Seems the current noise is it’s almost exactly like when Levy was here. We’ll be looking for opportunities, leaving it late in the window, the same old shit. The Lewis Family is just ENIC rebranded.
If they wanted to change things, you go and identify the two best players that aren’t at super clubs and make offers their clubs can’t turn down and the players wages they can’t turn down. But it’s same old, same old.
Feel like Lange moving in silence is an excuse to do fuck all until the last minute

He’s not like Simons physically. He’s 6ft tall and physically stronger.

At the risk of sounding repetitive I am amazed anyone thought we were going to do something we have never done under ENIC. Spend an obscene amount of money on transfers. To be fair, ENIC have always spent but not on wages and that is the issue. Chavs have Sterling pissing around with the Academy players earning 300k a week for the rest of this season and next. Does is stop them? No, they dive straight back in. We get burnt by Ndombele and shit the bed at the thought of paying anyone 200k plus a week. Whether you like it or not here is the predicament.At least we now know the Lewis family bollox about new on the pitch ambition was a lie and it's business as usual.
So maybe Frank is the perfect guy for them really, won't rock the boat trying to win titles, happy to work with what he's given and take the abuse.
Might as well extend Davies and richarlison contract while they're at it

We just have to get smarter, I blame us entirely. We keep hiring people who don’t have the first clue about how to do their jobs effectively - from board level to managers and players.
The problem with having limited people at the top is they don’t hire good people below them who may outshine them and take their job - so you just get layers of mediocrity. We’re crying out for someone with some footballing vision, or a nutty multi billionaire who would happily go bust in the pursuit of seeing us win

How do we tell Locatelli that he needs to leave Juventus for us. Him and his family are massive Juve fans.
He's also their Captain and since Spalleti is there they have a chance to get back in a title race.
I’d miss Ben Davies thoughIf Real Madrid decided that they wanted to plunder our current squad , I think I could learn to accept and live with it

Highly unlikely City sells Trafford in this window but if it's a loan with option then we ought to be interested.
There's gonna be one in 2027 and another in 2028, then it'll be every 4 years. But they're introducing an African Nations League to make up for it, so there'll still be plenty weeks African players won't be available for their clubs.Noticed that AFCON is changing to very 4 years from 2028 onwards. So there's just the two years between this one and the next one to tolerate before the change occurs. I guess it means there'll be an uptick in African based players in the Premier League. Makes me wonder if that's where the club is looking now.
Its the same with Anderson would love him at Spurs but whilst Maranakis is in charge cant see it happening.People won't care..... They just spout names (and made-up guff about war-chests) and then get angry when they don't happen.
