To put this another way, we're 6 point behind Spurs who still have a healthy Kane, battered us at The Bridge a few weeks ago and still have us at home. We've just lost Kante for the season and our two signings are an unproven winger from Holland and a player Benfica were openly trying to get rid off. Would you give us a hope in hell of catching them? United are a bit of a worry I'll give you that (although I'm not convinced Bruno is as good as the stats suggest) but if Spurs get top 4 then I will potentially reaccess my view on Jose's present day level, that's how unlikely/good an achievement I think it would be. Mourinho in his first season for any club manages to get to the top four. Say what you want about Tottenham but they have a better squad overall. I would be surprised if Tottenham does not end up making the top four, especially when they've signed decent players. I am Dutch and watch Eredivisie matches and what you're saying about Bergwijn is nonsensical. He is a very good player, with huge potential. Don't forget that the average league you're talking about produced some of the best players football has ever seen. Muzchap 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Superblue 6,372 Posted January 29, 2020 Share Posted January 29, 2020 It's not the most ideal of situations because we do clearly need improvements to our team but I still agree with what appears to be the club's stance to keep our transfer budgets until the summer. We shouldn't be dictated to by what United and Spurs are doing. It allows us to go into the summer in the strongest possible position financially to move for our top targets. And the idea that if we missed out on top 4 will mean we are left buying rubbish players is laughable. There are plenty of players who will be attainable in the summer that could improve and/or add something to our squad irrespective of Champions League football.

Special Juan 28,141 Posted January 29, 2020 Share Posted January 29, 2020 We need reinforcements, and if that secures top 4 then right now that's main aim, then I am all for it. The fact this board are a bunch of complete clowns I do not trust them any longer never mind the summer to secure the so called top targets. Oh and you can forget the Sancho's, elite strikers and quality wing backs coming here if we don't get top 4, it will be fill in players again.

Meanwhile at Chelsea when we also desperately need players... *crickets* If these fools think they can get top 4 without strengthening our squad.... All of them, and even if people think they are poor players or United/Spurs are crap, they are making signings to help their cause of top 4. They are taking action, so that if they don't they can say they gave it their best go. You could call Bruno a panic buy, you could call Bergwijn a panic buy, you could also say Cavani would be a panic loan but it's doing as much as you can to achieve the most you can, and then come the summer build around those players to strengthen even more.

Seen it to many times. Wasted. Especially if we dont get top 4 which I dont think we will. If we do miss out dont think we have the board capable of convincing players Even if teams are seen as panic buying. Its making things fresh. We need that. Dont have that.

Tadic, Baker another examples... Lozano played in a much better PSV side that won the league. Bergwijns PSV is currently in 5th place. Also Lozano moved to a club where he had to fight for his spot, Bergwijn will surely start for Tottenham. Tadic almost went to the CL final and destroyed big clubs like Madrid. Baker was not as good as Bergwijn or Lozano tbf. Vesper 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He refuse to play him and it is normal that board would rather take 7m-8m for a player who is not in the squad than lose him for free... And tbh we do not need 3 strikers. Two is enough for every team that plays with one striker. Before January transfer window I expected to lose Giroud and Michy and to buy one top striker like Dembele.

The board has the responsibility to allow our manager to succeed, and the manager has the responsibility of utilising his best options. There needs to be clear communication as to why Giroud isn’t playing. He’s still a good player and far superior than Batshuayi who is bottom half quality at best. Taking away Giroud and bringing in no one weakens us. I will side with the board of no one comes yet no one leaves. Vesper 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
