what I do not understand is why you do not want to support a coach like conte, which has the face to ask for new players to improve the squad, and you are happy with pochettino that is nothing but a yesman and the only time they made him decide new signings he chose GLC sanchez ndombelè.
I simply don't get it

I agree with your last consideration, conte should stop crying, I hope he will be banned from press conferences

Number of reasons -
- he has no face, credibility or even agency to ask for fuck all, cause his contract is soon to run out
- in light of that, he let's us all feel how we are so much beneath his godly wisdom and should forever be greatful for having such mastermind at helm
- he got new players and performances fell off cliff; he already has failed in making new additions useful
- under him we just don't fall short, but we play shit football as well and have lost everything that even reminds of team spirit
- his treatment of young players is utterly embarrassing and bipolar; he seems to take pleasure at that too, throwing young player under the bus

Do you need more?

What regards Poch - I agree with you. During his tenure our recruitment and scouting was shocking shit. He should have no say in that and Paratici should remain as DoF + we should invest into our scouting network as well.

Also Poch as been taken down a notch. Rather quick sacking from PSG and lack of any brilliant opportunities have had to make him realize that building something long-term with club like Spurs is his best chance.

what did they get the ban for that never stuck with them? i mean using fake companies to pump money into the club hahahah surely they cant get away with that.

it was obvious it was dodgy but youd think they would be a little smarter than that

The problem you have is that the offending party is a country rather than a commercial entity.

It’s reasonably easy to establish shenanigans where a private corporation that owns a football club is funding another private corporation with a view to pumping extra funds into the club.

But Abu Dhabi can just set up these ridiculous entities and vouch for their credibility. It’s beyond silly.

it would be easily fixable signing the 1 year option of his contract

nobody has built gold statues of him, he is judged based on the results, like all the others

it seems like it’s okay to call a coach not because he’s happy with us, but because we’re his best option. sad.

If we got Porro and Zaniolo would people be happy with that?

Personally I think we need a centreback in during this window too.

No

Porro I like what I’ve seen and looks like would be a massive improvement on what we have in that positon

Zaniolo I’ve watched enough times now to know the guy ain’t that good, he’s def not displacing Kulu in that position and his injury record is a concern

I would be looking at getting a LW and a CB in as well if we’re actually serious about doing anything this season

Yeah the fact we aren’t linked to any centre backs is very concerning. Dier isnt good enough.
 
Lol Woolwich made a bid for Trossard this morning and already have their man confirmed.

We identified Porro as our main target for rwb from the start of the window and still making our same bullshit part exchange with a cast off offers. Sporting have made it clear they want the release clause which isn’t even unreasonable, just fucking pay it and get it done with.

BUY SOMEONE.

Just buy good players ffs. Whether that is for Conte or the next guy.

Get rid of shit players and buy some good ones. Football is a very simple game.

Not when you have a bean counter bellend jabbing his skinny fingers into his calculator, trying to eek every last penny of perceived value (whilst the entire stadium is on fire in the background and another season lurches to a write off)

Im amazed the two Italians haven’t come to blows with Levy over this…. Assuming it’s true. Is the little cunt hiding in Bermuda with his greedy grandad?
 
Chelsea just heading out and banging 40m on the table for Madueke. Not that I think we should be signing Madueke, or spending as much as Chelsea have done. But it's mad that we can't just decide on one or two kinds of player we need in the side and go out and get the bloody thing done before Jan 10th.

When we buy Porro on January 31 for within a cunthair of his release clause with our season already crippled it's going to be more enraging than every deal we've failed to make combined.

You're never going to have more proof that this will never work than that, I don't care if Porro becomes Dani Alves.
