strikers- kane, son

cb- romero, rodon, sanchez, dier, tanganga, davies
rb- emerson, tanganga, doherty
lb- reggie, davies, sessegnon
gk- lloris, gollini

thats not bad, probably a quality CB and a quality CM short, but as long as we dont get destroyed by injuries we are looking alright.

that CM is woeful for a whole season and Son isn’t a striker apart from that you’ve got it spot on.
 
I suppose the cold analysis is, we're probably a 5 or 6 club right now, and with Traore and a backup striker or midfield replacement... we'd probably still only be 5th.

But a backup striker could have propelled us in some of the cup competitions at least. That's where I think we truly missed out.
 
I hope I'm right and if I am I'm doing this to the lot of you at the end of the season...

I hope you are right too

Although the swearing will really upset me

:nunothumb:
 
:dierpochhug:

I would also like to add my own little bit of negativity when I say that I don't reckon we'll get anyone in today, including Emerson, because that smarmy fuck Aurier won't fucking go anywhere.

Just my opinion lol
The Absolute GOAT The Absolute GOAT Just gonna say prepare for me to have a full blown meltdown in the next few minutes.
I'll fully accept the dislikes. I'm just so angry with Spurs rn
 
The last bit is utter rubbish. With the benefit of hindsight you can always compile a better window of players.
Is it? I'm not talking hindsight my man I'm talking about contemporaneous evaluation. We pay more in protracted recruitments for lesser players. I criticized the GLC and Ndom deals when they were happening becuase I felt we were a year too late and the money was too high. And I like both those players...just not at those numbers. The prices make them too crucial.
The reality is we're in the position we are the last few windows because 2 clubs, Liverpool and Leicester, have shopped in the same price range as us and been very successful at it whilst we've signed fucking donkies.
OK, so what was our excuse the windows prior to that then? Bc from where I'm sit it seems the same old same old.
Its consistently overpaying for players who underproduce thats fucked us.
And who is at fault here then?
The scouting has held us back waaaaaay more than Levy's restraining the budget.
Isn't this the exact point I made to you in my post? Instead of shooting into crowds we could do a better job of talent ID. But every season when we wait until the end of the window to do business it's just a reaffirmation of the fact that recruitment is opportunistic and not focused. You need a MFer? Here's Moussa Sissoko. Now you have a MFer.
We'd have probably just bought more donkies if we spent more.
Again, who is at fault here then? So why you keep defending your boy?

edit: glad you got the Tanto reference. Obvs couldn't be more explicit.
 
I’m hearing the letter M the number 9 and the colour blue from sauces.

Its pretty much nailed on we are getting Mbappe as cover for Kane.

Think about it. levy wouldn’t fuck up a transfer window.
