Where have I said we have a divine right to win anything? More lies.

When Christian was giving his all yes. Midfield is shot and no striker
What's worse is grown men like
Airfixx
stomping their feet and bawling like babies when anyone dares to criticise the extremely wealthy owners of our football club.
Or how many times has levy tried to get too much money out of a sale so we miss out. Then they end up being sold for a lot less down the line or going for free.

We had a prosperous oppurtunity to sign Haaland before this window if we wanted to. Now he’s banging in goals for Dortmund after five minutes on the pitch. And we got no striker available.
Signing him isn't that Eze.
Yep. Our demise coincided with Eriksen’s.
"Play back-up to Kane? ....No thanks."
"Be the main-man at Dortmund instead? .....Yes please."
Makes you wonder why United, Juve etc. didn't manage to score him too...... Well some of us anyway.
But fucking why? Why does he have to be Kane’s backup? If Haland played better he should have got the fucking nod, even over Harry the God Kane.
Two players we haven’t replaced - Eriksen and Dembele. Both totally defined our style of football.
I imagine it’s why Ndombele is so important. Someone to build around, when we get the chance.
Suddenly he doesn't have a problem with it then. I wonder why?What's worse is grown men like
If only it were that simple
It's not my position... It's just the logical position of the striker(s) in question....
Why did he not back himself over Dybala & Ronaldo or Rashford & Martial either?
As you said, all those club have top strikers which would be a number in front of him in the que. Even when Harry was playing, we desperately needed someone to hold up the ball for him and play him through since Dele’s been shite most of the time this season. Haaland would be the perfect man for all those things.
I actually thing we’ve changed slightly. Up until about two games ago we were just hitting it long through Toby.
Now, we’re certainly trying to play it through midfield, only it’s very narrow - all through the middle. Watford were able to sit deep to remove all the space behind. As the game went on, they realised they were stronger and just started pushing us around.
In short, we don’t have much in the way of width and we’re easy to defend against. Ironically, we could have maybe tried going long a little more.
"Come to Spurs and play #10"
Serious gymnastics you're applying here now.....
We could play this game in light of a plethora of desirable players all night... Point is none of those players i listed are bonafide #9s (Ronaldo arguably) yet he didn't go to either club for whatever reason despite their reported interest.
Maybe there's another reason altogether that he chose BVB, but to suggest we we had a clear ("prosperous"?) path to signing him is rather selective.
Most pundits will cite the "who'd want to play back-up to Harry?" line, so it's not about me being obstinate here.
He chose the team that was the most suitable for his career path. Fair play to him.
I see Borussia Dortmund as a direct rival to us in terms of signing up the best talents. We’re very similar as clubs and should give the talents a decent chance to make them selves up.
Of course we would never know if we actually had a chance, but we should have been there in the race to give him an offer. It’s time for us to behave as a big club.
