Hopefully this is true, although I don't know why Simeone would want someone who can't kick the ball with any power.

Hopefully this is true, although I don't know why Simeone would want someone who can't kick the ball with any power.
....And they've been trying to get him off the payroll ever since.
nearly halfway through the window and I’ve been super excited by all of the signings...
Right, that’s exactly what I’m saying.
When Salah exploded they saw they were on the precipice of club-changing success of the kind they’d previously achieved with the Red Sox. And so they made moves they wouldn’t have made before and might not make now because the iron was hot and that changed the calculation.
(Now, you may fairly observe that our iron is currently in a vat of liquid fucking nitrogen and that’s true. We’re looking over a different sort of BUSINESS, FINANCIAL precipice though.)
Being linked with Traore and Lingard has made me grateful if we don't sign anyone so there's always that
Fuck that shit Go Cubs
(Fenway Park itself is an amazingly cool place though if any of you find yourself in Boston during the season)
As well as the team getting more shit. I'm sure the idea was to flog the naming rights when the team was in a position of strength. But they've fucked the recruitment up so badly it might never be corrected and now Levy won't accept any lesser offers. So we're like an expensive car nobody wants to buy.
similar? hmmmm about you just sign him.
Why don't we just sign the guy that we want to find a player like?
Signing those 2 is akin to signing nobody because give it a year and we'll be clamouring to offload them and wondering why we bought them.
If we had won the Champs league the other year,he probably would have got what he wanted.But he is forever chasing that now.
Lol in other words, we want the cheap knock off version of Bissouma
I wonder why we lost so many top footballing guys to Liverpool just before they started to do really well in Michael Edwards (who was their Sporting Director after 5 years or so and is stepping down soon) and Alex Inglethorpe who I have only ever heard tremendous things about.
100% true. The objective has always seemed to be to finish in the top 4 and therefore get into the CL.
I would bet they have concluded the following:
Profits generated by having a net spend just enough to get into the CL
>
Profits generated by having enough net spend to really compete for titles and the top trophies (read: CL)
The problem with that strategy is that aiming for 4th place (who the fuck with any pride does that) gives you very very little margin for error. We have seen that play out before our eyes.
The spurs way
But much much cheaper and not the finished product
No idea about the Red Sox (baseball?); but we're largely back to talking about what they did with the Coutinho money. There's been no massive cash injection.
I mean this with no ill, but dial down the fluffyness a little mate... You're losing me at points.
Unknown player with lots of potential from France incoming.
Like him or not, GLC is a gritty player. He will fit in well at ATM
They're not wrong about being able to draw the crowd though. Football supporters, sports fans in general, are prisoners of their own making. We're the only people actually loyal to the club.
We'll moan, we'll make banners, tens of people will protest outside the stadium, we'll rant on internet forums and Twitter.
Then they'll roll a ball out on the pitch and we'll get stuck in again. And when we die, someone else will be stuck in our place.
Lambs to the slaughter.
