They have that money and are not scared of spending it. How much did they spend on Pepe, 75 mill? 50 mill on White etc. Kroenke opened the spending taps a few seasons ago without CL football on offer

Hmmmm all those players you named....there not shit Tarkowski is. Think about the ability blackhole that is the England centerbacks. Now think of all of the players even a coach as limited as Southgate has chosen before Tarkowski. Having had an actual look at him. People who suggest him can not have actually watched him very often. He is slow easily turned poor to react and has become oddly passive when marking. He makes Eric Dier look like Maldini. People who be hunting Levy like it was the Purge after a Tarkowski season. He is inferior to Davinson Sanchez in evert department

Agreed 100%

He’s a dime-a-dozen CB overrated because he can hit a standard diagonal and throws himself in front of the ball.

Yea he can keep defenses busy. And get lot of screen time. And does a lot of running.

But fuck me, he does not produce ANYTHING at all.
People were acting like he proved something with Crystal Palace game (where he was brilliant, I agree)...
And after that ?!? he has played 655 minutes of EPL football and scoring 0 goals giving 2 assists. That is 1 goal involvement in 327,5 minutes.
That is nothing.

Having Moura as part of front 3 is almost like playing with 10 men.

Some still did not believe me when I pointed his non existent contribution few months back.
And then Kulu arrived. And people suddenly understood that 3rd player of the attacking trio could and should pitch in as well. And some eyes were opened.

We need to improve and Moura (approcahing age 30) will have to be sacrificed for that goal.

You have a short memory mate. Start of the season when Kane was still gathering his toys together, he really held it together for us.

I think I would prefer Sam Johnstone over Frazer Forster as backup. Neither are good enough for Lloris’s jersey.

Johnstone would have been ok. He's 30, still not that old for a keeper and better than all our recent back ups. Really not keen on Forster, not much younger than Lloris and was a bit of a laughing stock at Southampton upto this season when to be fair he's done pretty well. Yes its only a back up keeper but Lloris has a lot of games and a world cup to play.

Tarkovski is such an Everton type signing

We should be nowhere near him
 
The Gabriel Jesus links are really promising. I think he would be a perfect addition to our forward line. The issue is, will City even deal with us after the Kane fiasco? One look at the blue moon forum and the manc pricks are still bitter. Don’t want to entertain our bids.

That's insane.

Anyone else mighty relieved we finished our stadium before covid and recession kicked in?

Who's to say we might not still be building it now and be left struggling financially as a result.

Sure, having to tighten our belts when we did sucked, but hindsight is starting to suggest it was worth it.

I'm not sure they have a great deal of choice. They will need to offload players.

I suspect it will come down to the wages we can offer vs the likes of Woolwich.

Also, more to the point, the lad will want to play every single game and be the main man. He's spent years being an understudy. It's perfectly reasonable for him to not want to sit behind Kane and Son.

Can you define, what does "he held it together for us" ? Given that he failed to score or provide an assist within 11 first league games? Is just running around a bit enough to be qualified as "holding things together"? Is that the main attacking players job in your eyes?

Cause what concerns actual output - you know, goals which win you games - his only productive spell this season was after Conte arrived when in games nr12-16 he scored 2 goals and assisted 4. Which means his contribution for remainder of 33 games was 0 goals + 3 assists.

They'd rather sell him to Woolwich since they're no threat to the Oil Cunts. They're less secure about us and Conte on the other hand.
