OkI just received a doh rating from you but now it's disappeared

I'm off for some pre-match beers at Mega Bar, but I'll let you all know how he plays and more importantly, whether he applauds the fans after the game
And that's half of our problem imo. Stagnation and the players knowing that, irrespective of how they play, they are genuinely undroppable because there literally is no-one to replace them. When we had the 2 windows of zero purchases, I could partly understand the club's view of not wanting to unbalance an established squad, but the result has been complacency, poor form and a club trying to play catch up. It's been said many times before, but a professional football team with a single senior striker on their books is fecking crazy. And we're suffering for it now.Very true. It would just be nice to sign an established attacking player that would really have other teams thinking 'shit, he can hurt us'. That's why I thought Dybala was so exciting and why I've liked the idea of Zaha in the past and the feeling is the same with Ziyech.
Thinking about it other than Lucas who can be very hot and cold anyway, other teams have been facing the same set of attacking players when playing us for what, 4 or so years now. Go back to the 2016-17 season and look at the lineups for the majority of matches and the front 4 are more or less the same as what we still put out now. That's really not right.
So you don't reckon Mourinho had anything to do with Chelsea nicking Willian presumably.
Yes, he may be very expensive. But could be worth every penny. As we are talking about a midfield for the next three or four years that would include NDombele, Lo Celso and Bruno. Three of the brightest midfield talents in Europe. This is the sort of talent that gets you into the CL. Wins you trophies. It's completely worth the investment.
Which means... there's little chance Levy will sanction it, sadly.
But one can dream, right?
Yeah, whereas the runaway leaders Liverpool have... nevermind, as you were.Thinking about it other than Lucas who can be very hot and cold anyway, other teams have been facing the same set of attacking players when playing us for what, 4 or so years now.

this all feels familar , carryong on from the summer window
Bruno wont just be an Eriksen replacement, he will also challenge Dele for his position too (which I think is massively needed!)
Yep, RW much more of an issueEh? Lo Celso is a number 10. Surely he will challenge Alli for his spot?
GLC knowing Spurs and Levy
