But despite similar resources, the Scum are miles ahead of us and the gap is getting wider and wider while we fuck about, dither and penny pinch.

So you don't think they are fucking about, dithering, and penny pinching themselves?

They fucked about and dithered with a sex offender on the pitch for 3 years
They fucked about and dithered with signing Zubamendi for 6 months
They have fucked about and dithered with signing a striker for well over a year and seem to be penny-pinching over Gyokeres for months now.
 
Rodrygo is never happening. We won't pay his wages and he wouldn't come here even if we did. PSG, Liverpool, City and Woolwich are all in for him and why the fuck would he choose us over any of them?

Lets not go down this rabbit hole. You are better than this. Don't do it to yourself!
So what you're saying is that, even if we were ambitious and spent the money, we still wouldn't be able to get big name players.

Funny, I thought it was because Levy was a tightwad.
 
Come on mate you're not doing yourself any favours with repeated nonsense like this.

Yes, the trophy was lovely....Wonderful , Glorious, Delightful....whatever your adjective of choice.

Get your head out of the sand and stop trying to fool yourself for Gods sake
I thought Mr Levy said, he wanted to win the league and CL., has he started the process yet?
 
Is it just me or should we walk away from Gibbs.I would love him at our club but don’t see him putting any pressure on Forest by demanding transfer.Yes this would upset the forest fans but I am afraid that must happen or we are wasting our time against the vindictive owner.All this time we could have been shopping elsewhere instead of
Doing nothing while the rest leave us behindGet back in the game Levy or we finish as always with mediocre buys

Sounds like he's Frank's top choice. Doesn't seem like we have that many targets.

Especially since the squad is so big and we're terrible at selling players.
 
The City news is interesting. My wild speculation is that the rest of the PL also think Forest are being assholes and don’t want to go anywhere near setting a precedent that release clauses don’t matter anymore.

The PL big boys want no part of that, release clauses are important.
Orrr they just signed cherki and reijnders and don’t need another cm/am. We can keep pretending we know forest are the ones in the wrong and not us, but we know absolutely nothing about this transfer and the longer it drags on with us and gibbs white doing nothing to enforce the release clause, the more it looks like the approach was dodgy.
 
Agreed. Players like this go to elite clubs. We are not an elite club.

Levy can get the media team to post as many staged interviews of him talking about how much he wants us to win silverware as he wants. But we all know that his goal is for us to be in and around the Top 4 and the money/exposure being in the Champions League brings.

If he actually wanted us to win silverware, we'd have signed several top quality players this transfer window and axed half the squad.

The sooner people accept that we're B-list, the better.
Do you see the contradiction in your post? On the one hand you say that top players will not come to us because we're not an elite club and you follow it by saying we're not going after top players. Well, if they're not going to come to us, does it not make sense that we rarely pursue them?

And when we do try to go after top players, but don't get the deals over the line, a lot of people moan that it's all smoke and mirrors. When the reality is that we're option B or C for these players and as much as we might want them, they don't want us.
 
File Baleba with Wharton and Rodrygo. At this stage of the window, well at any stage really it will be opportunities, Grealish or Garnacho as their clubs are desperate to get rid, Palhinha as a loan/low fee as Bayern owe us dosh, Dibling in the last year of his contract, Wissa last year of his contract. Things along those lines.

They are chronic bottle jobs and that squad is on the verge of breaking up if they don’t get over the line this year.

They also hired and protected a rapist. If they start poorly, watch for Arteta in the hot seat as well,

I don’t know one Spurs fan irl who would swap our seasons last year.

You can see they're on the verge of a nervous breakdown exactly like the one we had as the Poch era fell apart, but as with us in the Poch era, they are just a better side than we are at this moment.

And they are doing the aggressive win-now strengthening to push for this immediate next PL title in the way we did not.

They are but not aggressive enough.

If they were really serious, they’d have moved Arteta in imo.
