You mean no one believes the massive clickbaity title which he didn’t actually say? He’s basically said ‘we’ll listen to offers for players and if anyone is offered to us we might take it’. Do you not believe that?
I remember him saying “we are going to be very busy in the transfer window” the season we sold Cesc and Nasri.
Although we were busy, selling our best players wasn’t exactly what the supporters wanted.
He talks about values and commitment, but when those values are to the detriment of the club, all he is doing is dragging us down.
He isn’t doing what is best for the supporters or the club, he is doing what is best for him, which is just being stubborn and having selfish attitude.
He also goes on about making sacrifices but no one has forced him to stay here and earn 8m a season.
He chose to.
Frankly, the way to think about the league is a six team cohort, split roughly into two groups, those that spend with the biggest spenders in the world and the “rich” tier. No one else really comes close over a large enough sample size. The problem is that AW never punches above his weight any more… like literally NEVER.
And now we aren’t even clearly top of that second tier, despite having substantial advantages. I really could see us slip to sixth this year… it will be very close, but I just dont see what there is to get optimistic about. Spurs are getting back on track, have the best striker in the league, and Pool just addressed their biggest weakness (GA), by buying the most expensive defender ever. If they bench Miggy, they can finish above us.
Regarding the goalie, we also need to replace Cech and probably Ospina in the summer. The former is too old by now, while the latter wants to play more game.
