I actually appreciate a discussion around the evidence.
You’re right to say that. The issue is that nothing supports the first. And the second (from a good source) paints a different picture.

Think we will get Wissa. Not sure if that means Johnson is at risk unless Frank wants to develop him in training during season. Think we will get that kalimuendo as well as striker.
Kane was our Berbatov replacement essentially. But for the most part, if you're not willing to splash the cash, strikers typically command the highest fees, so no wonder the bargain bucket players haven't worked out.Always been difficult quarry. We were wandering in the wilderness before we got lucky and found Harry Kane in a box in the attic.
Solano was unlucky, there didn't seem to be any rhyme not reason why he just forgot how to score. Paying big bucks for 'Plan A' Solanke though was just a disgrace. We'll have to go into another season with him as the focal point because Levy isn't going to cut his losses after a year. I said he'd be Deadwood before we even got him. It's insane to me. One good season on the PL and they panic bought. I don't see a top 10 side from last season who he starts for. Everton who finished 13th I think he'd start for. Ridiculous.
That takes us from 17th to 10-8th.
We're not getting Simons, absolute pipe dream.
The manager is the difference in the finals and semis. Playing an unfit Harry Kane after telling the media you'd quit if you won, and that it would be a miracle. Putting Son at LB against Chelsea in the semis.
You don't really need the best players to win Cups - it's single-game strategies. This past season highlighted that more than ever
So help me understand, according to you why our best sale we did was Trippier in last 10 years (other than kane ofcourse) ?
Whole point of the discussion was why the hell are our transfer sales so bad ?
My point was, we settle for 2nd best.
As for as Mane - Jack Pitt Brooke also went into detail in one of the View from lane podcast. Mane was just a example. Grealish was other well known example where we tried to penny pinch and end up losing. Anyway, I will not post more & digress
Needs to hit the gym and put on a load of muscle. Hopefully the new training team will see this and get him built up.
RKM isn’t coming. I said this in January when we were linked. French players love Juve.
I'm damning with faint praise, but the Yorks are actually some of the least Trumpy and more progressive owners in American sports.
That only makes them middle ground people, but they're not Trumpy.
"sales need to be made first"
Plus he isnt a clickbait transfer whore like a lot of them.
Chavski look like they are going back in for Garnacho meaning there could be an opening for Simons.
In your opinion, which I respect, but not for me. Just not consistent enough!

Yeah he could well be the kind of player who makes others flourish. A bit like when Scott Parker came in and let the others play.
I just hope nobody starts a thread on him until he is actually signed.
