Re: Summer transfer thread, do NOT believe everything SSN "understand" #Levytime
ITK? We've signed Norman Lamont?Now we're fisting?

It's not crap, but we're drastically lacking in intelligence. What we needed was a Kagawa, a Cazorla, a Hazard... we need brains, creativity, flair, an ability to spot and execute the right passes instantly. The likes of Dempsey and Siggy can score for lower-half teams, but they are not stylistically suited for the top teams that face deeper defenses. Dembele has individual talent but still hangs on to the ball for far too long at times and runs up blind alleys in the final third.
Liverpool have been far cleverer in taking Sahin, Allen, Borini, and Yesil - unproven, yes, but the style is right, the technique is there.
We've lost the best "team intelligence" players in this squad. Moutinho will be a big help in filling Modric's role, but he's not enough imo. It's not that I'm displeased with what we've bought, it's that we haven't bought enough to challenge for top four.
You said it was done 5 hours ago
If we sign Moutinho and Lloris plus one more, it will not have been a "crap window" at all.
cant believe the hysteria in here. BOTH will be signed
Lloris and Moutinho will be ours, Llorente turned us down, and Dempsey could come. That's clear.
But there's still one thing I can't understand: why don't we have a Natalie Sawyer thread in Vice Den?
Must be waiting to announce a few at the same time....
I swear Levy waits not until the last minute, but until the written press have already gone to print, just to tinkle them off. It's amazing how many ITK's are know quiet at the business end of the window.
People are seriously under-rating Sig in this thread IMO.
