Why do people even entertain the nonsense from these children

Have any of them actually ever called anything before it became public news?

You'd think that if you spend all summer long making up bullshit rumours you'd eventually get one right by accident , blind squirrels , broken clocks etc.

But I genuinely can't recall any one of these losers actually predicting something that wasn't completely obvious or already reported by actual journalists

They are all full of shite. We could pick 30 players each and put something out that we are interested in them over the course of the summer and we’d get one right eventually. They know as much as we do. Fuck all.
 
£40 million for an 18 year old. World's gone mad.

It has but he's got the potential to be worth 3 times that if he fulfills it...

Sadly money in football IS mad and those are now the prices clubs will have to pay to get in young English talent like Archie.

We've got next to no chance of signing them once they've reached their full potential as the likes of City / Madrid etc would be in for them.

Get them in now, develop them, and try and get our team to develop enough with them so that they don't want to leave.
 
I don’t see Eze as a gamble either mate. Just saying the way it looks like Levy thinks.
He must be our next signing. He ticks so many boxes for us. When we are playing teams who have no other other interest in sitting on the edge of their box having guys like him,Bergvall and madders on the pitch at the same time is a must. Not the likes of Skipp,Bisdouma and Hojbjerg who are not a goal threat or can play a riskier pass.

How many times last season did we just plod about going from side to side not taking any chances with passes? These guys give us a different option. Add in a top front player and our points total goes up by at least 10 points.

I found WLB to be all right usually, better than most of them.
 
Isn’t Doue supposed to be the next big thing out of France the next Mbappe or Martial (Martial was huge at the start of his career). Surely we will get beaten for him.

We definitely need that ability.

Someone who can receive under pressure and link up but also create something when defenders are sitting off.

I’m full on board with that being Eze or Williams but I’m really doubting it’s going to be either. Palace don’t need the money after selling Olise and maybe that release clause has clauses we don’t know like CL football …Williams is pie in the sky.

If they think Doue is the next best bet then I can get behind that as he seems like one of the most wanted and rated young players in Europe. Still think we need another more experienced attacker after that too but seems unlikely.
 
In Levy’s world Eze at 26/27 for 60m up front is too dear. (We did drop 40m on Maddison and might have dropped 50m the season before)

But 40m for a 19 year old with sell on might not be.

and that is why we often end up with an nkoudo, njie, stambouli, gedson, byan gills, djeds etc etc.

Levy getting that stiffy for the hopeful increased value of the younger player in a few years time rather than getting that prem ready and proven player who will propel the team in the here and now and not hopefully in 2 years time by which time the manager who bought him has usually been sacked
