Not before we get to see Spurs go down.

Would we ever look at Troy Parrott I wonder? Think he'd be a very good upgrade on any of our 3 strikers and wouldn't cost huge money.
-
Agree it would be the right time to sell Barnes. As we've seen with Wissa 29ish is a good age to sell players who are reliant on their pace.

Add knee-slide celebrations to the list of things Nick needs to work on.
-
He's living in Monaco where he moved to avoid paying tax. He's the billionaire in the billionaire cookie meme.

We thought we were getting that kind of player in Wissa but he showed up looking like Brando for the filming of Apocalypse Now.
-
If prospective signings were put through a series of athletic tests ala the NFL Combine,(time them sprinting short distances for example) I don't think you'd pay anything near what we did for Nick, and might be put off signing him altogether. Not sure you'd sign Wissa either, but presumably he was a bit more athletic before that injury.

Exceptional athlete, average enough skill level imo. Would love him to stay if he really wanted to be here as he can be very effective but has always given off Isak vibes of seeing us as a stepping stone to somewhere else.

He's a much better shot stopper than Ramsdale and has been infinitely better for Brentford this season than Ramsdale has for us. Has had some of his worst games against us though, he was a brilliant backup for Liverpool but the 3-3 draw and the League Cup final against us were maybe his worst days for them. In the previous year's League Cup final 1-0 win over Chelsea he was superb and was generally brilliant in those cup runs, won a few shootouts for them and has a great record on penalties this year too. Been a hero for the Irish team too.

As well as avoiding the "proven Premier League player" market from now on, I think we need to make it policy to never again sign players who down tools to get more money somewhere else. It's a clear indicator of a lack of moral fibre. I bet he knows very little about Sean Connery either.
-
This season isn't the problem for me. We've had much worse. It's the sense that we've absolutely blown it with our summer spending and set ourselves back years.

He spoke up for the Palestinians. Makes him pretty much my favourite person in the PL anyway.
