Love the way he points (1:34) to his teammate to get into position, natural leader!
Laughable really. Probably one of the easiest multi million deals to negotiate. The player is the player, you need to keep him happy, his agent happy and then close with the club. Hardly any complexities around scope etc. should be able to thrash out key terms for a player like this in a day
I’ve never negotiated a multi million euro deal myself .
It’s not entitled in anyway.
Its not the reality of the owners at the club, doesn’t make it entitled.
Entitled would be the owners of the club expecting a finish above 6th.
How would you describe getting upset about the possibility that your football team won’t spend 80m+ on centrebacks?
We have needed good CB’s for 3 seasons. 80m is very reasonable considering the lack of proper activity prior.
Lots of things can be reasonable in isolation but anyone with any maturity can see that there are lots of competing needs and lots of factors outside our control.
To demand two specific centrebacks come in is not realistic and is entitled.
He wasn’t getting upset.
He was explaining why he thinks we won’t get two targets.
The only person getting upset is you, telling people off for putting their thoughts across.
He's a good player and potential to be probably the best CB we've produced in recent years and hope he gets opportunities next season on the bench or in cup games but I don't think he should be 4th choice CB as I saw a couple of people suggest on twitter recently. He only just turned 18 and was just about breaking in to the u21 team towards the end of last season. Probably full season with u21s next season, maybe January loan if he's doing well and can see where he's at next year.
Not only Ange!That's the kinda never say die spirit that gives Ange a raging boner
No it isn’t entitled. We have a mess at CB created by club activity, 2 CB’s is a min, we probably need 3.
Dier, Sanchez, Rodon, Tanganga aren’t good prem defenders, their sales money can be put towards the CB’s but the 20-30m doesn’t cover the probably 80m or so we need so that’s 50-60m which isn’t to much to ask of a top level Prem team.
We are not Luton. We are a big club with a big fanbase paying the very highest level of ticket prices. Mediocrity should not be acceptable.
I’m not upset at all. I labelled the post entitled because it was to anyone with a developed sense of maturity. When grown men say it « sucks » that we can’t have both shiny objects (that we’ve likely never seen play) and that a real team would just buy both… that’s petulant.
Carry on though.
Damn- now that is some nice CB play. I don’t follow the youth much but am very excited to hear about this kid. Left sided too. Me like.
Please read and respond to what I have written, not just hash out your pre-existing views on what we need at centreback.
Teams just go out and buy two in-demand young centrebacks do they? How often does that happen. Go….
Teams don’t because mostly unlike us they don’t get into this shit situation. Woolwich would have added 2 CB’s by the time they got round to this. This is pure excuses.
He’s nowhere near his peak but I would much rather bring him in as fourth choice than stick with absolute clowns like Tang, Sanchez and Dier
Crazy but I like it. Porro will be fine in attack for us- plenty of attacking skills and great shooting.
Considering how we’ve neglected the CB position, and that we’ve just conceded 60 goals this season I really don’t see it as entitlement.
80m for two very good centre backs is quite reasonable. Nobody here is asking for two Gvardiol level players that would cost upwards of 80m each.
I’d go as far as saying people have been oddly reasonable as they’ve mostly mentioned being happy to forgo Maddison to get it done.
I think fifth choice would be fine. But I do agree that if he isn't going to be getting the game time then a loan where he gets first team football consistently is best for his development. This is why Tanganga failed to develop (Though I don't think Tanganga was ever really highly rated, just given a chance by Mourinho).
