Not familiar? It’s quite a common thing in football
Try it some time
If another club of our size and wealth had managed just one league Cup in 21 years , and 0 trophies in 13, I doubt they would have a hysterical mob screaming and shouting their defence of the owners at every turn, either?Oh I don’t doubt that, it’s the arm waving and screaming that’s odd. I’ve often wondered if forums for other clubs are the same
Yeah I hear it all the time especially when England are playing “show some passion”.
The last line is succinct which is my point, if you’re looking for balanced debate don’t come on here!If another club of our size had managed just one league Cup in 21 years , and 0 trophies in 13, I doubt they would have a hysterical mob screaming and shouting their defence of the owners at every turn, either?
I mean, how can someone use still being in the FA cup, when we haven't kicked a ball yet, and claim we only got knocked out of Europe because of Covid, reasons to fend of criticism. It's is outright trolling, mate.
It's all about balance
Good callDidn’t see this posted in here:
Woolwich and Spurs 'interested in Bayer Leverkusen star Patrik Schick'
I’d love him, he’s only 26, very good up front but has the skill and pace to play on the right too, so would give us options, and is in the form of his life. Not his modus operandi but can hold the ball up and thread a pass when necessary too. Only downside is his injury history but he seems to be out of the woods on that one.
We aren't good at moving people on and buying replacements.Which right back will we sign this window?
Which right back will we sign in the summer?
Which right back will we sign this time next year?
Getting a bit silly really.
Paid £27m for Royal, if we're already "desperate" for another, we may as well move him on and sign a cheap backup to whoever the new one is.
Oh god these ideas. Theo is one of the best LB's in the World. It's like saying "we should be sneaky and sign Barella from Inter or Pellegrini from Roma". It won't happen, the fans of those clubs would kill their owners if those players are sold...
Meaningless to you , perhaps .Yeah I hear it all the time especially when England are playing “show some passion”.
It’s meaningless
It’d take him 17 of those months to get fitSo, if we had the chance to take BALE for free on an 18 month contract for 20m quid (salary), would you take it? We need something to elevate this squad into the top 4 this season so we can attract players come summer.
Our 'rebuild' is going to take some time as Conte has hinted. Our best players (Son, Kane) are old and on a downward trajectory, also Lloris is 35, Moura is almost 30.
All the while, people seem desperate for us to sell our young players Sessegnon (21), Alli (25), Bergjwin (25), Sanchez (25), Winks (25), Rodon (24).
Oh it bothers me a lot, it’s the hysterical ranting on the internet that puzzles me.Meaningless to you , perhaps .
Should fans just go to or watch a game & keep quiet when things aren’t going well ?
So when you watch an inept performance by Spurs it doesn’t bother you at all ?
That's the spirit, mateI didn't and don't expect us to make a bid, 50 million is probably our entire transfer. We aren't going to spend it on him.
