Totally agree, but until Xavi is available we should pick the best option available.

I said he was worth a punt.
Palinha hasn't played as 8 yet. Don't know why that's relevant.
Yes he did. There was, as there always is, a cadre of fans writing him off and giving him dogs abuse. At the time I was on SC and was constantly arguing with those fans. "Hell never be better than league one" was amongst the comments.
For many fans yes but, as we are seeing with Tel yet again, there's always a bunch who think they know better than anyone else, then will go out of their way to belittle any opinion that differs with their own.
Man babies with a Napoleon complex.
Oh this is rich.
You didn't think Kane was good enough, and that's your justification for saying Tel isn't good enough?
FML.
Put the shovel down sweetheart, you're deep enough already.
You can't read.
One more signing is what I see as the most realistic scenario here.
So they'll probably identify the player they think is the most convenient, and he'll happen to address one of the handful of needs that you could make an argument for (left winger, another striker, a LCB/LB hybrid defender etc)

Quote important 2/3 days coming-up.
No damage today as such. Painful but sh!t happens.
I think we need to address a couple of options, but whether that is possible before the window shuts....
Hmmmmm....

He’s better at whatever it is that Palinha is meant to do. Hes just better at football
You realise you're describing yourself to a tee, here?
Think we are done in the transfer market tbh
Oh I can read just fine lil Napoleon. Your own words, you didn't think Kane was good enough. Adding "initially" at the end changes nothing, you wrote him off.
I said put the shovel down, not replace it with an excavator.
No chance. I refuse to believe even Levy could be that negligent.
Just don’t see anything significant happening now
Not even a punt......he is proven PL quality. People getting put off just because he likes to celebrate hard when his team wins big trophies is ridiculous. 95% of the time he is a model professional
The point is I still saw more potential in him, even then, than Tel... by far.Oh I can read just fine lil Napoleon. Your own words, you didn't think Kane was good enough. Adding "initially" at the end changes nothing, you wrote him off.

A simple point you're having far too much trouble with to not be stupid.
Ooooh, engagement.
Show me where I've belittled someone else's opinion in an unwarranted fashion. Argued yes, belittled only in response to belittlement.
Of course, you're only jumping in to fan the flames, so you won't bother to respond.
It was clear that he didnt like the way pep wanted him to play. Players like him like to roam and get on the ball.

Just in case you were wondering if we need a ball playing CM.
I’d honestly drop one of Palinha or Bentancur for Biss if we aren’t signing one.
Either that or give Gray the keys and live with the growing pains
There hasnt been nearly enough churn this summer. A lot of these players told us who they were last season. Might get up for the big games but really dont fancy the weekly grind. Just too easy and comfortable for them and losing doesnt hurt enough. Left it to late to change it much now but at least 1 or 2 more quality players are needed
