Pretty poor to compare them though based on Kolo Muani playing twice as many minutes.
 
So looks like our Transfer kitty has gone on the Joe Lewis Legal Defence Fund.

Nevermind. Does this mean January's transfer budget is going to go on surprise birthday cakes with files hidden inside delivered to Joe's prison cell?
 
He was in the pre West Ham training 11v 11 match in the “first team” line up with Kane + Maddison etc meaning ange def took a liking to him in training. He was injured in this game and didn’t feature v West Ham and only returned to training a few days ago.

Until Ange bothers to select him in a squad I don’t think we can really say he’s taken a liking to him. All evidence suggests the opposite. He hasn’t given him a single minute of action or even put him on the bench.

He could easily have selected him for Leicester or the game today and he didn’t, despite saying that Scarlett was the only player who wasn’t fit.
 
Whilst the rhetoric is juvenile and moronic, there are a number of reasons fans have to be unhappy right now:-

- We just finished 8th and missed out on Europe. This is well below our stature and financial status as a club and I think we all agree is unacceptable for us.

- After a really fruitful period, we’ve only attained top 4 once in the last 4 years and have finished out of the top 6 twice

- We haven’t had a manager for a full season since 18/19, a sign of the successive poor managerial choices we’ve made since Poch left.

- Our recent recruitment record has been awful

- We’ve won 1 trophy this century. I appreciate it’s gotten harder with the influx of foreign money, but that’s not good enough for Tottenham

- Ticket prices for fans are extortionate and I read the highest in the country. That doesn’t reflect what we see on the pitch

- After such a disappointing season last year, our transfer activity (in and out) has been pretty uninspiring thus far (I appreciate there are many weeks left in the window).

- One of our greatest ever players wants to leave because the club hasn’t been able to fulfil his ambition.

- Our club has appeared to lack any real strategy for success since Poch left.

Most of the failures noted sit under the remit of Levy, and whilst some of the comments made about him are utterly cringey, so is the way you, Airfixx Airfixx and Get in! Get in! seek to dismiss every single negative, or critique to a minute level to undermine them at least.

I’ve never previously been ENIC or Levy out, and I'm still broadly comfortable with the way we run our club financially.

But surely we can all agree that Levy needs to be completely removed from all football-related decision making now? I know the new structure promotes this, but the fact everyone on the footballing side still reports to him is a concern for me.

I no longer have faith in him to make the footballing decisions needed to push our club in the right direction.
Don't forget our director of football being banned and our owner probably going to jail.........happy to help.......👍
 
German league is shit for judging attacking players because the defense are typically shit over there. Could be a world beater but could look good just because of who they are playing. So many 'great' attackers turn out not to to be in another league.
I saw some nerd do some analysis for xg differentials for players moving leagues. The biggest drop off was bundesliga to pl.

Biggest uptick was pl to la liga
