The same Ange that when he first arrived swiftly said he wanted to build a squad comprising YOUNG hungry, ambitious players.
He was an up and coming player; not a fully formed, mid 20s proven "elite" player.
What a weird take!
It’s injury cover and strength in depth when everyone is fit! Guy can play anywhere across the front three which makes him very versatile when Sonny has been off it and we lack options in other areas.
Blokes talking out his toot hole!
Forced narratives about Spurs once again, pundits don't need to think, they just repeat the common opinion and get away with it because it never gets challenged, boring.
Sounds good but you just made that up.
Ange said HE wants young players.
Poch liked young players.
Young players are hungry and malleable.
When they arrived Ange said Gray & Berg were players for now and people here broadly sneered....... Yet......
The people sharing his staged meltdowns are only helping him. It's mental people aren't getting this.He’s an irritating little nerd, but who’s the muppet? Him or the 2m subscribers ensuring he makes a reasonable living from his nonsense?!
Thank goodness he isn’t Spurs is all I can say!
No ill will to him/her, but it really does annoy me that way further people subsquently drink this kind of ill informed shit down just cos it appears to have been googled somehow.
Marmoush, 25 years old, established top class player from a top league, 80m. It happens.
I'm not saying Ange doesn't want to work with the young players. He said himself he was part of the recruitment model to bring them in. As we see with Tel and the way Gray and Bergvall look up to him, he's clearly integral to the whole deal.
But if he leaves the club before they are developed into their potential then it will the manager who gets the fruits of that labour who is backed by those players. That's why I'm saying you back the team with young players and you back the team with a coach who will develop them with playing time.
It already has by the looks of it....
Sure it was a big offer; but a club in their position should be able to afford to refuse for a player of his ilk (see Brighton/Mitoma)....... For a young, productive striker who's best years are ahead that wasn't mega bucks anyway.
Hard not to conclude that sale is to help sustain that mad wage bill.....
Selling assets to pay expenses (wages) signifies a troubled business.
Ok maybe I phrased it badly . If they are very very good prospects you have to pay up . If they let you go or sell you cheaply they do not see you as that level . I hope I am wrong but I doubt Lankshear makes it at a top half prem club possibly not even any prem club .
He is also a known knob, it's why they were considering the West Ham offer. If the Saudi money has him interested I wouldn't want him around the club, could easily become toxic.
"Ellite" though? ....I think that's a stretch.
Marmoush is a player who's finally scored his big move and now has to prove he belongs at the top table.
That's not a Mbappe, Vinicius, Lewandowski, Krose, etc. etc. etc.
I asked you the very same question the other day and you had no answer............ Telling that you needed to tenuously stretch to a player from the current window who doesn't really fit the description.
Doesn't reflect well on him. True.
.......But they didn't appear to have any intent to spend that 70 to replace him.
Instead they got Rashford on loan who says he doesn't want to play ST..... A player with his own dodgy attitude.
...And another attacking midfielder in Assensio.
All the while Watkins looks injured.
It’s not what I meant , I meant if the selling club sees them as that potentially they demand a big fee. Poorly worded by me I admit . My point is players released or sold cheaply at 18 are rarely making the step up in my view . Obviously there are exceptions, we could I think easily have sold Kane cheaply at 18 , we are all very glad we didn’t
It's January. Better to wait until the summer of you can over spending big to replace what is in effect a bench player.
Worked well for Everton........
..............And (yeh, I'm gonna say it this time cos it absolutely fits) LEEDS.
Golden rule:
If content is shit; don't share it.
Why feed the beast?
IF Tel works out then all we need up front in the summer is Mbeumo
Then possibly a CB if Romero leaves (we should cash in if he doesn’t want to be on the bus)
And a highly rated prospect LB
Ideally also an elite CDM, though we won’t get that, so put Gray there as starter next season
