Gethin

Says the bloke that watches twelvety million games of football every day

In a period where we were in the Europa League, nuAnny only was partially open and we spent £160m net on players. Things have moved on from there

Fibre is great but we ran the B&B with up to 40 connected devices (ours and guests) doing all sorts at 42mbps and never had an issue. Anything above 25-30mbps is workable for most people’s needs at the moment

YOU THINK YOU KNOW BETTER THAN THE MANAGER DO YOU??? EH? EH?

Massive fanny Don’t. f***ing. Encourage. Him.

If we win today only Arsenal and Newcastle will be able to catch us

Onana dropped from the Manc squad

We’re also losing our third highest paid player plus others. I think even with resigning Konate to a better contract we’ll be fine, even on the UEFA wages ratio too

Reckon that wages stuff is b******s myself. We’re in a very good financial position at the moment and those two were already our highest paid players

Not unless you’re a massive fanny

Just seen the score. Gerrrrrrrrin!

BURN HIM!!!!!

Actually I’m wrong on these three for Europe. They’d be U21 players in the PL but not for Europe as they’d have to be with the club 2 years to qualify for the UEFA B List. That means we’d have to put Kerkez as a HG/AT player on the A list. The other two would take a NHG space in 25/26 This stuff is a bloody minefield

If they’d done it in the international break, the inevitable appeal might have been done and dusted by the summer. As it is that’ll now probably rumble on into next season

Nah if it was for me it should be a wänker hand in the searchlight

2025/26 squad Now we've got more certainty over Mo and VVD, it's probably worth looking at what that means for next season. Making a few educated guesses, this is what the squad might look like before any signings are made. I've included Mamardashvili as he's already signed and assuming he'll replace Kelleher in the squad. Goalies Allisson (NHG), Kelleher (HG / CT), Mamardashvili (NHG), Jaros (HG - CT) Defenders Van Dijk (NHG), Konate (NHG), Gomez (HG/CT), Quansah (HG/CT) Alexander Arnold (HG/CT), Bradley (HG/CT) Robertson (NHG), Tsimikas (NHG) Midfield Gravenberch (NHG), Mac Allister (NHG), Szoboszlai (NHG), Jones (HG - CT), Elliott (HG-CT), Endo (NHG), Morton (HG-CT) Forwards Salah (NHG), Diaz (NHG), Gakpo (NHG), Nunez (NHG), Jota (NHG), Chiesa (NHG) Fringe / Loan players McConnell (U21*), Danns (U21*), Nyoni (U21*), Ngumoha (U21*), Bajcetic (U21*), Doak (U21*), Beck (HG/CT) * Will be HG/CT by the time it becomes relevant Key NHG: Non-Home Grown (13. Losing 3, possibly 4 [Diaz] & gaining 1) HG: Home Grown player in the PL (5 - losing 4, possibly 5 [Elliott]) CT: Club Trained - UEFA (5) AT: Association Trained - UEFA (0) So that means we'll have 18 players under contract. We usually use 19-22 players each season and we'll be able to sign 4 NHG & 3 HG (2 if Beck comes into the squad which I doubt) and those can all be Association Trained (i.e. trained at other clubs as a youngster) without affecting the CL squad Interestingly, we may have no U21 players in the main squad for the first time in ages - Elliott, Quansah, Bradley and Morton are now too old and are Home Grown/Club Trained if they stay. Maybe McConnell or Bajcetic if they get moved up to the main squad. Players we've been linked to Kerkez - U21 this season then HG/AT from then on Huijsen - 2 more seasons of U21 then HG/AT Hato - U21 and I think is still young enough to qualify as HG/CT if he's here 3 years Isak (!), Ekitike, Cherki - NHG

Don’t think Konate or Quansah will be going anywhere. If anyone’s leaving it’s more likely Joe

I mean there’s a whole thread explaining why it doesn’t matter if he can be arsed to read it

And I know I bang on about this, but would 19yo Huijsen get enough game time here to progress. You’re already seeing it with Quansah
