Nice to see the odd pretty face amongst all the gloomy despair
But we didn't spend any money
Me sending you my sunbathing pics was a one-off, OK?
(Glad you appreciated them though.)
I 100% agree. Yet it looks to me like we are going to ignore it once again. I swear the majority of our problems are caused by our substandard midfield.
So not a "waste of money", is all I was saying.
I kinda waffle on my assessment of both KWP and PEH.
yeah people seem to think a couple of somewhat competent CBs are going to transform our fortunes
I don't see it
We need to find balance according to whatever system/formation we end up playing.... it might be that we need to buy a 'missing piece' for the puzzle but PEH/Skipp/Gio/Ndom isn't a crap pool to pick from in itself.
There's been plenty of rumoured interest in MFs but it's hard to second guess our true intentions when we don't know how Nuno's gonna set up.
We DO know however that we need to upgrade at CB regardless.
Duh its Levy....Buying players period. Thats the dream bit.
Has the womens team not got a specific thread ? If so can the mods move this to where the people interested can find it. I'm not interested, but it feels like a snide unnecessary dig here(at Levy ). Sure that was not the intent.
43 year olds aren't supposed to play any professional sports at a high level other than maybe golf. Are you suggesting that 43 year old QBs are expected to take a team to the Super Bowl?
Regarding Ronaldo - he just scored 5 goals in 4 apps in the Euros. He also just scored 36 goals for Juventus last season. Both more than Kane. If you think he's past it, I can guarantee you he'd walk in and be our best player.
No offence but given the amount of off topic crap that will fill up the circa 2000 pages of this thread by the beginning of September, these 'no women allowed' objections are really very petty.....
No its not. We have had this conversation and lots of forum members do not follow the womens team. Happy you care but lots of us don't. Just branding a F1 car spurs will not create an emotional attachment. I think you are just trolling the lack of signings and its mean spirted towards womens game.
Quick feet and looks like he plays with his head up. Promising looking player.
Tom Brady is in exceptional physical fitness and unyieldingly dedicated to his sport. To the point of true obsession. The man goes to bed at 9PM and wakes up at 6AM every single day, despite being fabulously wealthy and married to an actual supermodel. He micromanages his diet, exercise, and recovery at a level far beyond what almost anyone else does.
That said, he's a horrible athlete in the physical sense. He's not fast at all, nor agile. His only physical skill is throwing a ball - many baseball pitchers and cricket bowlers have played well into their 50s. Brady's position places very little in the way of additional physical demands on him than these two positions - he moves in the pocket at most several feet while 5 giant men protect him. His job is at least 85% mental.
Furthermore, the rules of the sport have been massively overhauled in the past 20 years to minimize the chances of Brady being pummeled by opposing defenders, should they actually reach him before he gets rid of the ball.
What Tom Brady does is in no way, not even minutely, comparable to the physical demands of playing in the PL - much less in an attacking position where you're required to run, at a full spring in intervals, several miles each match. The only comparison you could even try to advance, and it would be only slightly less absurd, would be of Pirlo at the very, very end. And anyone who thinks that version of Pirlo would have been a PL difference maker is, quite simply, fucking high.
I would take Ronaldo, of course I would. We can't afford him, and he wouldn't even consider us, so its a moot point. But even if we signed him, we wouldn't be title contenders. We'd be not much different than the Porto team that he's played in this summer. Not much different to Bale's last season here. A mediocre squad surrounding one other worldly gem.
It takes 11, you know?
Brilliantly logically laid out.
Real Madrid are apparently also after Kounde. If true, well, we all know the outcome...

El Tottenham y el Real Madrid, si vende a Varane, principales candidatos para hacerse con Koundé
El central galo también gusta mucho al Manchester United, pero su compatriota defensor del cuadro madridista es su principal opción

Careful. You guys are treading mighty close to the "It's Jose's Anti-footballs fault, line."
People truly believed it was the team setup and Jose's inability to get the most out of "Gareth Bale, Dele Alli, Dier, Sanchez........... , that was our undoing.
Meanwhile, back at the ranch, we don't have one defender that would walk into a Man City, Liverpool ...... He'll, even a Leicester or West Ham team.
