Maybe they think Japan is Korea.
I probably just saw words back up and flipped again
Its really winding me up all this talk of squad options. Our first 11 is dreadful so why sign someone not good enough to play
Spurs are the only ones who have shown any interest in Pickford and they almost certainly won't sign him in January, especially when come the summer he'll have 12 months left on his deal or we'll be in no place to turn down any offer that comes in anyway.
No other PL club is interested.
Spurs, Chelsea, Newcastle - they all like Gordon. But you don't go begging teams to buy your players if you want to get any decent value for them ultimately.

Going round with a begging bowl is the least of our concerns. We won't get anything like market value if we are trying to sell these players off as a Championship club so I don't believe it would make a difference.
It is moot anyway of course, a month doesn't leave much time to get things sorted especially if you are selling players so it's a pipe dream from my end anyway. We are just in a state of paralysis as a club. Our hierarchy is constantly caught off guard, always behind the curve. I bet we have no clue who we'll even replace Lampard with, never mind who'll we bring in if we do manage to sell some players.
Agree there!

Dele Alli, just like a new signing. 100k a week.

Agreed if they were backing Lamps give him the tools we are badly lacking goal scorers, the job is too big for Lampard but time and again the board hamstring managers. The club is rotten. Not sure how it changes. We need more than a new manager in the short term we need two or three goal scorers.
Honestly think Mykolenko is a really decent player but he is allergic to going forward. He'd be absolutely fine as a backup option but you shouldn't be spending whatever we did on a backup option. I just can't believe how awfully this club is run. If Moshiri sacked the board and put 3-5 random supporters in there and they literally could not do worse.
Terrified of leaving space behind him and getting caught out. It’s a mentality thing. If we’re going to lose just make sure it’s not me who is seen to be at fault. This is the attitude we have now.

Apparently Alex Iwobi was more expensive than Brighton's entire starting 11. Their recruitment compared to ours is just night and day. They have got their finger on the pulse of practically every football market to bring through top emerging talent and their succession planning is just breathtakingly efficient. Sign Cucurella for like £15m, sell him a year later for £60m, no problem, sign Estupinian for £15m - and they'll already have a list as long as your arm already of replacements for him where he to go.
Compare that to us, sign Richarlison for £40m after half a good season of top flight football, sell him for a scant profit four years later with nobody in mind at all to replace him, and leave ourselves completely toothless at the end of it. Next transfer window, we have to recall a lad from a loan deal because we are that desperate.
We are just appalling at every single aspect of being a professional football club and sustainable business.
