lotta plastic on that table
Let's assume we do buy another starting CB in the summer..... Rodon is already further down the pecking order than Japh.
With squad (rather than 1st XI) in mind I think it's fairly safe to predict that development (loan/coaching) will take priority over selling him..... Esp. given his age and HG status.
A lot more bottle on that table than the pitch last night!
A bunch of peeps have been banging on about Traore for ages now....... Some even before Nuno and the whole Wolves connection.
Well done ,Sir!
I'd say 15M a year helps........
but agreed, he does look frustrated.
it'd be nice to see a few solid links to a CM and Forward.
I'm not gonna lose my mind about Villa and Newcastle signing players we're not interested in.
it's about us, we certainly do need 3 in this month. I accept it's tough in Jan, Top targets like Pau Torres etc can't happen till the summer. but if we need to push the boat out by an extra 5M say to get Kessie or whoever, we need to do it now.
Levy surely gets though? he's not stupid. it's in his benefit for us to do well and make the CL.
if we get top 4 the extra cash spent now is paid for.
I snapped a picture of the groundsmen at HT, they were getting stuck in more than our fucking pussy players in the first half.Well done ,Sir!
Mate just sent a WhatsApp message
Daniel Levy, worse Bond villain ever!!
Dr No trophies...
Funny but technically incorrect - Levy is more akin to Blofeld than Dr No. Common misconception thanks to Dr Evil
I'd say Levy is basically Dr Evil but more of a prick.
Should change the thread title to that
You're the kind of person to ruin jokes by asking for them to be explained.
Rude
You can make a case that Romero is the first decent signing since Moura ... every signing in the 4 years in between has been either a disappointment or a total failure.
Moura has often been disappointing, too. Upped his game 20% since Conte arrived.
Been one of, if not our best player this season...
Right call, stupid rule in my opinion.
We could be, but we're tied up with the 'agreements' between the big agents and the deals Paratici has made. There's clearly a lot of lock-in once you're dealing with Mendes. I'd love to know what percentage of available players we could actually obtain at any given moment.
They all amount to more than Scarlett. Keep in consideration that all the strikers should be compared to the standing of their own club, not to ours. So lets go, for Ligue 1 as example:
PSG: Mbappe, Icardi (both of very high experience)
Nice: Gouiri, Dolberg, Delort, Guessand (Guessand is youth, but still with more game time than Scarlett)
Marseille: Milik, Dieng (we know the first one, dont we? - Dieng 21 yo has 4 in 14 games)
Rennes: Laborde, Guirassy, Tchaouna, Abline, Güclü (Guirassy is back up, 15m transfer - last three are youth)
Montpellier: Germain, Gioacchini, Makouana, Guermouche (Germain is well known, Gioacchini 21 yo US national player and 600 min league experience this season - last two are youth)
Lens: Kalimuendo, Ganago, Sotoca, Jean, Balde (last one youth, others a good mix of experience)
Monaco: Ben Yedder, Volland, Boadu, Isidor (three decent players, last one youth)
Strassburg: Ajorque, Diallo, Gameiro, Mothiba, Waris (some known names, we wanted to get this Diallo I believe last summer)
Nantes: Kolo Muani, Coulibaly, Augustin (also well known, Augustin fell off hard after the Leeds transfer)
Lille: David, Weah, Yilmaz, Bica (last one is youth, others high profile)
Lyon: Dembele, Slimani + converted Toko Ekambi (both are well known, Slimani was at Leicester)
Angers: Ali-Cho, Bahoken (Ali-Cho is just 17, but a regular, came from Evertons youth, Bahoken has more experience)
Brest: Mounie, Cardona, Le Douaron, Badji, Said (more than enough players)
Reims: Toure, Ekitike, Hornby, Koffi, Donis (more than enough players, low quality however, but they are also 14th placed)
Clermont: Bayo, Hamel, Tell (Tell is unexperienced)
Troyes: Touzghar, Suk, Chadli (Touzghar is a starter, Suk played in Portugal and Netherlands)
Bordeaux: Hwang, Niang, Maja, Mara, Briand (good depth)
Lorient: Moffi, Grbic, Soumano (Grbic was loaned out as Soumano is young and promising)
Metz: Niane, de Preville, Joseph (Joseph is youth)
St Etienne: Khazri, Ramirez, Krasso, Hamouma (a few known names)
Its similar in the other 4 leagues.
All players from this list have more experience than Scarlett.
Its not just us, how refreshing, so we also have West Ham.
But lets have a look at the 19/20 season. The back-up was Troy Parrott.
And the same goes for the 15/16 season. Seemingly, NJie was the back-up. We just had potent goalscorers in Dele and Eriksen.
Its the third season in seven seasons that we dont have another centre forward if Kane gets injured.

what's happening with Traore?
Its clear that Conte has made a fantastic impact in his sort time at the club. If Levy fails to back him and he walks, it'll be the last straw for me.
