City have Foden, Haaland, Doku, Grealish, KDB, and Alvarez for 3 positions
Chelsea have Mudryk, Maduke, Sterling, Jackson, Palmer and Nkunku for 3 positions
Liverpool have Jota, Nunez, Salah, Jota, Gakpo and Elliot for 3 positions
Man united have Hojlund, Garnacho, Anthony, Rashford and Fernades for 3 positions

The only team that have those numbers in regards to options is Gooner scum but they are actively looking to flog, Smith Rowe, Nketiah and Reiss Nelson who are all not realistic options to start anyway.

It simply doesn't happen but go ahead and wish away.

City have Bernardo Silva as well.

Silva, Foden, Grealish, KDB, Haaland, Alvarez, Doku, Bobb.

8 players for 4 positions.

They have 2 quality players per position. Even if a player left to get minutes because we signed 2 quality forwards, I’m cool with that. We need much better players in our forward line.

If you are asking if I believe we WILL sign 2 more quality forwards, I’ve said since the Werner signing that I don’t believe Levy will sign off on 2 more. Don’t mean I think he shouldn’t

What psychological analysis you ask:

"But same way a squad can only have one character like that who openly only gives a fuck about themselves"

If I remember correctly, BAE was a really good player for us, must have been difficult for him as he must have only given a fuck about himself and not his teammates, his craft etc.

You were waffling, yet again, like you have some knowledge about what a player is like as a person and more pertinently as a professional based on some quotes.

Are you the same person that was demanding to know how many matches another poster had watched of Doue in order to ridicule their opinion and yet here you are, hypocritically passing judgement on a player you know fuck all about personally.

Didn’t read half of that.

I liked BAE as a character and as a player. Same for Olise.

As usual I have no idea what your point is and I don’t think you do either.
 
Looks like Royal (finally) on way out- ✅
Reguilon needs to go
Lo celso and Gil need to go
Richarlison needs to go
PEH- If right money comes and right replacement (Ederson/Fofana)

Left Centre back that can play left back (or sign both)- Hincaipe and Tyreck Mitchell
Inverted Right Winger- Desire Doure/Eze- swap Lo celso plus cash
Inverted Left Winger- Not Neto- too injury prone- Johan Bakayoko/Whitaker
Atalantas Ederson or Fofana if PEH goes
Strikers are a premium- need 2 of them if we want to really replace Kane (and my below suggestion- Jonathan David/Max Beier/Gimenez) or else pay the money for Oshimen and 1 other in that last.

I am going to end on something really controversial and will get stick for. If the above worked out and Saudi came in with 80 mill plus, then Son to go as well. Expecting a backlash on this one. Sorry 😬

By the time you're about to kick, the keeper is not looking at your eyes. He'll be looking at body language, standing foot angle, leg swing etc. But I don't want to over-analyse this, it's just not worth it.

All I'm saying is, it wasn't a great penalty, even though it's been getting a lot of 'ooh, his eyes' coverage.

He scored , it’s a good penalty in my book, his penalty record is pretty good too using this technique too

Selling 2 strikers in the same window eh? :gallashmm:

Remember that season when the media said Kane's goals were essentially worthless because we were already winning when he scored? And that because he scored an own goal in a game we lost we'd have been better off without him? 🤣

That's what this bollocks is. Yes, his goals were a bit low but the cunt averaged a goal or assist every other game. Only two players bettered that ratio, Son and the much maligned Richarlison.

There are bigger issues in the squad than Johnson. He also hit the frame of the goal four or five times last season. And put in some great balls which weren't finished because of poor quality from others.

You do you, but I think he's worth persevering with.

Better off without Harry Kane? The amazing stat of Tottenham’s season

Harry Kane has continued to impress in front of goal this season but one remarkable statistic shows that Tottenham would have more points if he hadn’t hit the net once. Find out why…

I didn't say sell him just that we should be aiming for a higher level of quality in our first XI.

what would that easy pick be?

Serious?

One is a 19 year old that could become very good but has little experience in mens football

The other is a player has a ton of mens football experience and is very good currently

I get he may be a hot prospect but we have alot of that already, so instead of stockpiling all these players thinking 'i wonder how good he could be in 3 years' I'd rather have a player that I can currently watch that I know will deliver in a position that we want to strengthen
 
Bayern could have a future of Olise, Tel and … Doué? I hope that will be the France front 3 at the next euros.

PSG have Dembélé:/Barcola/ Kolo Muani. Could add Doué as the Mbappé replacement…

Big clubs with a possible gap at LW where you play with other France internationals / aspiring France internationals. They both have a lot of pull.

We do have a beautiful project but I wonder whether the french connection will be decisive elsewhere

yes 8 players for 4 positions but 7 quality players who expect minutes for 3 positions rarely happens in world football.

We have Solomon, Werner, Son, Richy, Dejan, Johnson, Scarlett and Veliz, how many score enough goals? How many are good enough? How many are untried?
 
Are we now at the stage of the window that we're just falling for the same old bullshit as every year?

"Spurs willing to spend BIG"
"Spurs willing to buy this player AND that player"

We'll spend big.
As long as the wages are modest.
As long as the fee can be structured over the right period.
As long as there is something we can "win" at during the talks.

We'll buy more than 1 top player.
As long as at least 1 "top" player at the club leaves.
As long as anyone else leaves that doesn't get a kick anyway, but we can't have someone not in the squad.
As long as no one else can promise player 1 or player 2 more footbal.

Same shit, same caveats, every window.
And the fans all get themselves excited in July. By August everyone is angry. By September the ENICbots are trying to tell everyone else why it was an 8/10 window.
