Yep. “I’m so ashamed we can’t even get an average striker in on a six month loan, waah waah!”.

Son is well above average as a striker. Moura probably average, Dele the same. New guy with the name I can’t spell, I believe is an average striker. But we need a fourth one?

Id have been thrilled to see Cavani come in for us, but very much less so, Ighalo.
Jose obviously thought so.
 
Where : The fighting cock
When: Sat 01 feb
Who: Bangkok Spud on Bale

The funny thing is JT this will all be on Amazon and whilst apart from the same six people (or is it just your multis?) who run around behind each other giving likes and disagrees like dogs licking arseholes ... nobody really cares what you think you know.

When it's all on Amazon and you look a right cunt ... I simply won't notice as I and 90% of the forum worked that out long ago.

FYI - we had a deal in place for Bowen but dropped out when we signed Bergwijn, we had a 22m offer accepted for Piatek but Mourinho vetoed it as he only wanted a loan, but hey it's all bollocks right? ... that is until you see it all on Amazon, sad little JT proof positive that you're a clueless cunt just months away ... will you come grovelling back or just keep playing the fool? think we all know the answer to that one, stupidity knows no limits ... lol

Jose went on record saying neither is a true striker. Levy had 3 weeks to deliver and he failed miserably

Your ITK will be on Amazon?

Well - consider me subscribed
 
The window finished in true Enic fashion.

A future value for money signing we didnt really need, bullshit rumours about trying for a superstar and leaving a manager desperately short in a crucial area.

The pattern has been there for years and numerous managers have got the blame for it, yesterday I saw people blaming poch but if course there has always been a constant.

I'm not mad, I expected it just like I expect people to reply to me with odd defenses of them but it does feel like we all need to either accept that were run by an investment company who put profits before anything or actually start putting pressure on them.

I'm baffled though. Why bring in the most lauded demanding manager in the world to then not back him? And yes we did some good stuff but to have no striker for a manager who clearly needs a target man / battering ram for his system is insane. I mean levy wouldn't get rid of a his accountants and tell the board to just get on with it would he?

Bankrupt made the excellent point on twitter yesterday that we clearly want players who we can add value too. Ones we cant take a punt on, why not do that with a striker then? We have spent the month seemingly chasing average over priced strikers and then refused to pay for them, which I understand but why chase them in the first place?

I think we got lucky with Poch. Whether you want to give poch the credit it for it or not we hit gold. It all came together. The centre backs gelled brilliantly. The full backs were turned from brainless athletes into machines, dembele was better than anyone thought and were still suffering from his absence now, dele took the premier league amazingly and of course kane went from millwall reject to megastar. I'm not saying we didnt earn it but to have all those things go right at once was brilliant and its helped us pay for this amazing stadium and actually build a brand. But we have to keep it up.

Were now probably going to lose 100 million in TV money next year so you think were going to invest properly ? Are we fuck.

I like levy and am thankful for this beautiful stadium but it isnt one way. We pay the most ridiculous ticket prices in europe. Prices that have ensured I can barely afford to go and I'm sure that's the same for thousands. Being that we pay through the nose, being that we have the best football stadium in the world, best training ground, most successful manager why the fuck dont we have one fit striker over the age of 18? Why do we now only have one senior specialist right back, why do we have these debates every transfer window? It's crazy that he runs every other part of the business with such precision and efficiency and yet team building the thing that the whole business relies on is seemingly treated like an afterthought. The cheeky so and so actually moaned a few weeks ago about the obsession with spending money on transfers whilst he charges his customers some of the highest prices in the world.

The balance has always been off but now so more than ever. You fired the manager that finally got you regularly to the top table , did it whilst filming a shitty documentary so his humiliation will probably be filmed and brought in this megastar manager which lets be honest has left a sour taste in many people's mouths and now you still dont support the new manager and leave him trying to explain your baffling transfer policy.

Whether you anti poch or pro poch, whether you love Mourinho or hate him and especially whether you think levy is the football god or a parasite we should all agree that our squad building and investment choices have to be improved.

Best post a read in a long while. Bloke is a massive cunt - fucked us proper now
 
Shame we got no striker, even if it was young decent prospect but then again we don't scout do we. I've been banging the drum for Parrot to play all season, i hope he gets a run out now.

I think this is what baffles me the most.

From everything jose has done and said he thinks parrott is not ready so surely we shouldn't be relying on him now.

The kid hasn't had a sniff so far.

Only one senior specialist left back as well and he's injured. He has been force to turn Tanganga and Sess into left backs. He previously said Sess was not a left back. This must really be messing with Sess' head.

I agree. I don't care about age, if he bagged a few goals he could fly and we'd have another 80milll striker on our hands.
 
Your ITK will be on Amazon?

Well - consider me subscribed
I can do better than that ... as I said to JT put your money where your mouth is, how about 1,000 pounds to charity ... if Amazon Prime backs up the ITK then you pay 1,000 pounds if not I will .... we can get a Mod to hold the cash .... come on son man up, put your money where your mouth is .....

Go lie down for a bit

Did you forget the Belgium International left back ... I'm guessing he didn't fit your argument all that well?
