He is semi retired and the more people pester him less he will entertain giving out info!Still nothing from @JJetset ?
Thats not ambition thats stupidity. Slimani is 28 and had his best season last year in the Superleague with 27 goals, the season before he scored 12. Top scorer was Jonas a 32 YO Brazilian. We signed the top scorer in the Eredevisie for 17M and he did it at 22 and thats still a risk. Im sure the Portuguese league is even more miss with strikers moving abroad than then Dutch league.
They pay more money in wages because they turn over 50% more than us because, like it or not, they are bigger clubs than us.
A player faced with earning £60,000 a week or £90,000 a week (or more) will obviously go for the higher wage. We gave Willian a shot last year and Batshuyai a go this year but we aren't big enough to compete with Chelsea.
Levy didn't come up with some bizarre conspiracy plan to ensure we didn't sign them, they just chose the better job.
As far as selling Chadli and Mason are concerned we bought in Wanyama, Janssen, and GKN as bench options whilst promoting Onomah over Mason, not to mention Son has had a season's experience of the Prem now.
If Chadli and Mason were world beaters then fair enough but everyone seemed to agree last season they were not of the required quality so now the manager has agreed with that I don't see how we are being particularly weakened.
Mario Jardel anyone
but probably still applies. He doesn't really say much transfer deadline day anyway, especially not in the final hoursThat was 16 hrs ago or something...
Then why the fuck are we bidding for Sissoko?
Mario Jardel anyone
Gillingham in a couple of weeks you meanDecember I reckon.
Spot on.doesn't make you less of a fan just because your frustrated with what always seems like inbility to push on, dont think anyone expects 100m worth of signings just with the extra CL cash and extra revenue for finishing 3rd surely we could have found a gem or 2 without waiting to the last minute.Happy clappers are out in full force I see.
Doesn't mean you're less of a fan if you criticise this window, it's okay... You're allowed to.
We are light in key positions and haven't capitalised on achieving CL football.
I see your Mario Jardel and raise you Jackson Martinez.
We must have the youngest PL squad by fucking miles.
