Come on you're more clever than this.
He wants what will inflate the club's asset value the most, for no investment from ENIC themselves. It's as plain as the nose on our faces. This is "best" for the owners but NOT the fans.

One positive thing I will say about Levy is that he's probably the world's most successful pyromaniac.

lol, and people call negative posters gooners .. fuck me.
This is where it’s at. Play down the potential of the club (which is huge btw) and advocate for keeping us in the mud with this shit manager and crap board.
This is the post of someone who has contempt for the club and thinks we should all be happy with what we have. And it oozes (to a lesser degree, you’re very obvious) out of every post from people who have supported this shitshow for years.
It seems some people just can't handle the fact they've been so wrong about someone for so long. Blind denial sets in.
Reminds me of a guy that used to drink with us every Saturday night.
For years it was common knowledge his missus had been screwing around like a good 'un
We'd all been there ouselves for a dabble. Each and everyone of us.
We'd even be sat round the table supping away and she'd have her hand under the table massaging the balls of the geezer sat next to her and he was totally oblivious. Smiling away and joining in the convo.
This was years ago. Funny thing is though I bumped into them in Asda a couple of months ago. They're still together
I may be wrong here, but I'm pretty sure that EVERY club in that list (apart from us) have won their respective Leagues/and or Major European honours in the last 20-25 years! (or since we've had ENIC)
Except US!
Our figures just don't add up to everyone else's spending power & success!
...we really are a class apart!!
Just because he is doing things to increase the value of the investment, doesn’t mean that those things can’t also be good for the club.
Both increased investment value and club betterment can be true at once.
Was signing Solanke at £65m or signing Chris Wood for £15m to increase the value of the investment, or was it to try to make the football team better?
I know Conte is now a reviled figure in this place, but he is the only manager since Poch who has ever had us looking like the club were about to take the next step. Fourth, CL qualification, playing really well at the time.
Levy’s reaction to a lack of success is a lack of investment, and his reaction to success like that was shown to be a lack of investment. If you are Levy and see Conte succeeding with what he’s got, why spend more?
Currently has Napoli 2nd in the table as well.
Perhaps both our managers from that season will meet in the CL next year as the boss of ‘lesser’ clubs
Last time I checked we werent in the FA cup QFs and were having bother beating mighty Tamworth.
Whats your point you illiterate pea brained Gooner cunt
Come on mate, enough now. There really is nowhere left to hide what Levy and ENIC have done.
Yeah the likes of Solanke are the classic shit the club pulls.
On the surface, ambition. In reality, a relatively low wage player. They’d never spend that fee or more on a player who would also command 150k+ a week.
The Solanke signing btw coming a whole season after we lost the best striker in the world who was on triple the wages.
Johnson, Solanke etc - relative high fees but nice low wage bill and supplement with some children. Call it ambitious squad building and point to transfer fees invested.
ITS A SCAM.
Well exactly. Solanke after selling Kane was a £35m profit plus £5m+ a year wages saved. And for all his reasonable merits, a huge downgrade.
Watch the Son replacement be pathetic as well.
It’ll be some kid for a relatively high fee, or some domestic mid table player who is decent for 50-60m but commands 1/3 of the wage a Son would and has nowhere near the potential.
Losing two bonafide world class players and replacing them with Brennans or Solanke’s and we’re meant to see this as ambition .. meanwhile the wage bill shrinks ever smaller.
Every Levy "big signing" is a player who seems to him to be a bargain, whom they think they can get on low wages. That's the only circumstance under which he's willing to pay a big transfer fee.
And as everyone but Daniel Levy knows, there's a reason why players like Ndombele or Richarlison or Solanke etc are available at what seems like a bargain rate. Because there's a club anxious to be rid of that player, the player is below the notice of big clubs, or both.
When lesser clubs are anxious to be rid of a player or when big clubs consider that player below their standard, perhaps instead of being in a rush to buy on the cheap, Levy should be asking why that player is good enough for us.
Ndombele was probably the only high risk high potential signing we’ve made. Good wage and fee, high ceiling. We sort of had to do it after making a CL final and having not spent a penny for fucking years on the squad.
And somehow the club completely fucked it by deciding to take that plunge on a player with documented attitude issues .. now we will never do it again.
Ok. Thought we were having a good debate. I’ll leave it. Someone who sees shades of grey will be along sometime. Maybe.
Sell Harry Kane for £100 million
Replace him as our No1....12 months later.....with England's 5th choice striker.
Yeah..Definitely the sign of a club with sporting ambition
Solanke is a West Ham level signing
He certainly wasn't a statement signing.Sell Harry Kane for £100 million
Replace him as our No1....12 months later.....with England's 5th choice striker.
Yeah..Definitely the sign of a club with sporting ambition
Solanke is a West Ham level signing
I do like him though, even if he's a big of a Chris Armstrong.
