It’s funny how most clubs seem to buy players in before they sell & that’s how we know that player X is potentially moving
See, I don't disagree with the point you are making here, this is valid, I just don't like when people constantly move the goalposts for what we should consider failure.
Summer 2022 should be the line in the sand, if we haven't made huge improvments to the squad at that point then I don't see how Levy or ENIC can have any more excuses, it shouldn't fall on the DOF either because ultimately, he was hired by the chairman, therefore, the failure should be on Levy's shoulders, I don't want any BOJO buck passing from Levy.
I do however disagree it has nothing to do with Levy, I think he holds us back as a chairman, he likes the thrill of the deal too much and doesn't allow people to do their jobs, he's a megalomaniac imo, obviously this paragraph is all opinion on my part though, I could be wrong.
As for the bolded, you and me both, this is a prime opportunity to seize, Conte has worked wonders for us but this squad isn't strong enough for a top four push without signings this window imo.
If we'd signed Traore for a knock down fee on deadline day you'd have been all over it like a fly over shit claiming what a fantastic signing it was and what an astounding piece of by brinkmanship "Don Levy"
Don't even bother lying to claim otherwise. We can all see through your shite now, matey, just as we can see through Levy's
Why you bringing "minutia" into all this?
(Afterall, other clubs weren't in any way central to my point)
Was Romero "the cheapest available"?
Reguillon?
Gil?
Sessengon?
Ndombele?
Lo Celseo?
Sanchez?
Sissoko?
Lamela?
Soldado?
All circa £30m or more over the last 7/8 years........ Not one of them was the "cheapest available".
(Whether you rate them is irrelevant....)
By the same token is the £15m-£25m bracket somehow beneath us now too? ..........I mean that would render the now much mourned Traore beneath us anyway, so who'd give a fuck about him, right?
When Poch took over.
For someone to be screwed we need someone to screw.
3 things.
1. “I hate it when people move the goalposts, but we can’t judge until the summer” is a hilarious contradiction.
2. On where the goalposts are for failure, we’re through the goal, out the back of the stand and halfway to Hertfordshire on the A10.
3. To again quote Conte directly: “To think this can be fixed in one transfer market is not realistic, but there has to be a place to start. Even if it is not the best opportunity, we need to do something.”
I have watched him play a lot for Colombia. He goes all out. No lack of effort ever.
Are we converting him to RWB?
Who is that clown?
Oh trust me, I am judging from this window, if Levy fails to get anybody in this window then it's a complete failure, the manager has said he wants players in, that's really all there is to it.
What I am saying is, if we don't get a squad overhaul in the summer that makes us truly competitive then Levy has nowhere left to hide, seriously, that will be it for many, not just the people like me who already want him gone.
I think even neutrals, fence sitters or people who like him as a chairman will have a change of tune at that point because there really is no excuses left.
think he was the guy who broke the news, i dont know mybe
Nabil Bentaleb
knows who he is
Lets start at the beginning again....
You said you were "shocked" that there had not been "offers" for the players you listed.
I asked you how you'd ensure there WERE offers/buyers....... You've failed to answer this.
By all means mourn the fact that these players are clogging up the wage bill, but loaning them out to clubs that can't afford to buy nor pay them will get us nowhere in the longer term.
Let's not start a straw-man, eh.....
Sending them out on loan so that they can get minutes and put themselves in the shop window is exactly how they get sold in the long term.
Hmm....I sure someone here said one in and one out
