Higher price category?

After lasts seasons horror show defensively we gave decided to go bargain basement shopping for goalkeepers and centre backs.

Then when it doesn't work out Levy and will look stunned/surprised before adopting the exact same tactic to sort the issues out. Then when that doesn't work again Levy and Co will look stunned and surprised again before adopting....

Jan Vertonghen - Around £10million
Toby Alderweireld - Around £12million
Kyle Walker - Around 5millon


Davinson Sanchez - Around £42million
Serge Aurier - Around £24million

Harry Maguire £80million.

When will people stop looking at price tags as an indication of how well they will do? It shows a very limited understanding of how football works.

If Bayern don’t have the cash for Kane they should give us Mane as part of the deal. I think he would be great in an Ange system

I wouldn't touch Mane with a bargepole now (unless it was a pay-per-appearance deal)..... His body is gonna completely give out sooner rather than later.... He's a big ol' boy and Klopp ran him ragged.

ok can we look at talent as well?

One of the potential cheaper cbs is clement lenglet who was with us last season and was shit. Having seen him perform to a shit level combined with us conceding a ridiculous amount of goal our board have decided he is a good permanent option.


Can you make an excuse for that please.

Has Lengelt signed for us?

EDIT: also what excuse - you made out like we have been shopping bargain basement for years and it has never worked out for us.

I gave multiple examples of inexpensive players that we have purchased that have all been fan favourites and played to a level WELL beyond their price tag.

I also gave some examples of expensive signings that did not work out.

SO your notion about the rinse and repeat of us only ever going for failed cheaper buys is nonsense. In fact, us going for more reasonably priced players in defence has served us better than not over the last 10 years.

You can simply admit you're not being very nuanced with your assessment instead of trying to move the goalposts.

TO be more nuanced myself about Lenglet..... as far as I am seeing we arent currently bidding for or looking to bring him in.

Despite that, I don't feel like he is as bad as is being made out and could likely do much better for us in Ange's system than Contes.

Did you watch him much for Barca?


Here are some comparison stats for Tapsoba vs Lenglet (Barca) vs Lenglet (Spurs) - the stats are per 90 mins
