Where did I say I was telling them? I just said I was surprised that top players want to play in a crap league just because of money?Come on mate, this is a tiresome argument at this point but nobody is in a position to tell someone else how much money they should have.
There’s no place for common sense in a thread that is fuelled by overwrought clamour. Have a word with yourself.People getting anxious over not signing Guimares or a KDB 'replacement' should he leave, maybe think back to how long the club took to sign Rodri. Who btw was then claimed to be a backup for Dinho, who was the lynch-pin playing constantly.
Didn't go for Fred in the end, didn't get anyone when they missed out on Jorginho, waited till the right player i.e Rodri was available and signed him. Same with Ruben. Or the Aguero replacement. The club have shown they would rather wait and get key players right, then rush getting someone in, or overpay for someome.
We are lucky to have the flexibility and a manager that knows what to do when it comes to making do till the time is right for the right players for the long term.
Last year it was Bellingham/Rice as 'Pep's no.1 target' we just Had to sign, this year it is Guimarez. But we were fine without them and will be fine if we don't sign him either.
You said "How much money does a millionaire footballer need?", to me that is trying to telling someone they can't go and earn more money but lets move on from that part.Where did I say I was telling them?

I stand by that statement, as luckily most do not and are happy with the £200k plus a week they earn in the PL.
Agreed but a fail to see why we signed Nunes, looked like a panic buy to mePeople getting anxious over not signing Guimares or a KDB 'replacement' should he leave, maybe think back to how long the club took to sign Rodri.

Its not a case of the rest of the players being happy with what they earn, 99.9% of them aren't being given offers like what Ederson apparently has on the table. So far it seems that everyone they have come after they have got.

Sorry mate but he was panic buyThink time will tell. The club did try sign him before he went to wolves, remember. So it wasn't that much of a panic buy, more getting a player in they had linger term interest in. Some called Ruben a panic buy, if you remember. He may yet have a part to play, let's see.
Sorry mate but he was panic buy
No getting away from it - plan D after Bellingham, Rice and Paqueta. We went on a right merry go round with midfielders last year and ended up with Nunes
We needed a midfielder
So its not a panic buy at all is it. He was the fourth option on the list.Sorry mate but he was panic buy

It's fine if we don't end up with Bruno G, it's not fine however if we don't end up with an adequate backup for Rodri which most people see Bruno G as. They're conflating the 2, if we don't get Bruno G they seem to think we won't get a back up at all.People getting anxious over not signing Guimares or a KDB 'replacement' should he leave, maybe think back to how long the club took to sign Rodri.
