carmine Posted July 30, 2018 Share Posted July 30, 2018 (edited) So Wanyama has broken down again!! Already back in London. This presents a problem already because Harry Winks is still not fit enough and Oliver Skipp and Luke Amos are just too young. What was great too see was the performance of academy player, Anthony Georgiou. Keep an eye on him. And why buy Grealish when Winks is a better player anyway? I hope that deal falls through.

You would think so, but Pochy is an expert in maintaining squad harmony. No asinine disruptions to rock the boat a la Mourinho or Conte. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I suppose we have to sit back and convince ourselves that this is a planned tactic, but one i dislike nonetheless. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mourinho's a dick. Look how much money the board has invested in his squad and yet has he really improved them? Truth is the Guardiola has done an awful lot more with his budget than Mourinho. They are also good to watch, United are quite dreadful. His negativity is warranted, though he doesn't seem to understand that he is the root cause.

Bredbury Blue Posted July 31, 2018 Share Posted July 31, 2018 You've just built a brand new house. The builder is charging you twice as much as your original estimate. Your wife says she'd like a new car. You tell her how much you've just spent and suggest you keep the old car going for another year. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bredbury Blue Posted July 31, 2018 Share Posted July 31, 2018 Several people, including myself, have been making the point on here for a while now that your spending on players may be affected this and coming transfer windows due to your overspend on your stadium. Now i accept none of us have the inside track on Levys and Pochs thinking here, but I'm pretty Arsenals spending was affected by the cost of building their stadium and it most likely is a factor in your signings, like it or not.

wilai Posted July 31, 2018 Share Posted July 31, 2018 Looks like you've dodged Grealish as he seems to be staying put! Woodburn has gone to Sheff Utd on loan.

Not a chance........especially if he's seen our new kit, its awful!! Joking apart, i've completely given up on the prospect of Levy making anything approaching a marquee signing. And its probably going to be the reason we'll eventually lose our manager. Sorry to put such a downer on things but its just the way i see it. Why are we even looking at the likes of Grealish when we have better prospects at our academy, in the likes of Luke Amos and Oliver Skipp!! And theres also Harry Winks coming back from injury.

This is why most clubs will have to produce players from their academy. And FIFA, whilst being a corrupt, useless, poorly functioning train crash of an organization has got to start putting caps on fees, salaries act or the sport is going to implode.

And with Higuain loaned out to Milan that doesn't help either. Pulisic's value increased and word is Dortmund may not be interested in selling him anyway. I still think Levy will pull off something at the last minute, but what ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fully agreed with that. It has worked fairly well in USA sports, though it hasn't prevented the Golden State Warriors from becoming a dynasty. I can't see FIFA making any changes though. They are fully in bed with the big clubs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
