We will make the top four again like we have for the last three seasons
Hardly ‘dissolving’
Of course. Arent you aware that signing players means nothing whatsoever. Youre more likely to win the league without out anyone and a squad value of 5 grand than splashing out 200 mil.
Whats wrong with you fella?
Justify what, you're upset that we haven't signed anyone, i'd have like a couple of signings but we didn't do it. It's not a reason to lose your shit about Levy/Enic. Look where we are now compared to 10 years ago or even 5 years ago. Lets see how the season goes, if we're in the bottom half by xmas then maybe you'll have a reason to be upset.
That Levy and Poch both seem to be control freaks doesn't help either. Not to mention they already have a lot of responsibilities regarding business and the first team respectively. So getting a Sporting director/director of football to handle the lion's share of scouting, recruitment of players and sales would also allow them to focus more on their other endeavors.
just cos nathan wants them, doesnt mean pochettino did
Mate I agree.
I think however that the acid test is how we perform in the crucial first few games.
We have a squad full of world cup semi-finalists and don't forget playing is training, so whilst some will be leggy, most will not need a full pre-season.
I guess my view is one of shock but also this is what it is. Lets show the spendthrifts once again but yep, it's high risk starting Saturday without many of our best.
Bold statement but we got our work cut out. Its obviously a very real danger that we don't. Remove the Spurs spectacles.
we tried that and signed chirices (or howver you spell it)
Yea I definitely think there is a player in there too.
Barca is a bit weird- has been a lot of definite talent that went there yet never really made it there.
Not making it at Barca definitely does not mean you are a bad player by any means.
Silva should be a good coach for him too.
Everton definitely improved this window.
NW1Spur "How about if he's still here in September I have to have an avatar of 1970's fat Elvis, and if he isn't, you have to have an avatar which states "NW1Spur is a genius"? And the avatars have to be kept 1 year. Deal?"
Soooo close to September. Technically Lamela could still drop dead of a heroin overdose before 1 Sept and you'd win the bet, but man am I feeling confident.
:soldadowatch:
I think a casual observer will conclude someone with an Elvis avatar is the King of pundits, as I pretty much predicted Lamela signing a new contract meant the club weren't having any luck getting their targets over the line and we'd probably not be signing anyone.
Lamela gets a lot of people to do his talking for him off the pitch but it's time he did it on the pitch and having some more aggro with Wilshere or Fabregas isn't enough anymore.
I see he's got another "minor" muscle injury so god knows when he'll play again anyway.
In theory it makes perfect sense, but our track record with DOF's isn't the best.
But it's all part of Poch's masterplan, surely. He's clearly delighted
OFC but that doesn't mean a new sporting director cannot get the work done.
I’d be even more cheesed off if I’d done the same and ended up sitting next to a cunt like you
its a real danger every year. weve only qualified for it 4 times since it started.
Harry Winks has played more top level football, including CL than N'Dombele. He has 37 more Premiership appearances.
Ruben Neves has never played in the Premier League either.
You're talking utter fraff.
Harry Winks is far, far more proven than Ligue 1 fodder and Championship/Primeira Liga fodder.
