I think mason would have ended up here regardless of who was manager. The Allams have to give Spurs a bundle of money upon promotion
The thing about mason and Henrickson have they been given a run of games in the team in their preferred positions? Can both play in the team together? This all comes down to not having a style of play and formation, we didn't buy them because they could play in our system or play certain roles, we bought them because they were available.
Unbelievable that Phelan does not know if there is money to spend...... is he too afraid to ask mini nudger the question??
You're being really unfair on Ehab. He has a very demanding job - hence his £1m a year remuneration package. He has his media duties, he's been working day and night these last 18 months trying to sell the club, devising the 'Earn Your Stripes' scheme, selecting a new automated turnstile scheme, closing down the ticket office, and his other duties. I'm sure he's burning the midnight oil on our transfer war chest and will disclose it to to MP at the business end of the transfer window just when it's too late.
You are just rearranging the deckchairs on the Titanic. No decent manager would come here. Our owners don't know any. Even if they did, they don't want to pay the going rate for one. Until the club changes ownership there is no chance of any investment in players or managers. This means relegation. Can't believe people are still nitpicking over tactics and team selections, and not seeing the big picture.
That comment alone filled me with dread not for just what left of this car crash of a season but beyond,Phelan more or less stated to Burnsy ,that he's going to have to " beg steal or borrow" during the January window and that he has no idea with six days to go till the window opens, how much he's going to have to invest in new players , from my point of view this makes it harder to take as for 70 mins yesterday, city went head to head with a team full off " big time Charlie's" rattled them, shut there fans up, only to be shot in the foot by subbing the heart of the team. It would appear that MP learnt nothing from the Leicester and Swansea games, in fact his after match interviews remind me of a failing dictators spokesman, running out the party line, that's all is well in Allam land. Bit of a rant I know, but the thought of what might have been is a bitter pill to swallow.
Phelan is a canny media operator hence his calculated revelation about not knowing his January budget. Like SB before him, he has to manage upwards too.
I'm not convinced by that. It would be easier for him to tell Burnsey that he knows what he has to spend but won't reveal all.... It's far more likely that his statement was an attempt to put pressure on Tiny Dick Tim to open up the cheque book
The Allams will sell, sell, sell, in the window, and bring in **** all. They're only worried about filling their wallets, and couldn't give a **** about the club
We need to stop signing Southern Hemisphere players. The disruption caused by their tournaments and WC qualifiers has caused us issues in recent seasons.
Tiotes available for around £1m apparntly absolute bargain Loftus cheek available on loan Fosu mensah available on loan 3 cheap but very effective signings just need a cheap striker lol
Loftus cheek is a CM isnt he. And another CM. And fosu Mensah is a CM or CB. FFS hutch were you responsible for our summer transfers?
Loftus-Cheek started off as a midfielder, but has been played as a striker in every game he's played under Conte.
