Where is it going to get lost. Down the back of the sofa? ENIC don't leverage or take money out of the club. But don't let the truth get in the way of your purple and gold agenda.
These two are leaving today, as it wasn't a priority with the Turkish window being open longer, a CB target not being available (Tapsoba used interest to sign a new deal...lol) and Ange having faith in the youth and existing defenders if needed.
Give it a rest!!
I mean we were trying to buy cbs. We’ve been told well try to get Kelly/tosin in jan. Or on frees in summer, I’m sure we have other cb targets.
It’s obviously a big risk with Sanchez. But with 30m euros to gain between his wages, transfer fee and ndombele a wages saved its huge financial upside.
Hopefully dier and Lloris are paid off lower than their contracts now and then our wage bill must be looking hugely improved.
It’s very exciting times, most of the old guard gone, a young exciting team that can be a huge project for 2-3 seasons.
I must admit, is crazy the turn around in the club since the end of last season. I was genuinely worried for the club but now the future looks exceptionally bright.
After jan if we get in a HG Cb like Kelly, shift on hojberg hopefully (maybe sign Gallagher) then we are in a very impressive situation.
It leaves us able to do what arsenal have done and go big on 2-3 key targets next summer.
apologies I know not all ITK and I will delete accordingly just very excited for the club now.

Might go into more detail when in a better mood but I thought this was a season to take these kind of risks, but whether it's worth the risk ultimately depends on, how much luck we have from now until January and more importantly. What we do to justify the risk either in Jan or the summer.
I don't think this window can be looked at in isolation, I appreciate the mistakes of previous windows do tint it a certain way but the deals we did aside from Kane have to be looked at as a new story altogether rather than a new chapter. We have to look at what deals we do going forward. The good thing about Jan is, if we're going well, then you hope we actually add the additions to act on it. If we're not going well then I expect some significant signings that really boost the squad next summer. Personally I don't think Lloyd Kelly is that for two reasons. One is his current level, the other is he won't have much opportunity to develop with VDV infront of him. Having said that, I think if we go for Kelly, it should be for free with Tapsoba and then Phillips.

Hope so but wouldn't put it past Levy to fail again.

I have faith in Ange as he is doing a very good job.

Transfermarkt has him down as missing three games last season through suspension. VDV didn’t miss any last season in bundesliga.

Don't you think that is less likely under Postecoglu than it was under Conte?

Especially after seeing what the goons did to a CB pairing of Maguire and Evans.

Cristian Romero - Suspensions & absences
These are the missed matches of Cristian Romero of Tottenham Hotspur. This statistic shows when, how long and why a player missed matches during his career.
His time in Italy is a concern, several every season.
Throw in his injury record too: https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/cristian-romero/verletzungen/spieler/355915

at the minute we would miss his goals as well as being a defenderCristian Romero - Suspensions & absences

Not sure but to be fair to Romero the only red I can remember him conceding in the league was City last year when he took a second yellow to stop a dangerous attack in injury time.
His disciplinary record is surprisingly better than I'd expected from such a "edge" defender.

Right, but all it would have taken is 30M for Schurrs (or whoever else Ange wanted for that area) and we’d be in phase 2 already. There was just no need to take this massive risk

Having mulled on this I think I may have been hasty.
What's turned my head is Ange not wanting people around who don't want to be here.
Now don't get me wrong not signing a centre back was criminal but actually I'd rather see these kids get a chance to make a mistake than give the same people who have been making mistakes for years another chance to let us down.
Onwards and upwards.

IIRC he gets all his bad injuries playing for Argentina. So just ban him from playing for Argentina

Anyway I always felt Dav was good decent enough back up until January at least but TPTB decided to make this move now. Let's hope Phillips is the gem we hope for
