Have you ever been in a management position or run a business? If someone hasn’t performed over a period of time you manage them out don’t you. Football is a business and it’s cut throat, there’s no time for sentiment. The ones who aren’t good enough should get thanks for their efforts and be...
Fair point hadn’t thought of them. It’s possible. I just have a feeling there will be immense pressure there for household name signings. I think their fans would be underwhelmed with JPVH despite how good he is
No way anyone will touch Mitoma or Enciso this summer after serious injuries. Pedro had a poor run in. JPVH would be my only worry but can’t see what big team he fits into where he’s better than what they’ve got for the money he’d cost. I’m not worried
I follow a lot of academy football and him coming through the ranks at arsenal and since moving to Chelsea hes as highly thought of as Foden, Sancho, Palmer etc were at his age. So much potential
We’ve won 1 of our last 9 league games. 5 of those 9 were losses. And the 3 draws were against Everton, Burnley and Brentford. Top 6 was done ages ago. We’ve been shocking.
Lists also include loans, mutual agreements to terminate contracts to aid leaving on a free transfer. Any departure that means the mentioned players are not part of the 2024/25 first team squad in August. Also worth mentioning dead wood for a mid table Premier League can be world beaters at...
Good post, I am particularly enjoying rereading the post as you remember how many players we have and adding them to your list. Players I too had also forgot we had. For example, Alzate.
For me outgoing would be:
-Undav (buy option circa £10m)
-Dahoud (buy option circa £10m)
-Fati back to Barca
-Milner retire
-Lallana retire
-Veltman
-Lamptey
-Moder
-Steele
-Webster
-Sarmiento? Wouldn’t mind either way.
-Peupion
-Ofiah
-Moran
-Leonard
-there are probably a few other...
Understand the point but I think football has changed now. Many more players break into senior football at early ages and therefore are ‘experienced’ well before their 30’s.
To explain my point. Tonight was Phil Foden’s 264th senior game for City and he is only 23. He’s not a kid he’s an...
