Frank will have spoken to Romero.
There’s no chance we’re going for this nugget
That’s been debunked
As soon as Sky got wind of their precious gooners hijacking Eze, they cooked up the most inflammatory story that might be remotely believable. They live for moments to dunk on Spurs
Let me rephrase it in a sufficiently civil way.
Do you agree that the club have had opportunities to transform our prospects from 'decent' to 'special' and missed the opportunity for them for financial reasons?
Why do people think this?
He’s never had one good performance for us
That better be a lie. Am I jury prone pile of hot stuff from that crooked club.
That would be the icing on a flat cake
I appreciate what you are trying to do here.
Clearly there have been some positives in the window too.
But few things you missed -
Negatives:
- many our competitors have strenghtened their sides significantly more than us which means on relative terms we've became weaker
- unlike with most competitors, last season brought out issue of our thin squad; coupled with need of playing in Champions League there was bigger gap to fill thus higher expectations on the window than for most others
These are harder to quantify factors but they are still very much there.
So to sum it up - not enough has been done in reality.
I’m retreating to my nuclear bunker

If Manor Solomon ends up being our best left sided player this season then I would worry greatly for all our other left wingers, and for the fucking tragic season that would imply.
What? Seriously?
You are clearly hysterical if you think that whenever someone answers question (and in fact did not say that this is good strategy- literally just answered what the stategy is!) is Levy for that.
If everyone have to just cry here in a circle than it is on you, not others, sorry
.
I dont rate him at all. We only got him because he was free and i didnt want him then. I just happen to think the other 2 options there dont look close to playing 40 or 50 games a season to any sort of level. A sensible club would have them out on loan. Its just a fucking mess.
Johnson, Tel, and Odobert have all done more in a Spurs shirt and start LW over him.
Why?
What is wrong with people?
I was asked a question about what I thought a strategy was - and because I gave an answer that wasn't driven by emotion or my hatred for another human being, I am that human being?
Honestly, supporting this team does weird things to people.

I think you are right when you talk about this one player and one potential transfer in isolation.
But when you look at wider picture, our current squad and recent signings, then it might not be best fit FOR US at THIS POINT IN TIME.
It is also possible that once he joins Palace he becomes next Eze, Wharton, Bowen, Watkins type... but if he'd join us, he wouldn't get there. Cause player of his statue would get lot more chances and attention in club like Palace..
Yes, to a degree. I don't think the missed opportunities are ALWAYS financial reasons, some clearly are - personally, I don't see Eze as being in that category, but there have, of course, been others that are.
But I was asked what I thought our strategy was - and I gave an answer, which, judging by the players we have bought the last few years, seems pretty accurate.
