Perhaps it should be a parable in the bible
It's not what you ask for but what you actually receive that counts.
trophies .
Are you an idiot? Why would the player who has since joined the other club say anything favourable about the club he didn't join...especially if the club's are rivals? He is obviously saying it because he meant it. Jesus.
That’s actually peak levy. I want it to happen to have a laughThe Rossi pay-as-you-play thing makes me weep btw
Look unless it says "Levy is a tight cunt" in the small-print, he ain't interested, alright!?!?!?!
Get some reading lessons and resume at a later date... :sigh:
Winks - Good. Gonna be great
Dier - Love him.
Skipp - Looks the bollocks
Sissoko - Hench! ...And back soon too.
Could do with another body, but of what style, not sure based on what Poch's bigger plans are for that area of the pitch i.e. (2 or 3 men)
Chill. He does.
I wish I had your optimism. From my viewpoint:
Winks - was superb before his injury but seems to have fallen off a bit - if he can regain that form we have a real player
Dier - all bark and no bite
Skipp - really hasn't impressed me but could have potential
Sissoko - our best CM this season, been fantastic
Bottom line is they aren't good enough to be our only centre mids even if they weren't injured.
& does he? or does he have absolutely no alternative? I don't see anyone else he could play
There’s a flip side though, maybe we sign a big name like Rebrov.
What could go wrong
I'll raise you..
Greaves, Lineker, Klinnsman, Waddle
Well at least with Rossi is always injured and on a pay as you play contract we can have a couple better brands of cheese in the new stadium. Maybe we can sign Mickey Mouse down the road
I'm not saying they aren't successful signings, just questioning the amount of managerial genius required to make them. I staunchly maintain Mane/VVD were low-risk (Mane less so maybe).... Let's also not forget they nearly didn't get VVD at all cos they ballsed up their tapping-up job the window before that...
The young defenders are his biggest triumph IMO. Even Wijnaldum cost over £20m (again pre-Neymar).
Taking 3 years (inc. 1 year too late) to sort your keeper out backfired rather spectacularly, no?
He's obviously a decent manager... Routed in very simple tactics and excellent motivational skills.

We've got to 3rd in the league and CL last 16 with them.... Perhaps you're mistaken?
Winks: Previously deployed as forward thinking box-2-box. Currently playing, deeper defensive, controlling role.
Skipp: Calm beyond his years, a few strong tackles already, confident on the ball....What exactly do you expect to see from a kid with 2 senior appearances playing an understated DM role?
Dier: LOL.... Diers got "bite" don't you worry.
You don't?
You really don't?
...Even though both Dele & Eriksen have played in CM this season?
...In turn, is it any clearer as a result, why we might be shopping for AMs rather than CMs instead?
Don't shoot the messenger but, I think the Leandro Damião deal is getting closer.
It's funny that the size of the bars on that graph are complete crap (look at how Woolwich and Liverpool differ compared to Woolwich and ourselves).
Sparing the blushes of the top 5, perhaps?
Love the way peeps are storming this thread all day thinking "yeh, I got it sussed; I'll bring the wisdom" without evidently really thinking at any real depth or reading any comments that came before.
Pick a page.... Any page from today... It'll be explained to you.... 20 times.... With scathing sarcasm if required.
