I think you will sign Maddison, possibly Tielemans too. A CB shouldn't be too hard to find. You still have the spine of a really good team, Kane, Son, Kulesevski, Bentancur, Romero, Emerson Royal( :emoticon-0140-rofl: )

Maddison would be great.

A good CB wouldn’t be hard to find for most clubs, for us it’ll be like winning a double rollover on the lottery. Though anyone but Dier or Sanchez will be a start.

TBH i don't think many people care where the money comes from regarding their own team as long as it's made accessible to the manager. Ethics are great when you can use them against someone else :emoticon-0105-wink:

Depends how evil the owners are. The Saudi regime is vile. I wouldn’t want their money anywhere near my club.

It's the off field stuff that sticks in my mind, if someone buys the club will they also own the hotels etc or will all that stay with ENIC.
Where does ENIC end and Spurs begin? will a new owner really want to pay for a ground that cost twice as much as it needed to because of a sliding pitch and a cheese room :bandit:

So realistically you've answered your own question on whats needed first. A hell of a good DOF with a clear plan and vision for the next 5 - 10 years. Then you get the manager, then you get the players.

Yeah but that comes back on the board for actually finding them.

Last one we had was actually good but ended up being a crook. We don’t do **** easy round here.

I like some of your midfield (Bissouma, Bentancur and Hjoberg) and forwards (Son, Kane and Kulusevski and even Richarlison if used right). It's your back-line that looked dodgy whenever I saw you and agree a GK and CB could change the feel of the team but your full-backs don't seem overly popular with your fans either (didn't you buy Djed Spense, isn't he meant to be good). Feels like there's been more misses than hits with purchases in the last couple of years but I reckon 3 players and a manager capable of getting the most out of the ones you have would be enough for a top 4 push again (something which was sustained for most of the season) especially as I see us and Arsenal both being negatively affected by midweek games. I think with the exception of City the top 8 are almost entirely unpredictable next season (Man Utd are the only other club I'd expect to get top 4).

Hojbjerg’s a grafter but he ain’t top six starting midfielder. Conte ruined Bissouma, tried playing him as a ****ing DM. Get him playing like at Brighton though and he’s class. Bentancur’s amazing, missed him massively.

Richarlison is awful. There’s a reason he’s spent his career at bottom half clubs. Hands down the dumbest signing we’ve ever made.

We’ve had ridiculous amounts of misses than hits over the last few years, Bentancur’s been the only real game changer. It’s why we’re in the mess we are. Kane and to a lesser extent Son, have been carrying the team for about 4 years now because of the dross we’ve mainly brought in.

Would love to know what's happened to Hugo Lloris? I sit centre of the nets 5 rows back at The Leazes and we were all pissing ourselves at just how bad he was. his general positioning just made no sense. If he's like that most games it's no wonder you've struggled.

Age caught him up badly this season. Been one of the best keepers we’ve ever had but I think having too many years of Dier and Sanchez in front of him has finally broken him.

Rumours some Saudi side are offering him £300k a week, I hope he takes it - after we’ve given him a testimonial.

One season finishing 4th and they're on here lecturing every cnut on how to run a football club.

This seasons 'success' has went straight to their massive nappers.

1955. The wait goes on.

I couldn't be happier with the way SAFC is being run. Our reputation as the place to be for the best young talent is growing rapidly. Buy players for pennies and turn them into 8 figure assets.

In about 5 year time we'll be regarded as the Borussia Dortmund of England :1980_boogie_down:
