Evidence that negative reinforcement of new threads works!This is one of the most disciplined message boards about not starting new threads for every stray thought I’ve ever seen tbf
10: Not selling Kane when it was clear that his heart was elsewhere. We will get barely any money for a rebuild when he leaves in the summer.
Because Florentina would have liked the cash, worst that would have happened is being gazumped but Juv where not reported to be interested in him back then and I have never read him not liking us, he was lower profile back then.
1. yes1. Appointing Nuno
2. Pressurising Nuno to play 4-3-3 even though 3-4-3 suits our team better. Made even worse by the fact Paratici must have known that after Nuno, Conte/ Potter were two priority alternatives both of whom play 3 atb.
3. Buying players such as Emerson that suit 4 atb but not 3 atb. Now he has no use; we could have bought a RWB from the summer.
4. Finding money that NEARLY seals big deals such as Lautaro and Diaz. But then immediately forgetting about that cash when considering alternatives that we actually execute.
5. Bidding for players who don't start for their club, such as Kulusevski and Amarabat. This is nearly always a bad idea, unless there's special circumstances.
I think if we had planned for 3-4-3 since August, we could have built a good team .
The RWB options in transfer market are actually better than RB options.
Why do people post in threads they have no interest in?
Firstly I want to say that I like you as a poster and despite our very different views on ENIC we haven’t clashed at all on this site.There was no Kane funded rebuild on offer..... Please let the myth die. As has been proven by what Juve just spent on Vlahovic it would have barely funded another ST and that's it.
It wouldn't have even funded the inferior Lukaku...... Or brought us Martinez.

However, you are taking the pro ENIC rumours as gospel, City offered a pathetic amount of money and we said no. What about Pep’s claims that Levy wouldn’t even pick up the phone to discuss a potential transfer? What about Kane’s gentleman’s agreement with Levy that wasn’t honoured? I’m not saying every rumour against ENIC is true, nor am I saying everything ENIC has ever done has been poor, but there is zero evidence to back up what I said is a “myth” . We should have said beginning of the window Kane is for sale for £120m, clubs have 2 weeks to reach an agreement or he is off the table. If we couldn’t reach a deal then so be it, not having this ordeal drag on into the season. I believe a deal could have been done that was reasonable for all parties.
because without paying them so much you'd still have GLC and ndombelè right now in the squadComplaint number 6:
Why are we paying (if Kulu meets obligation conditions) more for Kulu and Bentancur than Juve did originally?
They have flopped at Juve, so surely we should get them at a discounted price?
Imagine if we were able to sell GLC or Ndombele at a greater fee than we bought them!
We just have with Ndombele. The option to buy is €65m, that's a profit of €5m on what we paid for him.Complaint number 6:

That option 100% won’t be taken.We just have with Ndombele. The option to buy is €65m, that's a profit of €5m on what we paid for him.
You seem very adept at melting at stuff before it's actually happened.That option 100% won’t be taken.
However it is possible that we buy Kulu for the quoted price; as there are conditions to make it obligatory (min appearances or top 4)
Lyon are not going to pay 65 million euros for Ndombele- that is for sure.You seem very adept at melting at stuff before it's actually happened.
I would prefer ENIC invest in our club, but as they don't we have budget restrictions that mean overpaying for certain players will reduce our ability to spend money elsewhere.I don't give a fuck how much we are paying for Kulusevski, why do you?
No, it's not for sure, you are guessing. There's no problem in taking a guess, we all have to speculate most of the time because we're not party to details, I've no issue with that but that's what it is, a guess. It's not for sure or a certainty.Lyon are not going to pay 65 million euros for Ndombele- that is for sure.

Unless Lyon get taken over by mega-rich owners by this summer; there is no chance Aulas pays 65 million euros for Ndombele. I would bet any amount of money I had on that.
I am using the value that Juventus paid for him. We're paying more than they did- and he flopped at Juventus. That doesn't make much sense.
