Genuinely the only players I'd be bothered about keeping around are Gray, Bergvall, Spence and VdV if we can get a coach to keep him fit, everyone else I truly couldn't give a fuck about.

Think VDV is very good, but can’t stay fit.
I’m so alienated from this group, Spence went on the shit list for wearing sunglasses indoors.

Not for 50m imo.
Lenglet Deluxe
Not to worry - we aren’t getting him - all the big clubs are interested and Levy won’t pay the wages required.
If they are then we aren’t, fully agreed mate.
There’s a really good player in there. We just have an absolutely shit coach.
Don’t say that- we really do have good players. Ange is maybe the worst conventional football coach I’ve ever seen. WORST. ABSOLUTE FUCKING WORST.
I can’t even think of another coach with such a ridiculous tactical approach. They don’t make it to this level I think.
RM aren’t handing out big fees quite as much as they used to. There’s a lot more teasing out interest under the table these days.
That’s a big ask
Maybe… Stones could play 6 or even 8 at a push, he’s 3x as mobile.
And 3x as injured
Stones couldn't do any of that until he became Stones under Pep
you can just tell with some players what their level is. Sarr’s technique lets him down back to goal or under pressure. Hes going to be in those situations in spells during games no matter who the manager is. He’s a useful squad player. There are players that will more than likely improve though.
Almost all our transfer business is opportunistic, it's never about getting the best player we can.
Levy looks at players with contracts running out, players who aren't playing, players with release clauses, players who won't demand top salaries, players we could swap etc. The first priority is to get a bargain.
Look at our midfield options and it sums it up:
Bissouma (contract running down and possible court case against him)
Bentancur (unwanted squad player at Juventus)
Kulusevski (unwanted squad player at Juventus)
Sarr (young prospect)
Bergvall (young prospect)
Gray (young prospect)
Maddison (relegated)
We don't have one midfielder that we signed because they were elite or proven at the absolute highest level. It's all players we got a nice deal on. The focus is never on buying the best players.
It will never change
We're going to put Angel Gomes on 100k a week because there is a bargain to be done and levy can feel like he's won
I think hes a starting quality CM for us- but he's young and won't turn into a good player without good coaching.
Ange is making our players WORSE.
Would be perfect for out RWF. If we go head to head with Newcastle they will go harder and get him.
