Wasyls Pec Deck Posted 29 August 2022 Share Posted 29 August 2022 We’re also going to end up paying a premium for players now. Teams know we’re desperate for recruits. How much of the money we’ve made on Fofana will be creamed off because of other clubs playing the situation? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Funny how they’ve just decided to keep Chalobah as well, considering he was touted as definitely off not long ago. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
justfoxes Posted 29 August 2022 Share Posted 29 August 2022 Fofana to USA for a medical wasting even more time for us to be paid and bring in New players Fuching Chelsea scum ! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They can see how short they are as silva cannot play each mid week they like to play 3 atb - i couldn’t understand how they thought t was a good idea to let him go. Having Reece James as a CB rather than wing back is nuts 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Several weeks ago we were not bottom of the PL with a manager hanging on by his silver tongue. We are very unattractive at the moment and we can't even use money to bribe players.

Socialism in sport, everyone gets their chance to become the best team (in a mediocre league) Why? Please explain. I see no reason in principle why you couldn't have a salary cap. It doesn't need to be tied to a draft or a no relegation system. I don't think it would be agreed to here because it would have to be set below the level the top few clubs spend, but that's a separate issue.

Plenty of teams that are trying to get rid of players they want to free up their wage bill. Also let's be honest buying late could actually pay in our favour well if we buy that is 🤣 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But, but it's so far away, and with the time difference presumably it won't get done until next week! By which time, we'll have been relegated!

I guess the FFP rules introduce a cap of sorts...it's just tied to each club's own turnover so will prevent clubs like us competing. They don't want a more level playing field. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’m all for a salary cap however it would have to be Europe/world wide and would have to be brought in gradually, for example to cover players careers signing their first pro from say next season. This will negate current players having to take massive pay cuts and will allow the cap to be set at a reasonable that will be more competitive. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
