Players are only that old because of mismanagement and Mou bringing in old guys. And we played like a bunch of old guys on Sunday.
How bereft a club we have become. It cannot be that hard to see and address the issues can it?
Just why are we so incapable?
I don't think either Winks or Ndombele can play as the most attacking mid in a 3 man midfield. Not natural for either of them. We're relying on GLC or Dele. GLC is injured, and Dele isn't performing. We're really fucked there.I read 'weeks' until Lo Celso's back. which is a problem as you say.
So we either need JM to tell Winks he needs to play as a no 8 with specific instructions to go forward (looked like he was still operating under instructions to stay back on Sunday) or tell Ndombele he puts the effort in over 90 minutes.
Can't see any other realistic options ?
Funny you should mention the ITK , got a call from a old pal today , told me we are in for a striker 100% and his name isn’t out in the press as yet, once we sign him I can confirm his name , he is just what we need and it’s not Troy Deeney!

They’re wanting £60m+ for a 28 year old, not happening.We need to go for this. Zaha can play upfront (back up for Kane), and would start for us currently at RW.
GO FOR IT LEVY.
We also have ndombele, lo celso, sissoko and Gedson but only winks counts as being shitwhy did we not pursue traore and neto. don't get me started on Neves. Neves is the midfielder we needed but got hojberg instead. so we got two winks

We should be going all out for Bale, even on loan, then a striker. Genuinely think thats all we need.
Don't want to repeat myself, but Bale is terrible now. There is no way he won't flop if he returns to the PL.They’re wanting £60m+ for a 28 year old, not happening.

And still there'll be some cooing about what a good bit of business it isSo THFC have offered Milik a contract to join on a free next summer?? What the actual fuck?? We need a striker now. Like fucking today. and a AM
Please explain to me your opinion of Bale being terrible? He’s better than all our players bar Kane.Don't want to repeat myself, but Bale is terrible now. There is no way he won't flop if he returns to the PL.
Also, my impression was that Zaha is available for around £40M? When is his contract running out?
Given that the fucking moron signs a new one EVERY SINGLE SUMMER, I'd imagine 3 or 4 years from now. Until the TW closes, then he'll sign another one, before being perplexed next summer at not getting a move, rinse and repeat...Don't want to repeat myself, but Bale is terrible now.

This is exactly what need, another flibity gibit who zips around with his head up his arse who’s being kept out of thé Leverkusen team by an even younger flibity gibit who’s already better than him.
