It's either an ineffective fig leaf, or it's to help maintain the dominant position of the big clubs. It doesn't stop clubs getting into awful debts, nor does it promote genuine fair play... it just means the smaller clubs can't compete with the bigger clubs and their huge revenue streams on a consistent basis (you have one of years, etc, but basically the small clubs will stay small and the big clubs stay big).

I do think whichever thinktank implemented it had honest intentions to make all things equal but it needs revision as it's ******** in it's current form.
I doubt the big clubs crying about other clubs becoming better than them really had an effect on it's inception.

Not so if they bring through a class of 92 who are loyal they can go from midtable to top four easily. How much money have people taken out or wasted on clubs that tried it like spurs etc? Were talking insane money pumped in.


United did it to Liverpool remember all this does it protect clubs who climbed the ladder legit like Arsenal,United,Liverpool against people like Abramovich buying a midtable club and pumping in enough money for them to bypass years of luck and success. How many managers have they been through again? It is a form of gambling they are trying to stamp out and rightfully so.

How often has that happened? Exactly.

They then ruin it by saying "£35m bid" - which is highly unlikely to go anywhere other than the circular filing cabinet......

£35m is just shy of €45m, and the Italian press all think Juve would accept somewhere around €50m. So it would make sense as an opening bid, perhaps.

Steve Bates has been the guy leaking the best club info on the tour (team sheets, and other plans), so perhaps he's heard something... perhaps not. We'll soon see.

It's the first acknowledgement of interest from a journalist on the Man Utd tour, so it's something.
 
I heard earlier that Arsenal are after Douglas Costa. (I can't remember where I read that though, I was just waking up :P) Wonder if that's a replacement for Cazorla?
 
Surely if we are selling Cazorla its because we simply can't cram him into already saturated midfield? I can't see us selling him and replacing him with a like for like.

Just a DM and sort that Chambers deal and I will be very happy. Schneiderlin will do.

I quite wanted to see jenkinson given a chance to be honest. I would maybe push him up field to the wing, he reminds me of bale.

But looks like we are going to ship him out. Unless I read correctly about chambers being moved to CB?

Still better than not signing someone.
 
Had issues with the medical when he went to Marseille as well. Supposedly got some sort of heart condition.

Shame, would've been a decent signing. Guess we'll be back in for Lacazette or Bony.
