Heroin without an e = drug. Heroine with an e = female hero. The Commitments lodged that one in my head
you kinda make his point for him thoughâŚ
theres a handful (at most) of clubs we cant go toe to toe with in a transfer war, then theres the other 100 plus clubs across europe who dont stand a chance against usâŚ
we are not some kind of unicorn, we operate in the same industry as every other club that manages to do good businessâŚ
seen em all over the years
we cant compete with *****
we dont want to do a chelsea/man u and have a bloated squad
players prefer london
players we can get arent good enough
no point sining him, heâll be off to Barca within three years
we have a new manager
trust the process, its been successful
you just want the club to go broke and sign anyone
its not FSG who make the transfers
i sit on the sidelines here as this forum comes swiping in everytime someone suggests the ownership group is less than perfect, i will say, if anyone is really calm with the clubs movements this summer i suggest they take a closer lookâŚ
in my mind, even if we won the league, the squad need constant evolution, new faces are so much more in a dressing room than a new peice on the chessboard for the managerâŚim never relaxed when the first team isnt added to over a summer period, you leave yourself too much to do if you back end even just one transfer period (IMHO)
that said, this summer is really, for whatever reason, one i am at (not quite) peace with, its obvious that we arent goin to âgo for itâ and see this season as a consolidation, maximum is champions league qualification, and minimum is champions league qualificationâŚ
We have a new manager who appears to be laser-focused on extracting the very best from the excellent squad he has inherited.
The fact that the club cannot afford to spend like drunken sailors on shore leave appears to have missed many people.
We arenât Man City: we cannot throw money away willy-nilly.
But we arenât Everton, either. We wonât spend just for the sake of it.
If the right player is available at the right price, we will do our utmost to sign him.
The fact that we havenât been able to add anybody to the squad yet, whilst unfortunate, should be seen as a good thing: Arne has faith in the players at his disposal.
Iâm still happy with our owners and I donât question their willingness to spend.
I am disappointed because it feels like it took the club 6 months to appoint Klopps successor and nobody from the new hierarchy started working before July.
Some talk as if the only spending this club has is just on buying players. In Feb we announced a record revenue but yet a pre tax loss. I think the previous of one of the years, we posted a small profit? Not sure but this is the reality of PL. How many clubs can continue posting losses year after year? Man cheaters can but not us and we shouldnât. And other smaller clubs could have stop spending but we are prudent. We balanced spending Vs performance on field and are pretty successful.
I agree. And itâs not only disastrous, but also utterly stupid.
To be fair, that one is literally true.
its true, but its not an excuseâŚ
I see Henry was in attendance.
Took some nerve that under the circs. Fair play to him.
What circumstances?
The one were he comes to watch his teamâs new coach win his second game, taking over the legendary former manager he appointed, in a stadium 1/3 bigger than it was when he bought the club. Probably had a little stroll through the trophy room to look at the PL and CL titles we won in his time as owner.
Surprised he wasnât lynched.
Absolute balls of steel that guy.
Probably visited the Training Centre which would have costed the Cheaters a new wingback. Shameless.
Now that we arent signing anyone atleast get the contract part sorted. Very worried with Trent and VVD. Trent more so after yesterdayâs reaction - i know he had given some under Klopp but yesterdays wasnt very necessary as we were cruising 2-0. I am more confident that Alisson and Salah will stay.
Fucking shameless, our ownerâŚ

Whereâs the sentimental gold chain money ? John ?
There is no gold chain money.
The sentinmental gold bracelet money though, that is a different story.
You can all rest easyâŚ

I know TAN has been fretting.
Well, thatâs our shot at signing a new DM gone.
Stunning. Tapas and sangrias overlooking La Concha beach
