We already knew that

His move to tottenham dont bother me too much

we are ok in the attack

I would take Kudus over Gittens any day of the week

Such a shame that Spurs got him and Simons.

Different sides though. Kudus looks a good player in parts but would frustrate the life out of you. If he gets that real ruthless streak in him, he could potentially be a very good player but it remains to be seen if he can deliver at a much higher level week in week out. He has only hit double figures for goals 3 seasons in his whole career.

One of Gittens or Garnacho shouldn’t of been signed so we could have made a move for a more established left winger for them to learn from (and to be more likely to be aboe to contribute directly from the get go). Or even someone more in the mould of Pedro Neto’s age bracket perhaps.

Simons wouldn’t have came here to essentially be a back up to Cole either I think. I know we were short on the fee but he went to PSV & Leipzig to play regularly instead of being a back up/squad player at PSG. I cannot see how a player of that quality would have been happy to sit on the bench while his primary position is occupied by our best player who plays when he is available 90% of the time. He plays out on the left also but he is definitely more of a central player.

So we've wasted hundreds of millions of pounds and we still have a mediocre goalkeeper and defense...

Weren’t complaining at the time when we were winning all those trophies and signing top top players, where you? I don’t think anyone was or would be in all honesty. Saying “ah so its ok to cheat” after everything Roman did for the club is also a bit ridiculous and ungrateful no? 

Taking the moral high ground at any level - be it the new owners all the way down to fans - is a bit daft now because it’s happened, nobody really knew, now we do. 

Even BlueCo have done some questionable things since taking over. Like Radcliffe at United also. Look at City also with their charges…. Footballs a business, business is shady. 

Who said anything about taking titles…. These charges aren’t for match fixing…. 

Why would I complain at the time when no one knew? What a stupid argument to make, fact is we all up in arms about Man City should get this Man City should get that, but now it’s us it’s a different story 😂, been charged with 74 counts, you can sugar coat it all you want but it’s cheating, also the last part of your message I never said anything about loosing titles you have just plucked that out of thin air, what I originally said was I’d blame the previous owners over the new as it was Roman era where it happened, I don’t blame any one for paying 3 billion pounds for a company to then find out it’s had some dodgy stuff going on in the back ground and then bringing it forward willingly, saying it was never going to come out isn’t a bet I’d like to take after spending 3 billion.

 

are we that pathetic as fans that we would rather win at any cost that cheating is now acceptable as long as we don’t get caught? If so football is done.

What cheating? This is related to agents payments... Zero influence on the pitch.

 Right? Doesn't have to be on the pitch mate, cheating comes in many forms etc, no one saying we cheated on the pitch, we could get anything from a fine to trophy’s removed and the extreme end demoted from the league, we don’t know how serious the punishment will be until we get it, fine or points deduction is the more likely scenario

Bayern Munich inquired on deadline day about Sterling when they were in negotiations with Chelsea over Jackson. Napoli were also interested.

For reasons that are not clear, Sterling seemed reluctant to move overseas, or potentially even away from London.

Manchester United were interested in the summer of last year and got little encouragement from the player.

He was brought up round Wembley way and there was an interview where he said he and his family were happy in London - even after the burglary where jewelery and watches (who spends half a million on a fucking watch ? 😅 obviously overpaid footballers) were taken. Although in the 'bomb squad' hes listed in our 25/26 PL squad.

I agree but I was more saying that Kudus would have offered a different physical profile to the rest of our attack.

It would be similar to Arsenal getting Eze when they have Odegaard already.   Arteta wanted that technical skill and they will have more than enough game time over the season.

Surely Maresca would have found a way to play with Simons & Palmer 😄

Seems like both him and Disasi were listed in the PL squad because we had space. 

Estevao, Gittens, Facundo are all in the U21 list as per PL webpage

Romano has to be getting paid by the shitrag Fichajes. He is openly pushing so many bullshit stories by them. He is a fool to destroy his credibility like that.
