I don't see a world in which Akliouche is not a total flop.
The question is how bad does he flop. Will it be a Lo Celso flop or a Bryan Gill flop?

They had agreed a basic outline of a deal just incase they managed to sell a couple of their attackers (which they haven't so far) but it looked like they weren't going to be coming back for him and we were more or less in the clear but Levy penny pinched and by the time he had actually agreed a fee with them Havertz got injured and they moved to seal a deal NOT on the terms they originally agreed to but paying quite a bit more.
Couldn't agree more.
Spurs suffer a massive set back so it's no surprise to see the nasty, vindictive, humourless carrion muncher nasm_f appear from his lair.
I'm obv not an expert but I saw a couple vids of him and I just don't get it.
He looks alright. But I have no idea why there's so much hype. But again, could just be me being ignorant.
He wasn't let down, because he was absolutely wretched and even with better/more players, he wouldn't have been able to put together a decent side.
This man was let down:

This dunce?
He won the bloody lottery when he got the job, never should have been employed, and should have been sacked numerous times over before finally getting the boot.
We aren't buying Savinho, Rogers or the kid from Monaco.
It'll be someone like BEK or Dibling. Young and available and totally not what we need right now.

Goons have been tucked up.
That's wonderful, won't sign him though will we...
I don't think we are buying anyone
And I think this was always the plan

Copium pure and simple.
Yep you're right. Then Frank will get the blame when we inevitably finish 8th, fans will be moaning he was the wrong appointment in the first place and Levy will win again.
The club are to blame themselves.
I don't believe it's real but dropping 80 mill on Savinho. When you could have just upped the bid for MGW from the outset.
Our issue is that our planning is nonsensical and opportunistic. I don't believe we had any intention of going for MGW, it was only because we got wind of the release clause through backdoor ways that we bid.
Eze was never really an option, we know Woolwich wanted him from before the window started.
Savinho isn't an option really either because City want to keep him and we know that they probably up the asking price to place that we won't ever bid.
Hincapie for 60M, leverkusen weren't interested in selling him, especially after selling wirtz and frimpong to Liverpool. It'll only weaken them more.
If you look deeper at the optics we go for players that we know are just out of reach but make out that we're making an effort.
Dibling was likely someone we had identified. This transfer fits with our modus operandi, buy young, hopefully increase their value, try to sell for profit. We've gone back to the Jol/Arnesen model.
waiting for the PR Rodrygo loan rumours to start to last us until the end of the window
"Dibbers has turned out to be a lot better than I thought, a lot of people won't like it but they've got to give a lot of a credit to Levy for signing him"
Agreed, but would players want to play for THFC if we offered them decent, competitive wages?
So was Kane and he doesn't support them.
