This transfer window. Trying to understand whether were trying to be clever and wait till all the big guns do their business. Or were hitting brick walls and getting desperate. Tbh i still expect chelsea to hijack a player from us like they normally do flagrantly. Still think its shit though were way short going into super cup.

I was there... left Ginola on the bench, Steve Carr own goal. We went over on ferry and drove down to Metz... then shot across the border on the day of the game. We got in on the turnstiles for less than a fiver... They’ve revamped the stadium. It looks impressive now. Was a bit of dive in 99.
Half way through I thought I was agreeing with you…, but then when you said Mcatee plays like a child and he can’t press - you lost me there. Shows me you haven’t really watched him at all…
He did ran Sheffield in championship at 19 helping them for promotion scoring 9 goals in 37 games
We need experience, not more kids.
I just don't get people who thinks we can replace our one and only playmaker, with a kid!?
And us being short of personnel in key positions as usual, is almost criminal. Now it's AMC, LB, and DMC. The same story over and over again.
I do miss his elite corner taking tbf....
Don’t we have enough players who might not end up an elite player?
We need some who are actually elite
Fair play. Loads of tottenham were there. Remember iversen had a great chance 2nd half to put us 1 nil up and 2 nil on aggregate. We fucked up near the end. Not a bad ground when i went and struck me how clean germany was. Enjoyed the trip though.
Totally, but we looked completely fucked in the ten area.
You know yourself there's not much chance of signing an elite number ten.
I think you're right... it was so long ago. I just seem to remember we defended like mad men and they levelled up the tie late on... and before I finished thinking ok, we can do this in extra time, Carr put through his own net. Good times when playing in Europe was so rare for us.
All 'tight bald cunt'-memes aside; what "elite" #10s are remotely available?
I wouldn't call Eze or Simmons "elite"........
Re: #10 I think they -mistakenly- believe that;
1) Maddison and Kulusevski are/were good enough when both are/were healthy.
2) Maddison in particular will have no problem recovering to his pre-injury level.
I don't agree with either, but if Levy and co actually think along those lines then the reinforcement they'll bring this summer won't be anything more than a stopgap player or a punt.

Sheffield fans notably said he was a complete passenger without the ball and called him a “luxury player”
The absolute LAST thing we need to add to a Thomas Frank is a luxury player who doesn’t have the quality Maddison did to truly run games. I’d genuinely rather pay £20m for El Khannouss because at least he has shown the potential of being a real midfielder who can actually run a game.
Either be able to run a game or be able to run all game. Simple as
McAtee is a decent player but he's far from the finished product and we'll need much better than him with Madders out long-term. It would be the unambitious option.
If Frank is surprised then he's an idiot.
Yup he'll be 28 next Summer. Feels like its now or never for him.
Surprised Woolwich or nobody else activated the release clause! Palace will surely want more now this close to the deadline.
Supposed to be a data scientist
A year 7 maths student could analyse the likelihood of Levy supporting him and avoid at all costs. Either greedy, gullible or an idiot tbh
Frank had to take the Spurs job. It was the best job he could get and he knew he'd maxed out at Brentford and was only a matter of time before that went south.
I don't think he'll be surprised about the situation at Spurs or disappointed. I think he's just happy to be here. A nice safe yes man for Levy.
