I’m saying that hoping we sell Ricky. Even when his not that great and loses the ball too much like the Everton away game. Cost us vital points.

Well in terms of not having really gone out and bought anyone of proven quality especially in the forward line. Ange himself said that needed upgrading but we haven’t done anything except extend timo loan.
Not really, they invested heavily last summer too
If Richy is not fit soon (and Ange saying he won't be fit for start of tour ) then chances are he's staying - nobody buys an injured player.
We don’t need to be wasting £40M on a midfielder when we have plenty already. Use the money to get ready quality improvements to starting 11.
Lankshear definitely seems to have moved ahead of both Scarlett and Veliz. Could start out as our 3rd striker and potentially move higher than that.
Well we'll be paying his wages so..
I'd say almost certainly despite only seeing him in that recent game. I've never seen a performance from Scarlett where I've been that impressed. When he's on the ball he just looks pretty darn bang average to me.
And we wrote off 80m on Ndombelly
I've always wanted him to do well as he was a great junior player and tries hard, but he's basically about the same level as Carlos Vinicius as far as I've seen.
Hearts, it was Hearts...........
And sometimes you can just tell, regardless of the competition.
Why would you "double his money"?
I have seen us play better than prime Barca in who gives a fuck friendlies in over forty years as a ST holder.
I thought Gray and Bergvall played well, DJ as well.
But let's not get carried away with two half's of football with major line up changes.
Scarlett has some ability, just doesn't look like a striker to me. Doesn't have much presence up top, doesn't seem to occupy the centre backs, not great playing with his back to goal, haven't seen much hold up play, or link up. Nor is he particularly pacey, not great movement, or looking to get in behind and play on the last line.
Maybe I could see him being a second striker. But definitely not one who leads the line on his own, not unless he completely alters his game.
More Chiefs that fucking Indians.
Did we truly need more tiers on Management?
Once upon a time, we had a single Scout, hunting around grounds, fag in the gob, with note paper and pen, that could find Dele, VDV, Bale, Modric, Romero and a dozen others.
But no, we have more fucking scouts, sons of scouts and grandchildren of scouts to find us Sess, Gill and the like.
Yeh and I'm not getting carried away with the team performance, because as you say, it was a who-gives-a-fuck friendly.
Individual performances are different though. Even in friendlies you can definitely see if a player has something about them. Their first touch, spacial awareness, passing range, decision making. Don't care if it's Barca or Hearts, they're still playing against pro footballers who are playing for their careers.

Two rivals battle for Richarlison as Tottenham hunt superb replacement; elite star to agree contract extension
Two clubs are preparing to submit big offers for Tottenham striker Richarlison, while Ange Postecoglou is eyeing a top-class replacement up front.

Richarlison love triangle.
Now we’re cooking.
Agree wholeheartedly. Arguing with a spurs mate complaining that we're not getting academy fees like Chelsea, Villa etc.
When I pointed out they're engaging in the dark arts to avoid June 30 FFP the expression and response was on of 'so what?'.
To say I was baffled we're being criticised from our own fans for not behaving in a shady manner is putting it mildly.
