Annoying; but give it a year and see if he moves over to Juve very quickly.
I very much doubt this has anything to do with our failings, but is more down to Balde wanting some Monaco-tax-rate salary in a sunny part of the world playing for a team who have demonstrated they'll sell (in this case probably to Juve) for the right price.
If he came to us and did the business then we wouldn't be letting him go anywhere else anytime soon.
ochserious2:
Fucking memes.
And he doesn't like 19 at all. Only if each leg.
I'm not too concerned. He still is very raw, and will be likely to have chosen Monaco as a stepping stone.
What a load of shit
I swear if that paves a way for Lemar to join Liverpool or Woolwich...
People can criticise Levy all they want, I have a problem with people who make unrealistic demands of the club and accuse him of ruining our future. People who want us to compete with City and Chelsea with wages and transfers, and who want us to be in debt before they take us seriously.
I would have stopped supporting Spurs if Levy moved us to Stratford. Im sure all those would have lauded him for it we won the PL there though? Each to their own I guess.
I also find it hilarious that people think Poch and Kane are immune from critique, but the Burnley game is somehow Levys fault
Yes you are right, I don't know what goes on behind closed doors either. My suggestions on what may have happened or be the case, are exactly that.... 'suggestions' you seem to believe this is all poch but forget there are a lot of other people involved in getting deals done. If levy doesn't want to pay X then he won't and poch won't get his player, then onto the next target and so on. You forget the media drum up a lot of rubbish over it. A simple enquiry gets leaked and blown out of proportion. Eg Barkley. Sometimes an offer may get made and rejected but it isn't mentioned iinthe press.
Any manger who has any half decent man management ability won't sit there and criticise his squad and say anything like that. All I have heard him say is that they will buy players that will improve the team not that he needs X amount of players. A vague statement like that is exactly what mangers will give you.
Yeah, its funny, people get very sensitive if you criticise the wrong people Ive noticed.
I suppose you think our highline in the last 10 v Burnley was a fucking tactical masterpiece too
So in short, your guesses are more right than my guesses.
Ok mate nice one
How is my beloved Tennessee at present?:defoe:
just under 50 hours till jubilant surprises or 2015 levels of Berihino ( spelling ) meltdown.
Overall, whatever happens now, it's been an odd transfer window. Never in a million years expected 2 Centre backs & a keeper. Neither of those were immediately obvious areas of concern. Additions in midfield and attack yep, but it would seem Kevin and Vincent have the chance to go again, would never have thought that
Deadline day surprise of Benteke and Zaha ? I'd personally like to see a cheeky loan move for Di Maria..... but who the fuck knows. The whole thing is mental. Could end up with Adam Smith from Bournemouth yet !

Fair enough. If that scenario were to unfold without a trade off of any more of our top players I'll come on here and lick Levy's balls till the cows come home.
Now, can you give me an alternative scenario where you would be prepared to level some criticism at Levy and admit the transfer window has been a let down at best or shambles at worst?
The child of those two GIFs is either incredible or horrific.About to get wet.
But really more like this.
It will be a bit of a let down for me if 5 players leave and one comes in (outfield) as it stands now.
Poch is guilty of not using his full squad, even when he could give players a shot, and I was hoping to replace the fringe players with trusted improvements.
Sanchez seems a step up from Wimmer, but it will be extremely thin to continue as we are.
Not really sure how you can force our targets to join though, or clubs to sell. Id rather promote kids than panic buy, and to be honest, I wouldnt lose any sleep over it.
