How can the financial microscope be on us when we're posting profits of more than half a billion quid?The player we target is normally high value. Look at gvardiol. The one in one out policy is another indication. The whole no value in the market is a ruse. Plenty of players we could be targeting. Mahrez is certainly replaceable. Gundo probably not.
Someone said it earlier, we have plenty of good players but not enough match winners. They cost a lot of money unfortunately.
The financial microscope is on us like a rash.
The squad is fantastic but we lack a creative player. Games would be won so much easier. Haaland’s ability’s are wasted in some games.
Pep said we waiting on a few to leave would also suggest financial restraint.
Probably the kane one - the loons in there still think it's on.What is the longest thread for a signing (that ultimately got over the line) in this place? I ask because I can't wait for the bloody window to close so I can take a break from the Bat Flap Cave Forum. I hate it. It's a Groundhog Day hell hole and rubbish.
Going to take a random guess and say this deal is off for now.
RB seem in no rush to sell, Laporte to be kept a year and we will go in again for this lad January or next summer.
Maybe we just don't think he's worth more than we offered and that's the end of it.Maybe that ends up happening, but make that much sense. Laporte's value will only drop next summer. Gvardiol's won't, his release clause is still over 100m. If it is finance driven as some suggest, them buying now and letting Laporte go makes more sense than waiting.
At least give Perrone a chanceits squad space thats playing a role in my opinon we have 2 spaces currently. Until others such as laporte. cancelo and perrone have gone either on loan or sold.
I expect things will really ramp up when we get home
The club is always under scrutiny. The other teams you have mentioned can do what they want without so much as a column popping up in the mail.How can the financial microscope be on us when we're posting profits of more than half a billion quid?
The microscope should be on the red mardarses and Chelsea after them getting done for FFP but look at them spunking money, especially the rags. Those fines have done absolutely nothing to stifle their spending so why should we be under scrutiny?
Isco’s still has to be going somewhereWhat is the longest thread for a signing (that ultimately got over the line) in this place? I ask because I can't wait for the bloody window to close so I can take a break from the Bat Flap Cave Forum. I hate it. It's a Groundhog Day hell hole and rubbish.
I dont think he stays this season i think he ends up at girona.At least give Perrone a chance
Surely the Messi one?Probably the kane one - the loons in there still think it's on.
They can make room. There’s no squad space issues in pre-season, the champions league squad list isn’t due until the week the group stage kicks off.its squad space thats playing a role in my opinon we have 2 spaces currently. Until others such as laporte. cancelo and perrone have gone either on loan or sold.

Or it suggests that he's aware of squad limits?The player we target is normally high value. Look at gvardiol. The one in one out policy is another indication. The whole no value in the market is a ruse. Plenty of players we could be targeting. Mahrez is certainly replaceable. Gundo probably not.

Maybe you are correct on both counts or maybe it’s a mixture of squad limit and ffp.Either way it was obvious last season and more so now that Gundo is gone that we need a creative player. The drop from Kev is massive.Or it suggests that he's aware of squad limits?
I highly doubt that FFP is anything more than something to be aware of.
What do you mean down the road, are you telling me there Is more than one Tesco?Have you tried down the road yet?
Maybe we just don't think he's worth more than we offered and that's the end of it.
Just think what we could have won last season if only we'd had another creative player ;)Maybe you are correct on both counts or maybe it’s a mixture of squad limit and ffp.Either way it was obvious last season and more so now that Gundo is gone that we need a creative player. The drop from Kev is massive.
I can understand why we want gvardiol but not at the expense of a genuine world class attacker. Seems silly that we can only negotiate with one player at a time. I would be disappointed if we don’t address the issue above. Defensively the team is still strong but going forward we are not clinical.
We will be ok next season either way.
I can't tell you that but a lot of people go shopping in 'Tescos' so there must be more than one.What do you mean down the road, are you telling me there Is more than one Tesco?
That Community Shield loss still stings.Just think what we could have won last season if only we'd had another creative player ;)
What makes you think we can only negotiate with one player at a time? None of us have a clue how busy they are behind closed doors.
I hate it when people say “The Arsenal” it’s fecking Arsenal there is no “The” before it!I can't tell you that but a lot of people go shopping in 'Tescos' so there must be more than one.
