He'll say about Solankes goal record in the Prem ignoring last season but will also ignore the fact Sorloth didn't score for Palace
Thing is, most will try look at it with context Sorloth was very young, too young for the Prem. Looks to be showing he can play at the highest level. Just like Solanke

Will say this though Solanke not Sorloth was a product of one the best academies in the world and then got signed by another top club all before he was 20.

Sorloth at 28 going on 29 has just got to a big club
 
WLB claims that he broke the news about João Gomes a month ago (when I was in the news already anyway)... but that it's not serious yet even though all ther terms are" no issus2, i.e., have been agreed on,...but yet there is no progress :rolleyes: 🤔

WLB on SC (about João Gomes)

Nothing serious atm. keen admirer of him since i broke it months ago and terms wont be an issue but its not progressed into anything atm.

£50 million being banded about, not sure he's worth that if it were to happen.
But we could use someone like that who has alot of defensive recoveries, help us keep control a little

And how long does a rebuild take.

I seem to recall Artetas first full season 20/21 they were in 14th or something after the first 10 games and in 21/22 they were 10th or so after the same, having lost to newly promoted Brentford 2-0 on the opening day.

Will Ange turn it around, will things finally click properly soon? I hope so but obviously cannot say for sure. But if we are talking full rebuild, which we essentially are, then it for sure and has been shown by most teams other than City that it requires sticking with your man for a decent chunk of time.
This. It’s going to take time, especially since we are going the Dortmund model of loading up on young potential stars. We’ve bought so many 18/19 year olds (not to mention having guys like Moore and Lankshear, and all the other academy kids).

Like take Bergvall. Kid is going to be incredible. But he’s not going to be a world class mid this year. But maybe next year or the year after he starts to be one.

It makes sense to give Ange’s project time to cook and not bail on him because the players we’ve bought him are young and learning.

Knowing Lange, the more they talk about it the lower the chances of it actually happening.

And you know what - I understand that some fans don't have the patience to wait and see - supporting Spurs isn't easy and fuck knows we have suffered through some piles of steaming shit the last 5 years or so.

But if this our strategy then it is going to take more than 1 season to get to where we want to go. no amount of complaining is going to change that

How long did it take Klopp to win his first trophy? 3 years was it?

Granted, Arteta won the FA Cup in his first half-season at the club but has not won a thing since actually being given time and space to build a team in his image.
