Wow, your bank must have serious liquidity problems you keep extending credit to the un-creditworthy...better hope there's not a run on it.
£25.6 million or about the same as Bryan Gil. If you feel there were better players available for that price range in the summer, fair enough, but even had we been able to use the whole sum in Jan 22a, we couldn't get a deal for Luis Diaz done as we don't pay the wages . I wasn't sure about bringing Kulusevski back and don't think of him as an above average player. I also want ENIC out for more ambitious ownership. With that said, we couldn't have got the players who went for 40 plus this summer for £25.6 million.Here we go again with another toxic response which amounts to "Oh look, I've found a little morsel into which to sink my teeth in order to wage my internecine war...I'll conveniently ignore the thrust of this poster's argument because it is very sticky for unsupported counter narrative. And if I'm lucky folks will think this little petty point weakens his other very solid points".
Belabored? Just because a point is made counter to your position does not mean it is "belaboured". But to address your point directly, it's 40M because I said this before he was loaned too...on these very pages. So it's 40M for me and folks likeDeuterz who took in his time at Juve and saw exactly what we've seen and exactly what Juve folks said.
Then after 10M and 6 months of shiny objects + overall meh performances and an additional 12 months of absolute shit some folks strangely wanted to make this nonsense permanent for 30M more...and then behave like wretched little children to defend it...all while Spurs lose because of it.
But your quibble should have been about 30M wasted to make my point more precise (in your estimation)...that would have been a good faith take. Then I would have corrected you about the 40M or graciously said "fine, 30M if that's how you want to look at it...but at least look at it that way". But you wanted to be a cunt...because for some reason ignorant, petty, and cunty = super fan in some folks' minds.
Feel free to address the rest of my point(s).
Exactly. He’s played more minutes than literally everyone else minus vicario.
Yeah, I've talked 40M and then split it into 10 + 30M...it's clear I'm talking about Euro which is what most of this transaction was probably made in considering it was with a Serie A club AND what is used at the reliable source that is Transfermarkt. Don't really know why you felt the need to do this...
who cares? Neither should have been purchased and both are not good enough...which was evident at the time.
So your solution to this is to get a player that's clearly not good enough AND spend good money for that very privilege? Again, the January move isn't the truly shit move even though it was clear he wasn't a player that was going to be good enough. The truly shit move was ignoring all the evidence before us and ignoring that in order to make him permanent.
A very sound perspective.
I want them out for more competent leadership.
we could have gotten better for in and around 30M Euro...all it takes is a look at transfermarkt. But in order to do this we need an accurate assessment on exactly Kulu's level...which is something the morons on this board won't let happen...which is the point of it all.
He did
That's not been announced yet. That's announced during a live TV broadcast recapping the year in Swedish football.
As of his last game, had he not covered the most distance of any player in the team this season? Guy runs like crazy. He's definitely looked worn-down the past week or two, at least to me.
Hell no.
