Genie Posted March 31, 2022 Share Posted March 31, 2022 €140m for Coutinho was also absolutely bonkers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
maqroll Posted March 31, 2022 Share Posted March 31, 2022 (edited) 5 subs. Another knife in the back of non Sky clubs. Over the course of a season, this will bury sides that can't bring Galacticos off their bench. Really sickening move by the PL.

sne Posted March 31, 2022 Share Posted March 31, 2022 Yeah 5 subs is a garbage rule that's designed to benefit the big clubs and keep them happy. On the bright side we actually have a squad now so there will be a fair number of clubs who will benefit less from this than us. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nigel Posted March 31, 2022 VT Supporter Share Posted March 31, 2022 5 subs will also benefit our kind of clubs that are trying to develop young talent. Its not all bad! 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There is an upside - but of course the elites will horde their hugely expensive talent. Man City losing to Southampton and can bring on four attacking players with 15 minutes to go is simply a disgraceful capitulation. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know it does theoretically help the bigger clubs, but in reality Klopp and Guardiola barely ever use 3 subs as it is. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Phil Silvers Posted March 31, 2022 Share Posted March 31, 2022 You do all realise that this is just the next stage, it WILL get to 11 subs eventually, it's unstoppable, it's how things work and as time goes by it just gathers pace, the game, will well and truly, be gone a lot quicker then people think.
