He's 28 in May...so I think what dingdongo is saying is big transfer fee, 200k wages, 5 year deal equals a 33 year old and a big sunk cost at the end of it.

Not many clubs in that auction room.

Yep, Every club would want him but not many are buying 28 year olds nowadays. The whole market is messed up now. Clubs are stuck with their older players and can't shift them (unless they will go to Saudi)

Yep, very good player but to be a 28 year old with limited European/CL experience that will command big transfer fee, wages and probably 5 year contract length .. small pool (United stupid enough?)

Basically current bottom 3 at >90% to be relegated, go to next in line (Wolves) and drop off is to 17%, next on chart is <1%

That’s was 17/2- Wolves are now much better off at about 6% (28/2)

Maybe Brighton missed the boat on this one...as he's been well thought of for a while.

Or perhaps they've sold so many players for big money they just couldn't be arsed to sell anymore:)

I think they have, they will always need the money (point most people don't understand about more than half the PL)
 
Turning attention back to the league... and taking a raaaaaaaaaather positive spin on things... can we make our way up the table whilst we have fewer injuries (until the next batch of course!)

Note: if you are in second and chasing Liverpool and need to claw back 10 points in 10 games, that is a hugely tough ask because they win so many... but if you are in the bottom half chasing teams like Bournemouth, it is SLIGHTLY more possible to claw back 10 points in 10 games, because they won't win every week

Here are some teams above us and their form with (points from last 6 games) so we can see the battle in front of us.

It doesn't look very likely that Spurs will suddenly surge up the table, but not all of these teams can win every week, some of them must be playing the Top5 teams OR each other, so IF Spurs somehow cobble some wins together, we can definitely move up.

It is £2m for each place in the table, so Levy will be very keen.
Note our next 2 games are FUL and CHE and that will be a massive factor in where we end up... if we lose both our seasons deflates fast, if we win both then suddenly we'll be looking upwards. Obvious I know, but these next 2 really will make a difference.

46 BRI LLWWWW (12)
45 AST LDDWLW (8)
44 BOU WLWLLD (7)

42 FUL LWWLWL (9)

34 TOT LWWWLD (10) and MNU WLLDWD (8)
33 EVE WDWDDD (10) and WHU DLLWWL (7)
 
Not a chance. We MIGHT scrape a win in our next game against a Southampton side needing just three more points to avoid becoming the worst ever PL team, but we're not getting past 40 points.
 
Leicester (H) = win (27 pts) (X = Loss = 24 points)
Brentford (A) = loss (27 pts) (X = Win = 27 pts)
Man Utd (H) = draw (28 pts) (X = Win = 30 pts)
Ipswich (A) = win (31 pts) (Y = Win = 33 pts)
Emirates Marketing Project (H) = loss (31 pts) (Y = loss = 33 pts)
Bournemouth (H) = loss (31 pts) (X = Draw = 34 pts)
Fulham (A) = loss (31 pts) (Y = Loss = 34 pts)
Chelsea (A) = loss (31 pts)
Southampton (H) = win (34 pts)
Wolves (A) = draw (35 pts)
Forest (H) = loss (35 pts)
Liverpool (A) = loss (35 pts)
West Ham (A) = loss (35 pts)
Palace (H) = win (38 pts)
Villa (A) = loss (38 pts)
Brighton (H) = draw (39 pts)

Updated: Spurs currently beating my predictions by 3 points as we limp towards the finish line.

In a word, no.

We won’t finish above 10th.

I mean we are 5 points off Palace in 12th and they have a game in hand. So I'd say 13th is the highest we can finish unless we suddenly find some consistency we've only had in Ange's first 10 games. We are likely to finish between 13th (strong finish to the season) and 16th (poor finish to the season). Anything above 13th would mean us winning pretty much all our games against non-top 6 opponents and teams above us dropping off at the same time.
