Some people have been known to do all 3 , which is the difference between a Ginola and a Johnson, I know which I prefer. Although I don’t get the Johnson hate from some , he certainly did what Ange asked of him .That doesn't win you trophies though.
Dribbling past opponents wins trophies - not bloody goals and assists

I’ve heard that fat Greek bloke is in there…
Maybe the Frank effect will be worth a few positions as well.Careful, mate...
If Ange really was as bad a coach as people say, then hopefully the squad was just massively underperforming in the league and we're flattering to deceive.
Until season starts we just don't know.
No it's not inspiring but, it is expected from levy.
Too many people have been hung up about his win tbe league statement, when in reality he isn't going to provide the tools for a manager to do that.
As for Frank, I do believe the team will improve from the shit show of last year, it could not have got worse barring relegation.
I never expected anything to change in regard to our recruitment, he will be left well short like every other manager before him.
It does seem since the MGW deal collapsed that, everything else is on hold. It probably isn't the case but the last 3 weeks have gone very quiet.
This is half the problem. As the new season fast approaches teams don't want to lose there best player and have to replace them so late. I don't think u get good value either most of the time clubs want over compensating.
As soon as we knew frank was saying yes to the job there should of been a meeting where 3 or 4 big additions should have been identified for the team and then go sign them early and then use the rest of the summer to offload players frank decided he didn't want.
That's how the big clubs move. We will spend just as much a them but we will get half the quality for our money.
I think you've pretty much nailed it here, my friend.
I'd expect a couple of 'deals' late on as Levy looks for the value among the left overs once the serious clubs have concluded their business.
And he uses the deadline to drive the price down where he knows Clubs actively want to sell the player.
He enjoys the whole cat and mouse element to it as well, there's no doubt about it.
It's just so tiring knowing this is what's coming pretty much every window.
Perfect for Levy then
Starting to look like this summer’s window is even worse than last year. What an achievement
The problem is the later the window goes the less likely you are to get good players as clubs dont have time to reinvest. So you're left picking up the ones that clubs are desperate to bin and there are obviously good reasons they want to bin them. As ever the way we operate is not targeted its about the deal.
What as, a water bed ??
Given the circumstances of where we are i'd say its only one notch up from 2018. I know we've done a bit this summer compared to fuck all but at least in 2018 we had a good side that had just finished 3rd, even though it was starting to look tired. This lot produced our worst league finish in 48 years.
What can you tell us about Kalimuendo?
I said this window is slow a couple of weeks ago, does anyone expect a flurry of activity towards the end of the window or not?
The Scottish teams in the champions league get absolutely dominated most match days.
Celtic have averaged 4 losses per group stage (when they have qualified) over the last 2 seasons before it became an expanded league table, where they fared slightly better beating Leipzig and Slovan Bratislava.
Get Mikey to the Champo. To a club that will play him. He will be excellent in that league by the time match day 10-15 he will be developing at a good rate, fair sailing and all that.
I'm not sure sending him to WBA is the silver bullet. We don't know if Mason is any good as the head coach. Brum probably more a cert as they have money and we know Davies is good to go.
Regardless, looking forward to the highlight reels!
He does seem to enjoy waiting around for a price drop.
Even if results are not great for a few weeks, as long as he gets his man at his price is what matters most, winning the transfer window.
