Here we go again. Anyone who dares have a different opinion must automatically love Levy.
It's such tedious, childish bullshit. What are you, six?
Levy got a lot wrong. Sacking Poch instead of allowing a rebuild was dead wrong. Hiring a chequebook manager like Jose without doing the chequebook part was absurd.
It's perfectly possible to acknowledge those mistakes and have the nuanced position that he doesn't get everything wrong and not lose my shit have and have the exact same whine every three minutes on a forum. Go outside. Get some fresh air. You might enjoy it.
A gooner mate of mine really isn’t happy with their complete lack of signings.
This isn’t to justify us not getting a Kane backup but I’d take Kane and no back up over Lacazette and that young kid any day of the week. At least we still produce quality when needed.
They did. So far all the teams around us have been playing better more fluid football than us.
Lets see how this changes for us with the players out and the new players in
And City still beat them, coming from behind. And Woolwich still got a player sent off because they're headless chickens. I'd rather play bad and win than well and lose as often as them.

Don't really agree with this.
The teams around us have had their coaches and their systems in place for a few years now. They have had time to train and practice and get used to their way of playing.
Conte came in December and took more points than most of the teams around us. We only lost 1 in 10 games against a dead rubbered Chelsea away. We could win 37 games against everyone but we'd almost always be 2nd favourites in that fixture.
Before that game we swept teams aside - the Leicester game was filled with brilliant attacking football. But for 2 silly defensive errors, we'd probably have won that a lot more comfortably.
Man United have been appalling.
West Ham rely almost exclusively on corners.
Even Chelsea have been dropping points, lucky for us and unlucky for the, they won't play us again this season.
Sad to say I cannot judge the window at all. I hope the two signings are successful but we somehow have fewer players to call on than the start of the window.
Overall I don't think it's been a bad transfer window, considering the majority of fans for a long time have wanted the likes of Ndombele, Dele, Lo Celso out of the club for a quite a while it's promising news. Clearly they were not wanted and must have been causing a few issues around the club so from outgoings I'm happy.
The two Juve players are good players, I'm sure they will add a lot to a first 11 which really isn't that bad. Apart from getting outplayed by Chelsea since Conte has arrived, on the whole the players who have been playing have been pretty good. You don't go 9 games unbeaten if you're a bad group of players.
It frustrates me the whole saga with Adama Traore as we'd been chasing the guy since last June and don't understand why we just didn't pay the money but hey ho it's not the end of the world.
The majority of clubs haven't over spent this January (apart from Newcastle) so I think the summer will be the time to judge.
'Rebuilds' or whatever people call them nowadays don't happen in two windows so it's promising. I do believe the club realised this by setting an example last summer when they took massive losses on Sissoko and Aurier.

Whenever people mention other teams transfers you hear ‘’don’t worry about them concentrate on us’’ but that is such a nonsense argument, we compete with United and Woolwich, if Woolwich sign Bissouma, Isak and Ruben Neves suddenly they are even with Conte as our manager favourites for top 4.
We are reliant on our new two players hitting the ground running given the amount of players we have sent out but if Conte at least trusts them it’s better than having players he doesn’t trust.
have to agree, over the years my support of Levy has declined. I'm not too happy about the way he seems to operate at times but weren't things like Nuno a Fabio appointment? Le Celso and Tanguy Poch? Not everything can be laid at his door... I'm all for calling him out but it needs to be mistakes he has made otherwise it's skewed.
I think for the first time, taking a hit on players is actually a sign he's listening. It remains to be seen what happens in the summer. It sounds like the sentiment from most fans is wait until then.
People are all assuming that Conte's only wish for the window was players coming in.
But we all know he doesn't like dossers.
Getting rid of them - out of sight, out of mind can help him concentrate on his useable players.
I saw some idiot on sky this morning saying Woolwich have no Europe so it won't hurt them letting all those players go.
Erm?

I agree. He's finally listening, or has delegated such decisions to Paratici who can work with Conte. I hope it stays this way. There's no room for sentimentality with underperforming overpaid players and I think we as a club have been guilty of it, and it's what delayed our painful rebuild.
We haven't taken a hit on any players yet.
TND will have to be on fire for Lyon for them to pay up.
Did GLC's loan have any kind of option?
Gil may well come back based on "good lucky, see you soon" on the announcement.
without injuries yes
Lol. The rapey vikings liked to borrow the best looking women from places they went for holiday, like Ireland.
I believe TND will end up going after his loan, but not for as much as what we want, same for Le Celso.
Pushing them out like this was for me, a massive statement. Even if they don't pull up trees, I think we've seen the back of them. Similar to Dele, not a great having unhappy players around.
Gil, that's a very different situation. He's making all the right sounds, looks to be an energetic, skilful and technically gifted player, just needs to mature and get a bit stronger. Would like to see him back next season.
The Danegeld ran along the bank of the River Lea. East of it was all Viking.
I can't bother to translate all (you have Google for that) but it basically says that Adama went to Barcelona during Christmas and that Jorge Mendes did the behind the scene work...
Looks as if Spurs were negotiating in vain as Mendes was just waiting for Barca to get their finances "together".
Laporta, clave en la cesión de Adama
Todo se hizo durante las Navidades y en la más estricta intimidad. Adama Traoré viajó a Barcelona para escuchar la oferta blaugrana y la propuesta deportiva a largo plazo que le iba a hacer su ex club. La operación venía trabajada a través de su agente, Jorge Mendes, pero Adama y su familia querían testar de primera mano lo que pensaba el club de él.
En el encuentro, con algún miembro del entorno familiar de Adama también, estuvo el presidente, Joan Laporta, quien convenció al futbolista para que regresara al Barça bajo unas condiciones muy favorables para el club. El encuentro, incluso, quedó inmortalizado con alguna fotografía, pero se guardó confidencialidad.
La operación fue avanzando y el Barça decidió apretar la tecla en la última semana de mercado cuando ya existía el convencimiento absoluto de que Dembélé no iba a seguir en el club. Todo estaba atado y bien atado y la operación acabó de firmarse en un par de días. A Adama le han dejado claro que su apuesta no es solo de seis meses sino que se cuenta con él para el futuro. No hay muchos extremos en el mercado y el Barça cree que en el Camp Nou puede seguir creciendo.

Lets see how this pans out and if Mendes feels he owes us…
