Gusto. Or Saliba if dying to gamble on CHE clean.

Gusto

looks like the answer is obvious

thanks all

I'd bench Saliba.

Nay

I went dor jackson.. good fixtures think he can outscore watkins

What Big Mike said

CB.

C
B

keep
no

Yeah he's a good looking guy

not yet, should find out tomorrow during press conference

Looks good as is. Can downgrade Mo later IF Rash or Bruno give you reason.

Surely you WC to get rid of Salah & spend the funds quickly or what was the point?

Rash or Bruno this week and keep money ITB to go back to Salah for AVl, wol, WHU in the next 3?

No need to drop Salah imo. I've kept him on my WC.

If I happens this season will be the 1st one ever when team value really don't matter.

Interesting in a way as without being forced to use the "template" budget picks we may actually see more diversity between our squads than in the previous seasons.

No

I am thinking A this week if that helps then get a cheaper Liverpool mid next week.

"You can bet on it" - Ivan Toney.

They've had the 2nd most penos since joining the league

Palace have had two 0-0 and two 1-1 as Neale said.

Bith goals from Brentford were 88 mins and 96. Could be later this year 🙂

I dont see goals in this one, although Eze scored his only goal for Patrick, but i could be wrong there).

That was the day he probably lost his job.

No point asking this before gw3

a bunch*

I thought the same until I spent time analysing the squad and personally think hes did a brilliant job. He has a strong starting and second eleven, 2 strong players in each position, with only a handful of players on top of that which they will likely sell/loan out before the window closes. Bar Sterling every one of those players are 26 or younger. They could do with a goalkeeper and 2 Attacking Centre mids but apart from that they would be able to get through the next few windows without needing to sign players, and with market values going up every year the deals might not look too bad in a few years.

So many people missed the fact Boehly is not directly responsible for transfers anymore

There's definitely more of a strategy to this signings now than the first spending window (most of which was poor, bigger names, not data backed & in the middle of lots of internal transition).

Buying lots and lots of young talent. Some will fail but there will be one or two Brazilian wonder kids or so who will either sell for bucket loads or be integrated.

Our current XI and squad has far more sensible of a shape (and size!) than lady seasons, which was a mess. Some of our signings have weekend rivals too (see Liverpool...)

We have again got very unfortunate with injuries sustained at the start of this season. Yes we do lack senior leaders - but hopefully this season can out us in good stead for the future.

Have to start returning on the investment soon but more (substantially backed) method than madness. Even the method such as long contracts to get over the PL/UEFA loophole Whislst we're out of Europe was a clever accounting/legal contract move.

Well what stinks is the PIF can invest upto 5% of Clearlake assests as i understand.

PIF own Newcastle.

PIF have access to Chelsea accounts, thus can buy lots of Chelsea players (Lewis Hall, (as Clearlake own 60% of Chelsea) as it is in their interest for Chelsea to comply with FFP.

If this isnt a confict of interest to the premier league I dont know what is.

All clubs do this. Harris at Palace own 17% of Palace shares, and owns Appollo (an investment fund), but has no interest in other Premier league clubs and was going to be force to sell his share, when he wanted to take over Chelsea in a competitive bid.

Textor and another owns 40% of Shares, and Eagle Holdings owns Lyon, Moolenbeak, and Bazilian club Botafogo de Futebol e Regatas. In separate leagues just like Chelsea loan players to Strasbourg. That all fine (I dont personally like it), but thats how football is these days.

I don't like it in the PL, and this is certainly Saudi Arabia's plan, that if/when a Super League starts, they will be part of it.

Some good strategic insight out there, my post was meant as a jest..it would be silly if it were true

I'd wait for news. Maddison still could be ok

Wait for press conference to see if he's definitely out

City defender

Chilwell

I think so, they are both playing at a similar level and I don't think Ange knows which one is better in his system yet. Go for Udogie if you want a spurs fullback

*Colwill in defence, not Gabriel

Why would you mess with this squad?
For a hit? No way.

May want to look at selling one of the Gabriel's though.

Henry and Pedro

AC

yeah, looks nice

Why captain Foden when Pep might easily bench him?

Looks good

Foden can wait. Good move, imo.

Unless you have another FT...

with all sincerity i wouldn’t sell watkins for unproven jackson but what’s done is done Bruno can haul and Foden blank hope it helps

Today the US hedge fund sorts who were due to buy 25% of Morsi's stake pulled out. They were due to fund the completion of the new stadium as well as inject capital to keep the club afloat. Aye, they're in a crisis.

can never know with Pep may be akanji is more nailed

Well at least he's versatile and can play across the back four. Really good with both of his feet too...

Pedro

Eze

Probably Eze, but keep him

Yes one of Mbeumo and Pedro

Correct

Udogie

right

Yep, which is why those experts charge us money to see what they're doing

Dias plays LCB

I'd keep Martinelli this week

No Bees?

why are you selling Maddison.

If fit and Son moveas the no 9 he could be gold

A as Saliba against Utd could be as good as it gets at the moment!
