@KiwiPie that question will always be asked as he failed at Liverpool to start with and it begs the question whether he has developed since then. Personally I think he has, but the style of play is important for him and the stats show that, if he goes to a team without the high press I don't think he will be a success. Plus there is always the attraction of no AFCON or Asian Cup headaches to deal with. Personally I hope he stays.
Wilson also a Bournemouth legend too, and no surprise Eddie knows them all

I'd be suprised if Newcastle make too many big signings even though they need to as they're under FFP pressure aren't they?
-
Jose proves again that he has a (very) limited shelf life

Yes that's the way it's looking and that's why a few other clubs won't be spending big in January. They spent a lot on Tonali, Barnes & Livramento with an obligation to buy Lewis Hall without making many sales and I can't see them offloading anyone at this stage.
Forest and Everton under FFP charges - Everton because it is a 3 year cycle that is judged and Forest being charged is no surprise at all given how many signings they made for last season. Apparently they think it is unfair because it was assessed on June 30 before they sold Johnson but rules are rules etc and plenty of clubs have had to sell valuable assets to comply.
-
Forest have less to play with as well due to being in the Championship for 2 of those 3 years under the microscope.
Might be time for sides to start breeding more players from their academies instead of spending millions on waste.

Forest transfer balance was -190m for last season. They are also (according to the link below) well up in the list of salaries. Paying almost 3 times as much as Luton. And more than Brighton who are in Europe and made 95m on transfers this season and 82m last season
Every club in Europe ranked by their 2023-24 wage bill: Man Utd trail three UCL giants...
Premier League clubs dominate Europe in terms of money spent on player wages, but PSG and Real Madrid currently boast the highest wage bills in world football.

Firstly, those numbers are insane.
Secondly, the money in England is insane
Thirdly, lol @ Man U
-
Well Chelsea think they are clean thanks to amortization, so if that is allowed Im guessing other big clubs are doing it too
-
Amortisation to the extent that Chelsea have been doing, has already been ruled out going forward. I think the maximum you can now amortise a player purchase over is 5 years.
Chelsea will be in a power of shit if a few of their big money purchases don't pan out and they are forced to sell them at a massive loss. Amortisation policy will bite them in the arse.

Klopp leaving end of season.
That will be a huge change!
Basically the whole coaching staff
Pretty significant
-
Wow! Who comes in? I have a feeling they'll go very hard at Xabi Alonso.
He always said he was gonna leave in 2024 in fairness.
-
Nooooooooooooooooo!!!!
Fucking love Kloppo what a priveledge it has been to have him manage the greatest club in the world
-
They also need a sporting Director too.
Kloppo said he told the owners in November. So I hope that means we have a replacement already lined up who will be bringing his coaching staff with him.
Alonso would be great if we can get him. He is revolutionising football tactics in Germany
-
He extended his contract until 2026.
We knew it wasn’t forever but it is still hard to take hearing the news
-
@DaGrubster Let's be honest, contracts mean shit in football.
Gerrard lol, we did Liverpool a massive favour by giving him a gig and showing them how bad a manager he was.
