Absolute nonsense!
Madison is quality
This is why we fell from grace, the attitude that 11 players were un-droppable. No one should ever feel like that. One of the famous old Liverpool coaches, Shankley or Paisley, used to tell his squad he was going to sell a few of them every now and then because he wanted to improve the squad. He didn't say who and wasn't always actually going to do it, but it kept them on their toes.
We should always be looking at the best talent and if we can bring them in, fuck the first 11. Either they up their game to keep the new guy on the bench, or they find themselves on it.
Note, Eriksen went down the shitter and then so did Dele. We signed Moura a wide forward, he barely chips in.
Sissoko had been playing well for France. People use the same logic to support GLC.
I wasn't joking. Blokes a fucking cretin taking our money and giving US little in return.
People should stop focussing on the fees we spend. A transfer is a package that inlcudes wages, bonus', add ons and agent fees.
Going back to Sissoko, I always felt he was the booby prize instead of Kante.
They both cost £30m so it looks like we didn't cheap out. But I bet he earned half as much over 4-5 years and I bet Newcastle were happy with installments rather than a lump sum.

Aside from missing an in excusable amount of games, I actually have no idea what he even is as a footballer?
He’s embarrassingly one-footed and his left is by no means a “wand”. He doesn’t have much invention to his game and nor does he have decent delivery into the box. Yet he’s meant to be a #10?
I actually think he’s just a shit Lucas Moura marketed as a David Silva ‘type’. Reasonably quick, decent dribbler, but runs into traffic a lot. Sounds about right.

What makes you say he has the potential to become ‘top notch’?
What does he do? Scampers about on the right and plays a few triangles. Has one out ball where he hits it long, to the left.
Never really pushes into the box. Hardly ever scores. Is more one footed than Lamela.
If he was English he’d get absolute pelters. He is pointless.
Spain is a weak league from 4th/5th down and Argentina, like England, probably play more weak and pathetic teams than good ones.
There's a reason GLC hasn't looked good for us but them - the premier league is competitive.
Well, I am not the only one who said so (that he could become a top-notch player). I have posted quotes about him here before.
He was one of the best CM in La Liga in 2018-19. And even though the EPL is "better" and more competitive right now there isn't that much of a difference between the 2 leagues as many British people seem to believe.
EPL, btw, is getting as predictable as La Liga - the top 3 teams will be Man. City, Liverpool and Chelski (not necessarily in that order).
However, my point was to sell him and not to keep him. Some players simply aren't made for the EPL.

Even though Aurier was that disastrous, I actually don't consider him as the same category as Lo Celso, NDombele or Jack Clarke. Especially for Lo Celso, who has given us a huge impression of taking a free ride on us to just play for his national team.
TN, GLC, Sess & Clarke alone was 140m.
Serge fan or not, he was nowhere near the same degree of dud-ness.
Sess still has a chance. What frustrates me most is both Lo Celso and Ndombele have the talent to be top draw players and solve our midfield issues but because of attitude and professionalism don’t.
Ndombele just does what he wants and Lo Celso saves his fitness and performances for Argentina.
He only seems to get his arse in gear when he plays for the national team
The only brace he'll get is pheasants, after the game's called off and he pops down Panshanger for a quick shoot.
I’d absolutely love him to get a brace. To turn into a marauding 10 that demands the ball and is running our attack.
I just think it’s far more likely we’ll see him tidy his hair and do that shirt pull thing.
Too slow on the ball, incredibly soft shot, always injured, not creative enough, dont waste anymore time on him.
Ignoring his injury problems (for us)when he actually does get some minutes in he at least tries a bit and he's not that bad.
I won't shed a tear when he leaves but I think if we play any games at all this month he could be useful.
He won't want to risk playing this close to the next international friendlies.
I say that not knowing when they are but still stand by what I said.

Transfer News: Tottenham star Giovani Lo Celso on Real Betis radar
Tottenham Hotspur playmaker Giovani Lo Celso has been linked with a return to Real Betis in the January transfer window.

I see he emerged as a sub on Sunday, so he's not totally hiding from his day job as a Spurs player. Won't be sad to see us get some of our money back.
