Levy's new excuse is becoming familiar, its not " Sorry we tried " ... its " Sorry We cant shift out deadwood "

Some combination of Son, Richy, Kulu and Johnson really needs to deliver for us. This is only going to work if we score lots of goals, and we're only going to score lots of goals if our front 3 get the lion's share.
I’m far less worried about the front 3 than I am about the lack depth at CB to be honest.
I saw the interview with the Sky bloke who said he spoke to Ange and Ange said he really did want Johnson and described why he liked him - quick, two footed and would suit his system etc etc.
If this is the case, why the fuck did he green light the Kulusevski transfer?

State of this shit..... The manager is the only factor?????????
You can't acknowledge that Vic, VVD, Udogie, Biss, Maddison and an improving Porro don't improve our starting XI?
I agree about back-up CB, but you're completely ignoring VDV to drive home a BS narrative.
re: Attack -
Johnson
Solomon
Veliz
You may not rate any of those 3, but again we didn't do nothing. The idea that Madison does nothing to improve our attack either is bogus.
Fucking hell, mate... I had no idea you were capable of this degree of shithousing!
It’s quite amazing how long we’ve been crying out for CBs
That was really the one that screwed us.
Diaby was right there, absolutely perfect for us, and he was completely available.
Kulu had 3 goal contributions in over 2000 minutes post World Cup. An inauspicious audition for his permanent transfer. A more ruthless club would’ve cut him (like Chelsea did Felix for example) and signed a better player.
Richly misfiring! When has ever fired?
Shit window again..we needed at least 2 cbs and a striker and that was before kane was sold..
Then we blow the best part of £50m on some very average forest youngster, instead of just buying a quality cb with that money...pathetic...so we now have nobody to play at cb if romero or van de ven get injured..that should be considered negligence in my opinion....I cannot believe we paid nearly £50m for this johnson guy, are we fucking serious....

I'll take it... Problem solved.
55% of "fans" in here think the TW rated as 4/10
Sopppy cunts.
Get over yourself.

Indeed! That’s why I posted that Ange has made some curious decisions and statements. His got Johnson bco he dies rate kulu much on the right otherwise fiend £50M on him when what we really needed was a CB. Something he said himself as well but then have made no attempt to get another one. Apart from the last min desparate links.
Why?
Why for the next 4/5 years won't we continue to add good players like we have on the last couple of years?
You joker....... If all 3 of those play out well, we'll have ticked all the boxes with quality.
55 fans, not 55 % of fans.
I mean yeah, 4/10 might be a little harsh.
Way closer to the truth than the 9/10 you gave it though. I mean fuck there’s deluded and then there’s that. Almost a completely perfect window was it yeah? Could barely have been better? Stuff of dreams?
You've misinterpreted what I'm writing.
We've lost Kane who is our best player. However we've transferred in some players that improve us- but I don't think that itself compensates for losing 30 goals a season.
The reason I think our first XI is better than last season is because of Ange, as he's improved players we already had. For example, he'll take Bissouma and Sarr onto the next level.
So the manager isn't the only factor, but it is a decisive factor in why the current XI is better.
No, I said "But very worrying that we lost kane and didn't bring in strong reinforcements at CB and attack."
We already had the players you listed before we lost Kane. We had an injection of 100m from that... and practically did nothing.
Doesn't gel at all with weekly abuse he previously got, being called a "delusional" "rat" and a "snitch".
He took his loan to Italy and made the best of it and is now seeking to do the same with Lester....... Respect to the lad... He wants to PLAY.
Couldn't they have accepted a loan+obligation for PEH though?
....Or was additonal wages a current issue (outside of trf fee being deferred for a year)?
