This seems like it’s been the obvious deal to be done for a while now but the players themselves don’t seem to want it.
Not for Prem squads, for UEFA you would need a minimum of 2 on list A and at least 1 more on list B but obviously not in it this year
Richarlison has taken 7 in his entire career and missed one in shocking fashion. Why has a CF only taken 7 penalties?
Kane scored 64 from 75
I have absolutely no time for anyone who does all that bullshit when they need to score. Kane is the consummate professional when he takes them. to miss a few out of the dozens he's taken is testament to that.
Sure it was bad when the 3 England players got racist shit for missing their pentolites. Skin colour has nothing to do with football.
But they should have been vilified for the actual penalties. They were all terrible.
That's my point, a missed penalty doesn't really say much about the overall record.
Our HG Player quota conundrum: 25-man squad maximum. 8 HG players needed for (the total allotted) 17 International player spots. U-21 players don't count towards squad limit.
HG: Forster, Austin, Tanganga, Skipp, Davies, Maddison = 6
Spence (LOANED OUT?), Sessegnon (INJ) = 2
With Spence on the roster, we currently have 7 HG Players, which means we can register 16 International players for a squad size of 23.
Lloris >>> out.
1 of Dier/Sanchez >>> out.
1 or 2 of Højbjerg, Ndombele, Lo Celso >>> out.
Reguilón >>> out.

Can't be a loan as we already have Rodon on loan there.
Another day with fuck all going on...
Devine got loaned out.
You can if there's an obligation to buy I think
IMO the real issue is an injury to a GK - if either Vicario or Forster were injured with only 2 GK's in squad, I'm not sure PL would be willing to invoke an 'emergency' gk rule.
So I'm betting Brandon Austin will be named as 3rd GK - we could name u21 GK Josh Keeley, but he's much less experienced.
I think Ange was talking about 'senior/experienced' GK's when he talked of not having more than 2 GK's in the squad list sent to PL
But also 9 players for a combined £30 million so guessing not much if any fees involved with a lot of them.
What is the point is playing there, absolutely none! Just want someone to wipe the patronising smile off his face by taking him out.
I’d be happy with 30m for the 9 we need shifted.
We have 100m from Kane in already
In terms of squad numbers we are helped out this season as Sarr and Udogie both count as u21's this season so are in addition to the squad list sent to PL.
I agree on your general point we have a shortage of HG players - atm the list of non-club HG includes Maddison, Davies, Forster, Spence and Sessegnon, so over next year or two we may 'lose' all but Maddison as it stands.
Statements like the following aren't "general opinion":
"we know that he isn't going to want to sell someone like Ndombele for under £10M (even though I think he's worth far less than that) he won't because we overpaid for him and Levy doesn't want to take a loss."
You're presented unsubstantiated theory as fact.
As sure as you are the Levy is overpricing our deadwood this summer; why is the not a single example of this amongst all the trf tattle this summer?
With the recent exit of Aurier, Sissoko, Toby, Doherty, Rose, Lamela (and prob a few that don't immediately spring to mind) that we're prepared to accept a mere nominal fees if it means clearing the deck (like we also did in when Poch took over). We've also seen us subsidise the wages of the likes of Ndombele to get them out on loan when managers have decided they didn't want them, around.
Meanwhile, for every one of our deadwood we've seen links and interest yet none of them have been said to have gone cold due to us over-pricing (maybe most notably it seems that all of them are also being offered for loan anyway)..... The problem we have is players comfy with their nice wages and EPL status and not motivated to move.... It happens at Chavs, Man U & Chavs too..... Are their owners also of the "tight cunt" reputation too?
Ok, so they won’t move.
Not an excuse to stop bringing in the players the squad needs.
Send the useless cunts to train with the u21
Would you like to fritter away 80m of that 100m Kane money on "ripping up contracts"? ......Cos that's effectively what you just proposed.

Do you actually think he means that? He’s happy to go without a striker because we haven’t been able to move on Tangana and Reguillon? FFSAnge = "Laggard"......?
2 games deep and the toxics are turning........... Vibes.

Bissouma, even Romero thinks he's like a new signing!
More like a year
Less of a stepping stone, more of a trampoline(*)!
