If I say well known facts it will make a false equivalence that what I’m saying is the truth and everyone accepts it.
Same both ways then?
What are our other options besides coping?
Talking nasty on a forum isn't going to change anything.
Don't really see anyone trying to take real action.
Yeah look I'm not even gonna stop the melters, feel free to vent, we should have at least 1 CB in by now
You know that … you honestly know that for 70 he’d have rocked up at whl
Just ping me that memo cause I missed it
My reading between the lines … because being gracious enough to admit that’s the best I’ve got, unlike you im not privy to the actualities of these transfers
So reading between the lines … I’d heard we’d offered 65 Inter still didn’t seemed too moved by it but I think if the kid had agitated for the move .. might have been a goer
The kid looked like he a face like a smacked arse at the mere thought of leaving Italy and his precious Inter. I think it’s fair to say this was fairly strenuously communicated.
So I think we bid 65 Good sum btw. We had conte and pat all over him by all accounts …. And he still didn’t want to come !!!
But if you’re itk to 5m making everything better then please let this plebiscite in for once
Or. I’ll take it as yet more unsubstantiated sentiment and argue convincingly there isn’t ‘always is’

You want him to tell Inter ultras that he’s disappointed he couldn’t get his move to triple his salary ?
Ask yourself this, why would there be talks if he was never interested?
Or could it be that the talks didn’t satisfy what was needed for the move to happen?
There's been reports we were after Mbappé
(in support of your point)
What the fuck is he doing here then.
You cannot possibly blame that on the 'system'. He looks like an absolute clown in this. This is a trend of his. He stands off the ball and lets dribblers into space, that is his style, his MO.
Seriously. How can you watch something like this and think 'oh, no big deal, he has a good profile on paper'. Spending 30m on this and expecting THIS to transform our defense?
Yes he is prone to this. Talk to dutch football people and they consistently say that he sucks at making quick decisive actions. He stands off everything and uses his pace to recover. You know the only players who I've ever seen do that successfully? Peak Kyle Walker (who I shouldn't even need to explain why he's a 1 of 1 anomaly) and Virgil Van Dijk. VdV actually has a similar 'style' to VVD but you know why that's a bad thing? Because for Van Dijk's style to work he had to be the best-timed and most explosive/decisive tackler in Europe. He had to be absolutely perfect on timing. Add to that that he's about 3 times as agile as Van de Ven and legitimately the best aerial defender of the past decade, which is a glaring weakness of Van de Ven's, and I think you'll see where my concern stems from.
Ahaha now you're at the point when you're making up conspiracies to explain the literal transfer target saying it was his choice to stay. You're in too deep man.
Ok.
Fair enough.
I think he’d have come if we had stumped up the cash. I don’t know it would have happened. I’m nobody.
People seem to state with full confidence that it’s a fact that it was never on bc he wanted to stay. They are also nobody’s but they know
Aaaaand BINGO
lose the argument and accuse them of conspiracy theories. Get out of jail free for basics
Or Villa or Brighton
How have I lost the argument when I'm the only one providing sources, while you're only providing wild conjecture?
Just admit you were wrong and move on.
The game has changed now. Being dominant in the air for a centre back isn’t a massive thing now as teams want to pass you to death or run in behind you. Gone are the days when most teams launched it it to a big centre forward to flick on for a smaller pacier one!!That’s why VDV is a great option for us because of his pace. His recovery is incredible and he’s very good in the ball.
Fuck me mate come on
Because when there’s 65m people are always gonna talk.
Inter we’ve got 65 m. For bastoni. Sure we’ll sit down and talk
Talks doesn’t mean a desired outcome come
You also had his ex manager in these talks
What you can’t let go about the player didn’t want to move is peculiar
Strike it from your agenda
He said ‘ I don’t want to leave Inter’
The fact anyone gets paid to do TS is sad it is trash radio with the footballing geniuses of Jamie O'Hara, Darren Bent, Darren Ambrose and Gabby Agbonlahor. Also for some reason the have Simon Jordan a man who almost caused Palace to be dissolved and notorious liar on it.
The fact is the most the Transfer Window is to fill columns and websites. I like Alasdair Gold but I notice that he has a quota and he will write about anything and its dog to fill it. Same with Eccleshare and anyone who has to spend too much of their time reporting about Spurs.
This is just a joke. He may be tall but he SUCKS at tracking the ball in the air. That is comedy defending. Doesn't turn his body, doesn't track or judge the ball, just jumps lamely and falls off balance. Jesus christ. I cannot believe people think this guy is going to fix our defense.
Horrific aerial defending yet again.
The question I asked about your source, it seemed you didn’t like it so accused me of a conspiracy theory.
