Those player don’t directly join the first senior unless they are generational like Vini Jr, most join Real Madrid B for a season or 2 and then loaned out to La Liga club.

Just behind Rochdale.
Jokes are supposed to be funny though.
Hopefully we let him go for free but rather than pay him off we organise a testimonial for him where he gets the gate receipts
The nuance I’d add is that Brentford andBrighton are in positions to give gambles time to develop. Since we’ve been a CL team from year 3 of Poch we haven’t so it’s harder for us to go get the next Mitoma as Mitoma wouldn’t have been the Mitoma he is today had he joined Spurs.

Suck my dick
Tapsoba is taller than VDV and just as poor at aerial duels.
It is a throw away line in the article. So probably nothing in it.
Tottenham are also admirers of the 26-year-old, while Chelsea have also maintained an interest over the past two seasons.
However, Kilman is understood to be very happy at Wolves and will not push for a move away. He is a member of Wolves’ leadership group and the prospect of him being named captain, after Neves’s exit, is a genuine possibility.
Who would go? Most ST holders can’t bothered to attend a PL game, let alone a meaningless friendly
I would
These leadership groups sound so funny to me.
I get it, there will be a few experience players who are the core of a team, It's like this all the way through from pro to amateurs but sounds so silly that one is now a member of the silly little leadership group.... Heres your badge you can join us.
Can imagine it's more journalists using it to group some individuals because If players actually walking around claiming they are part of leadership group that's so cringe and self important
I’m sure if we sold a lot of deadwood we would go somewhere near asking price fir tandopa? We don’t need to keep jasphet , Rodon, davies, dier, peri , Dav and sess. They can all do one and get what we can. Surely all these players need to go! None are starting 11 and none you’d want to come on as subs. Throw in not getting lenglet the money saved would surely allow us to go for both the 2 CBs and not Tosin.
It's like arguing with a flat earther or antivaxer. They just make shit up to keep arguing despite all the evidence.
Another great example, Carl... Factual, well researched, and well explained.
I think the underlying reason every manager fails and we keep coming up short, whoever is in the dug out, is the way the board prioritise value for money, opportunistic punts, re -sale value, and 'winning the deal' ........instead of striving to continually improving each position through the team even if it means sometimes paying over the odds to get what the manager wants and who makes an immediate impact.
Sometimes they're lucky enough to hit the jackpot. Maddison being a great example. Exactly what we need and at a price that satisfies our resale value criteria.
However, if we hadn't got him at the knockdown price his contract and his teams relegation dictated, we'd have looked at a cheaper 2nd or 3rd Choice alternative....or filled another position with less need for improvement
And therein lies the problem
They're never gonna spend big on a fee and pay the wages for a top level player. The result is the squad is clogged up with dross like Ndombele, GLC, Richarlison who cost too much in fees and are pretty much unsellable. Whilst we don't pay huge salaries, we pay more than the clubs that might actually take them off our hands so we're stuck with then.
For this reason, I'd rather we invest more intelligently than just financially. And we're not the only team to have done it. Chelsea have had Drogba and Costa succeed, but Lukaku, Morata, Torres, Shevchenko etc at the cost of hundreds of millions and they've embarrassed themselves.
My biggest issue with the ENIC era isn't that they're tight, it's that they fail to manage the squads appropriately. Players are here too long before they get replaced. A bigger club makes it extremely difficult for unwanted players to be there and if they still don't leave, they get exiled. We start the fuckers and employ a new coach to try to play them more.
I actually think there's a player there. Just not sure the PL is the best place for him. He quite often was the best player for Chelsea in his short stint.
Can you go back and add in sales to all this to show net spend. And can you also add what we won vs the teams who's signings you've criticised.
A couple of the more extreme ones on the fringe have also now started throwing disgusting 'gooner' accusations at those who criticise the board and want better players and more investment in our football team.
This once great bastion of open debate and free speech is being held to ransom by a handful of regime supporting radicals.
Really sad to see.

Yes the fees are a bit higher these days, but they're still punts on players who maybe have more in potential talent than actual, realised talent.
I even think our bigger signings are opportunity signings. Romero, Ndombele, GLC all came off the back of 1 good season at their clubs. That's us getting in before one of the big clubs does and we miss the boat. Those big clubs would wait another season to see how they maintain those levels first.
The gooner thing is utterly bizarre, isn't it?
