How do you fathom that one out?
We had the best striker in World football, finished lower in the PL with him, scored more without him and made Europe?
The ball over the top or through the lines on counter attack was the killer for us last season.
Buying Messi wouldn't have made a shits difference to that.
Levy ain't shelling out that kind of money for a twenty eight year old.
And you can put money on that.
Ramos anyone? 
Wouldn't surprise me if he's heading to Saudi for his last huge pay-day.

The ball over the top happened after we gave it away too easily from our forwards.
We replaced him with the system. .
We did replace his goals with the system.
But now we can see what the system could produce, we need to replace his talent and star power. Imagine how many more goals we'd score if we have another world class forward?
And for the opposition to get the ball our forward players need to lose it in the first place.
Forwards who are decisive and make our attack more potent fixes a lot of our problems, namely the transitions.
The other issue of course were set pieces.
At Juve he's basically guaranteed a starting spot and CL footy every season....
No smoke without fire. We probably will end up missing out as someone else won't fuck around trying to squeeze every last penny from the deal. But he has "spursy" signing written all over him.
In one of our required positions
Has a reasonable price tag due to circumstances
Fits homegrown quota

Free Transfer
Free.
It's Juve and he's Italian.
The only chance we have is offering money they don't want to and that's unlikley.
This is something that Levy's most fanatical supporters on here find very uncomfortable talking about.
Why did the Premier League's most austere chairman, known more than anything else for his short arms and deep pockets, hire not 1 but 2 serial winning cheque book managers with no intention of writing the cheques everyone predicted they would demand......thereby cementing our banter status even further by becoming the first and only club both managers failed to win anything at?
How did he have our best interests at heart?
It's a discussion that hopefully one day his most vociferous devotees will be willing to take up.
Exactly. Them fools called Ali Gold a global superstar and Spurs royalty on LWOS the other day.
You'd still shag both.
Yeah he prob thought it was really funny to pay 2 of the worlds best coaches 15M a year and expect them to produce results
Has anyone seen Callum Doyle play? HG, left-footed CB who can also play as LB. Can't see him getting much playing time at Man City the coming season either...
Have you tried asking in the Dragusin thread yet?
I've seen him a few for the England youth teams and always thought he was a bit too slow.
Course you can’t. Even man city are vulnerable on the break - how many times did we have joy breaking against them. But being able to retain possession and pin the oppo back will mean it won’t be so easy to come back at us. Plus how many times did we get to the edge of the box and watch Kulu just pass back inside. So many dangerous positions wasted
Already have
POK saying Toney is of interest but no bid is made…
