With an option to buy he'd be ours if we wanted him! Although they may then price him up to screw us over
But the crux of what concerns me is that there are people whose core interaction centres around the witch-hunt. There is no substance behind what they (a specific group) are saying, and it's normally a case of using any old shit found online to almost incite a negative turn against who/whatever the topic is.
So you are admitting that you're attacking them? Okay then.
It's bad in either direction, Sammy, and I also think it's very wrong for them to have said those things to you previously (whoever it was that did).
*sigh* I just wish there wasn't infighting going on in here.
I really do believe that if the our transfer window ends strongly then everyone on here will be pleased. Then we can just focus on Wembley being pants.
Well fair enough. I think there may be definite grounds for frustration (though hopefully the next 48hrs will avoid that) but inappreciate that completely overblown and kneejerk negativity can go too far.
Um..excuse me. My attitude has been the complete opposite mate.
I often criticise the way the club is run. I will never ever accept our lot. I'm forever crying out for us to push on to the next level. And I will never take the lazy approach that we never had it so good.
Have you had a drink or something
If you mean Barkley is injured, it won't affect anything to do with a medical (who says it hasn't already been done and what is left is the fee?). Everton haven't even confirmed an injury, it's all rumour at the moment.
Aurier will have his work permit tomorrow, and it's just a question of when we choose to reveal that (there could be tactical reasons behind this).
The last one I have money on, and I still hold a decent level of confidence over a deadline day surprise.
Wait a sec mate isn't this a bit hypocritical, you've been having a go at people over the summer for being negative and criticising levy, but here you are criticising our manager. So is it only okay to voice concerns with the club if they are the same concerns you have?
Welcome Pierre-Gabriel!
Please be Bale. It would shut up all the right people!
No, whats shocking is thinking there is a person on this planet beyond critique. No one is beyond critique.
Thats ironic, because neither do you......yet you claim
Nit pick all you want over semantics but the player wasnt sold over Pochs head. He wanted him out, and that much is obvious.
Barkley has been injured all summer, so if he didnt want an injured player, he should have pulled interest way before this week
Personally Id rather he said, we need to adapt and will take a while
Yeah, my point was he hasnt identified his replacement in the squad though
He said it a few days before playing him.....we had no one else, I know. So why not say "he's ready".
Which he was.
No he could have said what he did a week later.....about signing 3 or 4 players, if thats what he felt. He said it anyway after, so think about that before you ask "what was he supposed to say..."
None of that has any bearing on what I said, its just rant
We all want the team to push on. To.see us so close to a title and not buy that special player or two to give us those extra points or goals in knockout cup games is frustrating. For once we have build solid foundations that have come good day earlier then we would have predicted. But at the same time, we should accept and appreciate what we have seen. As I said, our last two seasons were better then we thought when the season started. We have a team and a stadium coming. We are continuing to grow. Until the season finishes and we see what we end up with you can't really say we have gone backwards or not. Everyone seems to be saying they would be happy with a top 4 finish given we are at Wembley. That plus a cup (even the league cup) would be great. Trophies and consistent top 4 is what we want. Just because we have built the team on the cheap and many players are with 50-120m it doesn't mean we are going to spend that on players. Our income and revenue has not changed and until that improves then we can't expect our transfer and wage policy to change. Some people just need to be realistic.
I don't drink, so no.
You are definitely on the wind up if you think you've been optimistic. You're what I would call a pessimist in denial - you refute the existance of any optimism, and package as some sort of 'realistic positivity'. Even ignoring the stadium side, I could go back a few weeks in this thread and see you talking about, and triumphantly agreeing with, posts where you or others claim we wouldn't buy a decent 3rd CB or pay more than £30m for any one player.
The only person who has said about "never had it so good" was Redknapp, and it's a quote stored firmly under 'twat' in the spurs dictionary. Improving as a team isn't just about finding things that could be better, it's about trusting and celebrating the trajectory it is already on. Choose to believe that we are going to have a new stadium, and buy a better class of players, whilst doing it the right way.
Surely you can see why it gets annoying for some of us to have positivity trampled over, especially as positivity has actually gotten us pretty far.
IT WAS FUCKING FUN UNTIL IT LASTED!
Sorry, but Im fuming.
Sorry, but Im fuming.
Please don't google and waste time.
The manager has said nothing to compare either player. Neither player has played a game for us, or is likely to do so. So any assumption is purely conjecture. Unless you happen to watch alot of Espanyol or Rayo V.
Sorry lads, I've been away on business for the past 30 hours and now with the shit show of emergency vehicles at Euston I can't take the doggos out until tomorrow.
I can't see Bale ever playing for us again (except in a testimonial or something)
