@Ed Love the Bin Gif. Truth is the Bin is Empty.
Levy worried that someone is stealing his transfer target
@Parhfinder. Amazing how all these players get linked with clubs that never buy them. Just another ploy of Levy. No name players that are potential 'Masterclass' buys. If the Gamble pays off, Great. If the Gamble doesn't work out, he can always remind Fans.....but Liverpool also wanted him.

Brah when I say this dude will cook in our team, this would be the meal:
Nobody here was crying out for Bowen when he was at Hull and the same with Watkins when he was at Brentford

That's one poxy looking dinner.......

Come the start of the season, if the club hasn’t invested heavily in improving the first team, fans really need to start reevaluating how they spend their weekends. ENIC have upped the prices across the board, charging a premium for a not-so premium product (the actual team). They’re expecting fans to pay almost the most out of any football club in Europe for the pleasure of watching a team that gets battered 4-0 by Fulham and Newcastle. (I said wolves because I’m an idiot and I’m also an idiot because we lost 3-0 to Fulham not 4-0. But we did lose to Wolves.
I won’t be wasting any more of my time supporting a club ran by people who value profit margins over silverware. They’ve got til mid-August. Otherwise I’m doneski.

Didn't happen, fella.
Yes NC battered us; but we battered them too in the reverse game.
Are you gonna put a minimum number on this ultimatum?
.......How much is enough?
Yeah fucked that one up. Got mixed up with Fulham. And got 4-0 mixed up with 3-0. Apart from that. Brain is working perfectly!

Figure wise, I dunno. A high transfer fee doesn’t guarantee a good player. Ndombele is exhibit A.
The ultimatum for me is that they assemble a team that can compete for the title. Like I said, they’re charging top dollar, fans should expect to receive a top product.
You said "invest heavily."
But you're not gonna know how fruitful our summer proves to be in August....... Potentially not even in January. (Also see your Exhibit A)
Not sure if it's been mentioned here before but if Hull get promoted through playoffs then Villa can activate a £15m buyback clause on Philogene. They're currently 6 points off playoffs but with a game in hand.
But if Hull don't then AV have no clause to speak of.....? Wacky.
Rumours they have another clause that gives them first option if Hull accept a bid but would still be down to the player
The number one thing to make us better right now is a winger that can run, assist AND finish. Number two thing is a ST that can be effective against a low block.
We don’t finish enough chances and we fail to threaten enough against low blocks. Nobody is going to open themselves up against us except maybe top 4 until we can solve this because they know they can reliably beat us or take points this way.
Bissouma deciding to have a 6 month sabbatical hasn’t helped
I suspect there were only one or two who talked them up, agreed.
My biggest concern, despite us being 5th is that piece about player development. It's really hard to look at our players and to be able to pinpoint real and consistent improvement since joining.
Not at this stage laying that at the feet of Postecoglou and neither am I saying Bowen or Postecoglou would have necessarily been raging successes with us, but they are markedly better than they were, and both would now add quality for us. No doubt at all.
For all our talk of players not being good enough for us, what we must do is find players and then see them getting better both individually and within a team unit.
Not sure any of our players would be a Prem squad of 20 best players. Probably says a fair bit.

giving this a laughing reaction and obviously I get why.Surely you know I'm not silly enough to expect a list that long to happen. I even forgot a LCB like Tosin probs coming in on a free.
But doesn't it tell us everything we need to know about the realistic ambitions of this club that the squad can be short of that many positions to compete but we all know less than half of that happens?
realistically this is what I'm expecting in the summer:
OUT
same as above but Werner does sign.
IN
Eze
Gallagher
Tosin
maybe a FB and GK
maybe a FW but if it's dependant on Son or Richy coming off the wage bill and we get Werner in first, there is a very high chance the FW position ends up a "we tried".
Let's also be realistic and admit now that a summer like that has us firmly stuck in the same purgatory battle for 4th again. Maybe a Cup run to a SF.
The player would still need to be willing to go back to Villa.
His brother is at Spurs and Villa let him go... you'd have to think we'd have a chance to persuade him if we wanted.
He's giving some Eze Palace, Bowen Hull, and Watkins Brentford type of vibes though. Was always an extreme talent but had to go away and earn it... Sounds like an Ange story to me.
Fuck it, I'll play this game too:
Outs:
Ndombele
Sessegnon
Rodon
Skipp
Gio
Kulusevski
Richarlison
Gil
Don't sign Werner (I've changed my mind on him now)
Ins:
Eze
Toney (I'd see Isak but no way will Newcastle sell him - absolute mega money too)
Williams
Ederson
More Fullback options for competition with Udogie / Porro - not sure who though.
