Pope is better than Onana, Botman is better than Maguire. You've been a bit selective with how you've matched up players in midfield. The combined midfield would be Bruno, Bruno & Tonali or Joelinton. Not sure about Barnes v Garnacho.

Isn't it reported that Isak, and several other players, have clauses that reduce their pay if we don't qualify for champions league? The new contract for Isak was reported as being in response to this. Could be that the club see the pay reduction as a good opportunity to convince Isak to extend and protect our prize asset, plus keep him happy. 'Extend one year and your at won't drop' situation?

Isn't there a big difference in the 3 year loss we can make though? This year we had to balance our two losses of nearly 60m and so has to make a right 10m profit. Assuming we've made that 10m profit this year, next season we could take another nearly 60m loss and still be within PSR for three year losses. Anything the new 70% roles don't come in for next season, which they're not meant to.

Lol. Can't believe my post about him not lasting 10 days without getting injured came true.

I mean it's a rule that only negatively affects the big 6, so that's a change.

I might reading it wrong, but I think it's alongside it. So you're stuck to 70% revenue, but also for those clubs earning much more, they can only spend 5 times the lowest earner.

I might be wrong, but I think his goals at Palace all came really really early in his time there and then he didn't score much at all in the second half of the season. Either way, across the length of his career it seems like a purple patch. He's obviously not a bad player, but I would be surprised to see him start ahead of Joelinton Bruno Tonali.

Not sure he has much of an eye for goal. He averages 1 in 10.

I personally only really ever look at league. All comps can pad heavily with rubbish teams. Of course Wilson's record is even better than 1 in 2 when you consider half his appearances are from the subs bench.

You're right! Let's catch Villa and finish 4th.

You can't blame Froggy for thinking PSG deserved the win because of all the chances they created. He hasn't seen his keeper make a save all season.

Is the C meant to be a reference to the cities bridges or just stylistic?

0% chance we'll have three strikers of the calibre of Isak, Sesko & Guirassy next season. I'm not sure there is another team in the league with three strikers at that level. Wilson out and Guirassy in would be a slightly risky, but potentially smart move.

I don't think we can catch Tottenham, but I do think 10 points from our last six, given who we're playing, is a little pessimistic. We've picked up 10 from our last 5 which included Chelsea and Tottenham. Edit: and if you have Man Utd down to beat us, then I don't think 10 points will be enough for 6th either.

Match is in 10 days. Not sure Olise can survive that long without getting injured.
