Using last summer as a reference point; wouldn't you say it's more than likely that's already considered a perfectly viable option.........?

Using last summer as a reference point; wouldn't you say it's more than likely that's already considered a perfectly viable option.........?
Not what I said.
I said twitter rumours about players aren’t actually players leaving. Until they do leave, they mean nothing.
What happens when Orban goes to UTD or Al Chilsi?
Was he always going there as well and we were hysterical to think we had a chance?
Have you got a house or car for sale?
Well shit out of ideas then.
If you're saying that you think they've exhausted every avenue for loan, transfer, give away for free - that would mean there's some who are impossible to sell, impossible to loan out and we don't think they've got any chance of being near the first team.
Well let's just have them sitting around doing fuck all and keep paying full whack for them then.
You don’t see any similarities between the club’s actions this summer and any other summer?
On a scale of 1-10 how likely do you think it is that Levy can’t shift the deadwood and as a result the club fails to bring in players that the squad needs?
One narrative and one narrative only. It just started raining - kinda surprised there aren't any anti ENIC posts shaking fists at the clouds.
No-one bothers to think that PSG offered him more money. "Don't look around the eyes, look into the eyes"
Also agree on Orban but I imagine negotiations are ongoing given that it's a punt and they want to take the lions share of the Kane money.
I'm going to shake a fist at the clouds now to see if it helps.
For the owners it is personal property!
I don't think that is true.
The cracks in Hugo have been showing since the DUI or even before that. At minimum he was dividing the fan base for the last few years. Last year was the tipping point as he became an absolute liability

And French player chooses French serial winners, CL side...shock?
Yep it's mystery alright. Money, medals and playing on the world stage. I'd like to add media bias in here but it doesn't quite fit.
We're doomed.
I utterly despise Levy and ENIC and cannot wait for them to fuck off.
But we were never getting Muani. We’re levels below where he can shop.
Sorry but that sounds like slavery to me!
Yes these players have contracts but they're people too, plus we're talking about guys that we want to get rid off. Anything we can get for them, even subsidised wages, is a plus.
But yeah, keep them all here until they can leave on a free. Just sounds like you're defending Levy and ENIC here.
I'm not saying all avenues have been exhausted........ We won't know that til Sep 1st.
(Until then I'd assume all options continue to be explored....)

Needs a little work but I like where you're going with this.
Conversely, don't you see the similarities with other clubs?
For example, if you talk to woolwich fans (shudder...) won't they same much the same about Pepe, Tavares, Nelson, Elneny, Soares, Holding etc as we say about our deadwood? Doesn't every club have some deadwood that's hard to shift? (Apologies if anyone doesn't consider any of those deadwood - I admit that was a list lazily compiled by just looking through the squad).
Not necessarily saying they are the same exactly, just that for all clubs it's not easy to shift deadwood, that doesn't apply just to us.
It is true.... You may have had a differing opinion at the time, but it was absolutely true none-the-less.
Check the Hugo thread at that time for clarification.
Should we have signed a younger GK as #2 to ensure a smoother transition to post-Hugo times?
Absolutely....... And we did....... Gazzaniga, Giollini..... Neither stepped up tho'.
(Keeper contingency isn't as straightforward as one might depict...... Look at the froth caused by about the scum signing Raya on top of Ramsdale...... Most pundits are saying that it's a recipe for stress & drama..... It's not like signing 2 x DMs and letting them fight for minutes and rotation...... You need to pledge your confidence in a GK and let them 'run'.)
Anyone at all bemoaning a lack of a striker (of repute) already signed-up or all but sealed has my backing 100%.
I completely accept we cannot compete in all reality with the biggest clubs or those now bankrolled by filth states, but you cannot sell one of the world's best strikers for 100 million pounds and not replace them.
Nothing in any book of mine tells me that is reasonable, acceptable or designed to see a club compete.
And regardless of this evening's game which is most likely going to showcase that lack pf striker will change that viewpoint. Nothing..
It's beyond any dictionary definition of imcompetent.
