🎙️| Ange Postecoglou on transfers:

“At this time of year it’s pretty hard for supporters because they don’t have all the information and it’s fair to say there’s plenty of misinformation out there.

We’re working hard to bring players in and it’s a process that you sometimes have to be patient with. But in terms of what we set out to do, that’s still the plan and you have to stay disciplined with that. Sometimes the timings don’t work out and it doesn’t happen as quickly as you want and you don’t get them (players) in at the right time but I thnk it’s really important you stay disciplined and not run off and chase other things. So, what we started with at the start of summer are still there, and I wouldn’t want to put timelines on it.

A lot of that is out of our control and we just need to be patient. From where I sit at the moment we’re still in that phase where what we identified is still what we’re after.”
 
Sounds like Ange and the whole club are all pulling in the same direction, simply waiting on things out of their control.

This is great news.

Like a new signing.

Looking forward to hearing this all in spoken audio on YouTube soon!

Seems to check out with what the likes of POK have said when it comes to other teams getting their business done before giving us the greenlight.

Ultimately, it would have been great to get business done by now but surely it's better to get your main and top targets in, even if it does mean a little later.
 


I ventured into that hell hole of a website so others didnt have to...

How to say you're in for Eze without saying you're in for Eze.
 
Chiesa's highest goal tally in a league season is 9.

He's a good player but he's not exactly a prolific scorer.

Chiesa's best goalscoring tally in all comps is 14.

I don't think we should base a players goalscoring tally on previous clubs and their style though. It always tough.

As an example, Salah never managed any more than 19 goals in all comps before joining Liverpool, which he managed just once.

Goes to Liverpool, completely different coach, different set up and surroundings and his goalscoring seasons go up a level:

44
27
23
31
31
30
25

People want Neto yet he's never even managed more than 5 league goals in a season...

What we need to do is prioritise profile over output at other clubs. The right profile in this system could quite easily pop off.

I’m on mobile and I still appreciate it haha
 
This is small club mentality though, we sold Kane our All time PL goal scorer and still haven't replaced him, we shouldn't accept this mediocrity and we should absolutely be looking to sign a striker to replace Kane and who is better than who we have!
Back in 2018 when Poch said its hard to upgrade what we have, I said we could at least upgrade the bench. This has always been our problem. City have 2 x 11's that can win a title.
Our 2nd 11 can't even win a fucking throw in usually.
