It's Quiet 17 - Glory Thread

[Dribble]

I'm sure we had a minus net spend last season as well, Grealish was the only signing for 100m but I think we recouped 109m. The transfer strategy is definitely changing at City and it must be ffp related. Other clubs in the prem must be very close to being done re ffp, some of the spending is pretty reckless and the clubs aren't really selling to buy

Apparently Arsenal have been placed on UEFA's FFP watch list...

Worse case scenario for these clubs is the negotiate a settlement fee and they carry on with it being a first time offence! The way we got treated was a fcuking disgrace

With what's happening at Barça & with Chelsea utilising the amended rule that new owners can spend what they like for 3 seasons during an accelerated investment period, I think we can safely assume FFP is dead for everyone else bar City.

After all, it was originally conceived, designed & constructed to stop City with the other clubs getting caught up in a web of their own spinning.

This small squad will I think come back to bite us on the arse.

Yep, I agree, its going to fuck our season right up. There are some very good players up for grabs in this transfer window but for some reason we're just ignoring them, I don't know why, it's not as if we're skint, I thought were in the black.
Like you say I think it will cost us this season I'm not expecting much in the way of silverware that's for sure.

The big difference with the timing if the World Cup this year is that normally the tournament is done before the summer transfer window gets going. So players move after the squads are finalised. Some get moves on foot of the tournament but the key is that World Cup doesn’t really negatively effect the transfer market other than make logistics of transfer more awkward.

As the World Cup is later some players may have preferred to stay put in the summer to minimise disruption and keep their place in their international squad. Once the tournament is over players may be happier to move. As a result January may be a little busier than normal.

Plagued by injuries already. Ake and Laporte out, Philips out and possibly Grealish. Imo we need another centre half at least as lets not forget Stones is also a bit injury prone.

I wonder if the plan is to drop out of the League Cup and FA Cup and focus on PL and CL.
I doubt we have the players to do all four. We have some promising youngsters, but not even Palmer is ready to play every week.

We haven't done that ever. Not going to start now.

Why?

No need to do this, we should take seriously every competition if we want to still maintain to be an ambitious club status.

The moment we start half assed one of the competition is the moment of our downfall.
