Appears to be available, played most of this season as a center forward but can play off the left as well. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chelsea had to spend a 100 mil to get that Ukrainian fella after Shakthar kept pointing Arsenal to how much Anthony went for. Probs going to cost 80 mil plus at least Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The last 2 will probably be too expensive for us now and they've caught the eye of CL clubs but there's the niche we'll be targeting. We've already been linked with Moukoko of Dortmund as well. These are well known names. I dont watch a ton of European football and you obviously watch even less. Ashworth and the scouting team will know of talents that we haven't heard much of. The point was, there's a gap to be filled if Wood leaves. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

strawb 3659 Posted January 19, 2023 Share Posted January 19, 2023 Deloitte has published its football money list and has us at 95% wages to turnover. I suspect that’s the reason we are being careful in the market, rather than we don’t have/want any new targets Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ayatollah Hermione 12767 Posted January 19, 2023 Share Posted January 19, 2023 Wouldn’t surprise me if Howe thinks Joelinton is a better emergency option as third striker than Wood tbh. That Wednesday miss seems like it was the nail in the coffin. Howe simply does not fuck about And then that frees up a slot for a central midfielder, even if it’s just on loan 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hasn't Hayden just returned as well? Shortstaff? Plus Shelvey is sucking up wages and hoping to trigger an automatic extension. Why the fuck is Gillespie on the books still as well? A smart thing to do would be to ship them all off to whatever Saudi league team they own and let them suck back their wages from their books. The shit Ashley left stinking out the place. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They must surely realise that they have a huge opportunity this season to speed up the growth of the club. They just need to ensure we finish as high as possible, combined with some smart January buys and to ways to clean up/out the shite left by Ashley. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wykikitoon 16637 Posted January 19, 2023 Share Posted January 19, 2023 As said, it needs signing off by the EPL so that will stop the ridiculous type deals City have. But will certainly have us on better footings. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think he already has triggered it, hasn't he. Also, I think that the 95% figure is not so much an issue with wages, as I doubt most of Ashley's dross were on huge wages, but an indictment on the failure to improve revenue. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ewerk 26340 Posted January 19, 2023 Share Posted January 19, 2023 It’s also worth remembering that this 95% figure is for the 21/22 season. So we were only paying wages for the likes of Trippier, Bruno et al. for half that season. Since then we’ve signed Pope, Isak and Botman so chances are that our wages are currently above 100% of revenue. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
