Xela Posted May 26, 2022 Share Posted May 26, 2022 1 hour ago, Zatman said: Yeah this is what I signed up for under Lange and Purslow. Why I am so downhearted with the project But we are buying some top young talent as well - especially at academy/youth level. Building for the future is great but if you keep doing that, the present gets neglected. You can do both. Buy for now and the immediate future and also for the long term future. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you remove PSG the average ranking of Ligue 1 drops to 59.04 but if you remove Inter from Serie A it drops them to 62.54, so the gap widens a bit more, yes. But a 3-point gap is already significant, which is reflected by the gap between the Premier League and La Liga. Regardless the size, @Philosopher's comment that Serie A is on the same level of Ligue 1 "at best" when it's clearly above remains off base.

JAMAICAN-VILLAN Posted May 26, 2022 Share Posted May 26, 2022 (edited) Can any of our finance gurus tell us how we are doing, and howuch more we might be able to spend? Kamara - FREE (Big wages ) Carlos - 26 mill apparently ( Surely big wages ) I read somewhere that, the sale of Jack probably really kicks in FFP wise this season, meaning we can spend quite a bit? So say is we cap our spending at 100 mill ( Bissouma and Bassey in for example ) Plus can pull in 30 - 40 mill, we still look good financially, going forward?

jacketspuds Posted May 26, 2022 Share Posted May 26, 2022 Hopefully it’s at least Carlos, Bissouma, a LB and a top striker. Another CB would be a bonus. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CVByrne Posted May 26, 2022 Share Posted May 26, 2022 Look at the level of the players we're bringing in. Coutinho, Digne, Kamara, Carlos. A cut above the players we have. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agree but at the same time it still feels a bit natural, we bought players to keep us up, we bought players to push us on a bit further, then we blipped but now we're back to buying players to have a proper crack at it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CVByrne Posted May 26, 2022 Share Posted May 26, 2022 I think the pulling power of Gerrard and how it can advance the club has been so underrated. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I completely agree with this. I love Deano but no way we were signing this calibre of player under him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just don’t think McGinn is suited to the football he wants to play, possession based, Watkins just ain’t a finisher if we had someone else up top Sunday we would have been out of sight 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not quite the deadly striker his reputation suggests. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
