In theory they shouldn’t be buying players for a specific Head Coach anyway. The point on wingbacks is one I’ve made consistently, it’s the area they haven’t put a heap of funds into and the one that’s most critical to this formation. It means they are not over leveraged to the formation financially

The no question about that podcast is excellent…. Particularly the financial episodes @spgoals7.bsky.social … Subprime goals is your man.

Good spot Zak, thank you! Have changed in the underlying article. Transfer debts of 180,000mn might be a bit trickier to navigate...

Not sure I would describe it as fascinating 😅 but I’m glad I can help share a little light on it!

Appreciate the kind words, Pip. Agree, midfield is going to be an ongoing issue this season but was always going to be tricky to get everything right this summer.

I’m sure myself and @nqatpod.bsky.social will find some time!
