Its happening because Hitchen and Levy were horrible judges of talent and bought shit ass players that no one else wanted.

I think you are totally amazing
The irony being that Utd. bought him (for half the money) when they themselves threw the towel in on buying Reg.
Lazy synopsis.
See above... United themselves wanted Reg.
A large % of peeps here had boners for Reg before we signed him too.
It’s not a question of liking him but most of us think that he hasn’t been given a fair chance but down to Conte at the end of the day
Still remember that saga. It was us v United for Reguilon, and the one who missed out would get Telles. We got Reguilon simply because we accepted the buy-back clause when United didn't. Looking back at it, both United and us got fucked on those deals.
Agreed conte does rate him or want him
We bought overated, average players when the market was high and now cant sell abroad, even at a loss, because the sort of level of clubs that would be interested in these players like Sevilla, Villareal, Fiorentina, Napoli etc have no money.
I can only imagine Telles is being let go for significantly cheaper. I'm no Reguilon 'fan' but he's got more to his game than Telles who is simply a set piece merchant with no pace or ability to defend at all. Reguilon has shown flashes here at least, and was by all reports excellent in Spain whereas Telles was only proven in Portugal.
Fair enough. If we can’t sell Reguillon though I think he should be used ahead of Sess. He’s simply a better player.
I'd rather him than Torres.It's safe to say that Spurs have scouted 100's of players just last season who they haven't bid for
He's quicker, but what else?
Quicker. Can cover back better. Better cross on him (not great but certainly better than Sess who’s delivery is horrendous.)
What do you see Sess stronger at than Reguillon?
We wont be able to register him, certainly not in Europe. We're currently 4 foreign trained players over.
He's not better than Sessingnon better at some aspects woeful in others. They are bang average mirror images. To this end Sessingnon being HG gives him the edge.
(I'm not coming at this from a Sess 'fan' point of view......)
- Sess has put a few good defensive shifts in against the big sides.
- Gets his head up more, links up better with those around him and smarter with the ball.
- Reckon Conte prefers his less eratic nature over Reg.
It's mostly a combination of all. Conte most likely thinks that Sessegnon and Reguilon don't have much between them, but Sess is HG, on lower wages, and younger than Reguilon, which makes keeping him much easier than keeping Reguilon. The fact that we got Perisic meant that there was room for only one of them, so Conte and the club chose Sess.
We should just take the hit and sell for what we can get. He's just a drain on resources and nobody is ever going to pay anywhere near what he cost. It was just an unfortunate mistake. Get a few mil back and move on.
United hasn't been a beacon of transfer success in the last 4 or 5 seasons...
Not the point......
He had mad hype.... Shining star of Sevilla's EL win... La Liga LB of the year etc.
The fact is most people here were all frothy about Reg being a "must have"..... Now; true to form, they're trying to wahs their hands of the fact.
