Yes because the chairman is the one that selects the players to buy at our club? And despite that,
- Lloris (one of the best keepers in the world for 12m)
- Alderweireld (our POTY last season for 11m in a market where John Stones is 47.5m)
- Vertonghen (12m signing for a man who has been a mainstay in our defence last few years)
- Dier (4m?! That should be charged in court of law)
- Alli (5m for one of the biggest rising stars nowadays, trusting the scouts)
- Eriksen (11m for the hottest young player in the world at the time)
- Van der Vaart (Great player who really propelled us in the CL)
- Modric (need I say anymore?)
- Bale (see above)
So many more besides that, not bad for a chairman who is the worst at signing players, we almost never sell players on a negative.
Bang on, and let's face it when Dembele was out we were a totally different side, same with Alli by the end of the season.
You could double that with a load of shit .
That is beside the point IMO, the accusation was that Levy was unable to buy any good players. At least that is how I understood it I am sure Jay I will be corrected if that wasn't the intention.
Ante Coric told some local paper he wants to stay at Zagreb this season. Bummer.
Isco isn't going to happen. Hope he does a van der Vaart but it isn't the same situation. Rafa was thrown into our lap. However. I think Isco would be a massive signing. Like how Ozil is/was for the scum.
Berahino is showing as 14/1 to join Spurs....
Given what we did to get him last year ( maybe not enough ? ) how odd that he's been binned off as an option. If he was scouted properly. Surely he's still worth it as an option.
Still when we sign James Rodridges and Isco it won't matter much.

So everyone pretty much agreed that the two positions that we definitely needed to strengthen were cover for Dier/Dembele and Kane..........we then signed exactly that early in the window for very reasonable fees
But now the narrative is that we have left our transfers to the end of the window
The same people that bemoan late transfer activity also complain about no late transfer activity.....

I know Isco would be amazing and of course I wouldn't say no to him but is he really what we need right now? IMO we need a player with a bit of pace in one of the positions behind the striker and he is in a similar(ish) mould to Alli, Lamela and Eriksen. Those three have many different attributes but are really mostly built around being ball players. If we could add a more direct player that is of the level of Isco etc it would be perfect as it would give us more variation in attack. Sadly not too many are around it seems and Nkoudou won't be starting and simply isn't on that level.
So because he earned more credo than me on this forum, it's alright for him to constantly insult people? Yeah, right...The one who needs to chill out is the guy himself. Do you think his rants are normal? Don't you think calling someone a dirty fooking gooner pig after a disagree rating is a bit over the top? If he is such a good person, I've yet to see it, all I've seen from the guy thus far are rants and insults.cretinousgoat is good people.
And he's earned alot more credo on this board than you have.
Chill out....

We should definitely sign Isco if we can - you can never really have too many top quality playmakers, we rely a lot on Eriksen at the moment.
That idea looks nice on paper, but sometimes the youngsters just aren't ready to step up, leaving gaps in the squad. We had one striker in Kane last season, yet I didn't see someone from the youth like Harrison stepping up, leaving us with real problems.
Yeah like I said I wouldn't say no but if there is another player of the similar ilk that we can find that suits us better I would rather that. I just worry it would disrupt our team harmony.
I think the way you push your team on is to sign people that directly compete for other players positions - we saw that last year with Walker and Trippier.
