To be frank it’s an absolute joke that there’s been zero noise on an attacking incoming after we’ve sold our best striker of the past 50 years for £100m.
Yes I know we need to shed squad numbers etc but this is not something we should just accept lying down, if there isn’t a starting XI quality attacker brought in before the end of the window then Levy has failed us completely and utterly and the window is a failure.

So you think they have no chance to adapt given a run of matches?
Ange is very specific in what he wants from his players in their positions. Seems weird he'd intentionally hurt himself and the club while forcing players into a role if he didn't think he could succeed there.
So you think the ultimate aim for the Saudis is to to somehow have their clubs infiltrate the European game somehow?
That’s not going to be easy. Football isn’t like golf. You can’t just buy 100 footballers and own the game.
The Premier League and Bundesliga need to be ready to leave and start their own competitor if that happens.
It's like three fucking clubs on the continent driving all this bullshit. Cut them out. European football can survive without Real Madrid if it has to.
Let’s unrealistic dream a little …
Osimen!!! Napoli reportedly want 150M Euro. Take the 100M quid Kane fee and throw in Richy - value 60M quid. - and you’re talking 200M Euro - Napoli should be all over it! 100M quid plus Brazil’s No 9!! Let’s get it done!
No, but I think they will push a super league as an alternative to the champions league.

That’s what? Approx €250m less ambitious than our worst rivals in the last 5 years? Despite having the same revenue or better and already having the best #9 in the world at your club, begging to be supported to win trophies?
Levy needs to leave this football club
Apart from "noise" about Orban, Eze, Vlahovic and (LOL) Lukaku, you mean?
Can you elaborate, I know very little about Orban or Ange’s striker philosophy.

Ange joined 1st July, Zaha went 24th July to Galatasary.
There was time (albeit it would have been tight) and I imagine we were talking about targets for a few weeks before Ange even joined.
As a low cost (from a fee perspective) gamble on a player that seems to fit Ange’s prototype for a wide player, surprised we appear not to have had a sniff.
The top European should be hostile to this New Kid on the Block but they're not, indeed they're really happy to do business with them.
Contrast that with the hostility towards LIV Golf from the established authorities, at least initially anyway before they were forced to conclude that it wasn't going away anytime soon and a deal had to be struck.
I'm sure the European clubs will use this threat as justification for creation of a formal ESL. They'll probably involve UEFA in it's formation (as well as throw some cash their way) whilst Saudi promise to back off in exchange of European support of their WC bid.
It's just my theory but it makes sense. Basically it's yet another way in which fotbal had been taken away from the most important people: the fans, REAL fans not this glory-hunting fucks in Africa or Asia nor North America.
Ps I think you’ve inferred from my original post that we should have bid over the last couple of years.
In fact I’m saying we should have offered him a contract for a couple of years this summer…..

Do you want noise or action ?
Solomon, Vicario, Veliz happened out of nowhere. British journalists were putting out stories that nothing was close with VdV just hours before Romano said it was going down. Most journalists were still tipping Maddison to Newcastle days before he signed with Spurs.
Let's be honest and come to terms that the media doesn't have a clue and are only guessing what our moves are going to be.
Man U: Osimhen says no.
Saudis: Osimhen says no.
Osimhen signed new deal with Napoli
Even if the deal you describe could be struck; why would Osimen refuse the kind of money those clubs would have been offering, then leave a currently succeeding project only to come here.........?
If we end the window with Dier and Sanchez as our back up CB’s and no alternative to Richarlison up front, you might as well tie one arm behind Ange’s back because that’s what you are effectively doing.
I did indeed... My bad.
Gotta assume it at least crossed our minds at some point his summer....... Previously linked player becomes available for free etc. For whatever reason, Ange can't have been keen.
Talk to me again like that and I’ll turn you into a fruit cake and we’ll all have slice.
