Out of interest, does the number of views of include repeated clicks by the same user? I always assumed it did. Doesn’t matter either way I’m just curious.

It's a certainty unless 1.2m separate users have viewed the adeola friday thread!

Utd were clearly penny pinching when they refused to meets Dortmunds valuation of Sancho last summer.

I'm glad some clubs do. Otherwise the transfer market and the fees paid would be more out of control and excessive than they are now.

taio

They posted that Leeds have spent 103m over the last 5 years. Burnley have spent 170m. It’s also worth noting the team the Leeds team that beat us twice this season actually cost less than our starting eleven. Yes seen that cheers. You said their squad cost less than ours. I was referring to their ...

Swiss ramble posted it yesterday.

They posted that Leeds' current squad cost less than ours?

taio

That’s a bit selective though? There squad actually cost less than ours and they finished on 59 points. I'm interested to see your source because I would have thought - perhaps incorrectly - that Leeds spent more last summer alone than what we paid in transfer fees for our current first team squad ...

I am one of them, seemed like I was just the negative minority for talking about it though.

I know loads of people who have expressed concern.

taio

I mean you were quick to jump on the ''They have spent £100M in the last window'' as some form of disregard for the job Bielsa has done, every club in the PL has spent money, including ourselves, just spread out over a longer period of time. We receive £130M a year for remaining in the league, we c...

taio

It's concerning anyway but what choice do we have now? fans have been fine with the debt taken on to buy the club, we need investment in the squad more than we needed new owners. I have absolutely no idea on ALK's plans regarding the debt, I'd like to think ALK will be paying it back themselves and...

Why are we judging what they spent last year, why not use the last 5 years?

Where did we form a judgement? But now you mention it because the last five years doesn't compare like with like.

And a proportion of that was for Costa who they were obliged to purchase.

Yes but not sure how that affects the point about how much they spent.

This will really set the cat amongst the pigeons, no way Dyche has spent more than Bielsa to assemble a team, b bb bb bbu but you need you spend billions to pass the football.

They spent circa £100m last summer.

Only players I would keep are Pope, Tarks, Mee, Taylor, Westwood, McNeil, Wood, Vydra

The rest can all go. None of the rest are close to being good enough anymore

Why would he have started when we all know Southgate won’t pick him?

Probably not but I'm certain Pope wants to be in the squad and he would see it as a big achievement in his career.

taio

hang on lads, we complain that we always play 4-4-2, Dyche tries something different and you complain. It's the perfect game to try something. It's clearly not working so the manager needs to figure out if that's down to tactics, players or attitude. So far it's the perfect end to a crap football s...

“Sheff Utd deserve to be in front”??

I'd say so.

Poor half. I hope Dyche reminds them strongly just for starters of his minimum requirement is the maximum effort mantra.

taio

Some odd decision making by Dunne.

taio

Poor goalkeeping

taio

I would like us to test the water on Brooks. It may turn our that he's out of our reach because we don't have enough money and/or bigger clubs go in for him. However if not he would certainly strengthen us in a position we must strengthen and he may be keen to return to the North West.

One of the best strikers ever, his nationality stopped him winning on the international stage, but he certainly deserves to be mentioned in the same way we talk about Weah.

He deserves to be talked about way above Weah.

Lewandowski breaks Gerd Muller's 49 year old record https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/57213750 This guy just keeps breaking records, and his scoring rate is phenomenal over a prolonged period, he surely deserves to be mentioned in the Messi/Ronaldo bracket now. Great player. But certainly not in...

Of course but I'd rather we gave contracts out to guys who'll actually be able to contribute on the park, I can only assume the situation was so bad last summer that SD felt he had no option but to keep Brady on, as it doesn't sound like there was anybody coming in to replace Robbie if we'd let him...

taio

It's fine extending contracts, but eventually you can end up with an ageing dressing room, which is exactly what we're in danger of, and then having to make sweeping changes in a short time which can really affect the morale and team ethic, plus any new players will need time to bed in, that's why ...

taio

tbh, that's not saying much this season. We've had some brilliant performances and some terrible ones. I'm not sure Brendan Rogers will spend 20-30 million because he's outscored Matthew Lowton on our player ratings :D No doubt he's been one of OUR best players I'm sure there will be interest in hi...

taio

Well Hendrick for all his faults was at least a virtual ever present, whereas Brady has barely kicked a ball for us in 3 years now. Regarding wholesale changes that's risky in a single window, but this problem has been brewing for several windows now, and the previous board didn't take action to al...

He looks like Usain Bolt with Ben Mee next to him.

They are both quick enough to enable them to be a brilliant centre half partnership that has been critical to our successes.

Yet JBG was offered an extended contract some months ago for another two years after this Barnes and Cork contracted to 2022 with the option to extend Westwood contracted to 2023 Lowton, Norris and Long two more years also The ageing squad is being extended Is this the plan of Dyche or just the fac...

I'd agree with you. It is not what he's in the team for but he has missed some absolute sitters for us though! Bet his ratings would be even higher if he'd have put a few of those away. Hope he practices his finishing over the summer Yes he has missed a few from close range especially with his feet...

he's not had the best season, some brilliant games but some truly awful ones.

What the one wood chance where he missed the target? You can’t seriously be suggesting we deserved anything out of that game? There were some positives from it but we are brushed aside without Liverpool even getting sweat on. Wood, we had one cleared off the line and more shots on target than them....

taio

Could quite easily have finished that score with the chances they missed. If it wasn’t for some heroic defending from Tarks and Mee with some last ditch tackles could have been more. Mane, salah, firminho all missed sitters What about the chances where we came close - do they not count in your irre...

taio

I honestly just didn’t see the same performance. Liverpool on another day should have won that 6-0 they missed some incredible chances no more so than Mane in the first minute. We looked ok and tried hard but in reality Liverpool didn’t have to get out of second gear. Some positives to work on, but...

I hadn't noticed so was a complete guess on the basis youth players normally sit together in a section of the CF stand.

Will they not be youth players who will be having regular tasks and together on a daily basis without a requirement to wear masks?

Very good all round team performance. Unfortunate to be down. If only Wood could've have taken an excellent opportunity.

Decent header that

I'd would be very surprised if we could increase sponsorship revenues by £25m a year - that feels like a massive uplift for our club.

Kane and Son both hit the post within seconds of each other when it was easier to score. Still 1-0 somehow.

It was very good save off Kane to be fair. Alli should certainly have scored with the second.

taio

There's a debate to be had about whether Cork should start next season. I think there's a good chance he should and will depending of course on what happens in the transfer window. The suggestion his legs have gone is just a baseless and therefore unnecessary criticism.

taio

I don't believe Cork has lost his legs either. Has been a key player and continues to be.

Fair comment.

I was just under the impression that when managers/players reach the last 12 months of there contract they can openly speak to suitors.

Players should have 6 months or less remaining on their contract to openly negotiate with another club.

taio

Does anyone know the situation with his contract, I understand there is only a year left on it now. Does that mean he is free to talk to potential suitors? Or even better has anyone heard if he is likely to be offered a new contract or accept it? Not sure how him having a year left has any bearing ...
