Finishing 4th was a miracle in the first place man. Have you seen the spending of the clubs around us this summer?

 

 

 

It's such a simple concept. It's getting painful having to point this stuff out. We are ahead of ourselves.

Not to mention we aren't in a position to spend our way to the top like our rivals.

Fair but he's not the player people think he is. Miggy was better than him last season.

 

We'll see, Spurs were a mess last season almost all of them want backwards under Conte and that boring Italian they replaced him with for 4 games. I don't think Miggy is any great shakes, had a spectacular purple patch where anything he hit flew in and he definitely works non-stop but ability wise I think Kulusevski is better.

I don't think beyond their first team, they have a strong squad at all (Man Utd), I don't think their signings improve them much at all.

 

As for Spurs.... [emoji38]

 

Kane is an exceptional player, of course but I don't rate many of their squad at all. Son isn't the player he was. Bentancur is a good player. I wouldn't swap any of our defenders or midfielders for theirs. I'd rather have Villa's squad than Spurs.

Son had a bad season, but you really cannot say if he is done. He scored as many as Isak last season still. I think they and Liverpool will score a lot next season, but also ship in too many. 

Spurs will get 1-2 centrebacks. Seems like they are getting Van de Ven.

I don't necessarily disagree with you but it's not clear cut and that confirms my point about Spurs.

It isn’t about people never being happy, it is about people wanting to see the club build on this success and push forward by strengthening those positions where they believe we are at our weakest.

 

If you don’t do that and everyone around you does then the likely hood is you fall away.

 

We can’t rest on our laurels if we want to be considered a threat to the establishment clubs.

We're not resting on our laurels though, it's a moot point.

I just think the club aims to be at the top in 4-5 years time. This success came a bit too soon, and we will have a "disappointing" season. Most likely 6-8. We just cannot financially compete with the top 6 in a while. 

People have to realize it takes time to build a strong squad and rebuild the whole club from the academy up.

ManU has a lot stronger squad than we have. And they have made good signings. Spurs still has strong squad, but many of those players don't fit Ange's style and Kane is on the way out. If he leaves we are pretty much on par with them.

I had a dream we just played them, scored 5 goals in 21 minutes then trundled to a 6-1 win. 

Shame I woke up.

And this proves something? 

I had a dream were Villa trounced us 3-0. 

That was a nightmare that, tho ?

 

Totally agree with this btw....

I bet you the club isn’t resting on its laurels, that’s madness. The club is building and trying to do as much as it can under the stupid restrictions FFP bring. It’s going to be a process that will take time, but people’s impatience are a fucking nightmare to be honest. I want this now now or it’s an abject failure.

 

Folks just need to relax and enjoy the ride. We are way ahead of ourselves. If we do finish 6th I certainly won’t be looking at that as anything bad or a step back, that’s just fucking ridiculous way to look at it.

 

It hasn’t been the lack of signings that has been frustrating this summer, it’s been people’s stupid impatient expectations that have made this place a beacon of abject misery.

 

Just enjoy where we are and what we are doing.

All I read there is; "If we don't sign the players I want, I won't be happy."

 

We HAVE improved.

 

We ARE improving.

 

We are MILES ahead of where anyone with half a brain thought we would be. 

 

We don't have a perfect 11 or squad is what you are basically saying, which is absurd.

I've seen people mentioning that we could do with more creativity in midfield. 

 

How do they think pushing Bruno further up like he was initially playing, when Shelvey was sat deeper impacts that?

 

I ask because I think we really need a more athletic defensive minded holding midfielder. I don't like how open our midfield looks in transition at times with Bruno sitting deep.

 

I was following the Arsenal Vs Monaco game yesterday and Fofana the DM for Monaco looked great. He's a physical, athletic DM but his passing was quality too. 

 

Think he's now in the last year of his contract as well. Can't believe no one has gone for him.

West Ham are, apparently.

 

He's been linked with them and even was linked with us too at some point, but no one appears to be close to pulling the trigger.

Nothing to do with the thread, but I have just spent a good three minutes just hypnotized by that policeman on a slide GIF profile picture :D 

 

Thanks @MrRaspberryJam

[emoji38] Semtex made the original, then I found EzGIF.com which then reversed it. I think it's one of the funniest videos I've ever seen.
