How Dry should our Powder be?

It's the lack of signings and the Bald Cunt's unwillingness to pay the going rate for quality players that will see Ange lose his job by Christmas.

Rinse and repeat
Indeed or the players we are looking at don’t want to move and we haven’t adjusted targets. For example manure got zirkheeh could have gone in for him? Only 23 and would have been cheaper than solanke.
 
Ange said 3 more incoming and not to panic buy. I'm guessing one forward, one defender and one mid. That should bolster the squad quite a bit. Hopefully a couple of them are for the starting team.
 
Walking where? Back to Japan? Hardly like there are a bunch of clubs lining up for him. Let him achieve something in the Prem first before he thinks he's bigger than the club.
It's a question of whether he actually believes the bumph he comes out with. If he genuinely wants to sit at the top table in the PL, he ain't getting there with the likes of Werner and a few teenagers.

Of course, nobody really "walks" anymore. They tend to just down tools until they're pushed.
 
how come there is little activeaty from the saudi teams ?

Nobody heard of eze two years ago….
Also if we drop 60 million on a 22 year old Johnny European that none of really heard of will that satisfy us…..
I’d much rather give our youngsters a lash .
What’s the worst that happens …. We are probably going to finish in top 7 anyway…
We have a crop of youngsters who would kill for minutes . Much rather that then some dickhead who we have to convince to wear our shirt!
Aggre mostly about youngster but surely we need one or two star quality players? To me that would be eze and Neto. They go straight into first team and it would give such a lift and makes fans want to watch us play even more. They improve our quality of football in the final third immensely. I’m happy for Will to given game time as I really don’t see some of the CFs we have been linked with that much better especially for the price. Said it already we have son who could play CF in some games or play kulu v low blocks.
 
What's he gonna do? What's he suppose to do? All he can is try and do the best with what he has and use the academy

If Jose mourhino or conte are unable to get what they want why would he? I'm sure he knew well before he signed the contract what he was in for, how spurs do things is no secret.

He could go on a rant like conte but that's not gonna help apart from being funny
Maybe he should show his frustration , if he is, a bit more then and stop making stupid statements.
 
Champions league place, our number objective.
You saw how pissed he was when we lost to city, it wasn't just the crowd imo. It was the end of CL qualification
But he had a chance to get top 4 well before the city game. But his tactics cost us big time and we never showed up in a number of games. His inflexibility in tactics, defence and player selection cost us a few points. Playing royal at LB is one example.
 
I don't know mate. How the fuck would I? I'm not an ITK. If I am guessing maybe B'muff have been spending the money first like we did with Kane last summer.

We probably need to get Richy a move as well.

If we do sign a winger and a striker like Solanke it will be because Richy is off to Saudi imo.
Tbh I’d only have solanke if richi was going that way the £65M is more palatable. Otherwise way too much!
 
I don't think he's the greatest striker by any means. But out of the ones that are getable I think he be a very good signing.

I said this about him at the start of last season:


His good 23/24 season has only made me more convinced
I see you say if richi leaves. Yeah that maybe makes more sense. That would be the only way I’d have him. Unless we can unearth a hidden gem CF from somewhere else as there must be players out there. I’d rather keep the money tbh and spend it on eze and or Neto.
 
so a non footballer who can occasionally do that is worth 50m?

when your philosophy is to dominate the ball you need actual footballers to do that. johnson was ideal for conte not postecoglou, where if he doesnt get a G/A hes useless for 89:55 seconds of the game.

is brennan johnson more suited to counter attacking football or possession? answer me that.
Spot on. Give Johnson a ball to run on to with space he’s ok. Give him the ball to feet with a defender next to him crap. He would never try to get past the player with a bit of skill or dribble. You know something like gone way then the other kind of move. Also I’ve never seen him make any kind of decent pass not including his standard low cross into box. Offers little with the press and in defence as his too weak. Further I can’t see him coming into the box attacking a cross with his head.
