Been the case for years now enzo got around it by keeping possession and working in the basis that the other teams weren’t good enough not to pass it back to us or miss any chances they created. our intensiteeeee is non existent. Would love to see how our sprints per game compare to other sides.

His psr value is now around 16m anything over 20m brings marti 5 x that difference to spend this year (but would have to make sales each summer to allow for 20% of any fee ). Assuming we haven’t budgeted to sell BEK, if we sold for 22m then marti could spend up to £25/30m to stand still on this seasons psr numbers - but we’d have to drive profitable sales of £5m each summer to cover this expenditure. Otherwise we’d just push losses forwards. but the likelihood would be that we’d just ease off trying to sell someone else we’d banked on moving (like bouba and JJ )

2 years from now - agree, I’d be amazed

We can’t sell him until he’s 17 ?? And whilst he looks like an amazing talent, no one knows how he will respond mentally to the money next season. Can’t see us getting anything like the sums some of you are imagining until he’s 18. And even then that will depend on what players were able to put out with him. If we surround him with average then he won’t be able to show his potential properly and his fee will be suppressed as a result.

True but he’s in and around them he’s sitting amongst them pre match and at half time and immediately post match. he’s training with them he’s travelling with them

He’ll be gone before we could get a maguire sized fee for him reckon end next season at best never going to drive the return on such a talent that we should be (both on and off the pitch) atm, most likely we’d squeeze £35m out of a Man City or Chelsea at 17 y o. He’s not a Lamal because we can’t give him the exposure or team he’d need to show that level of talent. and once the money starts rolling in for him next season no one knows what happens to his mentality.

Can’t be great for the kid to be in that dressing room atm

Sort of this - yes I could conceive of an arrangement where Russia get crimea and at least three of the oblasts and they allow Ukraine to have a security agreement with western powers (USA included) where it has protection if its attacked by a foreign power. No nato and no eu membership. Putin may calculate that he could manipulate a friendly govt in Kyiv within the next decade.

Some leaks that Putin wants the four oblasts and crimea. But he may negotiate a little away from Donetsk region. obviously Ukraine won’t agree to this but trump now says he wants a peace deal rather than a ceasefire and then negs (seems Putin talked him into this). European leaders could find themselves backed into a corner

Rudkin out ?

I think they’re allocated as a type of security against loans as required

The way daka and ayew handle the physical battles doesn’t help them get a decision V inconsistent sums his performance up

Apart from ditching Rudkin, what will new owners be able to do ? well clearly there’s a psyche at the club which has to change fast from the playing staff through to those responsible for strategy and decision making - it’s horrible

Some of this will surely change come September I’m not going to slam the fella cos I believe he isn’t playing the team he’d like to pick. if he is then he’s not who I thought he was.

Screaming at the tv - let him run why the hell doesn’t he let him go offside he’s just so used to dropping deep to cover his lack of pace that he can’t defend any other way How can the coach not know this and leave him at the base of a stretched defence ???

Just saying that their attention on JM should mean that a quick switch should have fats 1 v 1

Ayew is like watching the U10 where there’s one decent kid who thinks he’s better than everyone else and won’t pass to anyone

Judgement made that we need the extra few million more than the risk of not winning the games atm

They look like they don’t want to pick up a muscle injury expected need to know why players expecting to leave are being selected ahead of those who are staying ? I have my own theory and can’t think of anything else

Half of them are only playing to try and keep their values up If so, recipe for disaster in the short term but necessary due to our inept DOF

If we’re playing some of these to make sure we get a bigger fee then we can’t expect them to put in 100% well 95% cos they haven’t put in more than that for a long time ! be nice if a few of them passed the friggjng ball to each other higher up the pitch

He hit a good one once and the coach told him he’s taking all of them in future - including when he’s not on the pitch

Owners contribution is more restricted in the championship than it was in the PL. top is our majority owner we take sponsorship money from KP whether top is prepared to put any more funds in is very questionable whether king power are able to make a significant sponsorship deal is very questionable. hence we are relying on parachute payments to see us through the next couple seasons. Therefore we shouldn’t expect much transfer spend at all unless we make significant psr profitable sales. Thats more than we’ve done thus far. BEK for 24m isn’t sig either.

Or they’re lowballing on their offer

He’s good but not ‘that’ good doesn’t have English tax numbers need to improve we’d be ecstatic if we got 30m and the player really wants out
