I cant argue with that mate....bloody beautiful!!! ;)
 
Maybe "o.k" is not good enough.......I think this year is different....I would say, after winning the prem we got too comfortable thinking we could win it again...now we trying to get back on top...


I haven't seen as much as most on here but I was there when Spurs beat us in the FA Cup and Luton town scored in last 5minutes to relegate us....so I've seen a lot of shit mate!;) Much prefer to see us winning the prem! Was just trying to explain why some might flap this transfer window....and wouldn't knock any fan if they got alittle worried even in June!
The only two games of note you recall are inglorious defeats

You're some jinx

just tried to think of the games that have scarred me for life and couldn't get much shitter than those 2 games!! he! ;) Still remember singing for Swales to be sacked outside maine rd after the Luton game....don't think I've ever felt more "shitter" after a game, than I did that day! Understand what you were saying earlier in the thread tho mate!

Blimey... Comes around earlier every year it seems
 
Not to continue on the same thread here but KDB is the only 1 out of those 3 that we have viable options to if we miss, Isco. Sterling and pogba doesn't have any equals who tick those boxes like they do, kdb has.

I know what you mean. We can find alternatives to KDB if we have to. There aren't many players that have pace and will create and score so many - certainly not for the same price. Many offer a combination of one or other but not all of those. Sterling for example needs to work on his goal scoring. Reus isn't going to ghost past players, he's more like Nasri with trickery on the ball... it's a tough one.

It's never long before a player of KDB's ilk comes along though. He's an exciting talent and though prices are hugely inflated these days I think he's worth the money. Looking at the fee the rags paid for Depay - who is a much bigger risk - I think it's worth it.

Still cant believe the rags starting buying players before us this offseason...hate to see them improving!; )
 
hope the latest round of media reports this week ends up not coming to fruition.

Sterling, KDB and Pogba to Alex Song and another year of an older unmotivated Yaya Toure is not enough to reclaim the title.

As good as Pogba and Sterling are, there are always alternatives. You only have to look at Andre Gomes, Verratti even if we wanted to be really offensive. As for wingers, Reus, Brahimi, etc

When you look at comments like this does anyone else think the quality of players on the market is actually lower this year?

When you think Suarez, Bale, Neymar, Ozil, Di Maria (not saying he's exactly shone), Sanchez, Rodriguez, Kroos were all on the move in the last couple of years now the biggest buys are Pogba, De Bruyne and Sterling (although I do believe Griezmann to be the best on the market) imo it's a step down from proven class to largely raw potential + one excellent season.
 
... so why are people so worked up about flappers?
They have form. The last few summers have seen us linked with players who were said to be "in the bag" yet the windows turned out to be a sad let down. It's about time we turned back the clock and really got back to the days when we were signing players of the quality of Aguero and Yaya instead of the benchwarmers that we actually ended up with.

this just confirms the true purpose and damage done by FFP. Without the constraints we could have looked at all of those players, all of whom are under 27, or under.
