Where the fuck is Munn

What on earth has happened

Who Is That Jeremy Renner GIF by The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon
 
I'm only interested in how long our club takes to fill key positions, granted we have a GK, a winger, and an attacking midfielder in good time but it's a CB that really needs to time to settle into the first team and get used to everything involved.

What's going to happen if we either don't get a new CB before the Brentford match or even if we do by then, they'd have missed the opportunity to take part in our pre-season and settle in. so our defence in that scenario is compromised?
Agree with that.

However, a CB is the 2nd easiest position to work into a team.

GK being the 1st obviously
 
Neither am I, just posting the occasional comment on my favourite thread.

:pochsmirk:


We finished 8th last season and are soon to lose our best player but nah, everything is fine, nothing to worry about.
It seems to me most of the anger and bitterness is coming from the Levy / ENIC in mob aimed at those who are critical or concerned at their continued incompetence and negligence.
I mean, why even spend so much time in a thread in which you know criticism of the ownership will be the main topic if it bothers him so much 🤷‍♀️.

ITK, so keep private please.

When on notice for City Group, Tech ran a scan of his permissions and docs, found he had a copy of all City targets at all levels, marked “Daniel will suck me dry for this info”.

It‘s now with the lawyers.

Pinch of salt.
In all seriousness, is he trapped in an extended gardening leave? Have I missed it
 
Thanks mate, it's a serious one as I'm interested to see where people think our starting 11 realistically is.

Id personally say 1-2 players.

New CB alongside Romero and another MF to partner with Bissouma and Maddison for when Hojbjerg leaves. Id be OK with Sarr but would rather someone more experienced.
Centrebacks obviously. Replacement for Kane definitely. New midfielder for PEH, Latest rumour is Kessie, a really good box to box player but we’d lose him, Sarr and Bissouma to ACON in Jan-Feb next year. Could be left short esp with the Bentamcur situation. Also linked with Gallagher and Luiz a.t.m. I also fancy Amrabat.

2-3 depends who gets sold (lol)
need 2 decent centre backs
 
Agree if they are PL proven and an experienced, established player. So if we sign Laporte or Dias next week, no problem

Off topic but where does this idea that City and Spurs would do business come from?

They don't even want us to have an administrator from their China department.

It's well known that Levy has led the complaints about them for financial irregularity. Pep speaks about Levy and Tottenham in every other press conference.

The two clubs clearly have bad blood at a boardroom level. They sold woolwich some deadwood because mini lego Pep is what is known as safe opposition or a useful idiot.

I was joking. Even if Dias was somehow randomly interested in joining, not a chance Levy would close a deal and match his wages regardless of the fact he’s world class
 
It's honestly a shambles when you look at the show that Levy is running.
The principal owner and Levy's mentor and business partner has been charged with financial crimes.

The prior sporting director of the club (and only DOF-type ever elevated to a board-level position under ENIC) has been convicted of financial fraud and banned by FIFA but is still somehow prominently involved in the club's business.

The incoming Chief Football Officer is now enmeshed in some drama related to apparent violation of the terms of his departure from his previous employer.

The recruitment of a new Director of Football has gone entirely silent.

And these are the fruits of a just-completed internal review of the club's football structure and operations meant to professionalize and rationalize the leadership.

Every time Levy tries to turn the page on his failures, every new pathway is choked with the contradictions that have built and built and built for years.

It has been at least a decade since the business practices that are inherent to ENIC's control of the club have been fit for purpose. The only way to fix this is to end it.
 
Exactly. I imagine he has a healthy bonus based on trophies, as well as some sort of indirect FFP avoidance

City's face value wages should be taken with a big ol' pinch of salt.

Fair, but I'm pretty sure our players have bonuses and the such added to their contracts too.

IF this never happening scenario were to somehow magically happen, we could afford his wages as long as we weren't bidding against someone offering 400k a week or something ridiculous like that,.

Yeah you can discount us ever paying out a bonus for winning the treble
