Liverpool are bringing Nunez in to fill in the holes left by Mane's impending departure, Origi going to Milan and Minamino seemingly close to leaving as well. I wouldn't exactly call that "strengthening". YorkshireBlue 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I mean the woman's team signed a player and Gilmour signed a contract extension. So it's not like things CANT happen quickly with new ownership. Whatever the reason, they're slow. End of. To be fair, and reading between the lines, the two CFCW signings were agreed before the sanctions were imposed and so were ready to go as soon as the takeover was done.

Fernando 6,585 Posted June 14, 2022 Share Posted June 14, 2022 I think they are doing the right thing if they sell because the trend these last 2 years is to run down your contract and leave for nothing. So in the 2 year of contract if you don't extend you should look to sell. I think a lot of clubs will be wise to consider this trend and start doing the same when you get to 2 years left in your contract.

I'd argue Spurs finished 3rd completely dependent on that front 3 and for the first time seemingly forever keeping Kane fit all year, the rest of their squad is distinctly average. Granted they are doing a good job improving areas of that squad but they are in the same position still of being reliant on Kane and Son staying fit through the season. Go and find what Spurs fans think of Emerson Royal. If you think he was a revelation that's your opinion, but every time I watched him he was barely better than useless in every possible characteristic and I know the vast majority of Spurs fans don't rate him whatsoever. And there's talk that Reguilon might get moved back to Spain as he's out of favour at Spurs. He's been ok, but he's someone a lot of this fan base was raging about Spurs buying for a cheaper price than Chilwell a couple of years ago. He's never hit the heights that the hype suggested. I don't think there's much difference between those wing back options as depth though with the only real difference being ours are much older and started showing their age last season when having to play every game. I remember people wrote off Liverpool last season based on their window. Ofcourse not saying we'll get 90 plus points but similarly we were in a bit of a false position last season due to the mitigating circumstances (Covid ravaged December then ownership issues). Also 2019 when we lost Hazard couldn't sign anyone while Tottenham, Arsenal and United played supermarket sweep there were similar sweeping statements about how all three will leave us for dust, two finished comfortably behind us (and haven't got back above us since) while the other needed goal difference to finish above us.

ChelseaFanUK 1,014 Posted June 14, 2022 Share Posted June 14, 2022 I think we have to be patient here, because a lot of clubs are going to hesitate about buying players currently in nations league unless they get injured. I think from next week on itll pick up. Plus, many clubs wait until after June 30 too Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Superblue 6,372 Posted June 14, 2022 Share Posted June 14, 2022 England will never win anything under Southgate, he's had incredible luck with the draws England have enjoyed in tournaments.

Clockwork 1,794 Posted June 15, 2022 Share Posted June 15, 2022 (edited) Lol why did this thread became a England NT thread? Anyway I think it is nuts to sign a player that can’t pass a physical.
