Whilst I don’t disagree with much of that it sounds like a paid ENIC piece rather than some objective journalism
I don’t hate Benfica fans just because. I hate most of them because they are overrated cheating merchants mate. Nothing personal kidBut what if he played for Benfica?
Thing is though, merely not selling him does not resolve the situation. We either need a big return in exchange for Ndombele, or for Ndombele to be fit and firing.
Given that Doherty is also homegrown we can open another spot for a foreign player. 10/10 move.
If it's spoon fed from the club that's even better because that would mean the deal's done.
Vidal and Barella should be enough with regards to central midfield for them.
On top of Gagliardi, Valero, Vecino, Barella and Brozovic. As well as potentially Nainggolan being back and the promising Agoume.
That's how you become and stay a 'clubwatcher'.
About ndombele, I like him and think he could be great for us. But if Jose doesn’t like or trust him to start most games we have to sell him. It’s either to be a starter or sell. Too much money on him to be a bench warmer.
He’s also a Woolwich supporter - a proper Aurier like for like replacement
Similarly I get where you're coming from.....
I think it's fair to say we needed more of an instant pay-off from last summer's window though and it's just as fair to say we didn't get it. Bit like the Magnificent 7.... Wasn't the complete howler it seemed after year 1... But we needed more immediate impact than we got and suffered as a result.
PEH & Doherty should (hopefully) bring that about even if they aren't glitzy signings.
(Be sure though, my point here isn't that we should avoid spending..... Just can't escape the irony that we're pretty crap when it comes to the bigger pricetags.)
That’s little to that imo mate. Bergkamp and Roy Keane were spurs fans as kids for instance. And even Harry player for them. They are pros. And Doherty looks a much smarter guy outside the field than Aurier
I think PEH and Doherty will make more of an instant impact for a variety of reasons that are completely unrelated to money spent or not. It's all a bit overblown one way or another in any case.
Tonali too.
Agreed..... It's about smart recruitment, not pricetag.
Sorry, I actually meant Tonali when I mentioned 'Vidal and Barella'
A lot of central midfielders and already a lot of money spent this summer.
This is Conte though. The man’s a transfer vampire, remember.
...Even if it's Emre that looks like one.
