It will show against the big teams
Yeah the same shit will happen mate. Win a few get spanked a few by city/Liverpool/Woolwich lose and get outplayed by teams like Brighton and beat the cannon fodder at the bottom. End up somewhere between 5th to 7th. Rinse and repeat the season after. Need a good cup run because other than that I can't see a good season coming up as it stands.
 
Nothing happening

Ornstein just said Spurs basically had the best window for addressing their needs.

Not saying we had a perfect window or even a great window but somehow it’s hard to argue with him that anyone really had a better window.

It could be an amazing window, an average or a shit one.

We looked at Neto, Eze and Gallagher who are all ready made players and got Bergvall, Odoburt and Gray.

All kids, so they could be the dogs bollocks straight away which would be perfect, they could be good in 2 years so an average window or they might not grow how we expect which would make this a poor window.

To judge this window you will need to wait to see what level they can consistently produce.

The outs where certainly decent though.
 

He ‘thinks’ wages are the issue.

In reality he has no more idea if that’s really the case than you or I.

I hate these opinion pieces where they word it in such a way people take it as gospel!

It’s all about self promotion than actually spouting facts!
 
We only agreed to giving them discounted fee on Lo Celso because we achieved this deal on Cardoso.
So what else do we do. Keep him and pay him 5m for the season and have him wandering round the training ground.
Look what Juve have done with Chiesa, who, 3 yrs ago, was one of the top players in Europe. Lost pace due to an injury . They paid 50m 3 yrs ago and he’s gone for 10m at 26 yrs old.
Sometimes you have no option.
Fast forward 5 yrs to Chelsea. Stuck with various players who still have plenty of yrs on their contracts. They are either useless or Chelsea want rid. Best of luck.
 
Don't really get it. Does it mean we give them LoCelso but own This Johnny geezer and if they sell he him we get the money
They way it looks so far is that we give them GLC for peanuts and in exchange we get the option to buy this guy for 30m or a % of the fee if we decide not to take up the option.

If we have signed contracts with him that makes it sound like we've basically agreed to let Betis keep him one more season. Tbh that ties in with the fact that Ange feels like he needs a Gallagher Joao Gomes type and this is the one he wants but is willing to wait a season to get him.

I could be reaching there though. Sounds pretty highly rated though so chances are this is a player they really like.
