Other Clubs' Transfers

City and Manu seem to have a ‘no fucks given’ attitude to wage rises then!

I was gonna say this. If in fact we are offering Sanchez and Özil north of £300k then yeah it’s difficult to do business if you don’t know whether or not you are going to have £40m on your wage bill. However this is where the lack of management in the boardroom really shows. We obviously have no plan because you can’t sit around on your hands and wait. You have to have some fucking plans.

only when they are in my bathroom :wink:

Yea, there’s something about being able to use increased commercial revenue to further increase wages. I dont know enough about their finances to be able to say how they can do that.

There are multiple players who have no future here who we can rid off to comply with the rules regarding wages I reckon.

Furthermore we decide when they leave. Even if they want to go we can force them stay for another year. This is a bit of a weak excuse imo, if true.

I don’t disagree.

Well what do you expect when you sign two world class players three years ago, and still haven’t bought a third, fourth, fifth world class player for them to play with. They will lose faith eventually.

Yep and on my wishlist… not sure why we wouldn’t have been in for him. Good signing for 'Pool. Him and Sane are going to be devilish on the wings.

Would be a really good signing for them if it goes through.

@Burgundy thanks for sharing, totally changed my perspective on the player.

Looking forward to seeing how Salah.

Great signing if true, will be a short term fix for one of Citeh’s biggest weak spots.

A reliable Nice source reporting that Alassane Plea is a priority for Lyon. Not sure if that means anything in regards to Lacazette, I’d guess it doesn’t only because I’m not sure they’d replace Lacazette with a guy that has had 3 major knee injuries at only 24 years old, 2 in the last 2 seasons.

They have Depay, Cornet, bought Traorè, Lacazette… Plea isn’t a player which you sign to keep on the bench. If they are really interested, are preparing the Laca departure.

Would be a good move. Much better than Szczesny

Agreed.

Bullshit and Pickford is better.

And younger.
