I still think he improves us. Did you see how one paced our attack was the other day? The issue is that he's not 50 million quids worth of improvement.People were calling for Brennan Johnson just a few years back when he was tearing up the Champo too
You're asking people to have 3-4 years patience? They've already made up their minds after 3-4 games!Not enough people get this.
If we'd have signed Eze, Olise, Maddison from QPR, Reading and Norwich respectively there would have been meltdown on here about how were shopping the cheap options, and how they aren't good enough. Jump forward 3-4 years and the same people are berating Levy and co for not paying the fees their new clubs ask for.
As obvious as Sess and Spence?Fucking Eze and Bowen, it was so obvious those guys could play.
Still cuntsBayern have the biggest commercial revenue in football, and they also lead the world in shirt sales.
And they're at the business end of the CL every year, standing to gain as much as anybody from the new CL.
World class stadium as well.
Bayern have a fuckload of money. They've generated a fair bit of outgoings lately too.
They were very smart to pay Levy's ask for Kane, that's excellent transfer business for an elite club.
Oh no ...Some of us (with eyes) were desperate NOT to sign Max Aarons so this is a pretty empty game. Folk have opinions is that not why we are here?We were also desperate for Max Aarons, and of course Sessegnon.
It's not that fan scouting is perfect, but the idea that young Champo stars aren't "acceptable" signings is total nonsense.
Football Insider. Must be true.
Those guys were better talents than Spence, and Sess had come up to the PL and sucked for a year.
It's probably around 15-20 in HG tax on these British players who show potential. Even more for some.He did cost that much last summer though, that's why we backed off.
Did his year in the PL justify that valuation? Not for me.....
With him injured I have a hard time seeing that happening but who knows
He was a good bit younger than the other players mentioned though, lots of reason to project growth from him, it just didn't happen.Sessegnon was a bloody back post tap-in merchant who found a niche for a bit. Never thought he looked exciting and was never sold on bringing him in.
if it leads to this then its worth the hard push right? (sadly we know it most likely wont but always a 1% chance lol )Us and ITKs for the next 30 hours:
Talking about the dead weight already at the club from seasons gone by shouldn't hold us back in the present as much as it does. We really need to improve on this in futureIt's probably around 15-20 in HG tax on these British players who show potential. Even more for some.
Brighton quoting ridiculous numbers for Ferguson.
I actually don't care about the fee too much any more, we spent 100 mil on Lo Celso and Ndombele but then got Bentancur, Bissouma and Maddison for peanuts in comparison.
Johnson and say Gallagher will always offer more than what we got from Gio and Ndom in my opinion.
Swings and roundabouts. I just wish the club would be more proactive get them in and recoup afterwards.
