Yes, I get that but as I said even at Rennes, with only 1 RB to compete with, he did not get playing time. And in the pre-season Ange just played him for like 15 min (vs Barca)

He did get injured and returned to Tottenham a couple of weeks after Traore came back from injury
I think these are slightly overrated unless you're running a full on player farming operation like Chelsea. To get any kind of useful income stream from it you'd have to have lots of them coming in consistently, and frankly our academy production line of late would barely be yielding a trickle...
Say we had a 10% sell on and Palace sold for £40m, we get £4m, hardly game changing money for us.
Porro should be cover / replacement for Kulu not Royal. Not saying we don't need a proper right winger but would rather we spent the funds on a #9
Probably because he thinks Lazio will cash in on his best GK if Lloris comes in
Who cares why, or their issues, as long as we get him off the books, with respect for his time over the years.
I'm not talking about a broader attempt to establish an income stream; just addressing a predicament to minimise any loss and/or maximise the outcome from a player that suddenly it appears we don't have a use for,
We could ad 20% for example (CP were happy to do so for Eze)... There's nothing to say it couldn't be even higher still..... There are no rules per say.
eg:
15m +25% sell on >>>>>>> Eventually CP sell for 40m... We get 10m and Palace still double their money..... Or we can buy back at 30m and Palace are still doubling their outlay.
..........Or if he doesn't become a start; CP just end up with a RB worth roughly what they paid.
I'd say that would be agreeable to all parties.
Cool story.
Still well on track for the deadwood to still be here and excuses to be made for another manager being left short.
Perhaps the conclusion one should be taking is that the front 3 might need more than one game to click with a new system......? .............And that - with regards to a ST - it's hard to score if no chances are being created?
A one game, fan jury is foolishmess.
To be honest, I don't follow his team, so I don't know if they rotate their wings during matches. However, as I understand, he is a left wing - though it seems he's capable of playing both. I might be more inclined to get him if that's the case.
See my reply above
"Story"? Morning time Jackanory is your domain; not mine bro.
Unless you can counter A - F with actual facts; then get back to me after a nice comforting cheese sarnie and a cuppa.
If Levy changes his ways and doesn’t leave his manager short in key areas, I’ll be more than happy to say I’m wrong.
So far this window, unfortunately, I’ve not been wrong as much as I’d like.
p.s. There were a flurry of links regarding outgoings yesterday... You've literally taken to ignoring things that don't suit your narrative over the last few days.
Only angry at the enablers man and don't worry we know who they are. If your getting to the lane this season let me know and we can have a very expensive beer.

Why do most people want to change jobs :
- More money
- to go to a better job (usually with more pay) ...... not applicable to most of our discards
- hate their immediate superior (in this case coach), it happens, but less than (1)
- Bored (can happen, not every player is interested in football)
- Want total change of job/retire ......... could be Ndombele ?
- Poor working conditions (unlikely given training ground and facilities - most players seem overwhelmed by them)
- Wife/GF/family hate location (might happen with overseas players wanting to 'go home' ....... question is whether they can afford to go home ie can local club afford their desired wage as earned at Spurs.
So yes, we can be reasonably confident on players motivation - they are only human
Whilst tucking into your sarnie; take the time to ponder the difference between truth and actuality vs torturing ones self-concocted horror stories.
Until X or Y happens; you're not right about anything. That's just how reality works.
You seem oblivious to the fact that business done so far this summer should buy enough patience to see how the remainder of the window unfolds... You can't handle that though..... The waiting is visibly difficult for you.

Measured against our expectations it most certainly has been poor and, barring a few "go get the players that I want" posters, I think the expectations have been realistic in the main.
Having said all that, things can change in the next 2 weeks to, potentially, rescue the window somewhat. But at this point in time it hasn't been anywhere near what we want or need.
