>>142929761Arteta runs the biggest club in the world that gets way more media pressure than anyone else. Their owners also have been stifling growth and spending unwisely (70m for Pepe, e.g.). He has the tougher job I tell u wut.

Is sancho going to PSG or is it Man Utd cope?
>>142929962that's a good idea. but will never happen obviously because they'd lose money not having the big clubs playing.

"When you are so close you want to grab it.>"Perfection in this league requires different standards when you relate that word to winning the Premier League and that is what we have to do.>"There is still a lot of time left in the window and while that is more a question for the board, obviously we know there are certain positions that we want to improve and give the squad better resources in terms of numbers but the main thing is to focus on falling in love with the players we have."
>>142929809>spending unwisely (70m for Pepe 2019 it's time for United fans (only they even still talk about this deal) to move on
>>142930511The way he's running AEW is hilarious. He openly aims for 5 star matches (which for those who don't know, is literally just the scoring out of 5 for any given match by one single specific wrestling writer) far more than he is aiming for ratings. It would be like if if Todd started aiming for decent post-match player ratings rather than even considering winning matches. Actually..

Isn't Onana (the one Villa bought) a pretty damn good DM / CM? I knew a few top clubs were looking at him being their starting 6 or destroyer midfielder. Great signing for Villa tbhonest
>>142930648Worth just sticking to the PPVs and even then just the big ones like WrestleMania and SummerSlam (takes place next Saturday) >>142930672Yeah a lot of teams wanted him, Villa must've offered Everton very good terms
>>142930632Yeah that is pretty horrific. Can't see how you can really fix it, even the sponsor logo is terrible as is the manufacturer one. Removing the turquoise maybe
>>142930677It wasn't really a match or nothing it was just like one of those top 10 videos. Was surprised to find out Ric Flair is only 75 now. I thought he was 75 in the '90s.
>>142930672Hes a solid midfielder and hard carried Evertons midfield a lot especially in attack. Hes a good addition for Villa. >>142930677Everton signed Iroegbunam for 10mil so really Villa got him for 40mil
>>142930630Liversissies...
>>142930672Yeah it’s a great signing for the money, surprised Everton let him go for less than £65m tbqh
>>142930698If you really want to feel depressed, watch his final match. He fakes a heart attack during it, except it wasn't a fake and he literally was having a heart attack
>>142930736They got Iroegbunam for 10mil which I think was part of the wider deal and helps Villa meet FFP
>>142930677>>142930708>>142930736Do you guys think a lot of teams "better" than Villa in the PL offered Everton good money for Onana and Villa accepted all those offers, but Onana decided to go to Villa instead of a team like United / Arse / Chelsea because he'd get more playing time under Unai?Maybe I'm not really aware of the financial details here, I'm assuming that Villa wouldn't be able to offer really good terms compared to other teams but I forgot if Villa are richfags or not
>>142930744That could be legitimate in fairness cause all sorts of literal who kids go for that money nowadays. Brighton spent almost £20m on some Ghanaian kid from the danish league with fuck all g/a thereBut it’s probably not given how dodgy Villa are atm. £40-45m for Onana then is an absolute steal, surprised more teams weren’t in for him at that price
>>142930839Villa have been paying insane wages in recent years, which is why they are where they are. They’re Chinese Newcastle. I just wrote out that I’m surprised more teams weren’t in for him but I’ve realised they probably offered him 200k a week or somethingHowever playing time you’re not gonna get at Chelsea with a million people already there, arse who already have rice etc. And to not avoid the elephant in the room but Villa are in the CL

haven't been paying attention, has Arse done any transfers this summer? Anything important going on with Arse?Is we getting rid of Zenchinko? Partey gone?
>>142930841Id agree normally but yes given its Everton and Villa im inclined to believe its dodgy. I believe the Athletic did an article on this saying that Villa also have done this with the Maatsen deal as Chelsea signed some who tier Villa kid for 22mil and with Juve with Barrenechea going to Villa for peanuts and Juve getting Luiz.
>>142930839>>142930904To add to that Villa are the only team backing City on these FFP charges. They’re insanely rich and haven’t even started yet. Hence why they want to dial down all these financial limits as it won’t be long before they start enquiring about big name players
>>142930904>Chinese NewcastleYou're about a decade late with that, Dr. Tony hasn't owned Villa for a long time. Their money is "good" Arab money.
>>142930904For some reason I just completely ignored / was not aware that Villa are richfags who pay their players big wages. I think it makes complete sense why Onana didn't go to Arsenal (some fans have been wanting him for a couple seasons now). Are any Villa players (who did quite well last season to put them in the CL) leaving this summer?
>>142930940>To add to that Villa are the only team backing City on these FFP charges. They’re insanely rich and haven’t even started yet. Hence why they want to dial down all these financial limits as it won’t be long before they start enquiring about big name playersLol, so all 18 other teams in the league were backing the prosectors / plaintiffs, while Villa were the only team backing the defendants here (City)?
>>142930940>Villa are the only team backing City on these FFP chargesNot quite >Three Premier League teams voted against the proposal [...] Man City, Manchester United and Aston Villa. Chelsea are reported to have abstained. 14 clubs out of the 20 need to agree for it to be passed.
>>142930945Hmm bought them in ‘18. Just assumed they still was cause all the other Birmingham clubs are Chinese owned. Unless I’m outdated on that too. Thought it was some Chinese international state capitalism thing that they do. Word for the term escapes me at the moment>>142930963Only thing I know about Villa is that >we(st ham) are on the verge of signing their backup striker, Jhon Duran, for £30m+. After that I think they’re done with sales unless they got more overinflated youth players to sale. But no more main players I would assume
>>142930839Sometimes clubs are just busy with their priority target and haven’t got around to the guy who would have been player number 3 for the window. I’m sure Barca (Williams), Arsenal (Calafiori) and Man United (Zirkzee/Yoro/failed Branthwaite) would have tried if they didn’t have other priorities.
>>142931016Yeah this is exactly how I go about things for my EA FC 24 Luton Town FC career mode save.
>>142931010Might sell Digne or Carlos since they are 30+, have 2 years left on contract and there’s been some Saudi interest. The team that are buying Diaby have Kante, Benzema and Laurent Blanc is the manager so we might be able to shift Digne there.

>>142931035Is Diaby actually going then? Thought it was just bs rumours. On the topic of Kante my beloved Pest Pam made a bid of £15m for him the other day. Was only £5-10m short of what they want for him and apparently he’s willing to take a massive 50%+ wage cut >>142931049Already lost 1/4 of their best negroes, probably their best Infact. Reckon if they lose another of Eze, Guehi or Mateta it’s back to the fight for 11th with Fulham and Wolves. They was playing great at the end of the season I must admit however

>>142931104Looking like there’s a deal agreed but we are waiting on a replacement. Good profit for 1 year. Hoping we go for Baena or Gonçalves. Williams likely out of reach. Felix too expensive. I trust Emery and Monchi so no stress. Duran is going to be a brilliant player, we just can’t offer him enough minutes. Would keep him if he wasn’t kicking off.

>Danny drinkwater now working as a builderGrim.Gamble his money away?

>>142931238he basically retired when leicester won the league
>>142931109He’s good but Bailey is better. 60m is too much to turn down for someone who plays 2k league minutes when healthy.
>>142931248yeah but if you were an ex-pro at 34 wouldn't you go join some minnows for a laugh to batter some pub lad club in the league and try do 30 yard blooters against Fat Dave in goal?
>>142931238he sadly isn't black so he can't get pundit work and maybe doesn't wanna do the UEFA badge courses which is like 10 years for UEFA Pro.
>>142931210Has anyone else been seriously in for Duran? Heard he wants West Ham but that’s from West Ham sources so I’m skeptical
>>142931256I always think you would come up against Bazza and he would try and break your legs because you scored against his club once. Or he just thought you were a cunt.
>>142931218Getting in at the right time with Labour housing targets and blowing the fuck out of NIMBYs there'll be a shit ton of demand for good brickies

>>142930001De zerbi is gone and they’ve sold all their best players. Their transfer strategy is one that blows hot and cold and you can never be sure you’re picking up good players when you do it their way. I think they’re fucked. Evan Ferguson is the most overrated ‘wonderkid’ I’ve ever seen
>>142931315Only claim to fame I have is knowing a lad who turned pro when he was a kid. I'm old.
>>142931355>sign black lads regardless of whether they're fit or notT B O E H L ZAlso the state of his new Wikipedia photo.
>>142931357I guess time will tell but they weren't awful last season considering the extra games and the amount of injuries.I reckon they'll have a good season.Hope Evan unlocks but apparently there's another young Irish striker in their youth ranks who's even better.
>>142931357Oh, we're pretending that De Zerbi is a good manager now?
>>142931300>btfoing nimbysImagine looking at the countryside and thinking “wouldn’t this be better bulldozed, covered in concrete and filled with pakis and Africans”
>>142931375
>>142931357They obviously won’t get top 4 like anon is claiming but De Zerbi was a bit mid in fairness. They’re transfer strategy is one to admire given how far it’s got them, even if it’s a tad overrated (they spend a lot on duds combined that no one talks about). However I think they sold too many good players too soon with Trossard, MacAllister and Caicedo all leaving when they did Saying that Verbuggen was a great cop and if they grab the right £20m+ players this summer I can see a top 6 push in their future

He did have an offer from somewhere in the MLS later on, but I think he turned that down because his fortnight gf didn't want to move there either.Absolute mong brain.

>Marseille have signed Denmark midfielder Pierre-Emile Hojbjerg from Tottenham on an initial loan deal for the 2024-25 season.>The transfer includes what Spurs say is an "obligation that would see the move become permanent" for a fee believed to be about £17m.
>>142929539>Villa are looking scaryGoing into the champions league for the first time ever (yes.) and just lost their best player to Juventus. Lets see what happens with Diaby, if he goes Saudi then the squad has gone backwards I think. Onana is a top player and looked international level at the euros, there is no doubt. But I ve never been sold on him as one of the premier league's best midfielders. That Everton CMF with Doucoure and Gueye was top level physicality, he never stood out too much for me. Mcginn and Tielemans are getting worse for me.
>>142931766>McginnThis guy was fucking heinously bad in Euros What is up with Tielemans? Thought he was suppsoed to be a starting 8 at a big team
>>142931218>Danny drinkwater now working as a builder'Working as a builder' is extremely unlikely. He either owns the construction company or owns the properties he is renovating. Most likely the latter.Drinkwater spent most of his money on Dubai and shit but he's most likely brought enough property and assets in England as a back up. The Chelsea players are quite known for buying businesses.
>>142931804McGinns game is a very high energy level pressing combatative midfielder, with very good technical ability. When on form he's very involved in the games. He's getting older (30 soon) but I think his body is feeling the effects of Emery system - Mcginn played wide a lot this season , meaning a huge amount of running. Used to be very consistent but the amount of games must be catching up to him.Tielemans well football only going one way in terms of pace, pressing, physicality and he's never been the best athlete. Regularly has spells where he looks too slow and soft for elite level football. His talent is all about positioning and line breaking passes. He had these bad spells at Leicester too. Will inevitably continue to be a player with periods of up/down form.

>>142931857Who is Onana supposed to be replacing in the system? McGinn ? Diaby is an attacking mid so Onana isn't coming in for Diaby
>>142931446i think I actually played againsst Oscar bobb when I was younger. He was playing with a team a couple years above his own age and everyone was talking about him before the match. I played RB and he raped me so hard on that wing all game. I heemed him a couple times though. But I'm not sure, it's just that I know his name was "Bobb", was a mulatto and the ages seem to match up.
>>142931886yeah but if you got to the final, you should really, you know, go for it. if every single england player played like they did in the league in that one game.

Who got CL spots this year in the PL? I forgot. City, Arse, Villa, Liverpool and?
>>142931891Onana will be a direct replacement for Douglas Luiz. Onana will play 6 and be in charge of dominating midfield. They are upgrading the teams physicality (marginally, Luiz a great tackler) and strength but big decline in midfield passing. Villa signed Maatsen from Chelsea and are trying to sell Digne. They might even sign another full back. I think Emery is going back to attacking full backs/wing backs over midfield creativity like Leverkusen.
>>142931766Luiz is a quality player but he had a poor second half to the season. His stats were massively inflated by 6 penalties and taking every setpiece. Disagree about Tielemans but McGinn is aging. Diaby is only being sold if a replacement can come in according to Villa reporters. Maatsen should be great. Rogers has turned out better than anyone thought he would. The starting 11 strength looks similar but the depth has gone from players like Chambers and Iroegbunam to Barkley, Philogene and Barrenechea. Ramsey, Buendia and Mings returning from injury.
>>142931904who?
Villa could realistically win the league. Not even memeing.
>>142931918Bit gay that
>>142931936Germany and Italy got 5 CL spots i think. I feel like Spain should have got it with their CL/Europa dominance
>>142931938>Onana will be a direct replacement for Douglas LuizMan holy shit I am so behind on transfer talk, Douglas Luiz to Juventus is confirmed?
>>142931955I've torn my arse a few times and had a lot of blood from hard shits. I don't use it often. Justs help it slide out.
>>142931957Oh did they. Right, then nvm.
I'm just saying world ain't ready for Kobbie Mainoo's 1st full season.>>142931946Not Mudryk's gf apparently
>>142931938>Villa signed Maatsen from Chelsea and are trying to sell DigneHoly fucking shit when did this happen i am absolutely weeks behind in terms of transfer news. I didn't realize that Maatsen got bought off Chelsea (was at BVB). Maatsen indeed is an extreely attacking fullback. Damn damn villa are getting quite good playesr
>>142931935my grandad took me to one of their games many years ago when we were visiting multiple cities in England so it just stuck somewhat. I also like that since they're in the lowest league and England has the most divisions I can play a somewhat realistic career-mode with them over multiple seasons. You have barely any money and since the AI is so unforgiving it actually makes it a challenge to keep the job and consistently improve the squad, especially with the coach-system on FC 24 where your rating actually matters. Whenever I play in any other league/team higher up you just get such a good team so quickly and have more money than you can even fathom of spending the fun is nonexistent imo
>>142931218Wish I had the time and money to dedicate some time to learn a trade my grandfather was proficienct at under different economic circumstances. Sadly, I (and most working/middle class people) have to toil away at some job that requires me to sit in front of a computer for 8/9 hours a day.Mad how so many people in working/middle class look down on millionaires learning useful trades. Weird behaviour.
>>142931891Probably sharing time with Kamara, Barkley and Tielemans. Will be a lot of rotation, game by game tactical choices. 48 matches minimum next season.
>>142931978It was part of the dodgy dealings prior to June 30th where teams needing to have some profit on their balance books bought players from each other. Chelsea bought a player who had played 72 mins of PL football in his career for £20m.
>>142931945I think Ramsey talent and potential level is so high. I'm not sure if he will hit the heights he is capable off, but for me he has young Dele Alli style potential. Forgot about Buendia huge player there is Emery can get him into his way of playing.
>>142931996Ramsey and Rogers will be so good in Emery’s system. He is back in training as of yesterday. Rogers has 3 goals and 1 assist from 90 minutes in preseason so he’s on pace for the ballon dor.
>>142931967Most efficient way of loosening your arse for constipation?
>>142931989British culture and mentality is to look down on tradies, construction workers, plumbers, gardeners when they are often fit guys on higher salaries than normal population.A normal construction worker will e.g. usually be making more money than a normal teacher or civil servant. I don't know it's like they think they are dumb and unlucky to be doing a physical job.
>>142932038well constipation is different than just having hard/jagged shits, like I can go to the bathroom, just don't want the pain. so if it's difficult I put a little bit on my bum and it helps it slide out.
>>142932038literally coffee (or tea) and cigarettes. Nothing works better.
>>142931967you got roids bro go docs get that shit out of you or like me go private have a guy put something in you and then take it out x3 times and then have to go again to get a curry to arse fuck you in 10mins all for the cost of 2 grand was worth it no roids no blood no sitting in a bath in the dark cause after a shit your arse would leak out blood
>>142932091yes I did, i don't now, but seeing as this works and it doesn't require me taking stool softeners it's just an easy solution.
>>142932132or lad just eat some salad
>>142932059>I don't know it's like they think they are dumb and unlucky to be doing a physical job.That's exactly it. Plumbing, electrical and construction are more or less safe from AI too for the next 50 years or so. Meanwhile you see so many layoffs for devs and graphic designers, for example. Stupid to dunk on tradies just because they don't have to do tough maths.
>>142932211as i said, it's extremely rare and caused by medication, regardless of what i eat and it's not like lube gets out of date.
prem isn't ready for bowen, kudus and paqueta unleashed from dour david's grasp.
>>142925497>goofy teenage centre backBit of a understatement no? From what i recall some goofy teenagers scored against City in the FA cup final.Better a teenager with potential than a washed up mong like Van Dijk or some meme signing like EndoStill cant believe Klopp gutted the entire team and replaced them with a bunch of literal whos who will never win anything except an energy drink cup ever again.Scousers ofcourse will ignore this to keep worshipping mongs like they always do, including Nunez still.
>>142932331Mental how Paqueta has had the worst gambling charges in worldwide football league history thrown at him but he plays for a London club so it's just swept under the rug
>>142926382You are a complete and utter moron, and don't understand anything about football.

>>142932410its not being swept under the rug though he's been charged but it's taking ages cause its a complex case with multiple incidentsits well publicised, talked about all the time and front and center on his Wikipedia pagein no way, from actively watches football to absolute layman googling his name, is it being swept under the rug
>>142931963Yes, along with his gf Lehmann for ~£50M. Illing Jr and Barrenchea to Villa.
>>142932465>Rapists, gamblers, animal abusersWhy do West Ham have a culture of embracing this?
>>142933111>he lives with a 4channer, and not only that a /v/tardgrim grim grim GRIM
>>142933156kek its the same way in america, like actual africans versus african americansalthough i dont care much for the somalis they're a shifty bunch. but the rest of the from africa africans are very polite usually
>>142933439It's weird isn't it? I'm with you though on those Somalians, fuck that. There's a maisonette kinda thing next to where I work and there's about a dozen of them live in it with these three white chicks. I've only ever seen three of them anyway. Never trust them though. Even when they're getting out of the car to go inside they look like they're up to something.

>>142933594If Villa actually let him go this season, it's because they know his foot is permanently fucked.
>>142934904Man i miss the gigabrained brenny tictacs era liverpool where he'd play the players out of position, playing jonjo shelvey as a striker against west ham, sticking downing at wing back or telling lallana to play as a false nine at the bernabeu, many meme games happened because of him sniffing his own farts.
>>142935309Damn Brenny really pulled this kind of formation against Madrid
>>142934904Didn't look at the date and for a second I thought Andy Carroll was back at Anfield. Then I realised that his Uruguayan regen was and had a sensible chuckle.>imagine buying Andy Carroll TWICE
>>142935340Funniest thing is that this team played much better than the earlier fixture where they lost 3-0 at anfield, they only lost 1-0 at the bernabeu and kolo toure was having the game of his life
>>142935309he got good results doing that for a while before the team collapsed again
>>142935309I do think Shelvey as a 10 might have worked desu

>>142931365a guy i went to school with and still see from time to time was Millwalls youth prospect goalkeeper but he quit football because he decided he didn't like playing in goal and they didn't want him as an outfielder. some of my friends play 5 a side with him and he refuses to play in goal for them there. sometimes at the pub they will have a go at him when they talk about the games because the few times he's been convinced to play in goal he's so good he hasn't conceded yet, and when he's not in goal they often lose like 3-0 lmao
>>142936157he never had the mental strength to make it and he knew it, deep down. Sad but probably for the best. Look at what happened to Enke
>Getafe will net 20 per cent of the money from Greenwood’s sale to Marseille.lul
>>142936191not sure about that. one of the most competitive guys i've ever met. if he wants to do something he does it. seen him do it with other sports, but you hear him talk about playing football and being in goal and theres contempt there. just think he really fucking hates playing in goal

>>142936288>ynr Mou wanted Maguire the previous summer and he was available for 60mil. Woodward said no and then signed him the following summer for 80mil.
>>142936343Same as the Sancho fiasco United openly wanted him for years on end, literally no-one else was interested in him, and the price just crept up and up
>>142936522at least they didn't do the same with someone like Marouane Fellainioh wait lmao

>>142937932https://josimarfootball.com/2024/07/22/the-hydra/Interesting article on the subject of these "gambling companies". As it is behind a paywall, here are a few key quotes:>the trademarks of many of these brands were owned by a single entity, Philippines-based BOE United Technology Corporation>researchers found out that the name server domains used by kb.com had been registered in China under the name Yabo in 2020...For four years, from 2018 to 2021, no other Asian-facing sports betting operator was more active or visible than Yabo, who built up the most prestigious portfolio of partnerships ever assembled in world football. Manchester United, Bayern Munich, Paris Saint-Germain, AS Monaco, Milan, the Argentinian FA, Serie A and others all signed on the dotted line, with Yabo represented by their “CEO”, one Dean Hawkes, whom Josimar discovered was a British male model and entrepreneur who had relocated to mainland China>Then Yabo disappeared. Overnight, the clubs, leagues and federations they’d done deals with ceased to promote the brand...A two-year police investigation had led to the identification of 80,000 agents employed by the criminal betting syndicate. Over 3,000 people were arrested, and Yabo ceased to function>Yabo and Kaiyun are just iterations of the same entity, and proof of it can be found by analysing DNS data>Infoblox identified 'at least 170,000 websites' linked to the Yabo/Viper network as of February 2024>The amounts of money generated by the illegal gambling industry...estimated to be worth 1.7 trillion US dollars in its December 2021 report, that is three times as much as the global narcotics trade, give an idea of how much money circulates through the Yabo “baowang”...The Chinese authorities mentioned a figure of 15.7 billion dollars for the Yabo brand when they conducted their operation. Not turnover. 15.7 billion profit.

Chelsea supporter - loads of nice names coming in but we seriously need to start selling. We have already used two of six slots for loans while we still have Broja, Chalobah, Washington etc in the squad alongside Datro Fofana, who is not favoured. Hoping to still make over 100m euros (£84.2m) with sales from Lukaku, Chalobah, Datro Fofana, Ugochukwu and more.
>>142938472Lukaku will be forever loaned out til his contract expires
Finally managed to have a shit after 3 days of constipation. It was rock hard. Legs feel weak and my ass hurts but feel very good.Any good transfer rumours today?
Pay 180m for Mbappe and give him a 1m per week contract before losing him for free, then buy Kolo Muani for 90m and Goncalo Ramos for 65m before deciding you want to sell them a year later, and now they want Osimhen for 120m+.Is there any stopping the PSG madmen?
>>142938846All these spendings made people forget that at some point they were also having a bit of trouble with FFP after buying Mbrap (and Neyney), but that period was legit insignificant I doubt PSG fans still remember that.https://www.google.com/amp/s/amp.theguardian.com/football/2018/jun/13/psg-uefa-ffp-raise-funds-rules

>>142938846They're linked to loads of other players. Can easily see them spending £200m+. Nothing happens. Don't think Ligue Un has FFP shit outside of UEFA and UEFA is toothless.

>>142939178>arsenal's medical team messed them up by rushing them to fitness or somethingSeems like they only learned to stop doing that after Timber fucking died on day 1. They also sold their head doctor? to United which started United's worst injury crisis in who knows how long.

>>142939352>the injuries at United started before he joined.My bad, I thought it coincided with the guy joining them. And yeah, other than their perma crocks and Saliba, I don't think they had any other big injury worth remembering that season. But it is still funny to imply that the doctor switched clubs and made a noticeable difference.
>>142939399Oh yeah it’s hilarious, even funnier I still don’t think Arsenal have replaced him. Meanwhile O’Dirscolls sacked 2 utd doctors for essentially doing stupidly outdated stuff.
>still no strong LB link for Man United

>>142939596Weren’t they linked with Chilwell? I’m also dubious as to why they need one as they already have Shaw and Malacia. Yeah they’re both injury prone but 3 left backs is overkill unless one (probably Malacia) leaves.
>>142939596they'll get reguilon on loan again
>>142939628corrthis genuine value for money
>>142939680They def need 3 this season because1. Shaw is Shaw2. Malacia isn't even fit yet and even when he's finally fit, we have to remember he's been out for a year due to injuries. Expecting him to immediately step up when Shaw gets kwabbed again is a daunting task.
>>142939706Spurs left him out of the preseason squad so he’s definitely available. >>142939710Malacia is disappointing because he looked alright prior to getting snapped. I wonder if he will ever get fit again some players just end up perma injured.
>>142939680I don't think it's priority right now. Besides them United have Sam Murray and Harry Amass who are highly rated in the academy. They might be an option too.
>>142939596Noussair Mazraoui, lad.
>>142939725I suspect they’ll go the academy route, they need a midfielder a lot more than they need another LB. Amass was a solid poach from Watford so maybe he will get minutes.

>>142940353INEOS have actually done what they said they'd do. Rebuilt the internal structure and installed a crack team of negotiators. A club the size of Man United has about 100M to spend every summer as a baseline. Factors such as shirt sales, ticket sales, TV deals, and sponsorships will increase this number. Then you can get creative with this money. If you make a deal for 80M but pay it over 4 seasons, you're only really paying 20M as far as FFP is concerned. Tldr>big club is being run properly

You now remember United finished 4th in a CL group with FCCopenhagen and Galatasaray, AND finished 8th in the league with a negative goal difference

>>142943696Yes.

>>142944291Fuck I had been memeing they had +2GD to mock them I didn't know it was that bad.
>>142944286I truly don't get it, why do they get to ignore ffp because of selling some fucking hotels or whatever
>>142944302Well this year, Chelsea have spent about £75m this window and have received £85m. So they're up £10m. I don't know if the likes of Estêvão count this window or next because he won't arrive until next year.In>Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall>£30m (rounded up)>Omari Kellyman>£19m (rounded up)>Renato Veiga>£12m (rounded up)>Caleb Wiley>£8.50m (rounded up)>Marc Guiu>£5m (rounded down)>Tosin Adarabioyo>FreeTotal: £74.5m (roughly)Out>Ian Maatsen>£37.50m (rounded up)>Lewis Hall>£27.75m>Omari Hutchinson>£19.75m (rounded down)>Thiago Silva>Free>Hakim Ziyech>Free£85m (roughly)I had to convert from €. So yeah assuming Estêvão doesn't count yet because he won't arrive yet, they've 'made money'. Plus that £75m is going to be stretched over 5 years. So they're never going to be in trouble.

Reports last week that the Diaby deal would close when Villa had their replacement. Final guesses as to who it is?
City have an academy player called Simpson-pussy lol
>>142943479>>142943491>>142943585>>142944448I disagree with some of these posts. I thought Diaby was very good for Villa this season. He scored 10 goals in his first season and was benched a lot. He always looked lively in games. His form looked worse because Watkins was maybe the best overall striker in the league and Bailey was on fire at times. Villa got great money for him so they don't care. But I think Diaby was definetley worth keeping in the squad. Will be a long season with CL, most of Villas attackers play centrally

Slotto bros... I have full faith in Michael Edwards and the boys (and the squad), and I will be patient because they generally know what's best, but kind of nervous about the transfer dealings or lack thereof... definitely need another CB, another midfielder (preferably of the defensive midfield type), probably another winger (either side), a 2nd choice keeper cause Kweeveen is gonna go
