I've never previously considered it an insult..... I certainly wouldn't have applied it to Dembele if so.
Let's get there first, but I think with legitimacy that questions would need to be asked.
Put this way, if the Gobbs-White saga was us seeking to complete the squad puzzle I would be reasonably relaxed, with a view that the squad was all but ready.
At present and as I have stated,in my opinion we are short by 2 or 3, and whilst a few clubs are also failing to add, none of those clubs finished a pathetic 17th.
The Levy / ENIC thread was classic.
I had my usual stalkers following me around demanding I get on my knees and give Levy head.
Yes.
Cause there is inherent value of having exclusively players 17-25.
It automatically makes the side better (and 30yo players inherently worse) right?
Fucksake.
We also need a player that can close down the channels and win back the ball.
Not all of our midfielders have to have Maddisson passing range/creativity.
Palinha would be an amazing signing, most proven and high quality than literally any of the alternative.
I'm not too hot on Palhinha. I think he's very limited on the ball and his he's suspect in the air, he loses a lot of aerial balls and 50/50s - I think he's an excellent destroyer and will put out a lot of fires for us so our defensive numbers will improve a lot but boy oh boy we're gonna have problems breaking down a low block and progressing the ball
I think as a short term option it's fine but for a long term option we need someone better, not at least someone who is able to progress the ball from that area.

doesnt want to ruin his relationship with the club or their fans with is fair.
Unfortunately for us and perhaps for him you need to sometimes act like a cunt in order to get a move. Even Kane pulled a cunt card out of the deck to try and get a man city move. Doesnt always work but it can help as the coach thinks its just not worth hanging on to someone half arsed and disruptive
I share your reservations about Palhinha; but if he's supporting Madz & Berg and we lack creativity, doesn't that ask sterner questions about the latter 2?
It's absolutely shocking.
Scandalous, even...all things considered
No because the questions will come when he's on the ball and needs to play between the lines, the same questions have been asked of players like Declan Rice when he has the ball and isn't able to progress the ball quick enough before the oppo defence gets settled.
Well they must have been pretty happy as they won the league, we finished 17th. We need players more than they do.
Paulinha is a downgrade on Bentancur. I hope this rumour is the usual lies we hear every day regarding signings. He offers very little apart from getting booked. He does not improve us.
I get that but as you say sometimes act like a cunt, especially when everyone (Marinakis) else is!
Has MGW flown off with Forest today?
Been obvious for a week now
Have we kept our powder dry today?
