Agreed, I really like him too.
Whilst we do need players who are going to come in and make a real difference to our starting line up, I don't think we should shy away from what we had been doing for decades prior.
Signing the likes of McNeil, Eze, Aarons, Ferguson, Bellingham, Bowen etc to fill out our squad, mould them into top stars is something that we've had alot of success with in the past with the likes of Dawson, Huddlestone, Bale, Lennon, Defoe etc.
Duvan is also on a loan from Sampdoria so it would take negotiating with both clubs.
Bit too much work I figure. Probably easier to loan in Jovic from Madrid all things considered.
There’s nothing wrong with focusing on young talent, I have no problem with that. The problem with our squad is that it’s lost it’s edge, young British players will have a big hunger to work hard and succeed here and that’s what we need.
I don’t really understand how we could sign a player like Dele and then seemingly just give up on signing more players with a similar profile.

strikers need service and at this moment Kane is getting none. This guy has a mean cross in him.
All entirely reasonable. Do you think that would be enough to keep him from the clutches of a German club?
That's almost as bad.
Just give Jose some time. He will instill this in our players. He's only been here like 10 weeks.
Bruv. I....
Someone tell him.
Unless we get Cavani (pleasepleasepleasepleaseplease) we aren't going to need any crosses any time soon. Dele is the only one up front who can connect, but I don't see him playing striker. Could do, I suppose, but not a Jose-style gamble.
I would have liked to see another 2-3 faces in the summer but all the same, I was looking forward to seeing us play some serious football again with the additions of Ndombele and Lo Celso. Who knows when we will see Ndombele again. It's a nightmare.

44 days.
Oh, then it's just seemed that long. Hasn't taken you long to realize it's the players and revise history to
44 days. Good job.
I said that in the summer. I gave our transfer business 6/10 when the window closed. For a clever guy, I don't understand your need to make stuff up. It's why I don't always bother engaging with you.
Why would we need to buy anyone in the next window? This one's been so fabulous that we are all set up for the next 3 years.

Epic, just epic :dembelelol: The megalomaniac strikes again. What views are those? That Poch isn’t a good manager, for example? I never really caught up with that, that was always all you.. Or Poch is the best manager we’ve had in 30 odd years but he’s won nothing and has faults? Care to tell...

I know there is still time, but I am disappointed we have not managed to shift more of our squad players.
Relieved we finally got Lo Celso, but overall, it's been a real mixed bag for me. We've let problems pile up for years, and it was always going to be a big ask to rectify them all in one window.
Bothered that Alderweireld, Vertonghen and Eriksen are running down their contracts.

Point is they're not satisfied. Only one who's been kinda consistent is Walker. They didn't get what they hoped with Mendy and Danilo. Yeah see here’s the thing. I said the PL full backs are average and nothing special in any way shape or form. You disagreed yet keep telling me how crap...

Champions League money is flushed away from the P&L for next year, so absolutely no incentive to invest for ENIC this window. Only silly emotions connected with wanting to win and not finish 8th would justify spending any money in January.
This season is shaping up like the Pleat plod in 2003/04. No clear direction and writing off a season with a shrug.
On an emotional level we needed some
Premier league quality added as of 1 January, ready to go....as it is, looks again like Prick in a yellow tie will make his living off our name at the end of the month and we will be disappointed again by not getting Charlie Adam and the lack of emotion from the boardroom.
Still stadium’s nice.

Yes was thinking that myself. Its like Pleat / Mo Pos 1st season.
I wonder if Levy though he might be able to get away with the old caretaker until end of the season con trick that he managed with the Kerb Crawler ? I bet he did seriously consider it.
Yeah that might be a dealbreaker
I've got my doubts over Jovic. He was utter crap at the U21s last summer and looked like he just wanted to get started at Madrid. That hasn't gone to well either
