So what is costing us? We’re nowhere near Liverpool and Arsenal at the moment, and the gap is getting bigger.
I agree that list is a bloody good set of players, so I’m guessing our main issues are the lack of goalscoring or creative wingers and no decent full backs.
You didn't just respond that's the thing, you responded with a paragraph of crap which was never said, You came out with that nonsense, not me.So how many years do you expect Dumfries to want at 29? And not to try and get a pay rise as City's starting right back at one of the world's richest clubs?
You said "we should inquire" and I just responded with what it seemed like a market rate would be. Don't really need to be his agent to do that.
If at any time, outside of the Champions League, we see 2 goalkeepers sat on the bench again, then I will be upping my tincture dosage.still time left. Viana is busy. sadly only with getting rid of some players not incomings.
so far its Ederson, Akanji, Kabore out, Donnnarumma in and some youth players also moved.
Wilson Esbrand, Gundo, Phillip, Ortega still looking for a club?
if we get this 7 out from, 1 in, is that enough for Pep quantity wise or wants more to go? then we start to rack up injuries once games coming every 3 games and have Braithwaithe play for us again and instead of 9 subs named we just name 7. :)
Can’t see it happening myself, but here’s hoping.If we were to pull a rabbit out of a hat, we'd need to hear something about it in the next hour, you'd imagine - with medicals and contracts etc.

Even if we were to give him more than what he's on now which is (95k a week) we could possibly him (120k a week) and a four year deal which would take him to the age of 32 years old on top of us getting a really good right back in a position we need along with selling a player on bigger wages that doesn't get a game.
You can give him 250k a week seen as you said he's on 200k, you can also hive him a 6 year deal.
Playing with Haaland is like playing with 10 men at times.The spine is now Donnarumma, Dias , Rodri and Haaland. Only question mark there is Dias.
Gvardiol, surely?The spine is now Donnarumma, Dias , Rodri and Haaland. Only question mark there is Dias.
Problem is only 5 of those names were available yesterday and 1 not even fully fit. On paper we have a good nucleus, but getting them fit and playing consistently is another matter.
At times?Playing with Haaland is like playing with 10 men at times.
Ironically that's a good argument for not seeing the Brighton result as totally indicative of the real measure of this team.
Plus we're running on no pre-season.
having Grealish, Akanji out on loan with us paying part of their salaries. hope this makes Viana rethink when he hands out big salaries at new transfers or renewals. he has to learn from errors made under Txiki regime. he has to deal with some of consequennces of that too.
Akanji must have not been on extreme salary at Dortmund he wasnt even a regular starter there I think, how he ended up on 150K+ salary here?
dont get me started on Grealish taking home more for years than likes of Rodri, Gundo etc.
(oh and Phillips 150K too with resale value of a chicken breast..)
so strange, doubt he was on even 1/3rd of that at Dortmund and arrived as a rotational cheap signing.Akanji was on £180k a week.
It's why I think he was reluctant to move, especially at the age he was on.
I wouldn't have been surprised if Palace were offering less than £100k a week.
In the end it, it was always going to be a loan.
Take this season as a transitional one, new players need to learn the system, no right back so we will be targeted there. I reckon we hover around 3rd/4th.
