Extremely sobering scouting report on Orban.

Fucking hell, even I think you're overly negative!

We're buying raw young players, some will work, some won't, that's where we are at as a club and it's shit, but that's the way it is

I'm sure you can find scouting reports saying this young 18 year-old called Harry Kane WASN'T going to make it as a top class player, but we all know how that turned out!
 
you think Levy is "not counting" Porro and Kulusevski?

As I've said a few times previously...we have signed

Veliz 13m
Maddison 40m
Porro 39m
Kulusevski 25m
VDV 35m
Vicario 16m
Solomon free

168m spent


Kane 100m
Winks 10m

110m received




so 58m net so far. My belief has always been that we would spend around 80m net so that's 22m in the kitty.

sell
Ndombele 8m
Hojbjerg 30m
Tanganga probably loan
Reguillon probably loan

so add another 38m to that kitty if we are lucky. So around 60m (imo of course) to bring in a CB and forward type player.
My figure maybe is Conservative so maybe 60 to 80m to get 2 or 3 players in (if Levy can see it in himself to have a 100m net spend).
Where does this 80m net figure come from?

In a window where we sell our talisman that would be crazy low.
 
If you ignore our two most expensive signings (60m) in transfers we’ve made money!

Let’s arbitrarily ignore players for other teams as well shall we? Without rice and havertz, Woolwich have a net spend of only €20m. No ambition!
Well if you want to count signings from 18 months ago in this window then the solution is very simple.

We sign players on similar deals and count their signature in 18 months.

Plenty of room to do business.
