It's a nice, clean and simple design. Overall i like it, but my one bit of feedback is to scatter the signatures across the field (more random placement). I like the soccer ball pattern in the lemmy logo.
It shouldn't be too much of an issue. Fab will most likely start as DM with either Henderson/Tiago pairing with one of the new signings. Should allow for good integration and rotation.
You guys should do much better this season now that you have a midfield. Fully expect you to finish comfortably in the top 4 (unless you catch the injury bug).
Their midfield was non existent last year and they are at least addressing the issue. With the quality of players they have in attack and defense they should be able to secure a top 4 position, IF they stay healthy. I'm worried an injury or two to key players and they may struggle.
The fight for the top 4 is going to be interesting this year.
Clearly he did not do the math. If he slept with 1 woman a day, everyday, for as long as he was alive, then yes that is possible.
But let's say he waited till he was 14 to start having sex, well that's 2 women a day, everyday for 14 years.
Dude is fucking delusional
OK so this isn't easy to answer.
First off, we haven't spent that much up until these past few years, and even then it's not like we are outspending everyone around us by a huge margin. In fact Newcastle, Nottingham, West Ham, and Man U all had higher net spends in 22/23 and we only spent 25m more than Tottenham.
Second, up until recently our wage bill was low compared to other top 6 teams and we are now 4 just behind Liverpool. This gave us a little more freedom to spend on fees and we weren't paying high wages.
Third, we have that sweet CL money. This extra income will allow us to spend a little more freely then we have in the past.
Lastly. United have spent close to 1b in transfers over the last decade and the owners are siphoning money out of club, whereas our owners are injecting money back into the club. As far as I'm aware all of the other teams owned by the Kroenke's have won championships lately and we are the only one who hasn't. It's in their best interest to ensure their investment continues its on field success so that the value of the team can continue to grow as well.
City won't over spend on players these days and after our first two bids were rejected I'm guessing City took a chance and submitted a bid hoping to poach the deal. City doesn't need to spend that much, nor do they need to waste time dealing with Sullivan and his outrageous demands.
West Ham are being difficult, and all the power to them. We have finally met their demands and now being the only team to meet them we should see this ordeal come to a close hopefully by the weekend or just after. We need Rice, so the price is easy to justify, although it is expensive.
Overall this deal was probably ours to lose, and I'll be glad when it's all over and done.
We would have been stuck in mediocrity if he stayed, so it's quite the Everton signing if you ask me.
If I was an Everton fan I'd be nervous. He may be better than whoever he is replacing, but that is never an excuse to settle.
Maybe..... just maybe we find something that isn't reliant on exponential growth. Our resources are finite and yet we adhere to an economic ideology that only cares about profit, at any/all cost.
This reminds me of when China was throwing around money like it grew on tress, and I don't see this being any more successful.
