He was signed LAST YEAR.... The price-tag is a thing of the past, Einstein.
Perhaps. They have Werner now though. They will play a flat back 4 with Kovacic sitting deep and then just hit everyone on the break. So the Thiago links make sense.
Absolute cunts.
But we do have a nice new big shiny stadium!
Maybe he meant obeliskWell -sammyspurs told me last week Joe Hart is the next Oblak so I don't know what to believe anymore
About Chelsea - and Havertz, Chillwell, Werner and Ziyech - and us.
I don´t want us to compete with their money. I´m not bothered about their spending or any of their huge signings. Honestly.
I understand we have a different structure, and I understand that we could be seriously affected by the pandemic.
But I want us to be smart and do our "little business", as Jose said, to make our team better and our squad more balanced.
That is not what we are doing.
How are we going to the season with a "much more balanced" squad - again, Jose´s words -, if we´ll have two recognized FB´s - assuming we sign one -, and that´s it?
We just had a disastrous season in terms of injuries and yet we don´t have a backup to Harry Kane - again!
Not to mention that, for the first team or at least for an immediate backup, we are still trusting in the Eric Dier experiment in our CB area.
This is less than "little business", this is not how you build a more balanced squad - and that´s my problem at the moment.

This I very much agree with. We've built great infrastructure, but the support staff of the club - recruiting and medical - just seem to be shit year after year.
This HAS to be the next big backstage project. The infrastructure is in place. Time to rework the backstage staff.
Some steps are being taken with the academy with Powell being brought in to be Head of Coaching for the U17-23s at least.
Did he bite the wrong person ?
It's called the Woolwich model. 10 years after a newly built stadium with zero investment.
It's not a question of money (it would take investment, but a negligible amount compared to other things ENIC have done), it's a question of willingness to vest aspects of organizational authority away from Daniel Levy's desk.
At Manchester City the operational representative of ownership is Khaldoon Al Mubarak, the chief executive of the business of the club is Ferran Soriano, and the ultimate overseer of the football operation is Txiki Begiristain.
At Spurs all three of those are Daniel Levy.
There is no one person at any of the top six clubs who has a remit as broad as Levy's. And the closest one is Ed Woodward who is also totally failing at it.

Well Jose wants cunts....Suarez on a free
He is just keeping the seat warm for Naglesmann. Within the next year there will be a change imo
The players they have and are recruiting are perfect for Naglesmann's tactics
Things are way too cozy. Any decent company after spending £120-140m like we did last year and seeing hardly any results on the pitch would have conducted a thorough review of recruitment and made changes. We just carry on like nothing went wrong.

Doesn't take much wit to stand out in a room full of footballers. What's more likely; that he has an IQ of 150, or he's just the sharpest person in a room full of people that effectively dropped out of school at 12 years old to join a football academy?

is a good man when all is said and done and the Foul votes are cast
You all make fair points of criticism Ciro, but since the window is still open, perhaps it's a bit too early to draw conclusions already?
Thanks, Stanley. I agree and I´ll give the benefit of the doubt until the end of the window. But there are bad signs.
For example, do you think we are signing two FB´s until the end of the window? I don´t. I think we are signing one - nobody knows who -, and I think we are going to the season with Gedson, Tanganga and Cirkin as FB´s options. That´s not a "much more balanced squad" at all.

Must have bit Bartomeu himself because old Barto said that he was unsellable last week.
Actually not sure why you’re on a yellow?
Nothing to do with me
