I understand we have a ten million surplus from the Malen/ Tammy deal, taking in to account the younger kid.Wonder if we are lining up a big money signing and every penny counts, we will certainly know pretty soon???
1.) 24 Jan 2026 15:32:56
There's not a 10m surplus at all. 21m euros and Ozcan. Cash wise its about 3m if we're lucky.
2.) 24 Jan 2026 17:06:01
There are some loopholes around signing youth players so it’s possible that although we didn’t make cash profit on him it could contribute more than the 3 million towards psr.

Dave I think that Sky getting it wrong again, they reported we go something stupid like 30 m Euros for the kid . UTV

Playing devil's advocate, we'll sell Malen, Ollie gets an injury that sidelines him for a prolonged period, where does our striking force come from, Buendia is doing well but isn't a main striker, Guessed is a total misfit and isn't the answer in any position.
Sancho hasn't really put in a decent performance. With the FA cup, premier league and Europa on the horizon it's a real worry if we have an issue with our attacking options.

That says to me that getting Tammy in for £11M is a no brainer, there’s even talk that Spurs might try to hijack that too lol ?

Was Emi ever going to play against Arsenal tomorrow, something just doesn't feel right according to my youngest grandson, not sure myself if there is anything other than a back problem, but anything is possible in football, let's not forget Emi has a track record of missing games for what appears questionable reasons.
11 Nov 2025 11:02:23
Quote from a knowledgeable BBC sport journalist."While PSR may be limiting the club's ability to spend, tying down the core of the squad is arguably more important than signing the next £100m player".
Couldn't agree more.

I genuinely now think the quicker we get rid of Emery the better and he can take all the new signings with him.Football is dire tactics inept every team find us so easy to play against and yet Emery does nothing, boring predictable football equals failure.
1.) 17 Sep 2025 19:14:39
Something isn't right recruitment and player sales so off signing players and not playing them or loaning them out is nuts sign them to play them or don't sign at all, Enzo and kosta should be in and around this squad easy
2.) 18 Sep 2025 13:36:41
So Scot who would you replace him with?
3.) 18 Sep 2025 23:51:37
Mike Bassett!

Any more long term injuries to key players eg Konsa, Onana, Dougie and even Barkley we haven't got the quality in the squad to cope. It's definitely significantly impacted on our champions league ambitions. To lose our three midfielders us such a significant blow, we looked like a very average premier league side yesterday and our injuries have crippled us.
Obviously nobodies fault and Emery is a master tactician, unfortunately I doubt even he can' work miracles with what he currently has. Hope I'm I am miles of the mark, however, there is definitely a problem.
01 Feb 2026 21:17:54
Chelsea, Man Utd, Liverpool seem to have the momentum, Man City and Arsenal appear to be pretty much certs. Five champions league places available, are we able to fend one of the three I start with. Not with our injuries, I genuinely think it's a tall order. Next four games could well determine the final outcome, fingers crossed we aren't the team to miss out???
1.) 02 Feb 2026 10:42:08
I said 2 weeks ago that we were about to enter a season defining period, 7 games in 23 days and with the injuries we've suffered it's obvious our momentum has slowed down.
Yesterday's game was as frustrating as the previous home league game and we bounced back. I think it's going to be a bumpy road for the next 4 weeks.
31 Jan 2026 16:52:58
Does it make sense that we want Arsenal to beat all of our rivals to help our champions league chances, I can't see us catching Arsenal so it seems a sensible call to me.
1.) 31 Jan 2026 17:27:35
Yeh beat our rivals and lose to bottom half teams sounds about perfect ?
2.) 31 Jan 2026 18:03:05
It's called a true "win win" Whack.
31 Jan 2026 14:36:08
Whilst I wasn't on my own, I was extremely critical of Bailey his last season with us.I just listened to his interview on Sky and thought he spoke well and honest about the good and poor seasons in the past. That season when his confidence was sky high and the goals and assists were very common was brilliant, so I genuinely wish him well and hope I'm up there with the whole crowd at Villa park shouting his name, rather than the groans of his last season with us.
We need all hands to the pumps with our current injuries and Leon could play a vital part in our challenge for Champions League place which ever route that comes from.
1.) 31 Jan 2026 15:37:16
Scott, who would you rather have in the squad, Bailey or Guessand?
I know who I’d have.
Bailey has proved himself before, Guessand never played well for us.
2.) 31 Jan 2026 16:06:24
Trinity, Bailey all day long for me mate, he's proven he can do it, Guessand was one of our worst signings .
29 Jan 2026 15:11:05
If I was a top world class manager, Spanish, the family homesick and possibly the best job in the world offered to me is Real Madrid, would I seriously consider it, you bet I would.
1.) 29 Jan 2026 16:07:57
You'd be right to say that most would consider it.but equally, any manager looking to build a long term project and be given the time to develop a squad of his choosing and a culture of his making would probably think twice.
One of the biggest jobs in the footballing world, but equally one of the biggest risks.
15 Jan 2026 18:00:34
Dave it won't be the first mistake we have made recently
12 Aug 2024 16:33:45
With your there as well LOTM,
04 Jan 2023 16:08:37
Pity England wasn't a full time gig, Maguire would be in permanently. Man U defence with Maguire at the heart have been poor for a while, why would want a slow centre back.
27 May 2022 11:10:46
Its pretty much ball park what i thought, i think Elghazi will struggle to get anywhere near 10 i also think with ings wages, teams likely to want him will want to pay around 10 so he can maintain his wages.Ings still has time to run on his contract so he may want to sit tight, we would have to drop our valuation to get his wages off the books.
26 May 2022 19:49:24
Whack,Loti we are up to 15,how much do you think this lot would fetch?
01 Feb 2026 20:38:08
Whack, what's the saying of stupidity, doing the same thing over and over and getting the same result. Our attack down the left for the umpteen time failed miserably.Remember when teams needed a goal and the attacking plan wasn't working, high ball on the penalty spot and pick up the scraps. Onana Mings and Tammy all big tall guys why on earth didn't Emery change things and the short corners all also failed miserably.
Self inflicted defeat and not for the first time Torres failed to clear the ball leading to the goal. Two home league defeats against inferior teams and as teams now how to play against our predictable style unfortunately they won't be the last. Of course injuries have crippled us but against ten men with all that amount of possession it's extremely disappointing.
01 Feb 2026 11:34:19
Sounds like a good call for me Tone
31 Jan 2026 18:03:05
It's called a true "win win" Whack.
31 Jan 2026 16:09:58
Unfortunately I read it may have an option/obligation to buy, if it's the later I wouldn't let him go, unless Emery sees him as Guessand, Malen, Elliott.
31 Jan 2026 16:06:24
