Vicario
If they are expecting him to be Haaland straight away they are off their nut.
The reason why I’m a little hesitant on the Orban move is imo he really does need time on loan. The things he must improve on are almost entirely “game time vs men” related, dealing with physical contact, playing hold-up, playing within a system and combining with teammates, holding off players, building confidence against packed defenses.
20 minutes every other week in the Prem is a great way to stagnate development imo. I think he does have a lot in his toolbox but he, much moreso than other young guys, NEEDS regular match play because he’s so far behind in that respect.
He definitely had Mitoma before the hipsters jumped on the bandwagonPretty good quotes in there. Most importantly I’m wondering what his FPL team was last season and where he came!
He is funny and a breath of fresh air"Money burning in my pocket? I don't have any money burning in my pocket. My wife does a good job of making sure it doesn't go there. That's harsh on my wife.... she deserves it. To spend it I mean, I'm getting myself into a hole here!" joked the Australian.
This guy.![]()
She's into Celtic too, eh? I can relate.My wife seems to measure our holidays by a completely different metric , luckily she is Spurs also , she just has a life outside of Spurs masochism

I liked his comments surrounding, not having to spend fortunes, which is music to someone's ears.Levy is a disgrace for not building a team round Kane that could win the prem when there was a chance. No excuse,
Then hiring managers that he had to know would need more than he wanted to spend. Stupid and incompetent.
But.
For the first time since Poch and maybe even more so than Poch, he’s hired a manager that genuinely wants to prove it can be done without spending obscene money on players. There is something about that I can get behind.
Sure we’d all like to see us competing to sign the best in the world and under Conte, they should have if they were being honest with the appointment.
At least now though, there’s a chance for the club, manager, and fans to be on the same page.
ndombele will not play for us again, he is not willing to do the hard work required to play 60/70 mins per matchTbh I'm not surprised, not only would he take a massive pay cut but any kind of career at the top level is over. I know people would say it's over now but he got a winners medal at Napoli, so he's hoping for more of the same.
£75m Kepa and £35m Mendy?Who on earth are Chelseas two number one goalkeepers?
Don't they just have Brighton #2 goalkeeper as their #1 now?
They sold Mendy and are loaning Kepa to Madrid.
So you didn’t answer the first part.
Klinsmann was 30 years old and coming off a poor, injury-ridden (and controversial? ) season (with Monaco? as I recall). He rehabilitated his image and fucked off to Bayern after a year. That’s the truth of it.
Yup, he was world-class but no one really thought we were getting prime Klinsmann
I don't like having to say it, But we have spent on talent, but most have turned out to be duffersI liked his comments surrounding, not having to spend fortunes, which is music to someone's ears.
But he also said, that sometimes you do have to buy top talent, which is also correct.
The club hopefully will eventually, get it right between, when to buy those players that add stardust to the team.
Leicester already proved that the year they won the PL.For the first time since Poch and maybe even more so than Poch, he’s hired a manager that genuinely wants to prove it can be done without spending obscene money on players

Didn't even notice Mendy was gone.
