West Ham got a Champions League place after last year's summer transfer window if I remember correctly.

This was really good analysis and interesting for a few reasons
1. It’s clear that Frank will adapt to most of the current tactical trends so it will be fascinating to see how much of a difference that makes to the outcome of our season and also to see how the media intelligentsia react and choose to cover the club now,
2. Both of the analysts and host all agreed that the profile we really need is the deep lying playmaker in the CM pivot. I don’t know football like those 2 but fully agree what we really need is another player in MF who can pass.
This is interesting to me because every summer we seem to have on obvious profile or 2 missing and always seem to fill that role a year late. I.e CBs after Conte and a 1v1 specialist after Ange.
Well AFC & LFC spent bugger all last season so you'd expect theirs to be comparatively higher this season......... Man C is same old same old (yet suprisingly low given their broader reputation). CFC is the usual bent mayhem boosted by the cash influx world club cup win.
As per TFM (euros) :
AFC: Last season: 25.2m (n) / This season (so far): 134.8m > Avg: 80m (n)

(***That's fucking nuts when you look at all their ins and outs....... The (red) scum have a LOT to answer for!)
.............If anything all those 2 year averages look suprisingly low (even if you add on the numbers for pending deals for Gykores & Ekitike).
FWIW:
Spurs: Last season: 130m (n) / This season (so far): 127.1m (n) > Avg: 128.55 (n)

Maybe next season. Maybe he is now. We’re in this position because we are so stacked at CB, else he might have been the 5th CB this season, especially if we hadn’t won Europa, finished low and had much lower expectations and lower prestige comps. In that context he’d probably be an acceptable 5th choice CB. Fate changed that and now we’re somewhere else. Also Vuskovic happened. Anyways…
He's a 20 y/o CB.... With continued regular football, there's absolutely no reason why he can't develop further and at the very least become a depth option for us.
Oof- guess he really does kinda suck.
I doubt ENIC will ever want outside investment; it will dilute their control. Our best hope is that they start looking for return on their investment i.e. a take over, but they'd want top dollar. Might be where the "win the EPL and CL" thing comes from. That will really elevate our value. Levy and Lewis are also getting on.
But that's just my opinion, which is worth shit
That's the beauty part of selling a minority stake though, get some return on the investment but also retain control.
My hunch is the 3 of them are being ambitious and are actually trying to win the CL
Ridiculous.
Even more so than that chap who used to call our own fat Greek bastard Angelos.
That’s nice but did their CEO do a video with their chairman talking about wine ?
Too bad they don't stand a chance with us in it
Badass Daniel going to fuck them up
They spent 12m last year.
Its almost August and we signed one player in a positon we were arguably already strong. Bit of a disaster so far.
This, the difference is there for all to see between the ambitious clubs and those that pretend to be ambitious.
