Not saying this is true buuuuut

It has gone quiet on his contract renewal and tbh I’m not that bothered. If there was a buyer, I’d be ok taking the money tbh.

Replacing Biss and Bentancur in a summer is pretty doable imo.


the Uruguayans contract, the players camp expect a new salary closer to £150,000 a week which has been a sticking point due to the recent injury record.


Yeah, that and the fact that he’s fucking shit and moves like a fucking wardrobe.
 
Frank has been here what three weeks?

Two signings made before he officially started?

You don't want him to spend any time with the squad, just buy, buy, buy without any hands on experience of our current players?

Football Manager has a lot to answer for.
Listen Daniel, we all know what we need, we have known for a long time and I am sure someone as experienced as Thomas Frank knows as well. We have had the same excuses for decades. Our rivals have strengthened with Liverpool showing how a real team does proper business and with the money we generate there is no reason why we cannot do the same if we wanted to, but we all know why we don't , so please stop making excuses for the way we/levy acts.
 
Edit
I’m taking Mbuemo out and swapping in Semenyo, not just because Mbuemo looks ManU bound, but because I think there’s more potential upside with Semenyo. His underlying XG/XA are very similar to Mbuemo, and unlike Mbuemo, Semenyo is not a pen taker. Semenyo is two footed, better 1v1 and works his nuts off without the ball. Needs to improve his actual output, but that is doable with his skill set.

I’ll stick Simons on the list too as he’s good and we’ve been linked.

Levy spotted in Turin
 
What is this actually based on?

Nuno was a placeholder for Conte, he wasn't even put first choice and was treated as such, everyone knew it hence why he wasn't really respected.
Thats just not true. The club hired Nuno to be a rebuild manager but his style of football did not suit at all. The club then panicked and wen't for a win now manager in Conte and gave up on the rebuild idea.
 
So this good player Kudu is worth £60-80 m and our player Kulu, HIGHLY rated by oppo fans , is worth £20m?
Celtic just sold a forward you have never heard of for £20m and posters here think Solomon is only worth the same?
Its amazing how so many of our fans underrated our best players and then totally overrate opposition players.

A lot of West Ham fans would swap Kudus for Kulusevski! West Ham fans hating on their player, Spurs fans hating on their player. Its a madness.

Course it is.

Levy's already got his minions briefed..."Go find me two players like Biss & Bentancur, just cheaper"

"Yes, but Dear Leader, they won't be as good on the pitch, knowing Rod & Biss were already limited."

"First, get the PR team to write something up about how they were Thomas' primary targets all along, how he's delighted to see the club get them over the line...and how I played a key role in the negotiations. Second, you are fired."

Lol we were chasing about 4 managers before we even got to Conte in the Summer, he turned us down and then we hired Nuno because we were running out of time.
