He's a proper nothing player one of those names that seems to be there just to make up the numbers.
...but now it will be priced by tribunal, which it seems they were trying to avoid... Plus there is now more time for other clubs to get involved (in summer I mean). It's a fuck up - happens to all clubs from time to time - only a minor fuck up, but a fuck up nonetheless.
It feels like a doomed charge leading to another summer of immense, foundational uncertainty at the club.
Exactly. Haven’t given him the tools to expect top 4. Which is fine if we say we are happy with 6th place type of finishes & no cups Personally if that’s the case then I’d rather move on from levy/enic. I’ll risk those 6th places for more success.
Pussy. You should check begotten out if you think that omen kid is hardcore
People wanted them replaced though, great they're gone and off the wage bill, but that means fuck all if it's not invested back into the team. Where's the 60 million we offered for Martinez in the summer gone? Where's the 45 mil for Diaz gone?
They can never admit what the real, actual sporting ambitions of the club are, because it would topple the house of cards of their commercial ambitions.
I think we’re at least even odds with United and Woolwich and considering where we were when Nuno left, I’d call that a minor miracle.

where did you see the details for the Dele deal?Then you don't understand his Game. He doesn't want a League winning team. It's to expensive. It becomes more of a Liability. Look at the profit Figures. TFC is one of the highest. Don't only look at income vs expenses, look at assest growth as well. Having the massive beautiful expensive stadium improves his share values. Spending on expensive players is a liability. Greater capital outlay and greater salary bill. He is at optimum earning just making it to top four with a squad that costed him peanuts. Winning a League is more for pride, and entertainment. The cost of Bragging rights is high. Not Levy's cup of tea.
Agreed. Sort of manager who could fight & scrap us to 4th somehow. Imagine if we gave him better players. So 6th would be realistic this season but as he is a competitor & aims high, he will be disappointed with that. We need a chairman/owners who have the same attitude as him.
And let’s make another thing clear.
Agree with this as well. Yes it’s fine if you happy with 6th & no cup whilst paying sky high prices . Good for you. But I want to try for more.
Again, opinion. You entitled to it.I actually think with some of our previous failed transfers you could be right - but not these two. Those players clearly already had their hearts set on Barca / Liverpool. Choose your battles mate - you're flogging a dead horse here as you're trying to apply a point that's probably valid for some previous transfer to these two recent ones where all indications are that it simply isn't valid. Honestly, people will respect and listen to you more if you stick to criticising where its undeniable rather than just criticising everything and hoping that some of it sticks (and that no one will notice the logical flaws - no chance of that around here... lol).
