He’s a Celtic fan now I think.

Bracing themselves? They could just tell us to fuck off.

Lloyd fucking Kelly, this is worse than the Fulham performance. I didn’t feel this low when Kane left. Would rather give one of our youth players a chance.

Levy on the off chance you read this, you are a cretinous cunt

He had a solid gold chance with that windfall to get at least a decent portion of the fanbase back onside with some ambitious spending, actually fuck that, not even ambitious, we should be able to afford £150m net spend in 1 window, if Chavs can spend 3-4x that figure every window with a similar size fanbase and much smaller stadium, why couldn't we spend that in just one fucking window where the need for a big rebuild was clear for all to see. Our business would be good if the squad were essentially the finished article, a few really astute additions in VDV, Vicario and Maddison that unequivocally improve the first XI in each position, but our game vs Fulham displayed to us all just how woefully short on strength in depth we are.

I literally cannot fathom the whole "we must sell before we buy" bollocks, I really can't. We've been having the same issues trying to cut loose our deadwood for the last 3 calendar years now, we know these players are not good enough to play for us, we've only managed to secure loans for the vast majority of them, and even that has stopped this year by and large. It's plain as day we're gonna see a lot of these guys frozen out until their contracts expire. Whether they're under contract or not, they're unequivocally not good enough to be part of the squad, so why would that even factor in to replacing them? If anything, NOT replacing them in advance would probably give them the sense they can just sit tight, wait for an injury and take their place back in our first XI.

He had an excellent loan season at Palace.
May have been a ‘big fish - small pond’ situation but I would take him based on those performances

He’s better than Skipp. If it was to replace him I can sort of understand it. But that doesn’t seem to be the case. A replacement for PEH maybe but he’s a different type of player so not sure that adds up either.
But nothing surprises me with our transfer policy it always feel a bit unplanned as though we are winging it.

I’m not an unrealistic fan. I’m happy to work within our financial confines and don’t expect squad perfection. But if we enter this season with Sanchez 3rd choice CB and the existing attacking options, I’ll consider it poor risk management and be really disappointed in the club. They could seriously impact the chances of meeting our (realistic) objectives this season.

9th richest club in the world

So we sell our best ever goal scorer because apparently its better to get the money to invest in the squad. Right.

We've signed no replacement strikers and the only attacking player we have been linked is with some bloke who plays for Forest. Who we won't sign anyway because he costs more than £3.50. Fucking Great.

The Bald Cunt is essentially sabotaging us and will be the reason why we finish 12th this season.

Im not backing levy up here but we did sign a replacement for Kane and that was Richie. We’ve also signed an attacking mid on madders and we’ve signed a top centre half too. Richie was obviously a huge mistake but stop acting like we haven’t spent money. We have

Depth isn't tested by playing all backups together, depth is tested by having the players slot in for first XI players. A nearly fully rotated team playing poorly doesn't tell you anything.
