Fuck Stambouli mate. Football must be slow in France - like everything else.
There may well be loads out there, but nobody I've ever heard of. It amazes me that some on here have so much knowledge of players, especially outwith the PL and know how much they should cost, how they'll settle and how good they'll be. I've no idea.
Moses might be shite, he may have potential. I don't know as I didn't watch many full Stoke games last season. Even if I had, I probably wouldn't have specifically watched him and even if I'd find that, I'm no football scout. A pretty true statement for every poster on here who knows he's a shite signing. I don't get it.
You're right in that we have to unearth new talent, but we can't possibly compete with the top four for players. We have to take the crumbs off their table and wether we like it or not, a player who doesn't sign for one of them and comes to us, he's a reject.
There's very few teams out there don't end up with some serious duds, we just get more than our fair share.
I'm not one to make cocksure comments on who will and who won't be succesful in the PL. You're right, there's plenty on here doing that for me.
I'm pretty sure most of us thought Lamela and Soldado were top-drawer signings of the kind I'm requesting, and look how that turned out.
I'm just saying that players from the same shelf as Lamela and Soldado (once were on, obv.) will grant us success more often than players from the same shelf as Moses, Stambouli etc.
Yet, our most recent successes have been youth team Kane, League One Southampton Bale, Zagreb Modric and Real reject VDV.I'm not one to make cocksure comments on who will and who won't be succesful in the PL. You're right, there's plenty on here doing that for me.

Lamela will come good! I would have no problem with Soldado staying if we shift Ade and get Austin.Yet, our most recent successes have been youth team Kane, League One Southampton Bale, Zagreb Modric and Real reject VDV.
FWIW, I was utterly convinced that Soldado and Lamela would be world beaters. A bit of me still believes.

Soldado will get 19 goals next season. Proven goalscorer who is willing to sit on the bench. All you've got to do is forget last season. Which is easy.

I keep opening this thread to see if we have signed the mythical DM we all seem to want - I guess they're quite expensive.And the season before.
:soldadowtf:
Oh bore off with that will you.
First he claims that everybody sees Alli, Onomah etc. as starters. Then he's explained that that's not the case + asked to quote those saying that.
Then there's quiet.
Then he comes back later with an even more extreme (and made up) assumption, that people expect those youngsters to "carry the team".
It's his war hungry imagination and inability to read and understand a simple message that's causing people to hate his guts, not that he's not a rose tinted happy clapper.
Yeah, RE: Bale and Kane that was part of my point. It has to be a mixture of nursing the talents (I absolutely love Bentaleb for one) and buying quality.
VdV wasn't that much of a reject, and no matter what he was a huge signing. IIRC Bayern were in for him as well.

I don't get the negativity/impatience of some of the posters here. Some promising signings so far, and plenty of surplus offloaded. We did lots of early business a couple of years ago, and that really worked out for us, didn't it?
Van de Vaart was last minute but one of the best deals we've done in many a year.
