?My grandfather is slow as fuck since he's dead. I'd bloody hope he stays slow as well.
I think we’ll get Sessegnon and Lo Celso and Toby and Eriksen will stay. That’ll be it then.
But I think Poch wants to build a side that challenges for the league, not just challenging for a CL place.It's not about challenging for the league, it's just about improving and continuously getting better without making too many changes.
For me a summer that sees us sign Ndombele, Sessegnon, Lo Celso, Clarke and hopefully someone like Hysaj whilst retaining Toby and Christian would make us stronger than we were last season and that,mrealistically is all Wembley can ask with the size of the clubs around us.
If we challenge great but I'm more concerned with strengthening the team so it continues to not slip away. Top 4 is still the most important thing with the stadium and circumstances and when looking at the market I don't see many better than those guys that we can realistically get.
I don't see them selling him given they just sold rodri to city. He'll be their first choice DM, surelyAgree
Since then Llorente hasn't been renewed and Trips has gone.

Which is understandable after last season. Sessegnon replaces Rose, Ndombele replaces Dembele, Clark is potential and wont be with us this season. Lo Celso would be an extra player added who may strengthen us, no one knows I mark him down as potential.
I'm guessing he has plenty of time on his handsI'm always sceptical but that is a lot of info to make up
I agree but Poch said the chapter is closed and a new chapter is starting, which needs a plan. OK the transfer window is not over but I'm not seeing us do things differently, like Poch indicated that he wanted to see.I'm sure Poch wants to build a team that can challenge for titles etc but we have to be practical with it as well. Huge debts, huge challenges trying to overtake teams like Man City & Liverpool who have far bigger standings in football at the moment, bigger fan bases, bigger finances available etc.
There's no way of fluffing it up to appease people, financially we are still only the 6th biggest team in the country. Growth is the most important thing and with how Man City and Liverpool performed last season can anyone hand on heart see us challenging them, even with the players we might be able to sign should we make serious moves in the market? I don't even if there is always an outside chance.

I'm talking about the seasons before Poch. We were conceding goals like relegation candidates
We are about to smash our transfer record again!We've just obliterated our transfer record mate, that's definitely a shift in the kind of direction Poch wants from us. We've committed to paying up to £63m for Ndombele when our next record was £40m and £30m. That's definitely the start to the next phase he was after.
Yes, but that doesn’t mean Jan was a poor defenderTo what ends....? The team was a mess under AVB & TS.
Strange signing as they are predominantly defensive and his strong point is not defending.My take on Trips has always been he's a mediocre defender and an above average crosser. Need someone who can defend first and cross second IMO

That's one player for the first team though, Clark is potential and won't be joining for us for now.I guess it was another team that smashed their transfer record in the first two weeks.
Do NDombele and Clark not count ?
