Ange planning for life after Kane..... Son and Rich become our strikers, Barnesy and Solly our wide forwards.
You're welcome
I literally acknowledged that it was 2 weeks old..... Perhaps have a count up again at the end of the window and see how the net pans out.........
I just posted facts; not opinon.
The way words like "ambition" get banded on here (often with a willful ignorance to context or basic fact) makes me cringe..... I'll hold myself to account for my own opinions and leave it at that.
I’m not even levy out but I completely agree.
Lenglet shouldn’t be pursued. And Dier should only stay if he refuses to leave.
He absolutely should not play
I want 2 of VDV, Tosin and Tapsoba.
I would love it if it was just a lack of spending. It’s poor recruitment, managerial picks, planning , ambition, direction, intent & vision.
Premier League - Transfer balance and five-year comparison
In dieser Statistik werden die Transferbilanzen der letzten fünf bzw. zehn Jahre der Vereine der Premier League miteinander verglichen.www.transfermarkt.us
I'll have to dig when I have more time for the 10 year record, but as an appetizer here's the 5 year net spend. We've only been outspent by Woolwich (+€20.M, 1xFA Cup) and United (+€116M, 1xLeague Cup).
I know everyone wants to blame our lack of recent success on ENIC being tight gits that won't spend. But it just doesn't jive with reality guys. It just isn't the spending. It's the shit spending and shit management and shit lack of meaningful direction as a club. All of that is, also, ENIC/Levy's fault...stop being lazy and falling back on the net spend fallacy.
I literally explained in the very first line: "TRFs correct as to a couple of weeks ago (according to TFM)"
Dip back into the figures and update them if you want,
You just need to be clever with which journalists/sources you listen to.Not everything "journalists" and "ITK's" spit out are true you know
If all of us fans could have the mindset that 95%(which is probably low) of what they are spitting out are just made up BS to get clicks, we would probably be in a healthier mental state!
Once you decipher the journalists with genuine insider knowledge from the hacks, it becomes easier to piece together what is likely a close version to the truth…
Wout faes seems like a defender our scouts would like . Especially if they attended the Liverpool game where he only scored 2 own goals. I mean it could be worse.
Tosin is my guess
Last season, according to those figures.TRFs correct as to a couple of weeks ago (according to TFM):
Arse (m/euros):
23/24 in 0 out 4.9 <<< so far
22/23 in 192.36 out 23.8
21/22 in 167.40 out 31.4
20/12 in 86 out 19.1
19/20 in 160.8 out 53.6
Total in 606.56 out 132.8
= €473.76m (net spend)
Spurs (m/euros):
23/24 in 75 out 0 <<< so far
22/23 in 177.9 out 38.75
21/22 in 95.9 out 34.62
20/12 in 110.50 out 13.3
19/20 in 150.5 out 64.5

Who was it again who kept saying that Woolwich vastly outspent us last season ?
Don't tell me that they were talking bollocks.
Or making shit up.
Not on here surely ?
https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/fc-Woolwich/alletransfers/verein/11
Still only showing..... 70 out / 20 in = 50m atm.
We've since done another... 66 out / 11 in = 55m too.

Ok, let’s use a different word to ambitious (you chose) and we can revisit at the end of the window, then ask the same question???
Bloke saw a dog licking his bollocks.
Said to owner "I wish I could do that."
Owner said "Give him a biscuit and he'll let you."
Revisit what?
What are you trying to shoehorn on me here?
Again; when I post opinion; feel free to debate it..... Until then....
Maybe Ange is thinking of using him as a sweeper...
Agreed. But we end up being so short by the end of the window that we would love Lenglet. Ideally we get better but with our owners & the thought of dier & Sanchez you end up being grateful for Lenglet for 8m on deadline day.
But really we should be saying he is ok but not good enough & we are going to get better. Same with dier. Yes let him go unless he refuses to go.
I don’t mind opportunist signings like Lenglet if we also get 2 starting quality CBs. But odds are we get 1 & Lenglet.
I’ve not seen any of those 3 play so I can’t say who would be good but if the boss wants them! I read VDV can cover at LB & is dutch so super Jan vibes! A quick clip search & The Fulham one looks athletic & is already used to the premier league so that’s always a good sign. Tapsoba looks strong & a beast at the back. I like players from the German league too.
Exactly. Or wait a year & pay mbappe much less. I’d wait. Surprised Liverpool linked with him. Way out of their budget surely.
Apparently we're looking at Osimhen, in a manner or gossip.

It's multiple factors, including poor decision making by ENIC.Premier League - Transfer balance and five-year comparison

But what not enough people will say is it's the wage bracket of our signings that is almost certainly what is holding us back, if not actually sending us backwards. And I strongly believe this is because a fee isn't as much of a liability as wages are. You can theoretically sell a player and write off their remaining wages.
