I mean most of our fans seem happy with top 4 every few seasons & being miles behind our bitter rivals. Not very attractive is it. Kind of a cushty team to join as it’s in London, lovely facilities & not expected to even win a carling cup.
Can you touch the crossbar from a standing jump?
He is a tricky one to decide on. People who actually watch a lot of him are very divided. He looks like a solid 7/8 out of 10 player. Handy but not a world beater.
We'll have to hear about him all season, perfect player for all sorts of projections. He'll be the missing link, proof that Levy's cheapness is holding us back after every loss for some. He'll be a mediocre over-priced player, a bullet dodged by the smart new regime after every victory by others.
Ha. When In reality he is probably a decent player but not a key one. I can take or leave him. It’s a big blow losing royal too. He was the perfect scapegoat when we lost. He would go from ‘worst footballer ever’ to ‘most improved player ’ based on one half of football against Luton.
Solanke hmmmm. Had a very good season but I worry that’s his peak & he has hit his ceiling. Suits being the main man at a mid table team. But I didn’t expect him to be as good as he was last season so who knows.

Actually a bit disappointed as this was one player Ange seemed to have a legitimate plan for.
My wage demands would break the current structure unfortunately.Can you touch the crossbar from a standing jump?
What! Don’t forget levy will supply you with 1 pair of gloves every 5 seasons. & a clean sheet bonus.*
*1 free drive around the go kart track.
De gea is a free agent & our defence is used to a keeper dodgy from crosses. Thinking outside the box. Don’t think he was as bad as people made out.
I never believed he was coming here, not even for a second.
Cover for Maddison is still needed if he gets injured or is playing shite (which is a distinct possibility). His passing game sets up a lot of our wingers plays and we don't have another player with his passing skills.
Kulusevski is ok in there at a pinch, Bergvall seems to have a confident passing game and might do well in there. Donley was a good creator in the 21s, not sure how those skills transfer to the big boys.

I say we give Bergvall a shot as our backup 8/10 … and save ENIC’s precious precious money for (1) a No. 9, (2) a RW who can dribble past defenders and (3) everyone’s favorite - Real estate developments.
28 games, but only 43% minutes. Couple times he was coming from the bench cause Ange said he was ready only for 20-30 minutes due to fitness. We spent more time on the pitch without him than with him. We were not able to rely on him during the season where we played mostly once a week. Hope he sort it somehow, but wise club needs to plan life without him.
Me and you both, and we constantly got told how 'wrong' we were by the experts. We were never giving Chelsea 40 million pounds. Good grief do these people actually know anything about the club they claim to support?
Not really.
You (or I) may not have wanted him but the noise was Ange did.
At £34m he was theoretically obtainable.
Not enough was done.
No doubt, but also Ange is far from flawless, he wanted Brennan Johnson for £50m as well. We can and should invest our money more wisely.
And Johnson managed a return of GA bettered by only two players.
I'd expect him to do better this season. Especially if there's someone in the other side consistently doing what he did. Or someone in the middle.
