’d be without their overpayments on deals ??!!!

sadly probably true we likely need the money

Some people are in for a shock although the ‘live and let live’ crowd will pat him on the back !

Ngolo adds al itihad to the list of clubs he’s won the league with

Surely we would argue that we aren’t advertising bc game to the uk public but to a global audience ?? They can argue that we shouldn’t be showing names of betting companies that aren’t licensed in the uk but is it actually illegal to do so ?

If we have a full squad of 15 y olds then it won’t matter 😄

Youri’s intentions were clear when he only signed a four year deal. Sell me after year 2 or I’ll likely see out my four years and go on a free. his price end year 2 was at a high end year 2 after the fa cup win - but how many on here would have agreed to sell him at that point ??.

Ha But the reality of the decision to keep Goodson for the women is based on psr rather than anything else.

Spot on when this was first mooted I suggested this would be the likely outcome - ironically making less goals more likely as teams defend deeper and, given the desire to stay compact, average positions move closer to their goal. The game becomes much more defensive minded. they’re trialing it in lower levels and younger age groups - I doubt that will pick up the tactical nuances that will happen once it gets to the upper echelons of the game.

And there is the next problem that scenario on Sunday being onside is way worse than the marginal toenail offsides we currently get

am I right in thinking that in Arsene wenger’s revised offside world that this could be onside ??

Explains a lot

Could do with that level of clarity at the club !

Ah - shame

Bit confused how the dna test that cleared him was available ten years ago and yet it’s taken another decade for him to get justice

How do you know that it’s a nod and a wink rather than an official agreement ?

You don’t spend 20/25m on players with three year deals if you don’t think a player is worth longer than three years then you shouldn’t be spending more than £5m on them (which makes your point from the opposite direction)

Not sure if you can attach a pro contract to the end of the scholarship one then presumably it has to be honoured financially ? does anyone know the facts on this from real knowledge rather than what google and ChatGPT tells us ??
