@DF93k@Kish_P14@mbhinqwana So you think they just walked in the meeting room, offerred 240k p/w and that was it? Pretty sure they tried to get the best deal they could given the circumstances.
@DF93k@Kish_P14@mbhinqwana There is, probably because he could have gotten that elsewhere. Reality is that if he doesn't renew, he signs for a top European club next year. If you gotta pay a bit over-the-odds to persuade him, given the current situation, so be it.
@Kish_P14@lukeherbert@mbhinqwana By that logic nobody renews post-Poch. Players need a platform, and player + manager have to be aligned stylistically. He was massive in the Europa League win real pace and recovery. I'll ask you this : If he doesn't sign here, he goes somewhere better than us or worse?
@Kish_P14@mbhinqwana Well him not signing a contract is not going to increase his value and if we don't pay him the 240k, he will go and get that somewhere else. Top players want to get paid. If we want to compete we have to match what the competitors pay. Again, I don't get the man utd comparison.
@Kish_P14@mbhinqwana So your idea is to let him go this or next season (for peanuts) and waste money failing to replace him? We know how good he can be so why not invest in players we know? Also i don't get the utd analogy they were giving 500k a week contracts 10 yrs ago.
@Tgarratt10 Always' is a lot to promise from a navy that currently has more admirals than warships and spent half of 2026 unable to get a carrier out of port.
@TaylsAVFC@GD5496119@avfc_stef Your owners are shortsighted and somehow thatโs our problem? The seasons you claim you were better than us,were you buying players with merit? Stfu. Itโs a money game and we played it better it seems.
@larsthfc Liverpool bought Robertson from a relegated Hull if i remember correctly. You are acting as if all our players are over 30 y/o. Itโs about getting the balance right. Even Ange said he had too many youngsters.
@TheLocalYidiot I think weโll find that itโs much easier to shift people knowing their spot is now not guaranteed. Players have been too comfortable, for too long at spurs.
@Kish_P14 I enjoy your analysis, but youโre argument is too shortsighted. How do you know what De Zerbiโs vision is? We probably wonโt have the opportunity to sign someone of Tonaliโs calibre with his profile, so when the opportunity presents itself, you have to take it in my opinion.
