Can you confirm you don't trust pep ? Cheers..Why do we need another winger in Leao Or Felix?
Don't trust in Pep to use Foden Grealish Alvarez Haaland Palmer Mahrez properly?
I'd have thought soI'm not actually sure its true. Doesn't a club need permission from the selling club ie a fee having been agreed?
The sheikh is wanting to see a return nowThe question is what are we saving up for?
We would normally come out of a window 100M down
In theory yes in practice noI'm not actually sure its true. Doesn't a club need permission from the selling club ie a fee having been agreed?

I've not checked but I'd guess it's the same idiots posting nonsense in the Vikki Kloss thread.It's also absolute bollocks. Phillips didn't have a release clause and we paid far less than was being reported.
Alvarez didn't have a release clause and most people would agree we've got him for an absolute bargain price.
The Txiki narrative created by some on here is tiresome shite.
You'll never see him in the same room as @MillsyTheMosherOr he's going to get bored and do one?
Your posts mate are something else.

He's on a Arry Redknapp style 20% of all transfer income received ;) topping the pension fund up nicely.You have to go back to 2017 for the last time we came out a window 100m down.
Since then it has been roughly 20m, 50m, 50m, 40m down.
The point is still valid, we usually don't seem to target net profit. Maybe txiki has been promised a bonus.
The link below shows the approximate quality and quantity of the top football squads Worldwide. It will become a lot clearer on 1st of September when players have been loaned out and the window closes. There are 6 players on our list who won’t be there then (not sure who some of them are!) and 4 additions (3 academy and Cuc) to come so the final number could be around 24.
I’ve no idea what the ideal squad size is for a top club but it does reinforce the idea that we have quality over quantity. “Depth“ is subjective and you would think is a combination of the two measures.
You don’t want vast quantities of rubbish you can’t shift (see United) but you also don’t want to suffer adversely from a few injuries either.
Interested to see what posters think is an ideal squad number. I’m sure you only register a certain number anyway. I guess it’s 25 plus players under 21 so we might have a few gaps. I guess as many as 4 would be under 21 taking us to 20 leaving 5 spaces unfilled.
