Well, he'll have a lot of defending to do there, that is for sure!
Those proceeds don't seem to be allowing us to compete with Europe's elite and challenge for major honours though, do they?...As was promised.
We've actually regressed since we became Anchor Tennants.
Our bitter rivals are outspending and outperforming us
We've just SOLD our best player, we've dropped out of European football completely, and we're still sniffing around the bargain aisles for discounts or knock offs who may or may not improve our starting XI
Meanwhile, the football club announce plans to add a few more storey's to it's latest real estate enterprise.
Shocking state of affairs, really. It stinks of bullshit and deceit.
Quite a few of their contracts run out in the next two years thankfully. What we need to do now is not amass even more of them!
The balance between having expensive assets languishing without playing time versus having adequate depth for the inevitable injuries of a PL season is truly just a fucking impossible riddle.
There was not ONE GAME last season when we had exactly three of Kane, Son, Richarlison and Kulusevski fit. Not one.
Ah, our traditional “loan to win trophies” strategy
Well he isn't going to win anything with us.
Sevilla winning the Europa League with both sides of the Gil/Lamela swap playing in the final is the Spursiest thing of all time
would be great- he should at least go there and prove he is at or above that level. can be recalled and reloaned elsewhere mid season if needed. 2-3 years late for this move though.
And yet Gil is still “not good enough” for us in the eyes of many of our fans.
well we ain’t won shit lately, so how bout that?
CB is the only 1 that scares me.
All part of the evidence of betting presented to The FA ....... in case they hadn't spotted it !
100% down with this- plus we already have Porro here, and paid for him. Going anywhere else right now he’d be sold for a loss.
Good football players whose style doesn't suit the Premier League is a real thing.
I haven't given up on Gil but that's my diagnosis.
Just not convinced at all by our forward options. I look at them and try and work out how we score the amount of goals you need for top 4 and don't see it at all.
Maddison helps a bit but aside from him we don't really have players who you can totally rely on to contribute from midfield either.
IMO with the VDV signing CB stopped being the priority. We need a marquee forward.

My normal brain take is that it should be Porro as the right winger and Kulu as the right #8.
My galaxy brain take, based on limited learnings of what Ange requires from his inverted fullbacks: could we have Porro RW, Kulu #8, and then Skipp as the nominal right back? Am I wrong looking at that remit as a defensive minded center-mid?
When I match up player abilities with role requirements without biasing myself with position titles, that's what I come up with down our right.
By far the biggest concern IMO..........
Fingers crossed Dav & Japh (+Rodon) would be the breakthrough required to put it to bed.
IMO we only significantly improve the goal-tally with mega-upgrade on the wing.
I also think Sonny ends the season as #1 ST.......
We've got two decent centre backs, Romero and VDV. What if one of them gets injured? We need at least one more good one.
That's very comforting to hear
