Levy didn't spend £30m on Sissoko. It's actually quite a good deal.

That's what we bought Soldado to do.
Yep. And Poch will bin him if he thinks he won't make it or turn him into Jay Rod MK2.
If he is binned, we go through the cycle again.
So far, I think we bought Janssen to answer the critics that said "We couldn't buy a more ineffective striker than Soldado"
I kind of miss him
:soldadowatch:
Maybe they have us confused with West Ham and City and think our 750M stadium is being paid for by the taxpayers too.
Alas, THFC is footing the bill. But while their at it:
"BUY ME A STRIKER FOR WHATEVER PRICE AND PAY HIM WHATEVER HE WANTS"
"Who?"
"SOMETHING SOMETHING SCOUTS JOB, SOMETHING SOMETHING BLAH BLAH"
"We have scouted some great players and are building. Sitting in second place"
"I WANT FIRST"
Jesus fucking Christ
I might try that strategy with my mortgage payments. Tell the bank I don't want the house any more and will they let me off what I owe themLevy didn't spend £30m on Sissoko. It's actually quite a good deal.

Janssen is still young, younger than Harry Kane believe it or not. I trust Poch to be able to improve Janssen as a player.
Janssen's penalty taking skills as good as Bobby's. Perhaps he needs to work on his social media character a bit more.
I think he's a good lad overall, who would have done well at Spurs had we bought him before it all went downhill. I hope he revives his fortunes as he is genuine quality.
As for the drugs, if I had Sargent Major Pulis barking orders at me all day I think I'd be on the dickhead dust too!
He was inhaling party balloons and driving pissed up well before we put a bid in, as far as I remember. He apparently got sent back from a few loans as a teen due to his attitude, allegedly.
Gazza, Maradona, George Best were all notorious dickheads. Sometimes talent comes with a dark side. Clubs want to avoid such players now as it is considered a risk to the balance sheet and the club's public image.
That's all good and well but they are the exception not the norm , especially in this day and age.
...and they're also not much use when they are banned from doing most things because of their behaviour.
Paul Merson was and still is also a notorious dickhead, but was still shit
BREAKING: SKY SOURCES: BERAHINO BAN WAS FOR RECREATIONAL DRUGS
Earlier we brought you the thoughts of Stoke boss Mark Hughes on the fact that new signing Sadio Berahino had served an eight week FA suspension while a West Brom player, and now Sky sources can confirm that this was for recreational drug use.
HUGHES ON BERAHINO
We brought you news this week that new Stoke signing Saido Berahino had been banned while at West Brom. Here's Hughes on the situation:
"We are aware of it clearly - there was an FA disciplinary matter and Saido had an eight week suspension, I believe.
"We were aware of that before we signed him. In terms of more detail you would probably need to refer back to his former club. We aren't in a position to give any more details as we don't have them.
"He had issues at his previous club for 18 months, which this is obviously a part of. As with all players we did our research on him before we signed him, but that didn't change our thinking at all. We are pleased with what he is producing and he is looking forward to the game tomorrow."

He was the equivalent of a half pint over the limit.
How many young men could this be said of do you reckon? Probably about half I reckon. I don't drive but I have certainly been happy to let people who were over the limit do so, which makes me an accessory.
Youth and unwise decision making, inevitably bound together since the days of Adam and Eve
Or, reworded, he did 110mph after the equivalent of around 5 pints of beer.
Yes Bill, half of all young men have all drank 5 pints and done 110 mph down the motorway
5 pints? He had 101 mg of alcohol in his blood when the limit is 80 mg. Given that the limit for most people is just over a pint, it would seem that he had had more like the half pint over that I said (working on the rough calculation of a pint = 60 mg).
Not apologising for it mind, just saying it happens, you get punished and hopefully grow up a bit and don't do it again.
That's certainly the narrative that we'd be peddling if he had signed for us back in the day. For example, you highlight his doing nitrous oxide or whatever it is as a sign of a druggy past, but fail to mention that Kyle Walker did the exact same thing
