That's good to know, but possibly the wrong thread?.........

I thought I was on Mumsnet.
You're welcome even though you're a bit of a dick.
That has to be one of the worst stadium moves ever. Upton Park was the only thing that made the club memorable, they literally had nothing else going for them.
Even Levy wanted to knock down the olympic stadium and rebuilt the new stadium over it.
Maddison, Kulusevski
Bergvall, Sarr, Devine
Bentancur, Bissouma, Gray
Doesn't look too bad to me mate. Especially when compared to our godawful front line.
And if we do need improvements in midfield, the last position we need is yet another #8, fully six of those above players can play in that position. And that's assuming we move on Hojbjerg, Skipp, Lo Celso. Where does Ramsey even get a game?

Oh look. I see you…
I have more faith in the combination of Ange & Lange than you and Wikipedia to be fair.
Jacob Ramsey - Wikipedia

23yo but not a full inter. Described as an AM but 1 goal last season in only 16 games.
Not seeing this one.
You've included 2 players who only signed, our midfield was a massive issue last year and was usually imbalanced, Sarr and Bissouma do not add an awful lot in creativity and Devine won't play much IMO (maybe a loan again or some chances off the bench).
Ramsey is a better player than more than a few you've mentioned there IMO and certainly more experienced than half of them despite his injury history.
We're also swapping him for one of the biggest lemons of a signing ever who was barely ever fit or on the pitch in a Tottenham shirt if the deal materialises.
Hope you've showered.
Best to get some tests done as well. Just to be safe.
Have to say I think I'd agree. He just doesn't look technical enough to be able to break through to the first team, screams squad player. And the last thing we need is more box-to-box squad fillers.
Here is an analysis on him from a couple of years ago:
View: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xPaBkNeUqo4
He's a strong runner with the ball when he has space, with a very good finish. Good physicality too, and the creator is very positive on him. But for me when I look at these clips I don't see someone with the same level of technicality, spacial awareness, or game intelligence as guys like Bergvall or Gray. I'm not seeing someone who could turn into a Bellingham in a few years and be worth £100m, he just doesn't have the close control.
And then there's his injury record, is he even the same player now?
How TF did a toe injury keep him out 119 days?!
I guess we'll see. I'm willing to bet Gray and Bergvall will be mainstays by the end of the season, and if Devine stays he'll get plenty of minutes in Europe. And will impress.
I'm not against selling Lo Celso, it's clear Ange doesn't like him. My issue is replacing him with a player we don't really need. Just take the money and put it into the striker/winger fund.
General consensus is that they're not happy

Why do they believe it?
