When are we hijacking McKennie?
Yeah I am not knocking bargains. Just that when all you do is bargains you end up in the situation we are in. A huge mess! Whilst watching our rivals go for the title.
You need a good quality higher fee signings too if you want to succeed. You don’t win stuff on bargains sadly.
But to put the debate to bed, look at what our transfer policy you are supporting has lead to.
Ps. It was sexual assault he was cleared of so I guess we will never really know. I think it was more because he only had a year on his contract as clubs don’t really care about moral stuff.
A loan counts as fulfilling our transfer quota when first loaned, then again when we finally take the buy optionBecause we still need to pay for Romero
But we wasted a lot of money on Ndombele and GLC.
All reports suggest it's sporting ffing around so they have player for cup final.
Yeah which shows how bad levy is. Most of the time he doesn’t spend enough. & when he does he gets it so wrong. Which is why we need him out. He has done an awful job on the transfer side. Look at how bad our team is! Not sure why you or others want him to continue being in charge.
Maddison would be the dream.
He started today against Walsall so unlikely there is anything cooking.
However this amused me on the Sky live updates:
17 mins James Maddison (Leicester City) is shown the yellow card.
16 mins Delay in match because of an injury to James Maddison (Leicester City).
You can add Sanchez, Sessegnon and Regiulon to this and you have £200m of fucked transfer budget. All of which appear unsellable.
Compounding factor as to why we are doubly fucked with recruitment. The players we spent big money on just a few years back need replacing themselves, on top of the tosh that's still here.
Romero counts as a signing every windowA loan counts as fulfilling our transfer quota when first loaned, then again when we finally take the buy option
And always will
If we couldnt sell that lot last summer i'm not sure what makes you think we will now. Rodon seems to have done ok on loan and we might get a fee, we might get something back on Gil the rest i can see us having to loan for the remainder of their contracts.
I am not bullish about selling any of them but if the price is right everything sells.
But quite a lot of fans seem to think we have't spent enough, the truth is we have but not spent wisely, it's better now that Paratici is here. Not sure what's happening with Porro though.
Woolwich got a lot of money off their payroll ridding themselves of Lacca, Boomerang and Dot Cotton so they have saved a least a million a week on those players alone.
How's Chelsea's "fix" working for them?
Liverpool spend wisely whereas we just waste money on the likes of 62 million on N'Dombele?
Mentioning City is pointless because no team in World football can match their spending power, not United, Barca or Madrid, so a false negative example.
Bournemouth offered a deal, it's up to the player? They have PL money spare, and was this a loan or permanent move?
The end of the day, we signed Kulu and Benta last January as loans that hasn't turned put bad has it? We have to pay for Romero (i think) and have another player on loan now, plus looking to finalize Porro?
Throwing away money for players is all well and good, but how many of our most expensive players who flunked have we ever got anything near what we paid for them back?
N'Dombele?
LoCelso?
Sanchez?
Aurier?
Jenssen?
Soldado?
The fucking list is endless.
But let's just go out and spunk money in a thirty day lottery window.
He had a serious injuryReg has 4 apps, a few mins every now and again for At Madrid.

It's not meant to be funny, it's there as a reminder that this particular poster is solely on here to shit stir and cause friction.
You give it a free pass because you share the same view on one aspect of the club.
There are others on here who share the same view on ENIC, but I respect their opinion because they engage and are at least open minded enough to question their own assertions and accept that there have been positives as well as negatives.
This poster does neither, just stirs the pot to get you lot excited, then sits back and enjoys the bickering and friction. That's all it is interested in.
A typical catalyst.
I don't have an issue with the negativity towards ENIC, I even share a fair bit of it, but this one uses it as a vehicle to wind everyone, including those who share the ENIC out view, up.
So I couldn't care less if you find it funny or not, but it'll keep reappearing every time it pops it's head in to stir up everyone on here as a reminder on just what its agenda is.
Yeah, they are hoovering up young talent all over the place. They are acting weird and messing up the market but you can see what their strategy is. Obviously not having a great season and Potter may or may not be right for them but its inevitable they will improve at some point sadly.Chelsea?
