Chelsea have won a bloody Champions League in the meantime.
Liverpool didn't run City closest with those players. They finished below us ( I think) in 2018. They started getting close to them, the moment they spent a shit load on Allisson and Van Dijk. Don't try to rewrite history.
Just not Ange. Or Conte. Or Nuno. Or Jose. Or Poch. Or AVB. Or Redknapp. Or Ramos. Or Jol. Or Hoddle. Or Graham.
Nope, it's Thomas Frank. All contradictions will be resolved in the light of his glorious truth.
Not losing any sleep on this one.
"Unlikely".... Not impossible.
You are I have no idea how much time was or "wasn't" wasted on Paz.......
We allegedly threw in a 50m bid then followed up with 70m to force the matter, but the player declined...
So be it. Shoot your shot and move on. Nothing suggests it was some drawn out saga.
You're kinda proving my point.
Did say earlier in window this will be record transfer spend. Think its 2.5 billion atm. Crazy. All the problems in the world yet football clubs spend 2.5 billion on football players and agents. Ludicrous tbh.
Posting in here as most read, but will be a deep dive into us on MNF
Ah ffs.
WiFi is currently down and probably wont be sorted today so im living off limited data so can't watch the match tonight and will.miss that!
It's 100% that. None would know the truth if they saw it and of course as a result neither do we.
What we do however know as fact is that we don't have the quantity or quality of players to be competitive this season.
He would not say yes.
I’ve heard we’re after Harry El Winks
Last time we finished 2nd we held our star players, but spent little due to our stadium build.
vs
When the scum built their stadium they sold all their stars; laying the ground for 22+ years with an EPL.
On a serious note, if it isn't this one. Then who the fuck are we bringing in, I suspect nobody else will come now.
We are going into the season with two games a week with what we have.
But, a season of CL money keeps Enic happy, and they hope Frank can turn water into wine with the squad.
A recipe for disaster is lurking around the corner at some point.
I dunno. I think they were right about MGW and Eze.
and that's at least a part of the problem. All that public noise alerted too many people.
We as fans love to know what's going on, but I'd bet the club would much rather it was locked down and quiet.

Agreed. Quite phenomenal and absolutely contrarion to many of the issues of the day.
But neither can it be an excuse for us playing the relative pauper in a rich man's world
Explain your working.
Why would Real Madrid take below market value for him, and why would the player take a pay cut to come to Spurs?
I mean, the unlikely bit being, "hey Nico, would you rather play for Spurs or Real?" Have a bit of cop on and step back and ask yourself, "what would I do?".
Literally one second spent on that deal is time wasted. And you know when they've gone to make a bid, you'd hope that there was a lot of due diligence, tapes studied, data analysed etc. It's not like FM and you just sign a player out of nowhere.
It's a punt on an asset that isn't attainable, so every second wasted, is a waste of time. Don't really get your point. This is a very obvious "Look, we tried" move. Much like Rogers. This is the same as Dybala and Martinez.
Not worth getting rejected by anyone else at this point in the window, better off making no effort to sign players
