No. I'm saying Son Kane Lloris are good enough, to that we've added Romero, Perisic Bissouma, Richarlison. So now 6 of our starting 11 and the bench option is comparable or better than City/Liverpool.
All the other key pieces of the suqad/starting 11 will have to really put in well above expected performances to make us anything more than huge underdogs.
Steady on, chap!
My money don’t jiggle jiggle, it folds
Luckily the seats go back......
Just asking you to clarify….
huge underdogs for what? The PL title?
We drew both games against pool and won both against city last year.
Is Levy 6 ‘2”?Luckily the seats go back......

Yes, the title. City/Liverpool ocassionally do lose games. We happen to have just the right playstyle to beat those two teams.
Yet, over the course of a season they're incredibly consistent. They win most games at a canter, whereas we often have absolute nightmares against the likes of Burnley, Brighton, Villa, Brentford, Palace etc. Under conte that will change, but will it change enough?
With the players we have now, I don't think it will.
I don't like this argument but if you're calculating money spent as in isolating how much money you've spent in a window then why would you include add ons which are likely/unlikkely to get triggered later on down the line? So my example I made before; Everton signed Dele for free yet they could owe us £40m if he plays 90 matches (I think) but you wouldn't say that we sold Dele for £40m because we might not see that money...add ons are based on a series events which may or may not take place.
In fact the whole net spend argument is pointless because everyone knows clubs don't pay the whole transfer fee up front, nor does it take into account the wages committed or the signing on or agent fees for that matter, then there's things like bonuses and they you surely have to include how much money you recouped when that player is sold and how much wages saved, it's a nonsense really.
It's just one of those debates that fans like to get into that go round in circles which don't really grasp the true meaning of spend or player amortisation.

8/10 window for me too right now.
And if Maddison gets done that goes up to - checks calculations - 11
:contethumb:
Exactly. Who gives a fuck about an X?
That said just marking an X is a waste of time.
And assuming everyone here is a grown man (or woman) is a mistake.
Blimey

Last time we were this pro active in the transfer market was when we sold Bale.......
:contefacepalm:
I know Maddison is a horrible little scrote but minus 11 is harsh.
Elaboration is a courtesy, not a requirement.
You can agree with an opinion and offer alternative reasons for why you agree with an opinion, giving said opinion further weight.
Some opinions, particularly on here, are so outright ridiculous that no explanation as to why you disagree is necessary. Likewise, some people on here are just spoiling for a fight, whilst others will not heed a word you write to disprove their opinion, no matter how many facts you provide to disprove it or how well you argue your point.
So no, hitting an X is not necessarily lazy, it's more often done to avoid wasting time trying to explain something to the unreceptive.
There are a few on here who will engage in debate, who are receptive to their opinion being disproven and, therefore, open to re-educating themselves. Unfortunately, these people are few and far between.
Juventus in a three-horse race for Fiorentina star Milenkovic
Juventus has been linked with a move for Fiorentina defender, Nikola Milenkovic, but it will not be an easy operation to pull off.

I see that we are talking to Fiorentina about GLC......swapsies?
Is he any good?
I don't know. What I do know, which is probably irrelevant, is that they need to sell before they buy.
I hope so, and kind of agree that he might start to play his best football but....pace and lack of passing range a la Toby isn't going to materialise.
I think Dier's ceiling is an 8/10 player, which if he gets to and maintains I'll be extremely happy with. Beside a rejuvenated baller like Lenglet (maybe) and an aggressive tackle timing expert like Romero he's in the best position he'll ever be in.
Leeds about to do a... Leeds.
