Nice tone compared to that out of depth baldie B Tech Pep at FC Russia
Right footed players can play LCB
I couldn't give a fuck as long as we win on Sunday!!
Meat and potatoes of it all is this:
Solanke IS an upgrade on Richie, but BOTH are unavailable Sunday, so we're no better or worse than we were...
If Lankshear is fit for Sunday, he's in the Squad... and THEN we'll see what we've got on our hands...
I still want Eze... But as The Stones once said: "You can't alwayeze get what you want..."

The thing is you mention Goons, City , Liverpool and Villa - They all finished above us and I'd go all out and make a guess that bar Villa they are all going to finish in the Top 4 this season - that leaves (potentially) 1 place up for grabs.
I have said before we have an exciting squad and its hard to tell if we will finish 1st or 10th at the minute , its also all good buying exciting Young players but if they don't think they have a chance of winning something with us we will just end up a stepping Stone and feeder club.
He would have to be there until January regardless, you can't recall and play loan players in the same window. So it was loan or don't loan not have a recall
More chance of you eating Alfie Allen's sausage.

Real Betis happy to sell him to us for 50m+ but only happy to offer 6m for him.
Might be middle ground between 30m and 6m, if they treble their bid !
- Man City and Arse are mostly irrelevant as they are miles ahead and we are playing catch up. Additionally Gundogan is an incredible signing and Calafori is good for Arse.
- Liverpool have an incredible front line but needed a ‘6’. That is what stands between them and fighting for the title. So disappointing for them.
- Villa and Newcastle have had mostly poor windows although Onana is useful.
- Brighton and West Ham have had on paper a good window, very good players but question marks about integrating them all.
- Chelsea if they get Osimhen and Sancho have had an outstanding buying window but Boehly environment is shit.
As for us we ideally needed a player who can cover LCB and LB so Hincapie would have been good.
I'm sure Ange himself does. But can you imagine him knocking on Levy's office door today
Not sure what better players were available to acquire this season. Very few
Its clear we needed to bring in younger players, and like Poch, Ange prefers them as they are more malleable and prepared to adapt to his system, so no surprises we have gone for younger players. Totally different to Conte who only wanted older experienced players ...... hence Richarlison one of his younger choices, or Perisic at over 30 his usual choice.
Most of younger players, being on long contracts will be with us for a few years before any chance of moving on. And by that time squad will have improved again in later windows
One player to walk into the starting 11.
And he wasn't exactly one that the fans got excited about.
Yeah. I bet all your sad sack pals agree with you.
On ignore you go with the other mugs.
He’s not saying there would be a full sale, just a partial one which could bring in money for investment that ENIC aren’t willing to make… but these wage cuts are so ENIC can get a better price for their partial sale.
Weird take.
The selfish thing for any manager to do is take the short term view and plug every gap in the squad.
The selfless thing is to look past the security of his own job and take the longer term view of not blocking the pathways of Phillips/Vuskovic just to get a body in there. Even keeping Phillips around would have been a more selfish thing to do than sending him out to develop.
Negative for negative's sake from you.
Proving once again the actual football team is the bottom of their priorities.
I really struggle to see why people fail to understand this.
They're not stupid.
We'll release him from his contract if he doesn't sell tonight/to another country before their window closes.
He's worthless with a year on his contract and no chance of playing any part now.
