Paulinha seems a bit like the Sissoko deal he is there and available and we will pull the trigger if we don't find a better option.
Oh he does.
Phew, I was worried you were having a day off or worse still, Danny boy had fired you
Well, prove it then. Show me the timeline of the tweets instead of throwing about accusations.
Have to remember we still have to pay stadium off. But on flip side since poch left we have wasted money hiring wrong managers and mediocre players. Levy needs to get structure right again imo like it was under poch. Right manager, modern tactics, developing players, academy knocking on door getting in first team, right scout (mitchell). Was like a perfect pyramid. Since 2019 the pyramid has been dismantled.
Because we keep buying the cheap option and hoping we strike gold rather than signing ready made players. It will always be like this when you sign players like Gil - there is zero demand for them and they have to be loaned out or sold for less than £5m to a cash strapped La Liga side.
Buy top quality and if Real throw loads at it 2 seasons later then take the money, reinvest and do it all again. Instead we like the 2 in 10 model where we get a load of cheap players most don’t work and hang around like a bad smell but a couple become very good/great - the 8 fuck up the gains on the 2
You'd be surprised. It's been explained so many times it is either wilful ignorance or your suspicion.
Paywall.
do you know what, I am going to entertain you
Darron Gibson and Ronnie Wallwork won the PL multiple times
Romero is the one world class player we have
Solanke never made a single appearance for Chelsea in their 16/17 title win
Son is a all time great but his legs have gone and you can throw attacking stats at me all you like but I will use my eyes
Porro does not get in most top teams in Europe's starting 11. He would not start for any of our rivals.
VDV lacks the one ability top players must have... availability
In 3 or 4 years time Sarr will be playing for Watford
Running a round like a headless chicken does not make a diamond. What I have seen so far is your bang average PL forward player he like 95% of bang average PL forward players will have the odd game where you think he's the next Ronaldo but most of the time he's Andy Sinton.
Go look it up yourself.
If you don't know that Solanke was linked as a target by journalists weeks if not months before he signed then that's on you. If you're not aware that Pedro Porro was linked weeks before then that again is on you. If you're not aware that Brennan Johnson was linked by various journalists at the beginning of that window then that again is on you. If you're not aware that it was reported we either wanted VDV or Tapsoba nearer the start of that window then that again is on you etc etc etc etc.
Joan does lack those skills.

Because we buy bad, on bigger wages than there worth and they don't want to leave. Add in that other clubs and owners hate levy as he's pissed everyone off at some point and that makes matters worse.
There useless at the football side of things.
We sold Kane for 90m
Does he just mean 10m profit on players since 2019?
It’s the same old same old really.
We’ll sign a few youngsters & be done with it.
But Danny boy wants to win it all.
If we sign paulinha on loan we still need another number 6 imo. Want cover for every position for new season after last years injury fiasco. But i do think under frank we wont have so many injuries. Defintely need cover for maddison and solanke as well.
It’s whether Gray is now seen as the 6 cover.
Frank said in his HK presser we would be bringing players in.
Time is running out though, and we have Drag, Kulu and Destiny now injured so we need to be much quicker.
it's a shame the Super Cup (If it wasn't already) is complete write off now, we haven't even given ourselves a chance at even competing in that game
