They’ve paid their stadium off
Bring him in. Now.
This squad is so stale it’s unreal. We can barely rotate even when we want too - our squad depth is pathetic. It’s shocking that some of these players are still here. Levy to stubborn to take a loss on selling them and look where that’s gotten us.
Levy told us stadium costs would not affect transfer spending on more than one occasion
He's been caught as a liar on more than one occasion.
Watch back his game vs Inter tonight if you get the chance. Came on and played 50 mins (30 ET) against tired legs. Looks half the player he was, to me anyway. We'd do well to avoid.
He’s better than Winks or Lo Go Slow. And probably about Pointy Shouty Pierre’s level with more goals and better set play. Problem is he will cost more than 3 shekels spread over a five year contract and Tavistock Group won’t like that
Given we want a team that can consistently be in top 4/compete for the league, only Loris Kane and Son (maybe Reg, Skipp, Romero and Dier) are good enough to be in the starting 11. The rest of our current first 11 are good enough to be squad players (bar Emerson), but should not be playing regularly in the first team - then our current 2nd team players simply aren't good enough to even be in our squad and should all go.
Emerson is more than good enough to be a squad player. He's decent defensively, it's just that he's hopeless going forward. Sometimes it makes me wonder if he's even brazillian...
son is not consistent enough to be starting every game for a top side. hes ineffective against sides that look to sit back and counter, hes far more useful against the better sides who actually want to impose themselves on us as he then has space to get in behind and run into, which is basically his main asset.
It was the right call. Rudiger was the last man back. So Rudiger and Kepa switched places. It’s was just weird looking.
Yeah it's the 25m debt service that really fucks us
Yes but the standard excuse being rolled out is its Covids fault these days.
Source? Wasn’t that Matthew Collecott?
How can it be am excuse when we lost £100m in revenue last year?
So along came Dan a renowned property dealer and developer who had made a fortune when the tide was high. Dan after several years or easy money making decided to buy a run down factory which made electrical equipment that he liked when he was a kid.
Now Dan didn't know anything about manufacturing but he knew all about property and he knew he could get finance to build the most beautiful factory in the world which would surely make the best electrical equipment.
So Dan went out and got that finance. He doubled the shop floor, he made the most beautiful canteen, even put in an amazing gym and gold plated urinal.
Everything was in place. Then Dan realised he'd forgot to buy new machinery, but surely that won't matter thought Dan, I've doubled the floor space.
The old machinery slowly went bad and the plasters he used to hold things together soon fell off. Now Dan's electrical equipment was shit and he could sell diddly. He needed to keep the buyers happy so brought in new factory managers, but they were just more sticky tape really.
Dan's big factory investment meant he had no money left on the company books, it has all been spent on the factory and while he had the world's greatest factory, it no longer produced anything but cheap crap.
Dan ran the factory into the ground and eventually sold the factory, personally pocketing a small fortune, but the company could no longer compete with the competition. Still Dan had managed to make a small fortune having spent very little of his own money - not bad eh!
Thanks Dan, thanks for all your hard work.

Or a sale. Sentiment aside how much potential is really there?
NopeRemember when we thought we were getting a £150m war chest for Conte this January?
Having a decent and versatile squad player occupying a club-trained spot for the various HGP rules is one of the great benefits of an academy.
