I know, shocking grammar.
At least it's some sort of constructive response because you haven't got a clue regarding football. Lukaku wouldn't get in the first XI fucking clueless stick to tiddlywinks.

You can't expect to survive long in here with grammar like that.

Let this be a lesson.

All that anger over an Xl definition issue, some positive ITK coming true
would be good right about now, me thinks.

And low and behold, all that was left of old Turkish Spur was a faintly glittering smear across the length of the sky. His light had burned so bright, and thus he had crashed and burned with the force of one thousand suns.

I remember well that hot July when the summer was burning and the TURKISH burnt brighter...

It's naive to say you couldn't improve the 1st xi. But if you wanted to try then for me in a 343 the most obvious is dier .
Then I would say dembele .Theres no player in EPL I could obviously replace him with so you're talkin the best in Europe and I mean best to better than dembele.And then eriksen/son again in EPL the only obvious clear upgrade I'd say would be hazard possibly Sanchez but that's how hard it is .To upgrade 1st xi from here you're talkin the very best.
All our opponents id say have clear arrears they can upgrade so it's much easier.

Seriously mate contradicting yourself. You think its naive but then go on to agree that Hazard or the best in Europe would be the only upgrade. How on earth are we supposed to get that level of player? Real want Hazard. And who is better than Dier/ Dembele and doesn't play for RM/Barca/BM?

Suso or Berradi make the most sense

According to the ITK, yes it could be Suso but we've pretty well flushed out in the player thread that he's staying at Milan.

Also, Turkish was out of line. But so is the thinking that "X wouldn't get in our starting squad so let's laugh at this and that team."

We had an astounding season last year and were lucky/smart with few injuries (I realize Kane was out for a good amount of time) but time after time we showed a lack of depth and if we don't want to embarrass ourselves in the UCL again we need signings. I think they'll come, but it's stupid to be confident because other teams are signing quality players regardless of where they'd fall in our side.

(It's also stupid to lose our minds and panic because...Mauricio Pochettino. and Levytime doesn't start for weeks)

It might seem clever to strong arm your way to favourable deals, but it's a damaging strategy in the long term. I don't suppose there are many Chairmen that clubs would prefer not to deal with more than Levy. I'd imagine that we've lost out on a number of signings because Levy has this overwhelming need to wring every ounce out of every deal. I can see Poch getting sick of it at some point if we keep missing out on the players he wants.

As we have some of the most desirable young players I am chuffed people don't want to deal with him.

What's the best guess on Northern Italy?
I Florence counts as northern Italy id like it to be Bernadeshi, he is kind of a hybrid between Alli, eriksen and Son and has a lot of potential. Just needs to work on his consistency but he has so many 'wow I can't believe what I've just seen' moments that I'd love to have him compete in one of those three positions.

Its Suso though really isn't it?

Everton gonna sign like 10 players and still won't get near top 6 .bloody funny.just shows to really challenge top 6 you need to be spending £40-50m on players not £20-30m .We really don't know how lucky we are.

I went out this evening and by the time I got back, there were only 3 or 4 pages more. I thought 'this'll be quite shit'. How awesomely wrong I was.

RIP Turkish, may your understanding of 'first 11' become stronger while you're banned.
