That's subjective. There's absolutely no stats or evidence to back it up.

Richarlison scored 10 goals and missed half the season. His goals per 90 / mins per goal are in the top 5 in the league and bettered inly by the leagues most prolific players.

But your being subjective, no?

If he scored one goal and was injured for the rest of the season his stats would be sublime.

Him being out injured isn't the issue, him being out injured and then Son picks up an injury is why Ange is looking at the transfer market for a forward.

You did see how fucked we were losing two CB's last season?
 
Both Manchester teams are trying to catch Mikey Moore apparently (not surprisingly)

The same reporter from Football Insider (That great bastion of reliable and quality sports journalism), who 5 days ago reported that he was off to Dortmund. Obviously Mikey Moore is his obsession for this week for some reason, so he's trying to will something into existence.
 
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 correctly predicted that a load of gullible members would swallow their 🐂 💩 and open their wallets for ‘donations’!

😁
 
Has POK been early on anything this summer?

Seems like he wants to be more cautious and only jumping in to confirm stuff....Letting the whippersnappers stick their neck out more

He provided a list of players we were looking at before it was confirmed a week or so later by Gold (David, Toney etc).

He's definitely not been shy of shutting down ITK before though if he thinks it's junk
 
Doué feels like a total pipe dream.
Out of interest, why?

I don’t pretend to be some font of football knowledge, but I’d never heard of this kid until five days ago and now he’s a dream?

His highlights look ok. Opens his body up, quick feet, but it’s hardly astonishing.

He also looks like he weighs about five stone.

People said exactly the same thing about Gil - he was apparently the future of football.

People love overhyping young players

There is also a trend to play down the size and proud history of this club

I've seen the same with gray , I'm happy we've signed him but all this bollocks about it being a coup and "thankyou daddy ange" for convincing him to leave the mighty Leeds and join little old Tottenham in the corner

We might not always act like it but we are a massive club , signing Mbappe would be a major coup

Signing exciting but ultimately unproven young talent should not be seen as groundbreaking
