    Ange in or out?

    Top drawer as in about as good as you can get for the position you're looking to fill. I.e. as per my post, you're looking to buy an "understudy/cover" for your no. 9. That is quite a tall ask in terms of selling it to a player and Richarlison was probably the best attainable player that would...

    Well N'Dombele reported to be on £200K a week. Richarlison and Solanke i suspect less.

    There's a lot of revisionism there about those signings. I think they were all seen as top drawer at the time. Richarlison was being brought in as cover for Kane. I'm not sure you'd find a proven forward of better quality that would come to play second fiddle. His ability to play wide...

    It's still something most clubs cannot do regularly. We are one of only 7 English clubs that have ever spent more than £50m on a player and we've done it several times.

    Everything wouldn't be birthed in negativity if we hadn't played like dogsh*t in most of our games going back to the Chelsea home game last season. Everything was all "wow Angeball" and Robbie Williams serenading in those early 10 games....if that had continued they'd all be right up his...

    Conte has never been happy with his backing at any club he's been at. He always gobs off at the club when his results deteriorate. He's left pretty much every club he's coached with a couple of years in acrimonious circumstances. There has been a clear change in the club's transfer dealings...

    You'll never back Conte the way he feels he needs. He's thrown his toys out at every club he's ever managed.

    Ange in or out?

    Yeah. I don't actually have any time for coaches attacking the board publically. Ange, Conte, they knew what they were getting into. Everyone knows how we operate. Everyone knows we make "club" youth signings for the future. Everyone knows the club haggled every last detail in deals. Everyone...

    I don't actually think our ties with the EU were ever actually broken. And most of the movers and shakers within the EU (the leaders of the various member states, I.e. the council of Europe) are different to the ones that were in place when the negotiations were going on. You only have to look...

    I gave Ange the benefit of the doubt last season. I was against his appointment but he had to be given the benefit. You learn and adapt. It's a new club, new league, new level. Can he make the step up and changes to keep improving. First game of the season: Jamie Vardy, one of the league's...

    That's what will likely happen if we get a trade deal carve out with the US, we will become the primary gateway for trade with the US and Europe/east (more so than we already are anyway).

    We actually need to do the opposite. We need to maintain the goodwill of the current US regime and negotiate a trade deal to remove tariffs. We do less than 50% of our trade with the EU and this figure has been declining. The US remains our single largest trading and economic partner and that...

    I think the difference is in the manner of winning tight games. In that, the games under Ange are very rarely "tight" in fact it's a game of chicken in terms of creating chances and gifting chances and to see whose finishing is better on the day. Of course, that can still lead to narrow...

    I think this is a really good summary of Angeball. Executive summary: - Mostly batter anyone you're significantly better than. - Mostly lose to anyone decent. First bullet helps in the general confusion surrounding how ineffective/effective the system is as it pads the stats leading to people...

    Yeah, and it's not actually just Trump, he is just the most extreme example. The EU pushing back on Chinese car imports under pressure from German and French manufacturers is a symptom of increasing protectionism. As is French pressure on the EU to ban the clearing of euro transactions outside...

    I've done this before. When we win we often win big. Ange believes in keeping going, keeping the pressure up all game. When we lose we don't tend to lose by much because we keep attacking, even if 3-0 and have rescued quite a few hammering back to respectable scoreline by scoring a couple of...

    The brexit stuff is more fundamental than other stuff. What would reneging on it even look like? Just applying to rejoining the EU without a referendum? The Labour Party would probably implode in the resulting infighting. Plus, joining the EU now would look very different from what we left. We'd...
