@sturae229@Llama_Bin_Wild My guess is emery loves players who are experienced because there's more consistency + follow the instructions given well. And with the lack of "game changers" (probably due to finances) it's important we have that
@sturae229@Llama_Bin_Wild I think we're on the same lines tbh. My ideal would be - frees or smaller fees under 20m on players being bombed out by "big clubs" on players (27-31)
And larger fees (30m+) on younger players with high potential.
@sturae229@Llama_Bin_Wild Yeah I don't disagree but I think the goal is probably- competitive short term and grow the brand so we can longer term plan later. I could be wrong but it just feels that way, and in the next few years hope that the 2/3 young players they keep adding improve.
@sturae229@Llama_Bin_Wild I think it's a difficult balancing act isn't it. They need to stay competitive, and younger players bring inconsistent performances normally. My best guess is maybe 3 players who are "ready now" (27-31) frees/unwanted at other clubs and a couple who are younger (18-20)
@KevHughesie@avfc_david@Chrsmo@J_Tanswell Why does anybody get mad about transfers, I know we all want a good team but it's literally just a job for the players. All the posts and articles are just part of the theater to generate money for companies. Jacob is hardly driving the deal , he's just doing his job.
@MatthewStadlen@LeeAndersonMP_ To do so would require an ounce of intellect. Unfortunately for our country, most political candidates seem to lack that quality
@CWeatherspoon_@SC__AV@J_Tanswell Thank you,is it profit as in because we didn't sell him for much more than we brought him? Or as in his book value was still high because we brought him not long ago? (Not sure how scr works)
@Alex_Berwick I think it's on an overall level rather than a like for like replacement I believe. Say (hypothetically) Martinez sale would free up big wage space which can be distributed across numerous spaces. Same with Rogers with a large fee.
A wonderful servant in claret and blue and one of the @PremierLeague's all-time greats 💜
Congratulations on an amazing, record-breaking career, @JamesMilner 👏
@KevHughesie It's rubbish having to keep losing our better players.He's been brilliant for us, and would be a useful asset to sell the following season if we're not in CL.
I do back emery to get the best out of players he has but it be a big blow as our second majority goal threat
@Yaann6@Son_Lyme Yeah let's see what happens,it will be an exciting summer I'm sure. I'm just personally buzzing for this team to have got over the line in 2 competitions.
@Yaann6@Son_Lyme Yeah world cup an interesting piece of the puzzle isn't it this summer mate.we can't go into the summer with a small squad and most of them not had a break, especially off the back of this season. I'm pretty conscious about that.
@Yaann6@Son_Lyme It's going to be very interesting to see what happens really mate. The absolute maximum has been squeezed from the squad really, fair play to all of them,But can't really afford to stand still either.
@Yaann6@Son_Lyme Well we deffo need some fresh legs especially in forward areas considering we will lose a few. He's pacey as well which would be welcome
