I can actually fathom us returning to the top 4 this season. I believe we have the team to do it, it's all about just getting the mentality right in the squad and obviously hoping we get off to a good start to the season (by that I mean the first 10-15 games, not the first two Laughing

)

I can't wait to see Emery's tactics and philosophy on the style of play. If anything we needed after Wenger, it is someone that demands one hundred percent effort on the pitch day after day. If he can instil that fight in every player, we can do it. I think this season will also show a lot of which players Wenger truly couldn't get the best out of, so that's another thing I am looking forward to.

If Watford get £50M for Richarlison then they should automatically be put in charge of Brexit negotiations.

It'd be cool if more clubs did this.

Looks like Richarlison to Everton for 50m is actually happening.

This needs to be stopped. Seriously.

Where do we go from here? This surely has to be the tipping point?

100m on Richarlison and Sigurdson rofl

by Jay29 Mon Jul 23, 2018 10:41 pm

Everton are paying extra to hush up Watford about the whole Marco Silva thing, which I guess is beneficial for them in the long-run.

Nonetheless, they're still willingly paying £30m plus on someone with a single year in English football and who is without a goal in over 20 games.

As I said else where, the Premier League market is beyond broken now. Now every club is wealthy and doesn't have to sell to balance the books, and can pay whatever it takes to get someone they want. No wonder the prices have shot up like they have done.

At this pace, I reckon we'll see a significant slow down in transfers between Premier League clubs and even more players coming in from abroad or the lower divisions. Everyone is milking the league for all its worth now, but there's still better value to be found outside of it.

Having your biggest transfer target as Jack Grealish doesn't make you poor, it makes you stupid.

by Jay29 Tue Jul 24, 2018 8:29 am

Spurs are also building a new stadium which, I can tell you from experience, handicaps transfer business significantly and shifts the priorities somewhat.

Signing Son and Kane to new deals was the most important thing they could do this summer.

by Art Morte Tue Jul 24, 2018 11:01 am

Like I wrote in the transfers thread, I think Marco Silva and/or his associates will get a piece of that £50m Richarlison transfer (if it goes through). Apparently he and his people brought him to Watford and it's not unusual if they're set to benefit from a sale-on.

Tottenham have got a pretty good XI plus some depth, too, I'm not surprised they're not making moves. Don't really see who they could realistically add that would be a clear improvement on what they've got.

Hopefully the clubs outside of the top-6 will make some decent signings yet. A lot of clubs having a very underwhelming transfer window so far.

Well looks like Brighton landed one of our players.

Leicester can panic buy Welbeck whenever they are ready.

by RealGunner Tue Jul 24, 2018 7:04 pm

Jahanbakhsh is much better than Brighton

On Saturday 5 May, the football world was rocked by the news that Sir Alex Ferguson had undergone surgery for a brain haemorrhage.

Since then, the most successful manager in English football history has battled in a way only he knows how.
