This whole thing has been very interesting. We all saw the need for a fast winger type but very few would've suggested Lucas. Poch and Levy comes up with all sorts of surprises similar to Aurier and Llorente..

Feels like ages since we went for a here and now attacking player. Son?
Maybe Janssen but he strikes me as a player who was meant to be decent cover whilst he developed into a good player but he was not even that tbf.
Excited.

I'll hang this on my wall along side the Malcolm one..
So let me get this straight:
If "investment" means having a positive net spend on transfers.
And investment is the only way to improve the team.
Then how have we got a better squad than we had ten years ago?
I'm hanging mine next to my Damiao and Sneijder ones.
What a bizarre argument
I don't think anybody is saying we literally do not spend money.
The point is surely that if we added quality to what we have rather than replace we'd be stronger.
And that in the context of rival clubs strengthening, us simply retaining or even adding just a little quality can overall leave us in a weaker position than previously, or at the very least in a position where we can't take advantage of great opportunities.

You could argue your case in terms of percentages if your were smart John
Wages as a percent of revenue ...., maybe its stayed the same ?
If so that's what you could shout about
(I did think we were talking in terms of transfer net spend, as there is no value in wages once they're paid)

CM is still a priority - Moura proves nothing other than ambition. Unless of course you think both Poch and Dembele are openly lying about his fitness
Agree ... hence the going to ground argument
The fall is akin to the howzat cricket shout
Liverpool are an exception surely !
Mine will take pride of place next to my rivaldo one - alongside the copy of the ‘polite’ letter
I drove past there on holiday 2 years ago. Didn't see him play, he must have been at school still...
Because each investment is a gambleSo let me get this straight:

If CM was a priority to the club, they would sign a CM as priority.
It's your priority but not the clubs.
Priorities come first. That's the point. Shall I get the dictionary out again?
How many times have you been caught lying this week? Is Poch and Dembele lying too - yes or no?
A synonym of priority is first concern.
I think we should all be philosophical and not think about itA synonym of priority is first concern.
Show me examples and by examples I mean clubs consistently competing/winning titles on small budgets
If Ranjet says he is going to prioritise the cleaning, but does the cleaning after having a loooooooong wank, has he prioritised the cleaning or his masturbatative needs?
