WE SHOULDN'T BE SIGNING ANY FUCKING SUBS

You only sign back ups and subs when you are happy with your level and want to consolidate. If you want to go up a level, you sign players to compete for starting roles now or young players that could compete for them in the future.

Why is that so hard to grasp?
Spot on man. I am sick of this shit being narrated for years. We’re not even in a position where we have players who’ve sealed a position as their own.Everyone can be replaced with better players, even Son. You get a back up by signing a better player to improve on the one you have in your starting 11 right now, not by signing a shit, cheap player to keep the bench warm just in case.
 
Doesn't mean he won't either.

I'll agree that their team was worse than ours, but then our team has 7 starters that either weren't used by the previous manager, or are brand new signings. Many of which were slaughtered as being "cheap options"


In place of Arteta, let's use Klopp. He joined the dippers in 2015, and won nothing until 2019 against us. 4 years to win a trophy, 5 years to win a title.

Klopp had vastly more top league experience that both AP and Lego, and it still took him 4 seasons to get the balance right.

The core point has already been raised on here. It takes time to build to a team that can challenge for the title, regardless of your experience, unless you have the wealth of a nation backing you.

Time and patience.

If it were just about money Man U would be challenging for the title every year.
 
For that price he is well worth the gamble.

6 ft 5, moves like Gareth Bale. Ended the season strong being involved in 13 goals in his last 11 starts. He's exactly what scum need. I hope someone comes in an steals him tbh

Would have loved him here.

If Arse buy Onana who they are linked with we will know they are trying to win the league by having a team of giants.
 
Tbh levy would have preferred CL cos of the cash injection. But we would be an also ran in that. Europa we have a much better chance of winning that despite the peanuts money compared to CL. We still have stadium to pay for. We need to let richarlison know hes surplus to requirement as can get big dollar for him to boost transfer budget.
 
So buying a very raw player for a fee would could clearly afford is a slight on us how? Not sure I follow? I know you want him but I'm not sure if us not buying every player you want is indicative of anything


I’m not really that hot in Sesko. He’s a prospect but in think his first season will be hype for moments but the UTD striker Hojlund is probably a more advanced player.

I’d have loved Openda but he’s the same club so they probably don’t sell both. Especially if they have loaned out Werner.

My point is that I’m expecting Richy staying to be the excuse for not investing hard into our frontline. Meanwhile our rivals are making no such excuse.
