I think he is a far superior player to Dele.

Make stuff up? Show proof my man. You are mistaking yourself for BC. I've never done that to you or anyone else...not BC. And when he calls me on it I come clean quickly.I said that in the summer. I gave our transfer business 6/10 when the window closed. For a clever guy, I don't understand your need to make stuff up. It's why I don't always bother engaging with you.
Why would we need to buy anyone in the next window? This one's been so fabulous that we are all set up for the next 3 years.

Epic, just epic :dembelelol: The megalomaniac strikes again. What views are those? That Poch isn’t a good manager, for example? I never really caught up with that, that was always all you.. Or Poch is the best manager we’ve had in 30 odd years but he’s won nothing and has faults? Care to tell...
I know there is still time, but I am disappointed we have not managed to shift more of our squad players.
Relieved we finally got Lo Celso, but overall, it's been a real mixed bag for me. We've let problems pile up for years, and it was always going to be a big ask to rectify them all in one window.
Bothered that Alderweireld, Vertonghen and Eriksen are running down their contracts.

Point is they're not satisfied. Only one who's been kinda consistent is Walker. They didn't get what they hoped with Mendy and Danilo. Yeah see here’s the thing. I said the PL full backs are average and nothing special in any way shape or form. You disagreed yet keep telling me how crap...
First off, nothing you quote says you wanted 2-3 more in the summer. And though it could have happened I cannot remember you saying anything in private. Admittedly I do know your more candid views on some players so I can admit it wouldn't be surprising if you did feel that way. But that's not what I'm referencing and you know it. When you were banging your daily #PochOut drum that you now say you wanted out were miraculously held back by poch's stupid training methods, ridiculous tactics, etc etc = revision. But now it's the players because Mou...
We need to bring in Ander Capa to replace Aurier at RB.
Great RB playing for Athletic Bilbao. Just scored against Sevilla as well.

Thing is Leicester have made a killing buying the players we have passed on
disagree with this. Positionally he’s better than Sissoko and Winks and his passing is more akin to Winks than Dier.
Point is, why not give him a game (or 5) to prove whether he is or isn’t good enough
We need another striker in this window. It’s absolute madness to only have one striker. Sure Son can play there very well but by doing that then we miss him in his natural position. There can’t be another team in the country who only has one striker. We really should have replaced Llorente.
I had to beg you to watch the CL Final because you said Poch had fucked up his team selection.
You said he was too loyal to underperforming players. You said he didn't know what made his teams tick. You said he had a poor eye for a player. You said he was a lousy tactician, and was not capable of learning from his mistakes. You said his philosophy was passion.
I say you are mixed up.
Yes, scouting should be better, but in the case of Tielemans and others it's been Poch turning them down tho....
Yes. I said we were doomed to lose if Harry was chosen because there is nothing in Harry's locker, specifically when coming back from injury and considering the way we were set up to play, that would allow him to better VVD. And my opinion was vindicated.
He was and his loyalty was the death of him. And this might blow your mind Five but I totally respect him for it.
And the folks that always decried Dembele's work didn't either. Do you know any of those people? I was surprised that he seemed to undervalue the dominating CM2 and the unparalleled athleticism of our FBs (specifically Walker) as a contribution to our success and suck off the attackers who all have their weaknesses on display without those parts.
I did but have now tempered that with the understanding that he was choosing amongst shit second choices and attempting to pick the least smelly turd. But without being privy to the true info from behind the scenes it might me more wise not to conclude anything here.
Don't think I ever stated it that way but perhaps I did. What I did say was he was reliant on plan A and if that didn't work then do Plan A harder and with more passion.
Perhaps he didn't see them as mistakes and they were just poor execution of plan A. IDK. But our games against Liverpool support and stubbornness or inability to take on the lesson on offer.
Sometime it felt like this in lieu of an actual tactical plan. it did get us far.
I say you are projecting.
He is a Beast, very strong and quick and reasonable on the ball. He would be ideal for us but cant see us paying the cash for him unfortunately
Surely we have to be in for Gabriel Barbosa? 20m for a 23 year old with bags of potential and Kane out for 2 months. Especially with Eriksen now going the other way?
Hes just won a libertadores and is ripe for Europe.

I thought he'd make a decent back up right after he scored against us. He is a decent player.
However, Southampton are highly dependent on him. There's no way they're going to sell him in January.
