I think we’ll get away with it in the championship but there is no way we can re establish in the PL. the size of the steps that need taking to do that are way beyond him. (Rudkin)

Big salary = superstar ? That’s not what I wa getting at. A superstar thinks he’s better than the rest of his team. That he doesn’t need to work as hard. Etc etc The club elevate him ahead of his team mates for commercial reasons.

their wages are considerably reduced this season if they can find a gig in the PL then they’ll leave for sure - the question is whether the club are prepared/psr able to accept lowball fees

Nah - he’ll be fine at this level

How big a squad are you expecting us to have ? we could easily lose seven players without needing to bring anyone in coady, Faes, ndidi, soumare, BDCR, ayew, mads and there’s probs more than that Nelson, souttar, hamza coming back youngsters coming through only need to buy a CF imo (although physicality holding midfield a concern - assume hamza will fill in there).

To add that Chelsea are likely to be steam rollered in the final

Absolutely- but it’s all a derivative of pep’s game

The opposite happened to me when I was up last week (ie. Made me chuckle’ ) i noticed a sign on the ring road which said ‘All Tourist Routes’ ………

It’s pepball on steroids no’ ‘superstars’ - everyone works their balls off but keeping them at that level will be tough assuming they win this to follow on from the CL

Seriously? how does that make any sense ? arsenal v Madrid and arsenal v psg told you everything you needed to know about this evenings likely result

Our spend is relative to who we have to sell eg. If we dont sell everyone then we dont really need to buy apart from a CF which could well end up a free (anyone available ?)

Did we find out why Newey left ? he was pretty vague - ‘being true to himself’ maybe it was to do with Horner and his personnel issues - the car not performing as it usually does has perhaps concentrated minds as to why that is this season.

If it’s true then must be some clauses in his severance agreement if he takes a job whilst he’s still on gardening leave.

Btw, lots of these media folk were telling us it was potter a year ago

Is cifuentes with wasserman ? if not then from what I’ve worked out from this forum, he won’t be our new head coach

Bit weird that he’s got to sort out a severance package when he’s already left by mutual consent. Perhaps he’s got an agreement where they keep paying him until he finds a new job and at that point he has to negotiate a settlement.

Agree 100% win win if that’s the choice

Agree although there are some on here who quite like it 😉

God she’s super noisy today

So top flew back to Thailand to collect a briefcase full of used notes to pay our wages this week sheff wed were playing hardball and when they saw that top had flown back they thought we were serious about pulling out so changed their tone so we’ve managed to win a negotiation without trying have I got this right ?.

Are Brentford still chasing DR ?

Rooney? gerrard? there are others too

Or they’re bullshitting who is going to call them out ?
