Hubris and complacency strikes again. It has often been our undoing after a successful seasonIt has been a dreadful week for the board - we’ve been played like a fiddle on Ronaldo and the Kane deal just sounds like a calamity, almost like Levy was the only grown up in the room. And why our French full back was anywhere near the first team and actually playing the first game of the season is simply astounding in my view.
Add to that the Super League episode and it begins to look there’s a lack of oversight regarding the performance of the board.
we're not talking about success of a football club, we are talking specifically success of a transfer strategy.How else would you judge the performance of a football club?
Only we could break the English transfer record and not significantly improve the squad. That said Grealish is a good player and the board and owners have given us more success in the last 12 years than we could have dreamed. Hopefully we will have a Striker and a LB sorted for next summer.
:/I think Grealish coming in for Agüero (who only managed to start 12 league games and score 4 league goals) does strengthen us. Plus we're rid of Garcia and potentially Mendy, which should cheer some folk up
Go on, explain.
Mendes presented a deal, we fancied it, put forward our offer. Mendes touts him to the rags as well, they offered and Ronaldo chooses them.
Please explain how Omar, Txiki or anyone else could have changed that.
would you say that it strengthen us to a degree of 100m? I think 100m would have strengthened us a lot more if paid for a striker.I think Grealish coming in for Agüero (who only managed to start 12 league games and score 4 league goals) does strengthen us.

Yeah, its like eBay mate. You hit the buy it now button and nothing can change, you own Ronaldo, gets shipped over and he starts next week.Paid the £30m first day when asked rather than trying to negotiate down
