Did anyone see his lack of stamina/fitness/grit/determination before we went for him?
I'm just wondering if anyone called it before we saw it. I vaguely remember some minor 'cons', but not sure what they were.
Sanches reminds me a bit of Ndombele: heaps of talent but - for whatever reason - lack the mentality to apply that talent regularly. There's a "good reason" why PSG wanted to get rid of him.
However, should he be able to change his attitude he'd be a steal at that price.
It was always turning out this way. Not sure why anyone thought they would sell him this summer. Next year when he has one year left, the competition to sign him will be fierce.
Tbf Callum Wilson is a good player when healthy
Never thought of it this way but it's blindingly obvious. Take my upvote!
and refs and VAR give an unfair penalty against Son and didnāt give a nailed on penalty against Man Utd.
we should have 3 points them 1 but weāve got 1 and theyāve got 3.
From his posting times, heās a Yank.
Called him on it and he blocked me.
He wants everyone to think heās a local, legacy supporter.
He was a completely different player in his 2 years with Lyon prior to signing with us.
I remember watching him against Barcelona and Manchester City and thinking thereās absolutely no chance weāre going to get this guy. He played their midfields off the park.
Along with Frenkie de Jong, he was THE top young midfielder in Europe that summer. There genuinely was a host of top clubs after him, including Juve and Real Madrid.
There were murmurings of a poor attitude from very early on in his career but everyone seemed to believe they were a thing of the past, including our scouts and Pochettino.
Even from very early on in pre season though you could see there we something very off. He didnāt look as strong or sharp as he did at Lyon, and he was literally blowing out of his arse after one or two sprints.
In hindsight, we probably shouldnāt have made him the joint highest player along with Kane in order to get him to sign, as it clearly made his head swell enormously.
However, I will never criticize the club for signing Ndombele. He was at the time a player in demand from the best clubs in the world and we finally acted like the big club we are, went out, put our balls on the table and got him in early doors.
The issue is, the fact that he didnāt work out seems to have burnt Levy and ENIC to the point that they are no longer willing to even consider going after a player at that level of the market again, which is ultimately going to prevent us from competing at the top end of the table.
Blimey youāre condescending to the Belgians who are not even on here
I'm confused about nothing, my friend.
Answer: No not particularly.... It's a hollow, moot observation (See bottom)
No it doesn't; because if you read what I'd written re: Dier properly to begin with it wasn't rooted in fan opinion; it was rooted in the fact that Dier appears to have been made to see sense by Ange (not the fans!) about where he sees him in the squad moving fwd..... Whereas at the beginning of the window we (the fans!) were resigned to him staying because that's what HE (Dier) wanted.
That Dier's outlook now aligns with fan opinion is neither here nor there.... Other than to say it took Ange X-amount of time to get that message across.
.....Ergo; it actually vindicates what I've been saying since the very first post: Ange's vetting process has taken X amount of time and he (not any sensible fan) wouldn't have had it any other way.
.....Of course; unless you like the idea Levy calling the shots about the squad and selling players behind the manager's back? .......Pretty sure in another moment you'd eagerly complain about such a thing happening.
If all your point is "Wah, the fans could have told Ange that" (which is all it amounts as far as your posts have shown) then great... BUT a) that's not what the convo was about and b) it's a facile, hollow point to start with......
Unless you genuinely believe Ange should have canvassed fan opinion rather than doing his own work in pre-season, then you're kinda wasting both of our time here.........
It's not flawed at all......... These are players than the fans widely wanted rid off; but now seem destined to stay.... In fact some want them to start on Saturday!
By the way you seem to have declined to name those 2019 Ā£100m EPL MFs you claimed existed earlier..... Is that cos they were a myth all along?

You could take offense on their behalf.
That seems to be a very trendy thing to do these days.
