How many of these protests have you attended, John?Errr. ..maybe not....but perhaps the Thousands protesting last season, the associated mass media coverage across all reputable channels such as the BBC, and the ever present threat of them resurfacing in the future probably had more impact than the likes Bill from Madrid or Cockney Ben from Paris wiping his arse and kissing his feet every night and day...
Imagine a club being run by ENIC with zero pressure from the fans....
Good grief
Why? Seems the smart links are Lange. Paratici has lumbered us with Kulusevski, Bentancur, Gil, Udogie, Richarlison, Johnson….even Romero is fucking iffy
Probably 7.5/10For example, he claimed we were 8/11 odds of signing Morgan Rogers yesterday. Three times I asked him where he'd got that from, guess what? Silence. Just a complete and utter lier, there's no other word for it. And of course utterly disingenuous with any opinions on how we operate as a club - expectations expressed that we will be useless, followed by disappointment that we've not hit ludicrously high standards - how can it possibly be both?
I'm fine with people being disappointed after the MGW and Eze messes, but anyone who fails to recognise that we've turned it around and actually now had a very good window is either just being a dick for sake of hating on the board, or is just an incredibly miserable negative person who will never see good or optimism in anything. God only knows what such people must be like in real life. :/
Recognising that it's pretty much impossible / unheard of to fill all holes and requirements in a single window, two weeks ago ours was maybe 6/10 - now surely 8/10 at least (recent key injuries don't help the squad of course, but you can't cover everything, injuries are not the fault of the recruitment team).
7pm but there's a 2 hour grace period to finalise deals that have been submitted.
We'll make do with Odobert, Tel and Johnson. Maybe stick Muani or Richy on the left. Don't think we'll get one at this stage.
Four if your Woolwich7pm but there's a 2 hour grace period to finalise deals that have been submitted.
I've always thought the same and whilst I have been underwhelmed with a lot of players we have signed over the years, even before they kicked a ball for us, our fans seemed to get excited about them and almost made excuses for them. e.g. Solomon being signed, for me was a "WTF" moment. But loads of fans seemed happy with it. Same with Odobert and many others. Honestly, I didn't fancy Solanke either and still don't. Until we start buying players that other clubs would love you have, like Simons, then we aren't going to compete with them.Too often, It’s just one level of shite being replaced by another. We just go round in circles every year. Danso is ok though, I’d give him a pass.
For all we know he could be the one working on outgoings today.
One year loan, no obligation, homegrown, as an all else failed option for that left forward position we could do worse.
There's no working that out in short order, mate.Levy sanctioned close to £120m on Odobert Tel and Johnson. He’s basically telling Frank “work it out”. That’s why we hired him, he won’t complain like Conte and Jose did.
Uh oh!What do you mean "lumbered" us with Udogie, Kulu, Johnson,, Bentancur and Romero.
You live in an alternative universe better known as stupid.

8/11 that question goes unanswered.

I do think both Tel and Odders have talent and could make the spot their own in a best case scenario. But it’s very clear the club isn’t looking to compete this season, they’re targeting 27/28.
