Cavani was looking for around £350,000 a week when he left PSG.
Hopefully a wages cap will come in one day where your whole squad totals no more than a certain cumulative total.
Don't see why people who turn down the opportunity for a vaccination should still expect to get free NHS treatment in intensive care when they become very ill from COVID. Only those exempt should be those with health reasons where you can't have the jab. Reckon they should have a cut-off date to...
Spain is strange. COVID has had a big impact on the top clubs spending plus RM are rebuilding their stadium (have a look at those that haven't see what they are doing). Both Barca and RM are coming to the end of eras where the teams need to be rebuilt. RM have better young players but are not...
League position and pulling power counts for a lot.
Brighton earned 107.5 million from their league position and for being selected for TV on 14 occasions.
Leeds earned 138.6 million by finishing 9th and for being selected for television on 26 occasions.
Man City 153.9 million 25 TV appearances...
Southampton - Swansea if they beat Brentford - Watford and Norwich if they sell Buendia are my favourites for relegation. 32 points should be safety mark. Think Villareal showed that the Premier League is not as good as the Premier League think it is. This season was weak with bottom 3 getting...
Huddersfield spent very little. Don't remember Hull or Reading spending either. Makes you wonder what some teams do with the 200m they received (assuming they survived at least one season). West Ham have shown you can go from just above relegation zone to just below Champions League. Next...
Of the teams coming up I think If Brentford win the play off they might survive. Watford will probably struggle as will Norwich if they sell Buendia. Soton are my favourites to drop and I think Burnley will join them. Can't see 3rd from bottom getting more than 32 points.
Quite happy with the three players we bought for 48 million. If we bought White we might not have been able to afford any of these. Llorente looks really good. Probably going to spend around 50-60 million in the summer. 2nd season syndrome, don't see it myself. Sheff U were losing once their...
The way Brighton set up makes it difficult for Leeds to get in behind them but this is probably why Brighton don't score many goals either. We missed Phillips and Raphina last week and Rodrigo was just on his comeback trail. However just played city, lpool and Manu and probably mentally tired...
You should spend 25 m on a top striker and so long as he doesn't get injured I reckon you could easily finish 9 - 14. You lose too many points because you haven't got a strong presence up front.
what rule did Bielsa break over spygate? Still got fined 200k which was a big fine in the Championship. They have broken a rule - 9L I believe. It was on talksport yesterday morning.
A big points deduction will move most of the 14 clubs up a few places. At approx 3m a place nothing to be sniffed at. Regarding just punishing owners what is stopping the next set just trying to do it again in the future? That's why the punishment has to hurt fans and players of these clubs so...
I don't go along with this don't punish the clubs as it affects the players and fans. Take Man U - Remember the Norwich scarves in their protest to get rid of the Glazers? Soon disappeared as soon as they won a trophy. They could easily have got rid of the Glazers if they boycotted the home...
Our leeds podcast the square ball had it spot on this morning. They said this breakwaway is due to Leicester, not only winning the league recently but competing for CL places. Also made the point of who did better out of the Harry Maguire transfer. Leicester rebuilt half their team. Leicester...
By the way we have had loads of injuries which is why we have played full backs at centre half. Nearly all our major summer signings have been out injured for large parts of the season. Last week was the first time we could pick all our centre halves. Throw in our rubbish pitch which had to be...
I think your negativity when in the lead and your substitutiions have a lot to do with it. Take the Leeds match. You were fairly comfortable until Potter took off your better players and let Leeds back into the game. If Bielsa had put Pablo Hernandez on 10 minutes earlier Leeds would have...
