This is Levy wanting to win the PL and CL. I'm not convinced by Frank, but hes been well and truly shafted.

This has confused me. If Son hasn't declined then how can Odobert be better?
I think Son has been a shadow of himself since the 22/23 season. Got a 13 minute hat trick in Game 7. Then 7 more all season.
Doesn't really beat men, shoot from range, or do much at all these days other than bring in crowds of countrymen.
"Losing" Son now is nothing like losing say Berbatov, Carrick, Modric, Bale or Kane.
It's possible.
Son wouldn't get that though.
I just something quite similar in another thread.
Frank wasn't my first choice, at all, but if/when the wheels fall off, there's only one person to blame.
Farce.
Son has declined, but less than people are saying.
I just really rate Odobert, he always catches the eye and I think he's going to wind up a nailed-on starter this season even if we purport to sign someone "ahead" of him (bar Rodrygo or something).
Well that's load of garbage though...
Alderweireld. Wanyama. Trippier. Parker. Dembele. Friedel. Defoe.
Alderweireld could be potentially top 3 to top 5 signings of past 15 years. Dembele clearly in top 10.
We technically brought Toby from Atleti but right after he had finished exceptional season for Saints. So he was very much EPL proven.
There are some regarding whom the jury is still out - Solanke and Maddisson. Latter being on plus side, former so far (considering fee) on rather minus side.
Also by far our most pathetic flops have been from outside of EPL - Ndombele, Lo Celso, Soldado, Sanchez, Janssen, Gil, N'ije, Nkoudou.
So our recruitment have been absolute mixed bag buying both - from EPL and outside of EPL. Both have large share of flops. Both have absolute hits.
Id say 7 for a midfield 3 is adequate. Would not want any less than that. We are already down to 5!
Gray, palhinha, bents, sarr, begvall, kulu and maddison.
We now need 1 good enough to replicate what maddison could when fit.
Biss is going.
You're just saying that because we haven't seen Vuskovic play in the PL.
The unknown is more intriguing than a backup CB we already have.
Best for Vuskovic to get regular playing time somewhere else
That’s not true. Over the past 60 years we never finished top 6 even three seasons in a row until ENIC. We just haven’t been consistent contenders for the league.The past 60 years? Since 1965, it that what you're really saying?
Since the 1990's maybe (though that would disregard Pochettino), but the 1960's!
You're either too young or your memory is not what it used to be! Otherwise you're just making things up.
And forget CL - we never qualified for that or the European cup.
So no - there’s no reason to think we’d be league or champions league challengers.
Ah, with you.
Son is, at best, a poacher these days.
He used to terrify teams with pace and ability to take on multiple people and score from range.
Now he mostly just frustrates us, his own fans.
I'm glad he's gone now, on a high, and not left past his best and just fully hindering the team or never even getting a game.
Can I have a clue , right now I’m at a complete loss as to which short bald fool is to blame
The alternative is still out injured and will be coming back from an ACL injury, huge risk if that's the plan.
Fermin Lopez was not a part of Barcelona's friendly earlier today, just sayin'. I'm taking the route of 'It's happening', so don't tell me quite yet if he was out with an injury
Ah shoot. Was hoping that link was false and probably is anyway.
And that is the only cult right?
People who see devil in every Levy decision, they are perfectly balanced, right ?
Got it!
The one running the show. That bald little weasel.
As you full well know.
