I understand we have a ten million surplus from the Malen/ Tammy deal, taking in to account the younger kid.Wonder if we are lining up a big money signing and every penny counts, we will certainly know pretty soon???
1.) 24 Jan 2026 15:32:56
There's not a 10m surplus at all. 21m euros and Ozcan. Cash wise its about 3m if we're lucky.
2.) 24 Jan 2026 17:06:01
There are some loopholes around signing youth players so it’s possible that although we didn’t make cash profit on him it could contribute more than the 3 million towards psr.
3.) 24 Jan 2026 17:15:04
Dave I think that Sky getting it wrong again, they reported we go something stupid like 30 m Euros for the kid . UTV
13 Jan 2026 23:08:32
Playing devil's advocate, we'll sell Malen, Ollie gets an injury that sidelines him for a prolonged period, where does our striking force come from, Buendia is doing well but isn't a main striker, Guessed is a total misfit and isn't the answer in any position.
Sancho hasn't really put in a decent performance. With the FA cup, premier league and Europa on the horizon it's a real worry if we have an issue with our attacking options.
1.) 14 Jan 2026 05:29:18
That says to me that getting Tammy in for £11M is a no brainer, there’s even talk that Spurs might try to hijack that too lol ?

Was Emi ever going to play against Arsenal tomorrow, something just doesn't feel right according to my youngest grandson, not sure myself if there is anything other than a back problem, but anything is possible in football, let's not forget Emi has a track record of missing games for what appears questionable reasons.
11 Nov 2025 11:02:23
Quote from a knowledgeable BBC sport journalist."While PSR may be limiting the club's ability to spend, tying down the core of the squad is arguably more important than signing the next £100m player".
Couldn't agree more.
16 Sep 2025 22:14:05
I genuinely now think the quicker we get rid of Emery the better and he can take all the new signings with him.Football is dire tactics inept every team find us so easy to play against and yet Emery does nothing, boring predictable football equals failure.
1.) 17 Sep 2025 19:14:39
Something isn't right recruitment and player sales so off signing players and not playing them or loaning them out is nuts sign them to play them or don't sign at all, Enzo and kosta should be in and around this squad easy
2.) 18 Sep 2025 13:36:41
So Scot who would you replace him with?
3.) 18 Sep 2025 23:51:37
Mike Bassett!

If I was a top world class manager, Spanish, the family homesick and possibly the best job in the world offered to me is Real Madrid, would I seriously consider it, you bet I would.
1.) 29 Jan 2026 16:07:57
You'd be right to say that most would consider it.but equally, any manager looking to build a long term project and be given the time to develop a squad of his choosing and a culture of his making would probably think twice.
One of the biggest jobs in the footballing world, but equally one of the biggest risks.
29 Jan 2026 00:04:59
I know the subject has already been raised, but I think it's essential that we win tomorrow to ensure we get our second leg of the playoffs at home. With our injuries that could affect our league position an Europa win could be an insurance policy.
I hope we put the strongest possible team out tomorrow, if we don't and things don't work out with a win we could end up regretting it.
1.) 29 Jan 2026 11:15:09
Agree Scott, I'd like to see a strong team, however I think with the current casualty list I think Emery will juggle his resources.
We honestly can't afford many more injuries with the schedule we have.
As mentioned previously, I think the FA Cup is the one competition that we should make significant changes.
2.) 29 Jan 2026 11:31:19
I wouldn't risk Onana for this one
27 Jan 2026 20:34:32
Can't believe our three key midfield players are all out for some time, Kamara for the season the other two it's rumoured to be months. This is a real blow to our chances in the league and cups. Obviously will still have decent players however to loose three of the best seems so unfair.
Hopefully Dougie will step up and hope Onana doesn't join them on the injured list, he is prone. Why not push Torres forward in to left midfield and play Mings or Lindaloff in the heart of the defence, both looked good in the recent games.
1.) 27 Jan 2026 21:20:19
I’d like the idea of Torres in the middle but don’t think he has the engine nor the pace to be box to box could be a shout tho given our unlucky injuries
2.) 27 Jan 2026 22:55:16
I suspect that if it comes to it Lindelof will be the first option of converting a defender into a defensive midfield option, but let's hope it doesn't come to that and if we're really fortunate there might be another midfielder before the end of the window.
24 Jan 2026 20:28:57
Ed01, just watched the Liverpool game, apologies for aiming this at you mate, but why do the top teams when they lose and concede late can't accept that it's down to there own shortcomings in defending, Van Dyke is a massive figure and stood around like he didn't know what was happening, he wasn't blocked at all, there was absolutely nothing wrong with the goal, Slot had a different whinge, he thought conceding a late goal was an issue, not because added time wasn't too long but it wasn't enough. Should the ref have carried on after the four allocated minutes until Livy scored.
I am so annoyed that Arteta, Slot and Guadiola can't accept when they lose it's never their fault it's the officials. When the majority of teams have decisions that go against them very little is said. Sadly these whingers are actually just like Fergie, they are working on the next decision hoping to influence the officials. I find it infuriating that the media give them the air time to whinge, the rest of the teams aren't even given lip service
{Ed001's Note - I don't know what to say other than agreeing with you. Football is just about cheating these days and honour and respect is gone.}
1.) 24 Jan 2026 21:10:32
Nobody but nobody whinges like Fergie.
2.) 24 Jan 2026 21:14:49
Ed I'm sure we are not on our own mate, it's a never our fault from players and coaches/managers alike culture, and you are absolutely right it's a cheating culture, diving and whinging is all to prevalent and it's not restricted to just the top teams throughout football, sadly it's never going to change
3.) 24 Jan 2026 22:38:25
Arsenal blamed a ball for a loss and now Liverpool are blaming the wind, it's actually comical some of the things they come out with sometimes.
Not like Van Dijk had two bites of the cherry to stop that first goal and decided to make no effort after the Bournemouth player kept it in.
23 Jan 2026 20:01:00
Is Tammy the answer to our lack of striking force?, I definitely hope so, I appreciate it doesn't always work going back to a club, but we have think positively and hopefully it works out for all of us.
1.) 23 Jan 2026 21:58:35
If nothing else it may give ollie the kick up the backside he needs
2.) 23 Jan 2026 22:02:20
We can't pass the ball for Watkins to score so how is Abraham going to be the answer? Our only hope is that Bailey comes back with a point to prove and starts crossing the ball to whoever's upfront.
.
3.) 23 Jan 2026 22:55:15
Another way of looking at it is he could spring Ollie into life, especially in a World Cup year, and maybe he himself might have a sniff of making the plane, win win for us imo

4.) 24 Jan 2026 14:49:35
Bucktootg, ollie has had numerous one on one's of late and has failed to even produce a shot. Nothing to do with the service. Even sancho managed to get his head on a cross
5.) 24 Jan 2026 16:34:53
Been linked with Ramos of PSG, guessing in the summer, a proper statement that would be, he’s an assassin of a striker, I’d guess Ollie would be off in the summer if that was the case
UTV
6.) 24 Jan 2026 17:03:09
He needs to just start shooting instead of thinking about it, at his best when he doesn’t have time to ponder.
7.) 24 Jan 2026 17:07:56
We'll soon see. Hopefully someone starts taking their chances, not bothered who as long as we keep getting positive results.
15 Jan 2026 18:00:34
Dave it won't be the first mistake we have made recently
12 Aug 2024 16:33:45
With your there as well LOTM,
04 Jan 2023 16:08:37
Pity England wasn't a full time gig, Maguire would be in permanently. Man U defence with Maguire at the heart have been poor for a while, why would want a slow centre back.
27 May 2022 11:10:46
Its pretty much ball park what i thought, i think Elghazi will struggle to get anywhere near 10 i also think with ings wages, teams likely to want him will want to pay around 10 so he can maintain his wages.Ings still has time to run on his contract so he may want to sit tight, we would have to drop our valuation to get his wages off the books.
26 May 2022 19:49:24
Whack,Loti we are up to 15,how much do you think this lot would fetch?
30 Jan 2026 00:12:43
Pluffy, Tom is blinkered where Torres is concerned, Mings is an accident waiting to happen far too often, but Torres is no better and has no pace and is poor in the air, that's why it's essential we get a quality central back asap
27 Jan 2026 11:50:26
Daz agree, he definitely is up there with the very best elite manager/coaches anywhere.
26 Jan 2026 18:58:33
MD, unfortunately super JMG was able to celebrate all he likes with no football on the horizon for a while, I'm partial to a single Malt myself.
26 Jan 2026 18:53:59
Dave teams seem to set up to kick out of us, no wonder we are really struggling with injuries.
26 Jan 2026 18:52:31
Daz, agree absolutely amazing, no matter what is thrown at Emery he seems to come up with solutions. Injuries are obviously causing us problems and new recruits to cover midfield don't appear to be in the horizon, fingers crossed Emery has something up his sleeve. Missed the game yesterday at a family wedding, spoke to my Grandsons who both said we deserved it.
Fabulous result and some great performances. Thursdays team selection will be interesting, the positives are we played last Thursday and managed to up our game against Newcastle so hopefully this Sunday will be the same.
