    Rumours that Mathys Tel is about to sign for the spuds. If true, he’s about to make a terrible career decision.

    Anyone else feeling lukewarm about us possibly getting Ollie Watkins? If this was a couple of years ago I’d be all for it. And he’s still a quality player. But for over 60 million when he’s 29 years old… it feels like we’d be over-paying. That’s assuming they even accept an increased bid anyway.

        If the Swiss Ramble numbers are accurate, they’re constantly taking out massive loans to cover the interest from previous loans as well as for transfers/wages. I’m okay with not bankrupting the club.

          Tin foil hat time, I think it’s the same thing that Chelsea did with the Saudi league bailing them out last summer. They’ve got backdoor connections and they’re not afraid to use them.

      They’re never going to lose again… It’s not good for development if neither us or City can challenge them. Who even will?

          Their depth really is insane, but it never seems like their players are unhappy with their game time. Depth really is an issue with our entire club, but it seems like we like to sign effing no one.
