We all need to be careful about the terminology we sometimes use to describe matters related to football.

Probably shouldn't have even had a parade.
How often does buying players from relegated clubs work out really?Ffs. I think for the money this would have made loads of sense - even if we get somebody else with more experience.
Yep, nailed on certainty in dealing with crosses tooHe's more of a goalie though isn't he?
After all everyone knows Jesus saves.
Loan with obligation is a way of trying not to have to pay any of the transfer fee until next summer. Seems like Levy is keeping the money he had for MGW/Eze for something else.I'm sure they have. But apparently it was a loan w/obligation, whereas Woolwich have offered them the amount they want to get it done now.
More dithering and wasting time and the inevitable happens.
I blame Vinai for this window. Things were bad before he got here, but this window? It is beyond bad. What changed?
He got here before the end of last season and had enough time to impact SOPs of the club. Well, he certainly is showing a promising start to his Spurs job.
They won the Champions League though, and now have won the bloody Club World Cup, while now they're being talked about as outside title contenders.
As for Liverpool, they wouldn't have won shit without spending big. They spent big on Allisson and VVD, and THEN reaped the rewards. That side that you mentioned without those 2 players? Yeah, they finished 4th. Back at the time, the media were laughing at them because they would either win or lose 4-3.
You can spin it WHATEVER way you want it, you can't compete without spending massively these times. We have the luxury to spend continuously, unlike clubs like Villa and Newcastle, and yet here we are trying to hijack Palace for El fucking Khannous. It's embarrasing.
Of course we want to be competing at the top table both in competition and transfers, but I was responding to a statement that the gooners didn’t give a shit about the Europa win, when I know first hand from several gooner colleagues, associates, friends and unfortunately family that they very much do care that we won a trophy and they didn’t!Come on man, it was obviously a really nice moment given our lack of trophies in the past 20 years but beyond that weekend I doubt any of the big clubs cared outside of Man Utd ofcourse. We want to be in a position where we never get to compete for the Europa League because we're in the premier competition above it.
As he should!Levy would sooner let his arm fall off than cough up £15 million in agent fees for Akliouche’s representative.

We all need to be careful about the terminology we sometimes use to describe matters related to football.
Paz is sensational. There's a reason Real aren't letting it happen. Good Lord.And we won't be able to shift them because of their valuation/wages.
And neither El-Kabanoss or PEZ moves the needle for me, we don't need boys we need men.

Mid. Bournemouth would also ask a fortune
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.
If I were Akilouche I’d probably be wondering why the fuck this guy is helping himself to 1/3rd % of my advertised fee?
Or, there was no money. Which is probably more likely.Loan with obligation is a way of trying not to have to pay any of the transfer fee until next summer. Seems like Levy is keeping the money he had for MGW/Eze for something else.
And loaning out Donley.
And there's fuck all you can do about it.It’s being fed up with an ownership that never builds from strength , historically it consolidates at best or even allows us to slip back
They're deadwood. We won't use them this season, so we might as well get rid. I don't even think we can register them in the Champions League.
Doesn't have the passing range
