In his spare time?Right Peps signed now, let Hugo do the January window please.
He is not working for us yet!
I think it’s got to be this court case what’s going on and if it is then we can probably accept that as it’s a massive battle we are having .When you look at the previous 4 summers, only Haaland, Alvarez and Gvardiol are decent signings, that’s a horrendous return when you look at money spent and factor in the players we got rid of. He admitted the summer of 2023 wasn’t great so you have to ask what caused the club to remain stagnant the summer after.

Akanji, Ortega, Kovacic and Doku are decent signings. Too early to say about Savinho but he looks promising. Most people thought Gundog coming back was a good signing.When you look at the previous 4 summers, only Haaland, Alvarez and Gvardiol are decent signings, that’s a horrendous return when you look at money spent and factor in the players we got rid of.

Agreed and I am sure Savinhio will prove a class signing, he is coming into a struggling side which makes it even more difficult for him.Akanji, Ortega, Kovacic and Doku are decent signings.

Akanji is ok when alongside stronger players.
Doku has zero end product and nothing in his game suggests that will improve.
Kovacic is decidedly average. Ask yourself , compared to other midfielders we have had, would he get a sniff of the squad never mind be a starter ?
For those players they are 6/10
Ortega is 8/10 for a back up keeper. He was a great find

Sorry I seem to have missed the pile on Akanji memoI disagree

Doku is erratic and probably doesn't deliver as often as he should. Zero end product is a bit daft
Kovacic played 30 Pl league games last season when we won the league. So yes he would get a sniff

If the rags could get Amorim midway through the season why not? We cant afford Txiki sat on his hands bidding 20 million under release clauses in January. If we don't get 2 quality starting XI players in January we're in a fucking dogfight for top 4 and you better believe it.

Because they'd sacked Ten Hag and basically blackmailed him to come now. Txiki is here until the end of this seasonIf the rags could get Amorim midway through the season why not?

Pile on akanji? Not really. Hes just not the strongest and can be exposed. As he has been at CB . Prefer him on the rightSorry I seem to have missed the pile on Akanji memo

Ok ‘zero end product’ for doku is taking it a bit literal. Hows ‘very little end product’?
The writing was on the wall last season for me. Past experience got us over the line in my opinion. Kovacic may have played 30 games but hes a 6/10 player.
My point is , compared to past squads .. he doesnt get a sniff
