....But your plan would require us to take on massive bank loans (even if we 'saved up over' time, at no point in time was there a billion just sat in the coffers begging to be spent!) and break FFP in the process and subsequently sacrificing the additional income in the longer term; the same income that is factored in when serviceing said loans.

What happens then if the above spend-frenzy doesn't lead to a title (a very real possibility given the wealth we're competing against)...

You're condoning mortgaging the future of the club on the hope of the stars aligning.


I understand that many find the financial end of things boring (#NotMyMoney :sigh: ), but there's no escaping it as soon as anyone brings up a matter that requires us to spend money....

JUST GET THE DEAL DONE FFS WHATS SO HARD TO UNDERSTAND

I'm genuinely curious if these fans screaming for 'PAY WHAT THEY WANT - THEN TIP' etc. are the type of people that drive around in leased BMWs with maxed out credit cards paying 2 grand a month rent for a 2 bedroom flat.

Levy is my fucking hero. Literally love what he has done with the club.

You've gone from this.
'Atletico: Won La Liga recently... As much as it pains me to say it last pot we won was the Mickey Mouse in 08. #NewChallenge '

To this.

That's a long way from the answer you first gave, I originally pulled you up because you said the league cup was mickey mouse, As for AM they've gone long periods without winning la liga the other two clubs are fighting for the league year in and year out, that's where he would want to go as opposed to taking a sideway step.

- How many teams challenged for the title in the EPL last season?
- You think the top 6 will all be in the title mix next season?

Regardless, stop being fake-news about it... I listed a number of clubs... Not just AM...... I stand by my point about their stature regardless and the broader point that my comments were part of.

But I refute that all those clubs on the list will appeal to him though, also there might be several coaches of clubs on that list that might decide he isn't a decent fit no matter if he was free but we were talking about this transfer window anyway not next summers.

"Maybe, maybe, maybe"... At least you're not stating things as fact now. Progress.

[Not at 80 million and not at the rumoured 130 million price tag for prem clubs.

You KNOW what these clubs budgets and targets are this summer (and next)?

I don't (and you don't either!).

Yeah of course, but the whole team were firing on all cylinders then.
I'm just a very long way from being able to criticise possible our biggest ever legend in the making mid way through his career.
I don't know - maybe if there were forums for the 65/66 season, Greaves would have been criticised for his 15 in 29, rather than his 35 & 37 in 41 games 2-3 years ago.

I’m a long way off slagging off the full backs because Kane is knackered/injured/off form

It is what it is.....legend or not, if he’s playing like shit, he’s playing like shit and I won’t hold Trippier, Dier or anyone else accountable than Kane and Poch for not dropping him.

Not really.

Spurs fans have seriously over estimated the the role of the full back.
An important role, no doubt, but people have gone completely loopy about it.
Is Mendy and Walker two of the best footballers in the world?
Robertson and Arnold world class?
Would you break the bank for Azpilucueta? I don’t even know who their LB is....
Are Utd and Scums RBs coveted by the best teams? How about the LBs? Who are they even?

Can you name (WITHOUT Google) the five best LBs of all time in your view?
Strikers, CBs and CMs come easier dont they.....

Remember Bale was moved from LB and consequently became world class.

People are delusional if they think a RB makes Kane play well, and you can put Wan Bissaka or Marcelo or whoever you want in our full back slots, and I’m sorry, Dele won’t have a better touch or vision, and Eriksen won’t be more committed.

So in short, no they aren’t on drugs in Italy, they just probably appreciate and stead fast dedicated footballer, who has one of the best deliveries and touches in the PL, wont cost the earth and will give you 200% every time he pulls the shirt on.
 
After a whirlwind 700 odd pages this thread is now slowly coming to a grinding halt, and in similar circumstances to the rotation of the Earth, if it actually stopped I predict volcanic eruptions, tsunamis, and all round mass destruction as the locals go to war and eventually eat themselves.
