Financial services firm Deloitte has once again released its Football Money League, charting the massive revenues of Europe's biggest football clubs. 14th highest revenue in one year does not equal 14th richest club overall.

Wrong. You need to read past the headlines, which are often misleading, intentionally superficial and pimped (and usually not established by the actual writer of the article): a) You're quoting from a piece that covered the 2016-17 season b) The article itself is about financial revenue in said season, not how "rich" we as a club/the owners actually are c) Deloitte operate with their own keys and figures, no way or shape is it accurate - there are tons of such "reports" from other rivalling firms Our revenue has decreased ever since and that will be visible in the next Deloitte report.

Webbo Posted 28 May 2018 Posted 28 May 2018 The thing about the 14th richest club is that the money in the prem means any team in it will be in the top 30/40. It's not like we're playing teams a hundred places below us. It's all relative. 1

copunk Posted 28 May 2018 Posted 28 May 2018 Shocks me how many seem to leave iborra out of there starting 11s next season, it's no coincidence our run of poor form seemed to coincide with his absence through injury, he's a massive calming influence for us and is the most composed passer of the ball we have 3

He was a poor buy for me, he's not an automatic first team player, 30 years of age and cost £12m to be a squad player. There's no chance we get our money back on him and he probably leaves here on a free when his contract is up. Sevilla probably couldn't believe their luck when they had agreed to sell him to Sunderland for £7m the season before. It was money for old rope. I can't have him ahead of Ndidi or Silva. I'm not saying he's a bad player because he isn't but he doesn't improve us. I'd rather have the £12m and rely on James, King and Choudhury to replace him. I believe Puel would never have sanctioned buying Iborra for £12m. Edited 28 May 2018 by Gerard 2

I believe Puel would never have sanctioned buying Iborra for £12m. Spot on. Iborra is obviously not a bad player, but his signing seems to follow some other recent signings we have made in hoping desperately to get an immediate short term replacement. This desperation has had us buy Slimani, Iborra and Musa Its fair enough because especially the season after we won the title we needed someone who could come in and do a job Hopefully with Puel now we will look to buy more sensible long term signings who can play now but have the best years ahead of them 1

You talk about improving the squad. Iborra did that in the summer with our midfield. Most fans were happy and saw it as an "improvement" on our summer squad. To say you'd still rather have James, King, or Choudhury to replace Iborra is not improving the squad, as Iborra is a better player than all 3. Again, funny when he got injured, our form turned to shit. He finally started a game against West Brom, we win 4v1. True, Iborra isn't the future, he's not a Puel player, and you're right £12m was an over-priced buy from Rudkin. But you're giving him a disservice by saying he doesn't improve us and that those 3 players you exemplified are better than him.

It was me that said not @AlloverthefloorYesNdidi When you buy a player of Iborra's age for £12m improving the squad is not enough. When he came here it looked like he was going to play second fiddle to Ndidi and Drinkwater. That was always going to be a bad VFM buy. In hindsight Iborra has been a bad buy because James has been chosen over him many times and Choudhury is adequately filling that role as the squad midfielder. Puel I believe has the same opinion as myself in that good money should only be spent on first team players or young players with potential. Puel soon tried to shift older squad players who aren't first team choices like Slimani, Ulloa and King. We also sent Mendy on loan when he could have fulfilled Iborra's place in the squad.

YesNdidi Posted 28 May 2018 Posted 28 May 2018 I think Iborra is criminally underrated by some on here. Yes he’s not much going forward, but that’s not his job. He has excellent composure on the ball, always picks the right pass, and has the aerial threat and physical presence that we sometimes lack in set-piece situations. 1

I agree when we was playing well in that run of form he was one of the reasons why
AlloverthefloorYesNdidi Posted 28 May 2018 Posted 28 May 2018 I think Iborra is decent. The point about him being made is he is obviously one to bolster the squad for the present, not the future

He doesn't always pick the right pass though, just like Silva he's guilty of some criminal passing at times. 1
