sharkyvilla Posted January 12 Share Posted January 12 5 minutes ago, Vancvillan said: I honestly don't think he's anywhere near mid prem standard, especially with the lack of game time. For example, if he'd started against Boro I would have been nervous. Think a promotion chasing championship team might be a good next step if he can find one. Yeah I think even the relegation candidate teams would struggle to hide Chambers's lack of physical attributes these days. I guess Iroegbunam is the next most likely player we could sell to get profit on the books. Could we get £10m for him, then Unai could find a right back?

I did see a report, a while back, that we intended to do a buyback deal for Tim aswell and around that price too, apparently his injury scuppered that idea… Edited January 12 by Jas10 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jareth Posted January 12 Share Posted January 12 Yep it's going to be tough in Jan, though I reckon someone will take Chambers and maybe one or two others, lots of desperate teams willing to gamble. If we get anyone in it'll be at the end of the window. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

striker Posted January 12 Visiting Supporter Share Posted January 12 1 hour ago, useless said: We're not signing Phillips, he's not good enough to get in our team ahead of Kamara or Luiz, and he's not going to leave Man City bench, just to sit on the bench of another team, he will want to go somwhere where he gets a guarantee of first team football. Also we won't be signing a midfielder at all unless Dendoncker leaves, Emery said today no players coming in without one going out. And the sale of Chambers and Traore if they happen, won't lead to first team players for this season, so it's not like letting even one of them go will allow us to bring in a big name for the squad, Emery said their replacements if they happen won't be relevant yet, as I said, by which I think he means young project players. CC and BT were on the outer limits of the squad, so don't need replacing with players that are going to come straight into the team, or even be second choice, so younger options are the logical replacements for them, I guess similar profile to Duran as he was when we first signed him Well, there you have it. Emery has spoken. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
romavillan Posted January 12 VT Supporter Share Posted January 12 3 hours ago, Jas10 said: The problem is, we haven’t been clever in terms of the wages/contracts we’ve handed to players in the past and other clubs can’t afford to offer them anything comparable… I think that’s the main sticking point and problem… that’s why see or hear about so many loan offers too where we are still paying a portion… Some players are happy to sit on a decent wage that they can’t really get anywhere else and most of the clubs who’d be interested can’t offer them comparable or appealing wages to make that permanent move… I bet we didn't give Chambers the Digne wages? Bertie joined us when we were being more frugal. A team looking for promotion from the championship should be screaming out for a Bertie;) 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yep i agree. Always worried that City or Liverpool pull a trick out of their bag if we get too close to them consistently. Buy best players from teams up and coming.

Football was childish for too long not having any kind of salary cap Agree and disagree In theory FFP is pure protectionism, there is more chance that a mad cap billionaire buys Aston villa and buys mbappe then there ever is of us having higher revenue than man utd In reality man utd are **** atrociously ran so we are better than them, our £400m squad should not be competing with their £1bn+ squad but it is and then some Man city are the best of both, they have billions to chuck at the team and are brilliantly ran so no one can touch them, the rest of it is incompetence, we can be a better football team than man utd and Chelsea because they are incompetent, if they sort their shit out they'll go back to the top (look at Arsenal now) that's the only thing stopping it from being the closed shop that FFP should create As Leicester showed though we will still never catch them in terms of revenue and spending power, it's not sustainable due to the advantages they already have 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
