Dragusin takes Dier's place and Udogie Lloris's. Sarr takes one of the homgrown slots for the league.Don't forget that Udogie, Sarr and Dragusin will count as over 21's next season and require to be registered in the squad - this season all 3 are i21's,
I assume you are referring to Kane, but Udogie and Sarr stayed put on loan. Skipp had a great loan spell @ Norwich and all of Ndombele's loans should be counted as successful because it means he wasn't here.I’m not a huge fan of loans. In recent times they haven’t served us well (with one obvious exception). But hopefully Veliz bags a few.
Where is everyone getting the 3 assists from? He had 1 against United and 1 yesterday. Am I missing something?
Haven’t they been playing a 16- and a 17-year old this season?imo barca is a bad choice for a 17 year old, he can always play for them down the line if its his dream
Like the idea that he’s going to get regular football.Guarantees about playing time. Not sure on it myself even with that
Exactly. Look what they did to Ansu Fati.Haven’t they been playing a 16- and a 17-year old this season?
Timo had a great game yesterday, I will be very happy if he maintains his form and gets a contract.
For me we don't have a squad that can compete in 4 competitions and Ange backs that up. Before January he said we need two more windows, in the pre Brentford conference ,he still says we have a long before we can compete in 4 competitions. It's unlikely that by the end of the summer window we'll have a squad to compete in 4 competitions. I just thought with this new set up we'd be able to push on and make a few more signings, which would mean less burden in the summer.
As long as we start really competing in the league and the FA Cup, that'd already be a major improvement. Unless you're Dirty City, you don't all of a sudden go challenge for every comp you're in, it just don't happen overnight in 99.9% of cases.Timo had a great game yesterday, I will be very happy if he maintains his form and gets a contract.

Who said Bill was in Spain solely for cervezas and la playa? Man is TFC's very own La Liga mule.It's being reported in ABC Sevilla, probably the best source for stories regarding Andalusian teams (the paper has journalists "embedded" in Sevilla and Betis for example).
They say they have confirmed it with Sevilla and reckon it's a Plan B in case they don't sign Róbert Boženík from Boavista.
Here's the link - it's in Spanish but you can run it through Google Translate. The only real new detail is what I've put above though.
Alejo Veliz, el plan B de Bozenik

Funny how some people on here were claiming just this past summer that Newcastle will overtake us because they have deep-pocketed owners. Failing to understand that you could be owned by a Musk-Bezos-Gates consortium, but it's still the money the club generates that determines how much it can spend.Amen!
Biggest proof of that is Newcastle.
Owned by oil-barons, team has 0 depth, many long term injuries + Tonali ban - and NOTHING. Absolutely no reinforcements.
Feels like change of motus operandi for sure.
Now we have double advantage -
1) In terms of buying younger promising players, we have good experience and brilliant track record of late (U-dog, Sarr) ; PLUS our youth teams are flying very high - we are on 100% win ratio in U21 EPL and we also top U18 EPL.
2) When others play their cards with hands tied to their back, WE actually do have FFP wiggle-room to also tap into more expensive and established players market.
The counter argument could be that:imo barca is a bad choice for a 17 year old, he can always play for them down the line if its his dream
I'm quite positive we'll clear a lot of our remaining deadwood out in the summer, Ange will insist we do and he'll get his way.I do feel we are storing up some issues with a big clearout needed in the summer though. A lot to do with Requilon, Sess, Rodon, Spence , Lo Celso, Hojbjerg, Ndombele, Gil maybe Solomon to be moved on. Would have been good to make some headway on that but no one has got a pot to piss in.
