Greenwood a "generational talent" ()? At being utter scum, possibly.Ah I know it's very different, put aside what happened, he's a generational talent and UTD really wanted to keep him. If he shows a fraction of his ability in Spain he will be sold, most likely Saudi, but for big money.
We sold players and have loan fees probably to the tune of 125 million - guesstimate?OK. So we should have spent a further £120m+ on top of £40m Maddison and £47.5m Johnson?
After banking £100m for our greatest ever goalscorer.Levy never spends any money

But they won’t be involved and probably be gone in a few weeks. Most of you just aren’t realistic. We aren’t solving this in one window.
But we have a better goalkeeper, a better left back, a better centre back than last season. We have an attacking midfielder that we didn’t have last season. We have another promising winger who can play across the front line.
We’d all like another centre back and striker, but to get all those players in over one window is impossible.
We have two CBs in our squad who our new manager consider 1st team worthy
Ah OK, it's just because he didn't spend it on the player you wanted? All the reports saying Ange really wanted Johnson, so surely Levy getting him is a good thing no?But It does feel like when we need to spend, and he does, he spends it really poorly. It would have been better spend a bit more and get Nico Williams, and fix the HG issue in another part of the pitch.
Note: “a bit” more re: Nico Williams. I’m not sure how large that bit would be
Watch the Newcastle documentary. The richest club in the world who have to be so prudent in spending money.
I’m not celebrating. You just need a dose of reality.I’m not complaining about a single one of our incomings.
I’m questioning the sanity of you celebrating the fact that Dier, Lloris and Ndombele are inexplicably still sodding well here.
Always look on the bright side of lifeif we’re looking for positives, that’s one more than our last manager deemed worthy
And what about VDV? Where does that money fit in? Or Vicario?We sold players and have loan fees probably to the tune of 125 million - guesstimate?
I think, given our game changing stadium, we could have a couple of windows where we push the boat out. So yes. I think we could have had an extra 100 million outlay if we had desired or wanted to get what the manager needed
Great straw man. No one has ever said levy ‘never spends any money’. But spending less than half what you got for Kane isn’t something we should be high fiving ourselves about is it? He spends the bare minimum he thinks he can get away with and stay competitive, and he’s too clever by halfLevy never spends any money

Yeah this is about where I am too.I think it is fucking insane that we haven't signed another CB, especially when Ange said in a press conference to the entire world that he wanted another one. We should have signed a second CB ages ago, and invested significantly in that position. Shit like this will happen year after year under this ownership. ENIC Out.
But you know what....
I'm not going to have a full on meltdown. I am extremely excited about our potential under Ange, and we do have a solid bunch of very exciting players.
So whilst it would be tempting to go apeshit in here, fuck that.
I've had enough of the toxic feelings that I (and many others) have had towards the team/club recently. I'm just going to look forward to seeing what we could do with this team, with very little expectations.
Can you not respect each other opinion, is that so hard*He's such a sweetheart and an ambitious man that wants to win.

I am giving myself an out by saying, "putting aside what happened", sort of like Ricky Bobby saying with all due respect!Greenwood a "generational talent" ()? At being utter scum, possibly.
