Fenerbahce just signed Fred.
All the noise coming out of Turkey is a load of bollocks. Their sports journalism seems to make ours look like Pulitzer stuff.

Spending 10s of millions for optics or moral is a silly idea........ just stick to the basic premise of buying what we need because we need it.
If we have won our first 3 games, I don't think it will matter. If we have lost our first 3 games, I don't think it will matter either.
Unless it's Mbappe...
Sure but we obviously need quite a bit.
The fans need that more than the team.
The team also need a CB and CF badly…
Kulu we had a conditional obligation to buy..
But
Taking your point on, if Napoli had taken the option, the incoming would be counted from the time he joined them and signed a contract to play for Napoli.
They did count Kulu, as did Skysports and other big media like talk sport saying things like “Conte was backed”.
Let’s say this bluntly:
If the club don’t invest further after selling Kane, and considerably, and the sum total of Kane = Vicario, VdV, Solomon, Maddison and Veliz, they deserve riots.
Levy and the board need to be hounded relentlessly out of the club.

If you're too busy gobbing off about Levy to make your point clearly to start with then YOU'RE the "Bell".......
The fact that you think anyone is "terrified" of Ange getting a player he wants; that also make you a "Bell"......

Conte WAS backed, it doesn't matter if we paid for Kulu or not, he had a ready made PL player on his hands.
Conte was backed with the Kulu purchase, right?
So you don’t count Kulu as backing for Ange in this transfer window? Right?
No, he was backed with the Kulu loan.
That’s not really the case though is it. Backing is relative to the manager you get. Conte is a cheque book manager who wants to win titles, to get a squad with the potential for a title from where we were it probably would have cost at least £400m of players to be brought in. We treated him not like a short term cheque book manager which he is but a longer term project manager which he isn’t.
We didn’t back Conte for what he is, whether or not we should have even hired someone like that or Jose in the first place is another question. But he never had a title capable squad.
We backed Conte by any standard, he got like six first team players in a year and a half.
And Ange was backed with the Kulu purchase?
What you are describing there my friend is a scam.
Yes and still miles away from anything approaching a title capable squad. We could give him 20 championship players that isn’t backing. Not for a manager like Conte.
I wouldn't say Ange was backed with the Kulu purchase cause I'm not sure he even wanted him, that doesn't mean the fee doesn't count for this window.
Neither the Porro nor Kulu fee should be counted towards backing Ange.
Don't disagree..
