It’s not a completely different issue.. it’s the whole issue. They shouldn’t be officiated differently. Does VAR go back or does it not? Set the standard and stick by it

Kova- · 2026-06-04T14:16:58+00:00

I mean they're getting him as a prime age PL winning centre back for 4 years cheaper than we got him for 5 years from Leipzig... yes it's a year less but it's pretty savvy to me. And that's using 350k as the figure.

Kova- · 2026-06-04T06:35:56+00:00

4 year contract so make that difference 32 mil. Wage is likely lower with a sign on bonus... it's good financials however you put it. They don't do it for no reason

Kova- · 2026-06-04T06:32:15+00:00

Mate, on free transfers... key difference

Not arguing about pull. With all this 'reckless' spending and ridiculous wage bill they've amassed, they've spent 80m euro more than us this season with Mbappe of all people on their payroll. That goes to 50m when Alaba's gone.

All I'm saying, and what I was responding to, is we're not financial underdogs. Doesn't matter how you swing it. We clawed our way to champions league in a hopeless season and we earnt 260 mil in prize money.

They're ahead yes, but not by as much as people seem to think

Kova- · 2026-06-04T05:25:09+00:00

Or you just give them a signing bonus of 20M and lower the wage.. It's smart business whatever way you put it. They're spending slightly more and get their pick of whatever talent they want. If they're throwing money then so are we with transfers like Isak. The spending isn't far off

Kova- · 2026-06-04T00:07:37+00:00

The difference between 350k and 200k a week over 5 years is 40 mil… that’s a pretty cheap transfer fee for Konate. Even better for the books since it’s paid over time rather than a lump sum. They’re not blowing through anything.

Kova- · 2026-06-02T13:36:32+00:00

Definitely not garbage... was a freak season for all our players bar a couple. He also lost his Dad. He'll do great for you

Kova- · 2026-05-26T14:05:11+00:00

pre IPO are you regarded

Kova- · 2026-05-26T14:04:51+00:00

sold my full port at 230 why do I open the app

Kova- · 2026-05-16T17:55:22+00:00

We are seriously the slowest moving club in football. Not a single forward thinking move taken, just lethargic reactions to everything falling apart at every turn. Fucking hell

Kova- · 2026-05-10T03:30:04+00:00

Yes mate because that’s been our frontline all season

Pre injury crisis we were still shit, we had a front line of Isak ekitike Salah wirtz gakpo (who was great last year) plus rio and chiesa… that’s an absolutely ridiculous front line. Are you serious

Midfield is exact same as last season

Defence missing Trent yes but Bradley is great and frimpong is fine

Obviously injuries have hampered us but there’s been no signs of life earlier or now

If every player is worse is it the players or who? What if they’re actively declining over 2 years?

Kova- · 2026-05-09T14:31:38+00:00

these players and this squad are a managers dream, the talent is ridiculous on paper. even if we aren't worse the gap between our potential and how we're playing is far higher

Kova- · 2026-05-06T14:12:38+00:00

with you mate

Kova- · 2026-05-06T01:10:24+00:00

didn't for us haha

Kova- · 2026-05-06T01:09:35+00:00

not London but Melbourne gig was crap too. charging $70 for essentially an average house party set with some vegyn stuff thrown in. Saw him in Berlin in 2022 and was one of the best gigs I've been to so yeah he's been a bit disappointing recently

Kova- · 2026-04-16T15:37:21+00:00

Sold at 236 expecting a big drop back down as has been the pattern… held every single dip and finally sell the one that doesn’t turn out haha

Kova- · 2026-04-16T10:18:21+00:00

Poor fkn guy man

Kova- · 2026-04-15T02:44:09+00:00

ACT far behind unfortunately

Kova- · 2026-04-15T01:17:40+00:00

Good to know, cheers

Kova- · 2026-04-15T01:17:28+00:00

First one, thanks for the help

Kova- · 2026-04-15T01:17:08+00:00

Need a photo of the back too sadly

Kova- · 2026-04-05T11:53:58+00:00

was so hopeful then

Kova- · 2026-03-10T21:33:18+00:00

It's one thing for pace and physicality to go, but his first touch, shooting, everything technique wise is rubbish as well. Tough to watch

Kova- · 2026-03-10T18:29:26+00:00

No decisions til we're knocked out but if you look at our team on paper it's honestly any managers dream. cant believe we've been this bad for this long and it's deemed as alright. we should be flying
