Looks like another summer of being annoyed at losing another great player
Sigh
We pay around 50% of our turnover on player salaries, not dissimilar to Arsenal and the Man clubs. Only Chelsea and Liverpool pay much higher percentages (both high 60s). We can’t break that model as we don’t have a multi billionaire. Liverpool will be fucked.
It does leave a hole imo 1 senior CB with two up and coming.The difference is that we expect it to happen and it won't leave a gaping hole in our squad unlike previous seasons/
I like Matt Law but he's having a bit of a chuckle with that article. Reads like an agent just emailed him a list of teams trying to hype up his player ahead of an almost certain relegation he doesn't want to be apart of. Even if Evans is on a list of targets I would wager he's on our if we don't get anyone else then we'll go for him because he'll do a job, not be too big a dropoff, and not pitch a fit everytime he's not selected... so in that case Welcome Jonny!?It does leave a hole imo 1 senior CB with two up and coming.
Maybe that’s why the rumours of Johnny Evans have started
While I'm in the more positive spin group. I don't agree on the age point. Vertonghen has gone up a level since hitting 30.
I will say it again, Poch says he has amazing genes. Can play into his mid 30’s easily.
I could see this working as a swap deal, madrid have a few players that supposedly getting shipped out and just happen to be our ex players. And psg have rabiot who we chased for a while and would be a perfect fit next to dembele.Serious (very) from Spanish giants and PSG I believe
Yet we haven't been beaten in the league since December and only juventus have beaten us since. Which shows we certainly can cope without him. It's a loss for certain and I'd much rather he stayed. But I'm not as worried as I was when we lost the likes of Modric and Bale.
Secondly, I don't think Toby had been close to his best last year. He had made quite a few errors which he didn't at all in his first season.
Don't even think we need to buy another CB, Dier can step up IMO, if anything we need another CM.
Sure would have been nice to go three in the back against Juve when we we're up in the second half..
