Cross out the Doing a Leeds on the transfer window excuses bingo sheet
Come round early this time
The wage thieves are the two midfielders we have who are on double or triple Winks' salary and are either too injured or too lazy to get a game ahead of him.
I’m looking forward to seeing Romero back in the side. Will be interesting to see what remit he is given. He’s clearly very aggressive in terms of pushing up and looking to win the ball back, so perhaps his game will allow Skipp to push further forward.
I'm not sure that's the read. I'm not saying it's not (he might be off), but conte says he's looking at everyone, it just sounds like he's made his mind up on Winks already (that he's good enough).
I'm as surprised as anyone, but hard to argue that he's been much better recently. I'll be chuffed for the lad if he comes good. But fuck me, he's got some work to do.
Same for Tanguy, Hard to give up on him, but it's seemingly overdue. I'm hopeful, so I'd even be tempted to give him another pre-season to sort shit out. That's my final offer! Then he can have a few games in Aug and we can kick him if need be.
EDIT: I just read the 'I've done two months of evaluation' comments and seems likely Tanguy is on the chopping block. Not sure we'll get half what we paid for him, though, so maybe Conte will be forced to train him, in which case, I'll stick with my above comments.
TBF it's already been beaten to the post by the "melting over an Ali G tweet thread".
TRF window is fully GO!!!!
TN and GLC?
GLC is frankly astonishing in his lack of availability. If he (or Romero) play for national team before giving us at least a few games, I'll be livid.
Yes - but neither would leave or downgrade their wages. Winks was the easiest to shift to a newly promoted Champo team this summer.
I can't believe there are so many many of you that don't understand how businesses run.
This is a business, whether you or I like it or not. You would not run your own company this way. It wouldn't survive. Everyone knows the clubs that operate the other way aren't sustainable.
Of course I want us to buy players and spend money. But not at any cost. It should be earned. We need a few players to be able to compete for the cups. Anything else you need to be bought out and I don't want to win that way. If you do, perhaps this isn't the club for you to support.
None of them are easy to shift because none of them are very good.
But Winks has at least shown Conte that he is fit and ready to work hard. That is the first and most basic requirement. A manager like Conte would never choose to keep players like Ndombele and Lo Celso over him.
Legit some posters on here think we can get top 4 with this
LMFAO
Ndombele is 5 times the player Winks is
We have already seen that Skipp has been given more of a green light to push forward in the last few games, especially when Winks has been on the field as well. So I can only assume that he will be given more and more of an okay to do that as time goes on.
I don't think Conte will write off Gio until he actually sees him on the pitch. Yes someone always injured isn't reliable but I think he probably stays in Jan and the rest of this season is make or break.
I'd say the following are definitely gone in Jan in loan/ loan to buy deals:
- Rodon
- Doherty
- Dele
- Ndombele
And we will try to sign:
- RWB
- LCB
- Attacker
Maybe we get Kessie on a pre contract for the summer as well.
It's a bit concerning for me that we will probably not strengthen CM. We really only have Skipp and PEH that have proven they can play in a 2. Winks is fine in a 3 but if we ship out Dele and Ndombele who is the the 3rd creative option? Jury still out on Gio.

He has 5 times more talent but he's also 5 times as lazy. Just another Adel Taraabt.

Change your username to ‘midfielder’The sad thing about Ndombele situation is that he’s literally exactly the player we need, in terms of technical attributes.
He’s cost our club a lot of money and clearly doesn’t give 100% effort- an absolute disgrace.

Hopefully Lo Soso joins him.
Imagine if Jose was saying all this stuff about Winks
Between him and Lo Celso what a bollocks. Both of them came off great form for their clubs and countries and have good technical ability when we bought them.
Ndombele - his odd top cameos are great in how he just takes control of games but he only does it for 30-40 mins once every few games he plays.
Lo Celso - played so well for Jose at the start was our best player for a few months, then got injured an injured and injured yet always ready for Argentina. Seems unable to take care of his body.
Lo Celso and Ndombele could make it so that we don’t have to worry about buying midfielders with their talent, instead they are more like wage thieves.
