If he's really available for around 20 million, why on earth haven't we signed Chiesa yet? I know he's been injured a lot, but Christ, for 20 million you surely take the gamble. If he stays fit and adapts to England he suddenly becomes worth 4 times that.

Richie is the replacement. We need to upgrade him, not replace Kane.
As for beer money, Levy is more a tap water type of drinker.

Yet more value added to the club to be used as collateral for non football business.


This is what I'm starting to feel. Levy getting nervous after the 2nd half of last season went down the shitter so badly and only signing youngsters for a few years down the line stinks of cold feet.

Of course it'll be the infinite loop of blame if Ang is gone by Christmas. Did he get sacked because he didn't get backed, or did he not get backed because he was already in line for the sack.

Frustrating. Levy just really does not seem to understand the value of aligning head coach strategy with timely purchasing and support. He didn't properly back Conte either, which lead to ineffective performance and eventual disgruntlement, buying Porro far too late to be of any real help to Conte when it mattered. Constantly stepping over dollars to pick up dimes...

After watching the first half against Bayern the needs are fairly obvious.

A striker who can hold up the ball is a must, Richy not good enough, not reliable/fit enough. Kulu no better in that role, nor is son, albeit he does offer something difference against suitable opponents.

An alternative at right wing. I do think BJ has a role, but he was really poor today.

A Maddison alternative or rather a Maddison replacement/someone to rotate alongside him, as Maddison shows little sign of rediscovering his form, again Eze is the obvious choice.

I still worry about our number 6 and our left/right back back up. Spence looks ok going forward, but defensively is still very naive.
A back up keeper is also a must.

A lot to do in not a lot of time.

Our problems in the first half had nothing to do with the ball sticking up front. Apart from a very few occasions, the only ball they were getting was a punt upfield from Vicario. The only way the ball was sticking there was if it was coated in velcro.

I agree with the rest of your post, apart from the bit about Spence. I think he was a bit exposed today, because Davies is so slow. Even then though, he still put in a good performance. Wasn't he up against Tel? One of the top young talents in World Football, and Spence wasn't embarrassed by him. If the boy has grown up and shelved the attitude, he'll definitely get games this season, either on the right or the left.
 
Admin please re-name this to the Levy vent thread and let the miserable people spam in here and start a new transfer thread where the normies can post things transfer related, cheers.

Would you rather:
Jonathan David + Neto
Or
Solanke + Chiesa
Both duos seem to cost around the same

I don't like either combo.

David/Chiesa would be good value for 45ish million.

If we aren't going to purchase a undisputable starting quality winger that can stay healthy, then I'd rather see an extremely versatile and athletic front line instead.
