Kounde is a very talented player but he is also extremely short. It’s a big handicap for a center back.

If we play with 3Cb I can see it. But there’s no way we would play with 2 with one of them being 1,78m.

To see pre season training pics of Lamela and Moura is soul destroying. Its hardly been a blistering start on ins and outs has it. Standard.

Gazzinaga, Bale, and Rose gone and one or two academy players.

Nuno and Paratici started one week ago, but you expect players signed, sealed and delivered in the middle of the Euro's.

When was the last time we signed a player this early and without at that time a manager?

FFS mate get real.

Dunno, but the womens team have signed two players....and Palace have signed someone...
 
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.

Up until gameweek 20 last season; we had the 2nd best defensive record in the league. But sure, our defence is terrible right?

By gameweek 30 we dropped to 4th best; and by end of season 6th.

Our decline in form affected the whole team. Harry and Son's goals dried up and our form plummeted. Teams quickly figured out that we weren't able to transition play through midfield. So they simply marked Kane and Son out of the game and packed midfield; leaving us to playing long ball bingo.
 
No clear out is happening. There will be a couple in a couple out but no major changes. That's why Nuno is here. He will tolerate that when other managers won't.

Another year of Winks doing fuck all beckons.

Sure, we would all like a lot of players gone; but in this current Covid market; nobody is buying players; everybody wants loans.

Quite simply any new coach would have been told that they need to make do with the majority of the current squad.

Rodon, Skipp, Sess, Lo Celso (if fit) will bring some fresh energy to the squad.

PEH is a beast who is getting better; and with Skipp will have opportunity for rotation.

I am sure that any new coach would have been asked how they would get the best out of Ndombele.

Dele Alli looks in his best shape ever and motivated.

Doherty was excellent under Nuno at Wolves.

If fit, Lamela will be like a new signing.

Yet other teams are doing business. The 3 you mention, 2 were out of contract and Foyth was agreed last summer. Whose fault is it that we only appointed a manager a week ago? But hey you're right, let the big boys do their business first, its not like going to the shops to buy something, other clubs moving goalposts, dont want to do a Leeds.
 

Basically - Kounde is our first choice and we'll pay 50M

Skriniar is plan B.
Exactly, there’s no way in hell we are paying £50m for this guy..or any defender ever again after £42m for Sanchez, we will be trying to get Anderson or Vestergaard for £15m + CCV! We’re shopping in Aldi these days!!

You realise this fabled Xg that everyone goes on about works for goals conceded too, right? We were scoring more than we should, and conceding less than we should in those 20 games.
You only need to watch the games to see how often the likes of Dier, Dave, Davis et all were making a fucking hash of defending but somehow the opposition didn't score.
