Claudius he's also a major contributor to why we didn't buy a proper midfielder in summer 23, nor a proper forward in summer 2024. and he costs us 65m and 200k pw. and he's been average for 50% of his time here. hence my comment about him being a breaking point signing.

      Claudius the problem is we overpaid for him in fee and wages and allowed his purple patch to let us pretend we had no issue with our forwards.

        Gazza M not to be a dick, but it's 275k per week

          This is what Swiss Ramble pulled together last month on wages. Look at the graph with red and green bars for wage comparisons. This recurring discussion on wastefulness is misplaced

          If I understand correctly, the fact that City's wage bill is consistently larger than ours doesn't really prove your point given City's significantly greater resources...?

          Mirth kind of sums up our problems in general.

            Another one bites the dust...

            lorddulaarsenal because the form he produced in that second part of the season he hasn't been able to replicate consistently in his career so far.

              This is a good link, just on the small side...

                Do goals in the Champions League and domestic cups not count anymore?

                    daredevil I mean you’re still left with the same goal to game ratio

                      marmoush and kvara both on the move in january.

                        HomeSteak baena would fix most of our creativity issues from LW imo. he's not a traditional explosive winger like some of us are pining for, but he's an intelligent nippy technician that would make everyone in our left channel better. the kind of winger pep loves. pity the link is from that spoofer Ben Jacobs.

                          Understand a more refined player on the left would bring a lot of what we don’t have but I think we need a more powerful options - both Trossard and Martinelli get bodied as soon as they jostle for the ball. Get a leggy unpredictable fiend.

                          Williams, Barcola, Kvaratskhelia….

                          Gazza M disappointing that we're seemingly not in the running for two available wingers but you never know what goes on behind the scenes.

                          I'd be suspicious about any top player joining this current incarnation of PSG.

                            For that price, I would call that a good market opportunity ...

                            Depends on whether he’d be open to a move to us though

                              lorddulaarsenal if we paid enough he'd come. Thats the only reason anyone is taking a step down from Serie A to Ligue 1.
