We are wealthy in terms of asset's and revenue into the club, but in Terms of spending it's very tightly controlled.Well, actually, we're one of the wealthiest clubs in Europe and the most profitable in England.
But, yeah, if we all pretend we're skint I guess we won't all end up disappointed.
I think Lo Celso is a better player than Coutinho - for now and for the future. Not that they play exactly in the same position, but it's difficult to imagine a manager getting the best of them if they are playing together - not to mention Ndombele, Dele Ali, two wingers, Kane, etc. Also, important to notice that without the ball Coutinho is a nullity.
We don't need him.
We don't need him.
Great word.
I think we know that!!!
Lol, was it a mistake?

Yes. Our spending is tightly controlled....
But like I said, we're not skint.
No but we act as if we are.
Absolutely agree.
Don Balon say they want KWP and Aurier for Coutinho plus they will pay Coutinhos wages. Levy thinking about it
Even longer to wait until our window opens on deadline day ffs
Effectively just means there won't be a delay to the opening.
Will be the same length of window unless they extend it at the summer end.
Barca have a habit of experienced players (Toby) to use as backups. I'm sure he'd be pretty happy to play 15 games a season and play for Barca.
reminds me of the way people Miami make up words. “Irregardless” and even “disirregardless”
Serious question: does Toby have enough skills on the ball to play even semi regularly? Those guys don’t really blast balls out of the back. They play out of the back.
Toby was key to our system under Poch as he was our best passer of the ball. A few teams had us on the ropes when they didn't allow Toby the ball in defence. This forced the ball out to our full backs; with disastrous consequences! Remember when everyone decided Trippier had become rubbish overnight? Nope, the other teams figured out how Poch liked to play the ball out from the back.

The Portugal international right-back is currently on loan from Southampton but is due to become a free agent after June 30
Soares joined the Gunners on loan from Southampton in January but has yet to play for the north London club.
The right-back was brought in as cover for Hector Bellerin, but arrived with a knee injury.
If Soares is to sign a short-term extension to stay at Woolwich beyond June 30 before deciding on his long-term future once the season finishes, all parties must agree to the deal by June 23.
As much as I'm against signing Coutinho, it doesn't matter what he does if he does it brilliantly. Robben made a career out of cutting inside and shooting...Not exactly same position - but I agree
Coutinho can do ONE thing from ONE specific position, but credit where credit is due...
It's what he doesn't do which is the issue for me, but more than anything it's the fact that we have WAY more pressing matters to address with our recruitment.
