    My expectations are completely different to my wants.😅 I know we aren't signing an Isak from Saudi Sportswashing Machine or even Ramus from Atalanta for 72m (good thing). I've said loads of times I'm happy enough signing the young, the undervalued and the underappreciated players. You use that market wisely (as...

    For me the goals numbers were good due to the system. It's something I'll always give Ange a lot of credit for with the obvious caveat of the inherent defensive problems said system incurred. I don't believe the goal numbers were related to the players individually and individually they were all...

    My friend I watched La Liga. Isak was next up, it was really obvious. He had all the ability he just needed to develop a little bit more physicality. Ndombele was a relative nobody who had masses of potential. They weren't in the same category of player. I watched a lot of Euro football at the...

    It was never to out advantage. There were some of us who pointed out in the summer that the attack was decidedly average individually and wanted improvements.

    Sorry Robinho wasn't a genuine established star commanding top wages? Wut? la Liga a middling league? Wut? 🤣 Whether they were statement signings or not is irrelevant, it's to say that a club can sign pretty much any standard of player if and it's a big if they are willing to pay wages as those...

    Examples of players? I think you're not understanding what I'm saying, a team can sign literally anyone if the wage offer is high enough. Robinho signed for Emirates Marketing Project after their takeover purely due to wages. He didn't even know Emirates Marketing Project as club existed before he joined. That's what I mean...

    Ndombele is not the type of player he is talking about. Ndombele was still a development purchase. A highly talented one yes, loaded with masses of potential yes, but not an example of a bonafide finished article. He was never supposed to be a player who came straight in and elevated the side to...

    Btw we weren't dwarfed with Bruno Fernandes. He wanted to sign for us, we just couldn't agree a fee with Sporting. It was 6 months later after our interest had passed that he signed for United.

    You know who is happiest at this news. Me! It means Frank isn't crazy and sees the same problems I see with Johnson. 🤣 He's not blind to the bloody obvious. I'm liking Frank already. 😬

    Any and every top level player is someone we have missed out on. I'm not buying this new narrative some people are now trying to suggest that we can't sign a player even if we offered the kind of wages that would attract such players. If you offer the best wages you can sign anyone. We are not...

    Kudus potentially solves a glaring problem we have on the right. Eze might well be a better option than Maddison or Kulu for the centre but I don't think the difference is as stark absolutely necessary. So I don't think it's even a case of being cheap, we are likely just going for the player who...

    I don't suggest haste I do suggest before the season starts otherwise we will once again be letting our season start without actually being properly ready and prepared. We want whatever new signings we do get to have time to bed in with both the new squad and the new coach.

    Transfer thread

    I don't necessarily agree with the hand wringing, mainly because a lot of the time these same fans don't actually know the game of players they are talking about, but rather they are getting caught up in the hype of a transfer in itself. However, I can understand their frustration because...

    We have no great players as it stands. Ginola had gaps to his game for sure, but realistically right now in this side at least in the attacking aspect who competes with him? I don't see anyone close tbh now that Son has declined.

    Son Heung-Min

    In a better system and ideally playing striker he can perform better than he did under Ange. However he has physically declined, his best is gone and is never coming back. He needs that burst to get past players and he's lost it and not just last season it's been a 3 year physical decline. Do...
