What bothers me about Bentancur is that ppl were talking about him stepping up & playing like a leader recently & last night he was nothing. No belief, no fight, no effort. Need £150m spent on midfield asap. Throw the lot at Barella

Cant & wont dispute any of what you’ve said.

Bissouma & Bentancur need to move on. Both were bought for Conte & Ange has had to make do with them. Bissouma is just embarrassing & so disappointing. I’ve wanted him to succeed so much but he’s just terrible. Bentancur? He’s not a 6. Never going to be.

He abandoned his ethics in a semi final. Don’t want him sacked because there’d be nothing gained but you can’t defend that or argue a case for him anymore.

It’s the only realistic way we are going to get any business done & protect our best players but ok.

Reguilon has been given game time. Game time that may have exacerbated our problems if given to our stronger players. The younger players being played through this is monumentally stupid. Not cause they’re not good enough but because of the effect it could have on them being booed by their own fans

You know that the loan deals include a recall clause? That we haven’t received a loan fee at all? Devine is developing & so is Dorrington. It is better for the club they stay where they are.

I’m not saying Ange is right for refusing anyone. At all. Poch did that & he was wrong af.

Reguilon has absolutely nothing invested in the club & wants to leave. Solomon Dorrington & Devine play for other clubs.
Are you ok?

What club? Literally any club in Europe has players we could loan. All we need is players capable of doing an average job. We aren’t chasing 4th or a title. Just come in & do a passable job while Son/Gray/Deki is rested or on the bench. It is very simple.

Werner was a complete one off?

There are no other average players available for loan? Cos average is all we need. Players who can allow our senior players to rest for a game here or there. That’s it. If you think that’s not doable then you’re just plain wrong. Sorry.

Sorry… what has that got to do with anything I’ve said? Is it a joke?

You don’t have to buy them. Loan in any semi competent player just to alleviate the strain on the senior players. Simple.

No club can ever afford to just sign no one. Ever. History is on my side.

No I’m talking about going 18 months without signing a single player. Literally any professional footballer would have done. We are only now realising the effects of that. It has had a shocking effect on our squad. You cannot allow a squad in need go stale & tired.

No one rushing in to waste money at all but there is a lesson from very recent history that says that any partially competent players coming in is better than none at all.

I don’t understand…

We needed this window for two reasons; 1. The squad is shite 2. We have an injury crisis. The main reason being the injuries. So the time to judge it has passed us by. It has been a failure. We can’t afford to take a month off out of the season & that’s exactly what we’ve done

The time to judge the window, given our injury problems are the reason to need this window, is literally any time after January 4th. The lack of movement is intentional

Oh behave Son has barely missed a penalty. His form isn’t great but Solanke is quite clearly low on confidence too. Nonsense argument.

Well that has just saved my day. Very happy for you! Have a good one 👍🏻
