Well thought and said. How people on here are still advocating for him to come here, is beoynd me.No need for that maybe. You're being way too kind on the lad. He bet against his own team. They pay and support him while he's suspended, then he goes do interviews where he clearly states he wants to move on asap. Only reason Brentford didn't kick up a fuss is cause they couldn't have him refuse to train and play, would've affected their results and his value. So they swallowed it. But the guy is clearly a cunt.
And yet in the 'bottom 5' of that table we also see City, United and Woolwich... It's almost as if the topic of that table has nothing to do with either success, ambition or 'the lowest de facto squad investors in the PL' (whatever the fuck that is supposed to mean - other than another meaningless trolling phrase...) ...Well said that man. Thanks for highlighting

In fact, despite the bullshit promises of all the extra third party revenue being reinvested in the team, The worlds 8th richest club continues to be the lowest de facto squad investors in the Premier League!
Scandelous
Think he's average myself won't offer anything we haven't got with rich except pens.Well thought and said. How people on here are still advocating for him to come here, is beoynd me.
And being selfish and greedy, doesn't imply him in a football sense being a leader at the park, quite the opposite. I would rather keep what we have
Richy isn’t as good as Toney at anything apart from running about looking busy. Toney has a better touch,better awareness,links play better,has a presence,can pass better. better finisher,better movement. He offers everything Richy doesn’t have.Think he's average myself won't offer anything we haven't got with rich except pens.
Why not both... Richy is hardly fit and Solanke is a better footballer.
Competition is good.
Clearly in a minority here but think Solanke is ready for a step up.
19 goals last season - appeared in every game. 4th highest XG90, good with his back to goal, good passer, strong, great in the air.
Think he would be an excellent fit for our system and would score a lot of goals for us.
If we sell Richy first, then we have a genuine choice to make:Chiesa for £20m or Eze for £70m. Both 26.
I wonder who Levy is gonna go with.

Yes I know they play slightly different positions, shut the fuck up.
Thank you, pal. Always good to read you.Chiesa is an excellent player. His problem is a contractual level with the club. He asked for contractual adjustments too many times, not in line with the economic recovery of the club which lost a lot of money by skipping the year in CL. Since he expires in 2025 and does not have the proposed figures, Juventus wants to sell him for €20/30 million.
Eze and TonyIf we sell Richy first, then we have a genuine choice to make:
Toney, Eze, Chiesa Solanke...
Let's say any 2 combos of the 4...?
Who would you go for (bearing in mind a scenario where Richy leaves)
Hes a slow plodder would rather an elite striker myself.Richy isn’t as good as Toney at anything apart from running about looking busy.

You are neither Real Madrid nor a small club. I got to know you better in the period in which Juventus and Tottenham clashed in the CL: in a football world in the hands of Arabs, Americans etc. I like to see a club with ownership from the same country. Juventus has had the same ownership since 1923, it's a huge period! Your president is certainly more thrifty than others but spending a lot does not mean working well. Guardiola's Man City spent enormously. Juventus is still "paying" the crazy expenses around CR7: Chiesa will leave precisely with this in mind of rationalizing contracts. A few years ago we managed to pay Ramsey €7 million per year: not even his mother would have given him that much...Yeah but all the teams that had the best seasons spent more than us. Leicester being the freaky exception.
Being a nice club is a polite way to say small club but well organised?
We are a club that pretends to shake up the natural order of English football. The fans certainly pay enough to have a team that shakes up the heirarchy. Unfortunately the club has never paid them back for it.
Does Chiesa get us closer to doing that?
If we sign him I hope so.
