No doubt Mahrez is a really good player but he would cost silly money and we don't need someone in that position.
Mahrez would only suit our system when we have possesion, definitely not when we are out of possesion.
Despite all this huge windfall we are receiving and the potential new exciting acquisitions, the bottom line is: We are now an established feeder club to Barcelona in the same way as Southampton are to us. They are just paying us more than we are the Saints for their players. Symbolically as a club we are now well below Barcelona. That should hurt us fans given our history in European football and global following. Unless we break that cycle we are not going to move up to challenge for major trophies. We can have all sorts of excuses: players dream team, wife's love of the country etc etc. But no one seems to come and pick off City's playsrs? Or Chelsea's. What about Madrid trying to lure DeGea? They don't always have to be successful and when they come for Salah as they surely will they will be very confident that we will cave in despite any length of contract, We can see why FSG had to take the money but sooner or later we've got to break that cycle.
a cult because we don't all collapse and start crying that we've sold one of our players? obviously you would love us to sink like a stone now, but I think we're a little more than one player
As if to prove my point Start with the ‘you’ll never walk alone’ ****e now mate, I’ll be in tears by the first chorus
Nothing to do with the fact that you chose the tougher fixtures for him to start I suppose. ****ing lol
Your mentality and ours is different, that's all. You lose Lukaku and end up in blind panic and Fat Sam to the rescue, we'll just crack on
My thinking is that the club can now make a statement or not by replacing Coutinho with the likes of Draxler or Lemar, if they do that then the fans will be happy and look forward to their new signing. Coutinho will be quickly forgotten. Do nothing and the fans will not be happy.
Im not sure we are buying anyone. If we are its already been agreed on the quite before selling coutinho. If not why sell first then make it obvious to selling clubs you have money and price goes up? Spurs brought before selling bale.
