That's why I put fucking QUOTE marks on it.
Fuck is wrong with every one on the internet these day not understanding context
Fair enough. I was spitballing if this winter gave us a unique opportunity to get ahead of the summer when there will be more competitors but either way, it's that time again.
So this'll be the 437th time that an opportunity presents itself to ENIC owned THFC
Will it be the 437th time that opportunity is passed up?
Indeed mate. The stadium is built now as well. This is the opportunity that was at the end of Levy's long game.
You have to wonder though, how long can the hardcore defenders, if there isn't a massive shift in philosophy this summer, carry on defending the regime.
Well, one of them's dead for a start.......
As opposed to what, holding a gun to his head? For the millionth time, players have agency, they do get a say in where they are going, it was true for Dragusin and it's true for Nusa. Players are not just an inanimate commodity to be picked up and purchased, their opinions and feelings about a transfer are not just relevant, they are absolutely crucial to the final outcome.
Dragusin considered the options and decided Spurs was better for him, likely to get some playing time. Nusa considered the options and decided Brentford was better for him, being younger and unlikely to get much playing time at Spurs. There is nothing sinister, nothing dawdling, nothing unduly penny-pinching, nothing 'missed opportunity' about it, and anyone claiming otherwise is clearly just making stuff up to push an agenda (which is pretty sad for supposed 'fans' given that we're the only club which has done any proper business so far this window).
Why are Real Madrid going to pay ridiculous money for Romero when they are going to sign Mbappe, on even more ridiculous wages. They have top centre backs, Militao just signed a new contract.
No other Spanish club has any money.
Difference was Liverpool didn’t spend their own money. They were lucky that Barca turned up and paid 140m for Coutinho. They just spent that money on Alison and VDV. No one is spending that sort of money now.
It's a strange one.
Personally, I was very much Levy/ENIC out last summer but the way Ange has used this squad suggests that a plan is coming together. The summer business was great as well and we have that modern football department in place.
But, you don't pick and choose when opportunity knocks and as they say, it's not a lengthy visitor. I think everyone can see that this summer is a massive opportunity and also that this squad is in a perfect spot to add 1-2 genuinely elite players that could be our Van Dijk and Allison-type signings. A LWF or CF and another CM.
Maybe they can get them within the structure that they like to follow but if they stick to the structure and end up without transformative players, where else do the fans turn to with their questions?
Passively?!? Who are you are really? Johan Lange, Dan Levy, Fab Paratici or Ange? Do tell?
Jacob Ramsey is quality, would take him over all the other midfield names mentioned so far. No chance Villa sell though.

If that's true then it looks much more like Brentford offered what we wouldn't and that's why we walked.The stuff about the player choosing Brentford always felt like spin to me.
But if that is what Brentford offered, I fully agree with us not matching it. Big clubs don't/can't make offers like that. Stepping stone clubs make offers like that.
He's only made 10 appearances this season. He doesn't seem an Emery favourite.
Anyone using Nusa and the likelihood of him going to Brentford as opposed to us as a negatve, needs time in an Ice bath.
Fcuking 18 years of age. If he were so damn good, jusy where do OI start....???
Bale, Alli and Kane. That is the calibre of player that can make it at a big club and none were near our first team at that age.
Move on.

Yeah because Johnson and Solomon have been absolutely killing it.
Maybe because he's better than Johnson?
Nusa is not yet starting for Brugge though so he's much further behind in his development. Although we should look to get a first XI winger in summer if possible.
