I was also intrigued by your comment. How do you know that manager compensation can't be used in the PSR calcs?

We get £50m for Enzo and KDH. Then Potter comes in as manager. Decent.

Wasn’t this signing the outcome of the end of season review by the senior management team? That we lacked ‘leaders’ You need a group of players who are capable and driven. The whole ‘You need leaders in the team’ thing is so antiquated nowadays. Great to have around the place. Probably costs us £60k/week to have him around but still - Worth it!

£4-5m for Luke Thomas? To who!?

“I’ll probably stay if I don’t get a better offer” Wonderful to see the commitment and enthusiasm. Doubt he’ll have too many offers to be honest.

Hardly brainwashed. 1. There's usually less chance of making a profit or at least getting your money back by the time they've done 3+ years with you. 2. By 29 most professional footballers have 15 years+ of wear and tear on their legs. The ones that don't look after themselves and prioritise football at this point tend to start a decline around this age. Of course he could be a fantastic signing but you can't deny there's a lot more risk when paying a good chunk of money for a 29 year old?

I read all the time on here that Wes was slow. Just not true.

Preferable.

As in Dele Alli? Can’t be serious…

Surely they’re never going to get £20m for him!? Price would need to be less than half of that.

Casefile is my favourite for true crime. They Walk Among us is also decent - Covers cases exclusively from the UK, whereas Casefile is global.

Weaker squad in hindsight certainly, as we know now that their signings didn't work out. I wasn't necessarily surprised that they came back down, but I did expect them to give it a good go. Fair enough on Sheff Utd and Luton - But you are basically saying that you need to spend and risk a lot to compete. Which is all I was saying in terms of the gap between the leagues getting bigger. Or at least being as big as it's ever been.

I used to use the HIGH5 Zero tablets when I was training seriously. Highly recommended. Cost just under 15p per drink if you grab deals like this; https://www.amazon.co.uk/HIGH5-ZERO-Tropical-8x20-tabs/dp/B01BKN49DO/

This is exactly the sort of dynamism we're missing in the middle of the park. Not saying he's the one we need to go for - It's just the type of player I'd like us to bring in based on that video.

My point was that I am in agreement with the thread/article title - Despite it being 'lazy analysis'. Apologies if I was unclear.

Burnley won the league with 101 points then spent £100m? Barely even got close to staying up. Last season was an anomaly...and that's before you consider that Bournemouth and Fulham spent a healthy amount...and Forest went mental. The article is pretty spot on.

Definitely won't be popular but I fully agree with this. It's a good time.

Two absolutely brilliant away days!

...or having a sulk about the new salary he's been offered...

Yep. It annoyed me at the time that we didn’t turf Simpson out. As with Greenwood - Awful character.

Make the step up to where out of interest? He's definitely an interesting one - Record over the past few seasons is phenomenal....I don't think he even takes penalties for Notts Co. You'd think someone would take a punt on him this Summer...

Not sure if he's good enough to be honest but I can't help but like him. Can't we follow the way of the Italian clubs and renegotiate the fee down to around £1.5m? Good deal for everyone then!

Bold claim. Guess we'll see pretty soon if you're right.

Just watched a YouTube complication of him...just to remind myself how good he could be at times. Such a frustrating player - Should have absolutely dominated this season. Ah well, thanks for the memories Kel.
