Have you seen much of him Blakey? As I've said, I haven't so my question is over his consistency rather than his ability. What I have seen of him shows that he definitely has the ability, but he seems to drift in and out of games. I only have a small sample pool of that though, so I don't really know.

CP are a bit of a flakey side at times. One minute they're turning over teams with aplomb, the next they're getting eviscerated. Is he part of that issue, or is it happening around him regardless of how well he's playing?

I think he’s a pretty consistent performer, who would look even better in a proactive team.

As an 8, I’d like to see him work a bit harder/smarter without the ball, but that can be coached, and that’s my only gripe with him really.

You clearly do not understand finance.

The FC belongs to......? ENIC + Levy. The Football team is only a portion of the FC finance.

Let's take Woolwich. Hypothetically speaking, let's say the value of the club is 10 billion. An amount 2 billion gets invested to Emirates Stadium, increasing cost but thereby increasing Asset Value, to not 12 billion but to 14 billion (If you don't live in cave, youll know fixed property escalates in value. And if you know property, you'll know Good renovation mostly increases value with more than the renovation cost). They invested the extra wealth into new players because they value winning.

Now if you have a Football Team worth 10 billion and you invest 2 billion into players, if you are extremely lucky or wise, the team will probably valued at very little more, say 10.2 Billion (Just look at how Gil, Ndombele, Spence, Winks...... Depreciated in value). Football players are not necessarily a cash cow. The better they play the higher salaries the players demand. We don't pay that much in salaries (Compared to other top 4), so if we finish top 4 our earnings is almost similar to that City but our players costed us way less. Why do you think we almost get to winning but we don't.

Furthermore older more experienced players are generally a liability. They start loosing value but their wages increases especially when bought at their peak. Levy doesn't operate like this. He buys young in the hope improvement. The youngsters cost less and earn less. They have to still prove themselves and are able to increase their values. This Levy Likes, hence our squad is what it is. Hence he didn't mind loosing Kane.

So when idiots like yourself say the TFC has increased in value, Yes it has. Since Levy is the owner, he is now richer. However the Football team, clearly has not seen the Growth. I hope you wake up someday. Until them I'll stand alone and say, "LEVY and ENIC OUT!".
