Looking at where they were playing last season, they have hardly grown in value. Even that bald cunt should understand that.

I think Moaninho wants a CB who can play out from the back. Someone who can put it on Fellaini's head from 80 yards away. Hot jism all over the shop.
We didn't have Toby for 33 of our 38 PL games last season and progressed further in the CL.
Man up, grow a pair and face the facts. He accepted a contract extension, and then like some half starved Oliver Twist, asked for more.
He no doubt now understands what it's like to be fucked by Levy, and i for one am losing zero sleep about it, nor apparently is Poch.
And no one coming in.......that's what everyone has been losing their shit over for the last 949 pages
(also Foyth doesn't count as U21 for the CL)
Hi all, I've been reading posts on this forum for most of the summer and thought it time I join in.
Regarding the transfer window, I have been waiting patiently hoping we do something just to kick us on.
Don't get me wrong, I have supported us many many hard years and am beyond happy with what have achieved over the past few seasons, in fact going back before Poch to Harry and Jol, I saw us really start to make progress.
I know we have our way of doing things and the stadium etc is part of the longer term plan but being in the Champions League for 3 seasons now I believe we could use a couple (not greedy) of quality players to help us push on. I love our 1st eleven but we need someone to come and help ease the burden. I think Harry and Son really struggled toward the end of last season. Saying that I think we are fine up top (for now at least) We need replacements for Dembele and Alderweireld.
If Toby leaves i think spend that money on De Ligt, could be a real prospect plus he's played with Sanchez.
For Mid I'd like to see Kovacic. With a Dembele sale we surely must have enough to at least try for £50-60 mill?
I know these don't help with the home grown quota but it's 2 in and 2 out, so no different.
Plus De ligt turns 19 on the 12th of Aug so if we get him now we will just JUST get him to play 3 years before he turns 22 to make him home grown for the future.
Anyway whatever happens COYS!

It’s funny isn’t it.......deny being smug and satisfied after a defeat, yet lose a pre season friendly with a load of 17yr olds and it’s all “SEE YOU RETARDS WE NEED NEW PLAYERS!!!l
Imagine if we lose to Newcastle then.......
Like I said, deep down they’ll be on cloud nine
One "disagree" with this post?
Is that Toby's half brother, or some other relative?
FFS
It's still two spots homegrown or not.
It’s almost as if Levy and Poch need to read this thread...I mean, if only they knew all the rules
There was a PL team a few seasons ago who had to leave a player they'd only just signed as being unregistered because they'd fucked up the numbers, iirc Hull.
Ha! thanks
Will do! thought for some reason as i pushed enter it would start a new line. Thanks for the welcome.
They didn’t give a fuck about that game, because as you point out, it didn’t fit the agenda.
Pre season meaningless friendly against Milan’s kids I suppose......
But lose to Girona and relegation awaits and it’s PROOF the squad is shit
50 pages left. Oh dear
Thanks. It's not going to last too long cretinous goat is on a one man mission to get me banned by going back over a 3 year history disliking every post I've ever made. The sad stalking oddball
We either sign Grealish, or name another academy player, or use a 24 man squad.
I’m quite sure the club is comfortable with either option.
Anyone who thinks this is flying above the clubs head and we are going to get caught with our pants down must think Pochettino is an incompetent and careless manager who doesn’t know the rules.
Weird no one is saying that though
The lad is a bit bipolar you'll learn to bear him in time and accept him for who he is.
I think it should be pretty apparent that;
1. Expected bids for Rose, Alderweireld and Dembele haven't materialised
2. We have struggled to attract any bids for N'Koudou, Janssen, Sissoko, maybe some other fringe foreign quota players
3. 1+2 has meant our transfer targets are severely limited as we can only really sign home grown players without potentially wasting pretty big wages
