Stuck at the office but hitting refresh like a mofo…
Mate, that proves the point, he signed a bunch of Japanese players as he wanted better English speakers!
He can't defend...and I've got no time for exciting those that would be excitied by such things. Many were and still are excited by Kulu because he was a name and came from Juve...this is Levy's ploy as it doesn't take any effort/competence. Just buy the names that people have heard.
The masses are asses...and their ignorance shouldn't be pandered to...it mostly ends up going wrong. Do the job, do it right and the proper outcomes will follow. Otherwise you end up with deadwood...and future deadwood replacing current deadwood...rinse and repeat.
If we had a history of xfer competence then folks would be excited about any xfer because we'd be comfortable in the fact that all new players would be decent. but we don't have that...we have a guy throwing spaghetti against the wall/listening to agents that make shit xfers easy for him. This could go all wrong now that teams have film on us...Ange's tactics will no longer be a surprise.
Does milk count?
FFS...we are fans of a football team not victims.
Mate, there's some proper victims on here. Don't be one of them.
Forget it, it's Rudy Galetti.
I know I'm ahead of my time but I mentioned Lloyd Kelly back in the summer 2020 transfer thread.
Fucking data driven approach scouting bollocks. Watching an actual game of football might be worthwhile once in a while.

Fact of the matter is that you're getting someone who is very comfortable on the ball, relatively quick, HG and young ish. But he's not the greatest defender, if you're asking him to do what VDV does which is cover and use his speed to sweep things up then he'd be an OK back up option. Don't expect him to be anything like Vertonghen or even Laporte.
We should be looking for someone better than VDV if we were ambitious, but of course we aren't.

I've never heard of him tbh.
Boehly In forever
I've never understood why people think the Summer transfer window and Levy / ENIC not somehow not intertwined.
Love them or hate them, / Him,.. Levy is the most instrumental part of it. He's the leading role. It's an unavoidable fact.
People can’t even point to a DOF anymore to deflect the criticism
Up until the last day or two many of the critical voices have actually been subdued in this thread anyway because of the constant moaning and crying
of a handful of posters.
