In the time frame we sold each and every one of those players, we've been through 10 different managers and still failed to land a single Goddamn piece of silverware.

Clearly something isn't working with regards to our transfer practice / policy

Patience!!!! You’re always bringing this up!
You will just have to wait for as long as it takes. Daniel needs us all to be patient, please, follow the rules, otherwise Shady and the boys will be after you.

I’d say a lot of that is due to just that reason. 10 different managers with mostly very different styles of play. Combine with our underperforming scouting and you just get a recipe for disaster.

It does seem that we’re on the right track though, it needs some patience , which I can understand people aren’t keen on as they’ve given a lot of it over the years.

Same transfer thread every window, just different player names.

Levy is always a prick because of the windows we bought no-one or because signings don't happen quick enough or because a random tweet says we're hassling over £1million.

And people believe any Twitter account they fancy, even if said account has one follower.

Someone always asks for a convo to be taken to the Levy/Enic thread.

Hard to get a good CB to sign for us because they know they are just filling in until Romero and VDV return, then they are on the bench. Which player wants that scenario.

Not sure this is the profile of player we should be looking at if we are aspiring to build something special and I’m not sure Ange sees it this way either.
Whoever comes in should be confident of replacing one of our mainstays. It’s that type of competition the club needs to take that next step. We can’t have two world class players for every position but we absolutely need to ensure that existing players can never feel complacent. There’s plenty of games to go around per season and we can’t afford the huge drop off in class we’ve had at times already this year due to injuries and suspensions. Romero is always good for a suspension and injury or two per season.
Feeling “irreplaceable” isn’t healthy.

I agree with you. Should be looking to sign players as good or even better than what we have now to improve the team. Spurs seem to be looking for back up players at the moment. Cover for CB, cover for the players in the African and Asian cups. Maybe at seasons end we can look to get better players in.

VDV was bought as an exciting prospect but he’s been a baller and cemented his place. The same thing can be said of our next signing tbh. A 30m player with the right attributes, attitude and ability to get the system quickly has every possibility of becoming a starter.

I'm going to single out GLC as what a committed sub should be like. Committed when they come on, and invested in the game when on the sidelines watching. This guy has been involved on/off the pitch this season and it helps to galvanise the team, that’s part of the reason I reckon Ange rates him. I’m not his biggest fan but am changing my opinion
