Sell or buy you mean..

Listen I am not excusing our lack of activity but if we had bought Trossard, It's knee jerk. With Woolwich it will be master plan.

We have an arse of a manager who is like the Grand Old Duke of York and we are in a pickle.

But its the let's spend 500 million and then more brigade who make me laugh. Absolute jokers.

Shock horror with the posters who agreed with this .. we'd have to get relegated for you lot to turn, and even then there would be excuses.

Pathetic.

What are you rambling on about?

I have no affiliation to anyone but I am balanced. When I call it wrong I will say so.

I thought our summer's work was good and was more than content, only thinking we needed to get a player in if Conte was not going to use Gil.

What I did not expect and neither am I as smart as you and the merry band of spenders who could have foreseen how poor the following have been:

Conte

Lloris

Son

Bissouma

Richarlison

Add to these 4, injuries to Kulusevski and Bentancur and I think you can see that in theory our squad is good enough but you cannot (unless we are as able to foresee as you) sone sound reasons for our relative paucity.

But on 15 million pounds a year you expect a manager to do a damn sight better, regardless of his merry band of apologists.

I agree with the post AND I'm also complaining about our lack of activity in this thread...... Suddenly nuance is too tricky for you?


Your transition into a John Thomas troll clone is nearly complete. "Shock horror....."

You're not balanced, you are an apologist, nothing more and nothing less. Blaming another coach to try and deflect blame from Levy. Conte overachieved for a brief period, he's a boring manager but not an incompetent one. The squad is dreadful & is deservedly losing to any decent team now Son/Lloris have fallen off a cliff.
 
What’s giving me hope is that if Zaniolo really was our main target, we would have bought him three weeks ago. We wouldn’t be in a tussle with Spam.
That would be too tragic, even for us.

Now, my hope is that the club is entirely focussed on some sort of sale and, in two weeks, having done nothing in the window, we will get an update about QSI investment. The club will reset. The entire mood will change and we will look to the future.

Of course, knowing ENIC, there is a healthy chance that we really are plumbing new depths of incompetence, but all we can do is hope.

Come on Raum, you know better than this.

Conte’s heart and mind have been elsewhere for a good few months. He’s not the sole reason why we’re gash, but he’s certainly not helping the situation.

I’ve had jack of Levy and co, but they’re not to blame for the pitiful onfield display, the constant defensive subs when we’re chasing a goal, or some players never getting dropped while others seemingly not getting a minute.

Now this joke of a transfer window, yes that is all down to Levy and the board.
 
If it's that bad on here at present it must be absolute edge of a skyscraper stuff at other clubs.

We need to do business but it's not as though anyone else, apart from city bags are plundering the money.

Zero to minimal perspective from the usual crowd and even 8f we bought quality it would soon be not good enough or not quite spent enough.

It's never the manager's incompetence unless it suits the argument.

Thanks for your patronising dribble, but we have about 40+ transfer windows of pErSpEcTiVe
 


Its a definate maybe.

Conte's checked out, sure. But there's a good reason for that. Any coach working under these same conditions will likely face the same issue a year or less down the line, unless they have the patience of an absolute saint.

Lloris is chucking it in his own net and the alternative is Forster though, and Son is done. Two of our most important players. We just don't have the strength to deal with that. He probably should've dropped Son sooner ( I see the logic in trying to play him in to form as without him & Kane firing we are mediocre as hell) but meh.

Crap keeper, one cb worth a damn, crap wing backs, one midfielder playing to a reasonable standard. I don't like Conte/his style of play & yes he's made some poor decisions but I'm not placing the overarching blame on him, we might have a bounce if we sacked him but we'll be right back here soon enough.
