Milan piss taking again. They'll bid 30m plus on a player a few days after they sign Emerson.

Yeah I've already said as much in the original reply to you - just pointing out that you were wrong to say that we'd be weaker
Eze liked some IG posts by Greenwood?
So fucking what Totti you utter clown.

Awesome now post one for the cups
He can correct me if I'm wrong but I believe that's his point. 1 academy player cemented into the 1st team every couple of years is actually a good return. To expect a class '92 is a bit much and actually unfair on the kids.
Do we need KWP now Spence is threatening to be good?
Matt Wells our assistant manager worked with Solanke before so must have had a word
How much do you think Emerson is worth?
£15m sounds about right to me??
I find it reassuring to see a growing number of fans who share my frustrations.
Ultimately I hope the ownership listen and make a point to prove us wrong. Every year I have that niggling hope, but most years they don't seem to be influenced by fan perception beyond sacking a 'fall guy' manager
Absolutely there are clubs with academies that produce quality - these good players come from somewhere.
But our academy has produced 2 top PL players in 20+ years. The idea that the 4 being talked about this summer are going to make it is preposterous.
I like them. I hope they make it. One of them might, which will be great. There's no chance they're all going to be quality PL players. No way we can go into the season expecting them to play significant roles.
Weird behaviour or is it not at least partially the ability to think objectively so as not to be blinded by own desire to see team thrive?
Some people find the opposite nauseating, I.e. to speak only about how good they are at everything without any introspective critique.
What other clubs are you referring to?
Moore is the absolute gem we have to look after as for the others it's hard to say, I agree with you that the vast majority won't make it with us but I don't think it hurts keeping them in and around the team as long as they're given adequate mins here and there without harming results, there's plenty to go around this season.
Some of the people on this thread.
Constant jibes every say at the direction at your own club is not thinking objectively, it's being a twat.
The other clubs I'm talking about are Villa and Newcastle.
This will be the 2024 version of VDV deadline day
Can't wait
Gotta get that extra mill bonus
Not really bud. We all knew halfway through last season what we needed. And whilst the window has three weeks to go, it’s been open a lot longer than that.
I’m usually very patient and understanding of what goes on, or doesn’t. I’m not Levy or ENIC Out, but they are pushing their luck here.
Yes, we could make a couple of great signings now, but I’m certainly coming round to the idea that it would have been much better to have our shit together by now. Get new players integrated with the squad. Make sure they and their families are settled into new homes and schools. Rather that than parachuting them in late August.
Just don’t get why we aren’t getting business done this window. Plenty of reasons before this one, but everything that caused issue in the past seems to be sorted now. So why the lack of action?
Quality is subjective but when you’re talking about 20-70m signings then I think we can say we’re talking about quality. So far we’re being linked with 50m+ signings.
You had very good attention to details when it suited you but displayed very poor attention to detail when it was inconvenient. The reason your comparisons with 2018 are irrelevant is not because the word was in caps. The supporting evidence was right there - since that transfer window (as the stadium was nearing completion), we have spent very well. In the past five transfer windows we have been too 4 for net spend and we are likely to be again this summer.
You can’t rationally cherrypick one season and ignore five other more recent seasons of countervailing evidence. The strength of your feeling should match the evidence.
Agree to disagree.
Newcastle fans have notoriously moaned about their owners for many years, and in fact since the takeover there is more optimism. Villa - I'm not familiar, maybe they're just much better ppl than us "twats" are
I agree that, we are in the same boat as villa and Newcastle.
In Newcastle case, they were all set for take off , or so they thought, but the FFP thing is keeping them from potentially taking over the big boys.
Villa are a good side, got CL partly because of our end of season collapse, when we beat them at theirs I thought CL was ours.
If we nab 4th spot this year that would be good.
