To be fair there aren’t many places they can all go. You’ve got Man City, Barcelona, Real Madrid, Juventus and PSG. Maybe Bayern. I don’t think you lot will want any of our players again which everyone agreed with on here a while back. Juventus and Bayern won’t have the money. PSG, Neymar aside, players usually go to later on in their careers. Leaves the usual 2.
I think in the past we’ve been so inconsistent and players want to compete for honours. We couldn’t even guarantee them we could compete. I do think we are now more stable than we’ve been for over 20 years. And the dross being offered up by the Rags, Chavs and Arsenal, means although we won’t get 90+ points next season there’s no way we’ll be down with those teams. They need to be watching out for Wolves, Everton and maybe a few others. Arsenal are the Liverpool of 10 years ago, maybe slightly worse.
I do think we will end the season without a trophy but the fans are happy. Sounds weird to you lot I know as you’ve been racking up the medals lately. But for the first time in a long time it feels like we can really compete. Winning is great, but we haven’t even been competing for a long time. And to compete does feel good I have to admit.
No idea about tonight. Depends how we set up. Away performances at Napoli and PSG have me scared.
