Okay but he is blocking a slot for a potential world class winger. I don’t like itTbh perisic is a good sub last 20 to keep momentum on left hand side. Hes not a starter though as yesterday proved.
I don't understand how Fati on the LW solves anything. Son had to completely change his playstyle in order to play LW in Ange's system, why loan out a player who would need to do the same?Assume for the sake of argument that Richy as an every game starter becomes a non-viable situation.
Who solves for that better, Fati the LW who can allow Son to move centrally and has played CF himself in the past, or Johnson the RW who hasn't?
Loan in you mean?I don't understand how Fati on the LW solves anything. Son had to completely change his playstyle in order to play LW in Ange's system, why loan out a player who would need to do the same?
That’s a smart signing for them, genuinely.
I don’t think we can compete with the money anymore. Why even care at this point. Saudi and Qatari money is backing 5 of the top 6, Woolwich are loaded somehow, even the likes of Liverpool and Villa can outspend us and dwarf us seemingly.
We have no hope left in the market and no hope left of winning trophies long term.
It’s just hopeless.I can give you a hug if you want mate, but in these trying times...that's gonna cost you £60
100 %Facts don't lie.... But you do; habitually.
He even tried to put a positive spin on the much hated recent ticket price hike!
I'm not fighting anything, I already stated that.
What a strange take on the discussion.
I have no problem admitting that it's not a great move by them.
I'm just trying to understand why they'd undermine the good PR they got for not increasing ST (when 17 PL clubs did) by doing this bollocks when they get little or no benefit (money) from it.
It's madness.
I'm afraid it feels like a total shambles. A ton of random names but barely any centre backs. Tanganga, Ndombele deals falling through. Dier, Lloris, Reggie, Sanchez still here. No movement on Hojbjerg who the manager clearly doesnt fancy. I'd love to think this is all some devious masterplan but as you say we've been here before time and time again. Its throw some mud and hope some of it sticks time. We can only hope its more Van Der Vaart than Sissoko or Rasiak but its no way to run a club properly.This is all starting to feel incredibly familiar.

No not really, he's not a dribbler or a crosser, he loves getting into the box and shooting.Loan in you mean?
Fati is a more natural Angeball LW than Son is, wouldn't you say?
Like UHT milk... Pure shiteSums up our transfer dealings when there is an argument about the origins of father Ted on the transfer thread...!
By the way It's a British produced tv show written by Irish writers with Irish actors based on a made up Island of the coast of Ireland. Chances are it would never have been made at all without channel 4 , because the Irish tv company rte would not have made it cause rte is utter shite....
That's true but he's been a good captain to date. Just makes me a bit sad.

It's like bidding on a house you really want where other prospective buyers are willing to pay up to 100% over the market price. The whole market is a complete piss take these days, artificially inflated by owners with bottomless pockets who want to play real life football manager on cheat mode.It’s just hopeless.
We’ve sold Harry Kane and bought in fuck all in attacking reinforcements.
If that’s the case why are we the only ones in for him…Why you even arguing about Fati? The kid is one of the biggest talents in the world. I guess there is no club who wouldnt take him (only stupid Barcelona).
No, he was one of the biggest talents in the world. I doubt he can even start consistently now, and he doesn't fit the system unless he plays striker, which he may or may not be able to do.Why you even arguing about Fati?
