How Dry should our Powder be?

Sure. They have. And it's frustrating for everyone and we are all very very well aware of it.

Saying it every day, in every thread doesn't change anything though. And neither has winning trophies for some fans of other teams when it comes to moaning every chance they get.

Even if we won something, the moaning wouldn't stop for half the folks (at least) that revel in the negativity.

And look, I'm well aware that I don't have to come on here, I don't have to post, I can block every single poster that I feel is being consistently toxic but it's not in my nature to do that. I enjoy reading different points of view.... but I just wished there would be at least something different being said and that when I have a different, competing view, something nuanced and un repetitive could be said back.
Amen brother
 
these are direct quotes but I suspect people will still call Ange a liar….


🎙️| Ange Postecoglou on Wilson Odobert:

“He's one that we identified really early on in the summer. It's no secret we were looking for a wide player and Wilson was one of the ones we highlighted. We had to go through certain steps to get these things done. They're not as straight forward as saying 'that's who we want, go and get them'. Obviously getting big Dom in was very important for us and we spent a lot of time working on that deal but once Dom was done there was one target and that was Wilson and that happened really quickly.

I really like the way he plays in the wide areas. He's different to our other wingers. He's a dribbler, he likes to get into the front third. He can play either side, he can play central. He's had a really good development if you look at his trajectory from PSG as a youngster to Troyes, playing in Ligue 1, and France and Premier League football before the age of 19. I think he ticked all the boxes for us and he's a fantastic young bloke as well, so really happy to get him in.

With all the players we've signed, I think irrespective of age we’re signing them because we think they can make an impact. I certainly see that with Wilson. He's a year older than Archie and Lucas and they’ve already made an impact. We sign players because we're still in that stage of building a team. I won’t bring players here who I don’t think can meaningfully contribute to us in the short-term and Wilson definitely will.”
He's lying. Just toeing the company line. A Levy hack if I ever saw one. #AngeOut
 
It is incredible how we have gone into this season with a weaker squad than last season. Anyone telling me two youngsters who have had 30 minutes of Premier League football are good enough not to sign another midfielder. We are not going to see Richarlison for half a season after he starts this weekend. We have to play more matches with less players this season

Surely the club must realise?

Even they couldnt be this blind or stupid could they?
 

Bloody typical, but sounds like hopefully back next week.
It's fucking ridiculous.

Bentancur was rarely injured before he joined us. Then gets crocked for 7 months in first full season.
VdV ripped his hammy after 3 months and was out for 2.
Solanke, 1 game! 1 fricking game?!

I know it's not a bad injury, but it's still REALLY annoying.

I fear for Odobert, he must be shitting it.

To be fair, van de Ven had fucked his hamstring before he even signed for us.

And he'll likely fuck it again at some point.

I think it also proves we are probably one of the most hated club that opposing teams like to tackle/challenge us much more than others.
