Sounds like we always have the option to extend he's contract by a year?

This is all true and good, and a piece you're missing is that bar I believe Clarke, Hugo Lloris is the only player in the squad with a contract ending before 2024, as well as being the only over-30 player remaining in the squad.
So it's very much a year of retrenchment and taking a breath and seeing what we have.
While totally surrendering all three cups for reasons more ideological than financial (a loan striker would have cost nothing), knowing we have no chance in the league, and charging the highest ticket prices in the world. Biding our time and keeping our powder dry so we can later strike in the market to make a run at fourth place, allowing even higher priced tickets to be sold for Champions League group stage and Round of 16 games against glamorous opposition.
There are a lot of similarities between a plan to win things and a plan to cynically maximize profit while having no competitive ambition whatsoever. Both require a sensible and clear-headed player recruitment strategy to be sustainable.
He has earned THFC at least £5 mill in loan fees.
To many on TFC that is nothing.
Me too. Thought it was a photoshop.Thoroughly gobsmacked by that!
That’s if serge leaves London
How to turn a positive into a negative .....
Arguably the strongest under 25 lineup we've ever had and you moan about it .... just wow
Definitely loan out Clarke as well , still needs to do more for me when he plays.
Don't think we will loan a lot because of the cup they played in tonight and the UCL also
7-7.5 out of 10
Kept Kane, extended Sonny, didn’t buy Adama, have what looks like a solid successor to Lloris in place, shifted some older deadwood, bought in some exciting young pieces, and lowered the age of the squad.
Nice start for Paratici.

Lol not even close.
It is definitely a core around which a winner could be built though, on that we agree. If only that were the business model.
Yeah in 23/24
Thuram or Leao for example, who can both play as AM's and strikers (and thus could have covered multiple positions and fulfilled that notorious "back up striker" remit)
Apparently we were pursuing Traore because Nuno and Paratici liked him.
I mean, by all means cunt Levy off for hiring Paratici, but lets not absolve Paratici of the cunting he's due. Where's the fun in that?
I don't think we've done too badly :
Kane still at the club (which is a miracle). Son tied down to a long contract
Aurier gone (good riddance). Sissoko and Lamela needed to go too.
New back up keeper , couple of potentially good defenders , couple of promising young players.
I do think Traore was close but Wolves couldn't get anyone in to replace.
I'd prefer a creative midfielder but we are not Chelsea etc and can't buy whoever we want. Nervous about West Ham as Moyes is doing a job there. Overall I think we did better than most this window.
It's going to be a really competitive league this year and we've made a great start so cheer up.

Honestly? I look at that line up and can't think of a time we even came close .... will have a trawl through previous years but in my admittedly long memory all I can remember is one or two top draw youngsters and a bunch of mediocre sidekicks ....
Not that long ago the academy couldn't have even handled the volume of top players it does now, that's what 80m spent on training facilities gets you, you may be right and there was another golden era - if so can you name the 17 comparable under 25's from the year you are thinking about, or just the year and I'll take a look.
He will do very well up there.
C'mon Blakey... You know how it goes.... "Something something Levy stooge"... [Insert tears and paranoia]
if we do have 50m to spend on adama we really should be picking up a quality playmaker for that money instead. we have 2 in gio and ndombele but neither have his the standards we thought we would get for the money we paid.
