January Transfer Thread 2024

[yes]

I really like Naples. Does ANYONE else like it?

I went once as a kid and thought it was great. But I also went to Skegness as a kid and thought it was great.

So my opinion might be invalid.

Like Skeggy too....

Levy licking his lips at fucking Chelsea over as he hates them so much. I can’t see it this window though. There’s no value there.

I'm one of the few who, would like him to come here, but I don't think this is happening either.

The city, itself, is mostly a crap hole with pockets of affluence like Chiaia.
Probably my least favorite city in Italy.

Some lovely spots along the Bay of Naples though.
Positano is my particular favorite.

Not too much to gainsay about your post, except for the second paragraph. Not having another CB wasn't the reason we dropped points, it was primarily our profligacy up front.

Against both Villa and West Ham we should have been out of sight. Against Chelsea it was because we had 2 players sent off and another 2 key players injured. There's 9 points that had absolutely nothing to do with missing an additional CB. That's mostly on our frontline.

If you look at results (and goals conceded) in games without VDV and Romero, I don’t accept your argument that it’s not had a tangible impact on results and cost us points.

Were we profligate? Yes.

Could we be profligate and win with a better back 4? Very possibly.

For direct evidence we conceded to a Villa CB because a 5,10 full back was marking him. You can’t argue not having a proper 3rd CB wouldn’t have impacted those games.

Anyway, we can have a right royal cunt-off about this after the game if you fancy. For now, enjoy this evening mate and let’s hope for a HUGE win for the lads and few mins for VDV and some youngsters.

COYS.

That Gallagher deal is definitely one to watch, that one will go down to the end of the window.

If we bought Gallagher the Chelsea fanbase would go into total meltdown. Him and Palmer are their team.

 

[NotThatTedHughes]

Like Skeggy too....

Last vacation with my parents was a week at Butlins, Skegness.
I was 12 and it was my third holiday ever.

 

[Airfixx]

Goals are not expectations

Yes... I'm well aware of that.

 

[StripiestPilot]

Are there any others that play close to how Ange plays? The inverted fullbacks, extremely high defence line etc?

If there are, who?

City play like

Absolutely disagreed.
FFS go back and watch our actual spending after we moved to new stadium....

It is outdated clichee that we don't spend money under Levy which has been proven wrong in hundreds of posts.
For years now, issue has been QUALITY of spending, not QUANTITY. And recently, we have also gotten quality much better levels.

But if you are a hammer then all you see is nails. So if you only live to shit on Levy then that is what you do (this last bit is only directed at TomH not Pilot...)

I totally agree that we have spent big money since we moved to the new stadium, I just don’t think that Levy is still sitting on the Kane money. He was expecting to sell Kane all summer and he spent accordingly. Whatever we spend now will be new funds.

... and hopefully into the next centuary.

Like palmer better....no bun..

 

[Shotgunofmichalebrow]

Who the fuck would want to go to Naples.

When you could live in North London.

If you're on 60k a week there's not much difference where you live.

 

[Airfixx]

Letting Dragusin go to Napoli will be my final straw with Daniel Levy.

LOL

Meaning you'll do what exactly?

 

[GDG]

Dragusin starts for Genoa.

 

[Shadydan]

Wonder how Poch would feel about that to?

 

[Starks]

Dragusin starting really does mean fuck all

We played Kane in a fucking friendly

 

[MVP]

If we're going to drop points. Those below us will.

Who do you realistically see gaining points on us and overtaking us?

West Ham? Brighton? Man Utd?

Any of those could do it, all it takes is a bad run of form from us which is more than possible.

No it's not.

The entire run was a fluke. From needing a draw away at the Nou Camp, to PSV making a block on an Inter Milan player in the last minute to prevent a goal which saw us through, to the late VAR decision against City, being 2-0 down to Ajax with 45 minutes to go and winning 2-3.

That doesn't mean it wasn't a great achievement.

Yes it is, we got the results and the bit of luck that was needed, the players and the manager did a hell of a job and deserve all the credit in the world.

Scraping a top four place on relegation form deserves fuck all credit.



And then proceeded to go on a run of 14 points from 12 games and on course for 13th place...

It was obvious they didn't hire Mourinho for quality of performance. It was Tottenham pretending to be a big club and thinking that hiring a results manager would bring results.



We were on course for 13th with Pochettino in charge.

The mistake wasn't sacking Pochettino, he deserved it. The mistake was hiring Mourinho in the first place.

In November? Only having lost 3 games? Did you give a fuck about finishing 6th. If we don't finish in the CL should Ange be sacked?

 

[Tomo]

Wonder how Poch would feel about that to?

His captain, sold against his wishes. Can’t imagine that would be a happy situation.

 

[Spursidol]

No Dier in the squad tonight ........ legs to the Bayern rumours ?

Or just ensuing room on bench for youngsters Dorrington, Phillips and the unexpected return of Sessegnon ?

 

[MVP]

"People"? Only speak for yourself... There's a good chap.

Yes people.I don't need to speak only for myself I didn't say I was speaking for Airfixx

Ultimately; I couldn't give a fuck who does our trf business so long as our signings improved significantly compared to what they were a few years ago.

They have.

Yet repeatedly you're not even prepared to acknowledge that much.

I have acknowledged that much but now we have a different regime.
