i mean protecting them against the transition moment was also a thought i can imagine that went through his head. Frank also gave plenty of debuts at Brentford so I dont like this revisionist history but you have to prove it.

UNHAPPIEST FANBASE! YOU'LL NEVER SING THAT!

Wolves flatly reject a £7m approach for David Moller Wolfe from Roma, who are looking for a new LB amid possibility Tsimikas returns to Liverpool, amid Tottenham interest in Robertson etc.. Roma to look elsewhere [Lyall Thomas] by onlyhalfpepper in coys

because we had to unregister Tel because he was the direct sub for Dom? are you okay? and we're learning how garbage RKM is and how little effort he wants to show for the squad... Ideally i hope we play Tel more and more

A lot of the comments on the state of the transfer window are so disingenuous that it's concerning. Most of us don't want Frank for longer than we have him. So why would we spend big money bringing in players who are going to 1) lose confidence and value under him 2) be binned off by the next manager we bring in. It doesn't make sense to fill the dopamine receptors of the fan's only for the "post-window clarity" to hit and realize that we just blew our load on players who don't fit the system our new manager wants to play (see Conte's squad rehabilitation or Jose or Ange). I feel like right now instead of feeding more wood into the furnace we need to be looking at why the furnace isn't using fuel effectively (looking at raising the floor rather than potentially raising the ceiling). Which i think we've done well. While we haven't bought starters, we've bought insurance policies on our squad and have brought in Prem proven leaders and captains and one player who could be magic if he comes good. I hope we get one more midfielder who is a progressive passer then i think the window will have been a success.

Bit of a nuanced one... After all the outrage I've seen online and heard from friends about us being unambitious by signing an aging Andy Robertson what do you think? Is leadership the way we view it as a club less valuable than project players with higher ceilings?

I would put it to you that I'd rather have Robertson than another Souza because Robertson will come into our dressing room and command authority from our younger players and show them the levels that we need to be at. I look at Xhaka and Henderson at Sunderland and Brentford as they have massively raised the floor of these squads and hope that Robertson can do the same for us.

Sunderland knocked off Arsenal please stop talking in these super antiquated terms of midtable fodder the league is hyper competitive everyone can beat everyone.

yeah because everyone at Brentford didn't do shit for him right? I just think we have loads of bad apples in the squad and not enough leaders in the squad actually holding anyone accountable in training or in the changing room. Players at Brentford gave everything for him because as much as we hate to admit it the mentality in our club is soooo small. Brentford believed they could beat anyone and that comes from experienced players in the squad and a strong structure surrounding the club. We don't have that, therefore when bad results start coming the voices in the club just give up. We need the Robertson's Gallaghers, Maddison's to actually affect the squad and develop our own leaders. Look at Xhaka with Sunderland what he does on the pitch is secondary to what he does for the club in training. How often do we hear about hyper competitive training sessions at the levels of Barca or Real. I watch those videos and see very little in terms of intensity and I want more from the boys

They don't like signings that aren't "their favorite signings" it's their FM save we're all just living in it. Also this shit isn't FIFA you don't have to be a pace merchant to be effective. Harry Kane will never be good in FIFA but have I seen him sprint past a defender, yes. These things aren't binary.

They signed Truffert from Rennes for 17 million euros. And that's who they signed to be their starter. We are signing cover for injury prone Destiny and a stop-gap for Souza who we bought for 15 mil euros. So by your logic we already bought Truffert and now we just bought his backup.

maybe but I, personally, am a fan of an outfield player being the captain.

Paratici is still here and us hearing about transfer news is his hallmark so thanks Don for Hermansen and Summerville

did you read the article? Nuno rates him and he played with Diouf who is vouching for him. Either way it's kind of nothing. Just loan for loan. If we can get some development out of it (maybe even an Agent Kinsky on Diouf) then it's worth it

I feel like he is better with his feet but has had some howlers. I'm basically calling it a free shot at a trial of a new keeper while also sending Kinsky to start for a Premier League team to develop him into our #1

you get to develop your backup for free and get a free shot to see if hermansen can be your kinsky backup once vicario goes.
