You have to look at the funny side of thingsThere's a tiny part of me that wants us to sign Dan James too. Just to see the comedy of the mental gymnastics unfold on here.
Thursday morning: General consensus. He's fucking shite and an absolutely embarrassing transfer target.
Friday morning: Maybe he ain't so bad. Perhaps Antonio can polish him up
Friday night: Could be a decent buy actually. Especially considering what we paid.
Saturday morning. Great bit of business. Did well to beat off our rivals. Could be the missing piece of the Conte puzzle.
Saturday night. 10/10 signing. 10/10 window. Anyone saying otherwise must be a gooner cunt and don't support Spurs. All Hail "Don" Levy for giving us Dan James!
Chelsea are set to overhaul their defence this window whilst we get lenglet in on loan
FWIW, Gvardiol was subbed off at the half in RB Leipzig's 1-2 loss @ Union Berlin and didn't start in the next (most recent) match vs Werder Bremen.
In their match prior to WB, Gvardiol was subbed on to start the second half and RB Leipzig ultimately ended up drawing Köln 2-2 b/c of a Gvardiol OG.

I get it. I have watched him a lot and yeh for me he is at least Rudiger level, a sort of peak Toby but bigger and stronger. He could be the difference between an FA Cup and no FA Cup.
However Conte for his system may consider Bastoni who is better on the ball more important to use the money on next year and the club may simply not have the cash to do everything which is frustrating to say the least.
So we signed Lenglet on loan and Chelsea sign Fofana and Koulibaly and possibly Gvardiol next year. Absolute piss take. Levy has proven this summer that there was no intention in competing in the future because we are not willing to sign the players we need to compete. The £150m was meant to boost our spending and enable us to do deals not just sign a few players. This is a board who did not sign players when Poch needed them most and they are shafting another manager.
Ighalo would have been a much better signing for us at that time than Dan James is now.
The amount of money in the Prem is absolutely obscene right now. Between Chelsea, City, Pool, Utd, Newcastle, Woolwich, and dang, even Forest- that's like 7 other clubs absolutely blowing out their transfer budgets this year. Surely it can't be sustainable?
If Sanchez done some of those fuck ups , he would have been slaughtered on here
Dunno why people are tripping, I'm loving these expensive gambles by the Chavs.
Been saying that for years and yet the money grows and grows as the Prem eats up more and more fans globally while owners who need to sports wash all jump in.
No they are doing it because teams in other leagues are broke. These may be low in terms of transfer fees going forward
"everyone’s screaming there’s no top talent available at CB?"
You've moved the goal posts in terms what what was said and by how many.... Even then:
"Loads...."
Ditch the hyperbole, fella.....
The common take hasn't been the same as the RWB situ. Not at all.
Perhaps it will be proven un-wise in time; but that's more something to take umbrage with the club over rather than mere fans..... Afterall it's not like they have the influence to insist that we take said strategy.
Conte & Fab + scouts (+ Levy setting the budgets somewhere in the background)
...So, unless Conte riots in a few weeks; I think it's safe to assume those at the forefront of this are happy with how the squad-build is proceeding.
he was too much money, dan james is more viableThey have ambition we don’t.
Well..... he isnt.
Until next summer.
