That absolutley boils my piss for some reason...

It shouldn't as the womens team are a totally seperate entity to the men, I'm not going to pretend I watch them or care much though. This isn't AFTV...

But I'm just getting more and more wound up by the lack of movement.

This has got 1 out of 10 window written all over it and then we are in serious trouble next season believe me.
 
Maybe you are a gooner on a wind up and I'm playing into your hands.

But how are they more successful right now?

They haven't won shit for five years. And haven't won the league since 2003-4.

We are both in the Champions league, the only reason Eze would prefer them to us is wages.

And before anyone chips in that they are challenging for titles, are they fuck. They are no nearer a title now than we were under Poch. They are in for a top 4 battle this season.

Lets have it right. Its just more excuses from our fanbase who acts like we are fucking Fulham for some uknown reason.

We don't even try to get these players if there's serious competition .. we fucking fold. Maybe he would pick them, but maybe if we offered 200k a week and tried to get it done within the first few weeks he'd have decided to come here. Of course we would never do this...
 
But why would we buy another 10... we have 2... and Donley coming through... we need a RW.. i agree on the striker front we need one a younger high potential one ideally and we definitely need a 6 in a different mould to what we have. If we can get Simmons I would personally go for him, Id sell a bunch of players to fund it move Tel to back up Striker and have Him and Odobert LW and also Simmons rotating with Maddison at 10 until Kulu is fully fit and then sell Son, Solomon and richie etc

We also need a lot of outs annoyingly.
We do need a right winger and as i said i'd be happy enough with Kudus if we add another quality player along the front line. Its about options, someone that can play off the left or central negates Maddisons injuries and allows us to move Son and Solomon on.
 
Come on. Kudus being a better signing than Eze is a ridiculous take.
Especially since 1. like Eze, Kudus really considers himself a number 10 rather than an out and out winger, so the idea that he's a better fit is a bit illusory and 2. he's barely any cheaper!

If we sign Kudus for 60M while Eze goes to Woolwich for 68M, I mean, hope for the best, stranger things have happened than that working out, but the probability of disaster is high and that's going to become the next Nelsen and Saha where it just never stops being a stick to beat Levy with.

The Lo Celso vs Fernandes situation was never nearly as clear-cut as this.

Haha I most definitely am not.

Because they are challenging at the top year in year out, were in the semi finals of the champions league, any player looking at us and them right now picks them, their sqaud and team is way better than ours. I dont think a single one of our starting level bar Son (if he was fully fit) gets into their starting level. Last season they didnt challenge really but the 2 season before they got very very close.
 
Right so Eze lit up the league in the second half of the season, after being appaling in the first half when palace finally found form, even palace fans say hes very hit and miss and goes missing for months on end, hes not some elite talent. Kudus first season at West Ham was better than Eze has ever produced, and you put Eze in that awful West Ham team last season playing out of position would have delivered next to nothing too
That is not true. Eze has shown a higher ceiling so far. His FA cup performances are better than anything Kudus has ever produced.

Mate. This is 'The Fighting Cock '

They have been higher than us for 3-4 of the last 12 twelve seasons. Before that it was all us.

And they only really put in a proper title challenge in one of those seasons and it wasn't last season.
The rest weren't close.

The reason their squad is better than ours is we keep buying mid players like Kudos when players like Eze are available.

Then we wonder why.

We don't usually agree but you are spot on here. We were more than capable of singing Eze and Mbeumo but we aren't coming in with 200k a week offers. Instead we are trying to bargain them down and hoping nobody hijacks us. If anyone bigger comes in then we are gone. I've a funny feeling the same thing will happen with Kudus now too where if Chelsea just decide they want him then they'll get him because they'll happily pay 150-200k a week. We are probably trying to get him for closer to 120k a week
 
Woolwich have, challenged for the league over the past 3 seasons.
They will need to go one better this season otherwise, I think it's gone for them for a while.
Tottenham, on the other hand don't, challenge for the league and 4th place is pretty much the best it can get.

Raya / Vicario to a degree as well. Another one we were 'chasing'.
