Might as well throw another log on the fire here. Found this over on reddit:

The question is have any of the six done really well relative to spend levels compared to quality?
The question is, why is Ben Davies down as a permanent Liverpool signing?
 
Prepared to bet with decent odds with anyone on here that we will finish within 6 points of Villa either way.

There is no big gap between us. They are a genuine competitor to us.

Fine but there's absolutely nothing definitive to say they have a better team than us and they will finish above us.

It's funny people make these outlandish statements in the Summer and forget so much happens in the season, there's so many permutations, so many intangibles, it's mad how people can make a straight up prediction off the bat AND the window isn't even shut yet!
 
Not saying I’m staying here not interested in moving is he?
I think you’re making what is called an argument of ignorance — you assert that he is prepared to move because there’s no direct quote to contradict your claim.

Except there is — in other interviews (given later?) where he states he had no intention of leaving Inter.

Nothing in his quote suggests he wants to play for Conté again as the article asserts. The article could just have easily said that he wants to become the player-manager of Tranmere Rovers because he loves the architecture of the Birkenhead Post Office and you could make the same (fallacious) argument.
 
Villa secure Diaby boom done, Pau Torres done.
Two CBs good ones at that, in three weeks before season starts, backing their manager will money and ambition.
This is at least the second time that you’ve made the claim about Diaby being a CB despite being corrected (more than once). Now, the claim is not just he’s a CB but a ‘good one’ — indicating you’ve some knowledge of the player. That strikes me as doubling down on laughably wrong. Best to stop while you’re this far behind.
 
Fucking small club cunts.

80m euros is just under £70m. No surprise we are rightly declining their offer and wanting more.

Probably need an extra £30m or so for Spurs to buy an alternative decent forward - meanwhile Bayern would STILL be getting a bargain in offering more than 100m to 120m euros plus add ons for Kane (ie increasing their bid by almost 50%. Cheapskates.

That extra £30m or so Bayern are under bidding is worth another CB to us so bidding low also affects who we aim to buy (eg CB's).

I maintain that the biggest reason for our success under Pochettino in the late 10s was due to catastrophic widespread incompetence at each of the richer, historically more dominant clubs - namely United, Chelsea, Liverpool, Citeh and Scum. They had such a massive financial advantage over the field including us, that only squandering their money on shite players and horrific mismanagement would keep them from success.

Don't get me wrong. They've cocked it up to an enormous degree. But the tides changed for City and Pool and now for Woolwich and United seemingly, and it's only a matter of time before the Chavs and Newcastle use their financial might the right way as well.
