Mate, I thought better of you than to get sucked into twitter drama and narrative.

Who's frantically searching for his replacement?

What LW have you seen us frantically reported to be scrambling after?
I mean Savinho at a minimum.

And he's already behind Johnson and Odobert at that position, which is just a matter of Frank playing the guys who help the team.

He will get opportunities, he's young, improvement is possible. But he has already played here quite a bit, and just looks totally at sea. That wasn't a sensible purchase in the absence of a clear need and role for him, something that was impossible 48 hours after hiring Frank.

Seems a serious, hard-working kid, I've got no ill-will towards him.
 
- Max Aarons didn't look good..... He was pony in the EPL...... Once the champo hype faded it was over.
- Lampty was quick and that's about it.

Both young players with massive price-tags (esp. when you consider inflation!) despite doing fuck all, that at most were a flash in the pan; yet if the foot-stompers had their way we would have signed.

Just some perspective given the "Tel is the worst 40m of all time" narrative.
I’m genuinely not angry with Tel. He’s done nothing wrong

Ok but come on bro... no 10 ok i can at least see that narrative being mentioned.... but we are not frantically looking for his replacement, one link for a very expensive, huge talent that would allow Tel and Odobert to get mins without the pressure clearly being put on them by some.
 
There’s the excuse.

Levy will sit on his hands and claim it’s best to wait for the Paratici to return.
Kind of feels premeditated doesn’t it. Know Paratici is coming back, make these faux ‘bids’ to show we’re willing to spend knowing full well they aren’t happening then putting the failures on Lange.

There was no Paz bid, I don’t believe there was an Eze bid. Glasner saying don’t believe everything you read and we had to wait for them to find a replacement. They knew full well he was going to Woolwich. Savinho no bid either. Or atleast no serious interest. It’s all been a big con this summer. Like those Aguero, Lautaro, Guehi ‘bids’ and many more. Levy out
 
You support the club, not the players?? Yet you have a players name as your name on here.... how does that work??

Fucking hell.

He is a 21 year old kid. He deserves the chance to show what he can do under Frank.

You see a tiny fraction of what he is capable of. You dont see him in training, how he applies himself, anything.

Folks were writing off Bergvall at the start of last season, Sarr at the end of last season....
Again, stop avoiding the question. What is he so good at that I, a mere mortal can't see, that you in your divine knowledge can?

Stats back up the theory that he's absolutely average or below average at basically everything.

Bergvall cost €15m, and you could see there was quality there right away. He made mistakes, as kids do, but some of the stuff he did, you thought "there's a player in there". Tel, has shown absolutely nothing.

I don't have a players name as my username, oh wise one. I think you'll find that mine spells 'Papa' we have a player called 'Pape'.

Giving him a chance is detriment to team performance. He's not cut out for this level as of now, I doubt ever, so he needs to show what he can do somewhere else in the short term.

Lange has likely been fired, and from crying on the phone to get him to come, to stumping up crazy money to get him, has very likely coincided with this.

There's being a supporter and there's being a happy clapper who can't think objectively. You are the latter.
 
Makes sense Levy would go crawling back to Don Fab.

Dipped his toe into the PL experienced market and shelled out 65m for Solanke only for Frank to bench him. The best he could manage with another 110m was Johnson and Richarlison.
Publicly humiliated by Forest, Palace and the scum.

Levy has burned all bridges with his PL contemporaries. They all bully him and send photoshopped pics of him in the WhatsApp.

Going and pillaging broke European clubs for their cast offs is way more his style.
