Indeed! That’s why I posted that Ange has made some curious decisions and statements. His got Johnson bco he dies rate kulu much on the right otherwise fiend £50M on him when what we really needed was a CB. Something he said himself as well but then have made no attempt to get another one. Apart from the last min desparate links.
"Made no attempt" to get one. ?
How do you know he didn't want another one ? I'm sure he did. Levy & co didn't get it done though.
As for Kulu and Johnson, how about squad depth. Two players for every position and all that.
Plus , we don't know Anges plans for Johnson. He might already have plans for him to play centre forward.
 
You've misinterpreted what I'm writing.

We've lost Kane who is our best player. However we've transferred in some players that improve us- but I don't think that itself compensates for losing 30 goals a season.

The reason I think our first XI is better than last season is because of Ange, as he's improved players we already had. For example, he'll take Bissouma and Sarr onto the next level.

So the manager isn't the only factor, but it is a decisive factor in why the current XI is better.


No, I said "But very worrying that we lost kane and didn't bring in strong reinforcements at CB and attack."
We already had the players you listed before we lost Kane. We had an injection of 100m from that... and practically did nothing.

Again; the highlighted part is bollocks though and we both know it..... I've not "misinterpreted" anything........ You made a succession of posts insistent that we've done nothing to improve the team on the basis of a shit CB3 (yep! 100% acknowledged) and not seeking to improve the attack (BS).

Having now waved around the Kane fee; you're being a naught boy and jumping on the net spend train just cos it suits your "disgusting, incompetent, disaster, shambles of a window"-yadda narrative.

Agree with the squad part. Also, I think Rich is more likely the one replaced than Kulu
 
Why would they unless the pieces fell exactly into place? Cushy contracts, great facilities to stay fit and a London lifestyle? Why go out and prove yourself at your former clubs expense unless you actually value what’s left of your whole career (as opposed to what benefits you right now by staying put?)
Proves my point exactly. Any ambitious athlete would not respond well to being benched(phased out). These are the same lot that have failed to win us silverware. The mentality at this club the last few years have been poor,
 
Take Maddison out of ours and what do we have?

A team that finished 8th

What a load of utter shit.

Compared to our starting XI last season we have

Vicario
VDV
Udogie
Biss
Maddison
(+ whatever impact Johnson brings if he's deemed a starter)
(+ whatever imnprovement comes from Porro who couldn't have arrived at a worse time)

Take away Maddison (why? he doesn't count for some fucked up mental-gymnastics reason) and we're still a vastly different XI
 
Shit window again..we needed at least 2 cbs and a striker and that was before kane was sold..
Then we blow the best part of £50m on some very average forest youngster, instead of just buying a quality cb with that money...pathetic...so we now have nobody to play at cb if romero or van de ven get injured..that should be considered negligence in my opinion....I cannot believe we paid nearly £50m for this johnson guy, are we fucking serious....
People have to get over the 50m. 50m is equivalent to 30m a few years ago. It’s the new normal. You have to adjust
