Has there been any change to itk (back in mid May) that we would have £150k to spend on new players plus some money from player sales. I'm confused.
Yeah, just a bit…Has there been any change to itk (back in mid May) that we would have £150k to spend on new players plus some money from player sales. I'm confused.
Yeah, not just any players for the sake of it. That's how we used to do business, every year, we'd virtually have a new team and we were constantly in transition, we were crying out for stability. We have that. We buy players that fit our style and ethic. We don't need wholesale changes, we need a couple of additions. But even so, our current team is still going to challenge for top 3 or 4.So what you're saying is that you disagree with Pochettino, in that getting new signings integrated into the first team during pre-season brings zero benefit.
You are well within your rights to do so, I get shot down for disagreeing with him. But just pointing out that Pochettino has been quoted saying it's important to get players in for pre-season.
Didn't that pretty much get us top 4 last year? And the year before that? Yes, Dembele is ageing but in acknowledging that, Winks is also maturing so the wet behind the ears thing feels a little out of place. So we have the midfield that got the CM's that got us top 4 the past few years, with less injuries (hopefully) now that Winks is back and now adding a talent in Grealish (who seems all but done according to ITK).
If you're asking for a strong looking long term midfielder... is that as well as Winks and Grealish?
