Confirmed Signing Allan

[FTY]

Nothing cos we signed everybody on deadline day.

Out the box thinking.

Our loss is the graphic designers gain

And also Arsenal’s gain

Wonder what style of announcement vid we’ll go for this year?

2016 it was the full player in the player’s big blue face, 2017 it was zoom zoom round the building oh yeah there’s the player he’s smiling like a gimp and he’s crap, 2018 we got Jimmy the kit man to bring his drone in to work, and can’t remember what we did last year

Is he gonna have to do a zoom call with contract Dave?

Without going into any of the other parts because you're being a bit of a tit I'd like to just say that this doesn't matter and I hope people will stop saying it soon. You can sign good players you've never worked with (it is like 90% of transfers that work out, at least) and you can sign bad players who you have worked with (Alcaraz, Kone and Martina say hello).

I won't resort to insults like you mate.
However the 3 examples you give are down to Martinez. I don't think that anyone would compare Carlo to him.
It may interest you (and assist you to wind your neck in), that I manage a service that operates on a risk and threat basis everyday, and over serious stuff. One of the most important factors is how close the personal knowledge is to the information provided. If you need any further help re risk then I will happily assist you.

Madness this thread. Ancelotti has come in and worked with the squad. Identified what we need, thinks Allan fits the bill, he’s worked with him so knows what he can bring. Ancelotti knows the Prem and thinks Allan can do a job in this league. Allan is keen to work with Ancelotti again. He’s 29. Not exactly over the Hill in todays fitness / science/ diet terms.
fans are moaning and bleating. Madness

You know how you make a successful team? You buy better players than the ones you have. Then you buy better players than that.

you know why Liverpool got successful? Because they stopped doing what you are proposing and filling the squad with average and potential and starting spending money on exactly what they needed.

it took them 5 years but then they won the PL.

That’s how you do it. You go for your top targets. Try to add a couple a year instead of 5. If you don’t get zaha you wait and ignore iwobi and do without.

*that’s* what we need. Stability. better players. Evolution

Allan sorts the midfield for at least 3-4 seasons. Who knows where we’ll be then.

Liverpool didn't buy any 29 year olds for 30m did they?

 

[roy vernon]

I disagree.

Andy Gray and Peter Reid say hello

Martina is not a Martinez example.

A luxury in the PL which is why 99% of PL teams end up buying talent or you get Pogba/Sancho scenarios because it's the toughest league in the world we all can't be Bayern Munich 1 team league who can give young players game time and still batter teams 6-0, Managers don't want to risk youth too much unless it's crazy talent because you get sacked if you're in the bottom 3 by December.

No one has properly tried it. I mean everyone says it is a luxury but no one actually knows because they don't do it. I think the closest team was Spurs and it worked wonders for them. Leicester have adopted it since their title win too and it isn't going badly.

You're getting worse than Zat.

 

[TheBigIguana]

You're getting worse than Zat.

I'll let you decide that. We're different. He's thinking we should make up half the squad out of youth team players. I don't agree with that, but we are on the same page in that spending big on older players isn't where we should be in terms of the process of building a squad.

Aren't they trying to sign a 30 year old from Munich for 30m?

They didn’t go out and buy 5 players in a window either though.

And the following players are all the same age or older than allan.

vvd
Milner
Henderson
Matip
Wijnaldum

all have PL medals.

When we win the CL and PL in back to back seasons we can do that too.

You guys are trying to skip steps 4-35 in what the process should be, imo.

No , he was down to another idiot. Now answer the rest of the post please , and I will happily assist you re risk. You were insulting , and factually incorrect. Get a grip lad , and admit when you are wrong.
