    Daniel Levy - Chairman

    Find me a CEO who is good at every function within his or her's company. I'm mostly a Levy supporter and believe he is a passionate fan just like us. However, I've observed over the years that he doesn't always create diverse leadership groups. I remember at one stage there was 4 of our board...

    I think it depends on contracts and salaries though when you fish in that pond. Using my example, Barella already earns 200k a week, but what a signing he would be at Spurs as a 28 year old attacking midfield winner. At the other end you have Nico Paz at 20. He's on 18k. I'm always cynical...

    Savinho

    Yeah, can't really explain that one. 16 June was when the window re-opened for the second time. Wiki has his move date as 10 July. There was another window open from 1-10 June. It was still 34 days into the available transfer window and after pre-season had started. lol - that is as good as it...

    Eberechi Eze

    What you write is totally fair. Rice, Havertz, Calafiori, Jesus and now Maudeke, Eze, Zubimendi and Gyokeres is converging on half a billion spend (guess). It's not as if the frustration stops when you land players in this higher market space. The players you talk about are there overseas. I...

    Yeah, have a feeling this guy is a season away from his big move. Interesting journey through Baggies, City, Boro and Villa on his way being Villa's most important player. Contracted until 2030 but only on £70k a week. I have no optimism we'll get him either but like the idea that we're...

    Eberechi Eze

    Yeah, wouldn't want him to compromise himself in that way. Not fair, especially as he wears the 2 hats. My point is that success or failure needs to be measured on delivering the outcome. If I think of this in mini phases, I see the stadium years, COVID years followed by the years of sizeable...

    Ben Davies

    It would be interesting that same list but in appearances order. Ben Davies - 11 years, 242 appearances. Not a great average per year to be fair. Better than Shaw's 199 though. Better than Gomez's 150. Some very low "appearances per year" in that list. Then there is Salah at the other end of...

    Savinho

    Is it me, but this one is feeling like the MGW commentary from the media. By that comment, I mean that Spurs had moved on but the press still wanted to keep the MGW story open. Is it perhaps the case that Spurs WERE interested in Sav but when the door shut they moved on? That would have been 2...

    There was a great conversation yesterday about Levy (Steff led the charge). It was about Levy's lack of football operational leadership and it's impact on the outcome over the years. I also call out his lack of football DNA. When you think about that negotiation debate, to us, our outcome of the...

    I think Ange was a little too idealistic, but could be creative with some player choices. Are we learning this early that Frank is both pragmatic and creative in his player choices and systems? So far Frank has looked at the level and style of the opposition and also whether we're at home or on...

    Yeah, in reality Tapsoba has been outstanding for Leverkusen. There was no win vs loss situation there but, as you rightly say, fan and media narratives formed. I actually believed for most of that summer we would get both. I think the difference then was that both names were being discussed...

    Eberechi Eze

    I think the big problem is that buying and selling to Levy is a nurtured state from working in a wacky industry. Stick him into a sales role at a big company and he would learn very quickly that it's not his vocation at all. He's great at a lot of things. He's not a people person and he's not a...

    I guess we should be able to bench anyone in a 60 game season where 5 subs is the norm. Plenty of space for everyone.

    Totally fair. Out of interest, what do you think will get done in the next 10 days? Will we see another Sissoko moment? 8-)

    Eberechi Eze

    It's what I've been beating the drum on and just wrote on the other thread. Realistically the most similar player to MGW is Rogers at Villa. No doubt, our club has done the due diligence there and come to the conclusion that it's a no goer. The 23 year old is their prized asset and contracted...

    Transfer thread

    I think you're missing my point. There may be none available this window and the main 2 AM's we wanted haven't materialised. When you're a really top team there is such a small pool of these players and sometimes you have to wait. Just going down the stack and buying lesser players isn't the...

    For me, Levy and his staff are top vendors. They negotiates pretty well when selling one of our big players. They just seems awful at other side of the equation....buying players. They are 2 very different things. It always feels like a Levy regime treats buying like a game of chess. They...

    Daniel Levy - Chairman

    Is another "bash Poch" narrative. He shouldn't even been presented as an option to the manager if the due diligence was being done by the scouting team. Poch was incredibly unlucky with Wanyama. He was equally unlucky with Sess in my opinion but people don't write about that way. I also think...

    Eberechi Eze

    Firstly, happy birthday Bedford. Hope the Eze meltdown isn't impacting the b'day drinks too much? My take on it is that when we started the summer I was thinking Eze would end up at Gooners. He is a lifelong fan and the time is right for him to go and operate at the next level. I was pleasantly...

    Hincapie 4th or 5th choice? Really? Wouldn't his stock in world football be as high as our current first choice pairing? When did Pep ever worry about his current centre halves feelings when buying the next one? What's the injury record of our current first choice pairing over the last couple of...
