I'm questioning your repeated assertion that Elneny is no better than what we have after you've already admitted it's based on very little knowledge of the subject ('I don't have a solid opinion on Elneny as I haven't seen him play too often'). You have (AFAICS) come up with a laughably simple formula - 'peripheral player for top six club cannot be better than peripheral player for us'. I'm also questioning your comment that 10 million is 'big money' or the implication that it's the sort of figure that should guarantee first team football. Every post you make, every single one makes me glad I’m not the one debating with you. You are the Mike Tyson of the debate world. Good words always.

Guest Posted 5 January 2019 Share Posted 5 January 2019 22 hours ago, Gerard said: The big six in England The big three in Spain Bayern and Dortmund PSG Juventus The rest we're in a race with, we're still behind the likes of Napoli, Inter and a few more but the rest we can compete with for a player. Not sure you're on the same planet as me. If we're so big then how come, even after we'd been crowned champions of England and were about to play in the Champion's league we still couldn't sign elite players or even near elite players. In fact players chose to go to other teams - not listed above - rather than play for us. There are many more clubs that players would rather sign for and live in the City of than the 13 you have mentioned there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Some players like to live where the women are ridiculously hot. Some players like vibrant cities with amazing nightlife. Some players want great weather and no snow on the field when they play. Players make decisions based on a number of factors. Leicester isn't pulling players out of Benidorm because some single issue voter wrote an article conflating club value with broadcast and central income distribution in the Prem.

Yes really So you think we are more attractive to players than AC Milan, so you think Higuain would have choose us over them if we'd gone for him on loan in the summer, like they did? Quincy Promes would have chosen us over Seville if we were interested. Edited 6 January 2019 by coolhandfox Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not saying we're a bigger club or better destination than Sevilla but we compete for similar players and pay better wages so yes we could have arguably got Promes ahead of Sevilla if we wanted him.
