@Kish_P14 The PL is a completely different level especially physically and almost any signing from another league now carries risk.
But I do agree with you, there’s a difference between ‘Prem proven’ and ‘played in the Prem’ - risk stockpiling upper mid-table players on huge money
@Kish_P14 Is this really proven true about RDZ or being based off going with experience for seven matches at the end of last season and selling kids now?
And who has he overlooked/missed who ended up being a decent player?
@JackPittBrooke Spot on Jack. You don’t win major tournaments playing like that for such long periods of the biggest games. What happened to losing our way? All that pace left on the bench, not to mention options he ignored in squad and last night to provide more control
@GavinBarwell This is worse because we showed for the first 60 mins we could keep the ball and were probably edging an even game. There’s no technical gap we just absolutely folded and that’s on the manager
@alanshearer Started before the changes but cowardly from Tuchel. Absolutely no intent to keep the ball, got what we deserved. What happened to it we’re going to lose, we’ll do it our way? Genuinely sackable coaching performance, my head is on Mars
@AdamCrafton_ Tuchel’s cowardly tactics cost us, just not how you win these games between two pretty even teams. Much worse than the Euros final which he hammered Southgate for. Should be sacked.
@charlieparrish Would swap Danso for Porro - elite mentality. Didn’t make much of Tonali’s signing BTS video but £100m 26-yr-old should be in there. Heard brilliant things about Kinsky’s mentality and leadership - interested how he develops as a leader as No1
@AlasdairGold Where was this when Newcastle were spending? Or for other “Big Six” clubs while we were counting the pennies? Two 17ths used against us when those finishes were as a result of us not utilising our finances from the stadium, numerous European campaigns etc 🤦♂️
@Kish_P14 He’s also tactically smart and will improve under De Zerbi. Milan fans used to describe him as a Gattuso/Pirlo hybrid - think we’ll see the best of him in a functioning RDZ team. The price is what it is for PL proven which is understandable policy right now
@WindyCOYS@NathanAClark@MC_of_A Yep the PL is so far ahead of other leagues that right now we need to mitigate all risk while we build a squad to go from 17th to competitive. Once that’s done it’s less of a gamble in a year or two to try and beat the market more with overseas players etc
@szyexcl@tottenhammilgra@SpursJourno I rate you szy you clearly have contacts but please stick to what you know - as soon as I saw you tag that fake no-mark ‘ITK’ I had concerns you were overstretching compared to other times
