So using playing in the prem as the measure both not really any better than Gordon. That is why you are seeing huge bids coming in and not being taken seriously.

I don't know why you're only using the Prem, though?

United didn't buy Sancho because of what he'd done in the Prem? Liverpool didn't buy Salah because of it, or City De Bruyne?

Do you think, had Gordon broke into the Dortmund team when Sancho did (and my apologies, he's 11 months younger than Sancho), he'd have gone on to score as many goals as Sancho? He might have scored a lot more than he would in the PL at the same age but not sure he'd have been as effective.

I'm not saying he's not a talent, but I'm not sure he'll ever be 'worth' £60m based on his quality. That might change but I think we're getting a very good deal.
 
Boring me now this. Get him gone, he clearly wants to go so get him gone and let’s finally get some players in. Still fuming we missed out on Cornet more than Dennis, and Joan Pedro more than any of them but we move on.

I hope our scouts seriously have some players lined up as there is only a week left. We are getting desperate.

I'd like to put that claim to the test. I appreciate that Kenwright during his tenure has failed to uphold it, but you have to set your own bar high. I wonder what a supporters poll would say? Remove NSNO from the club's livery, or keep it for sentimental reasons?

It's just a slogan that means nothing, the same as any other football club who has one.

In an ideal world it would mean something but it doesn't, it is just a branding tool. It has not been upheld during our whole existence, if it was we would have won the league every season! I like it as a brand don't get me wrong, but it is mad to use it as some kind of standard to attain as we never have done.

100% this.

We should already have a shortlist sorted and ready to go, we’ve had 8 weeks to look for a Richarlison replacement. If we’re now just starting to look for attackers then sack Thelwell and every single member of the recruitment team immediately.

Another thing is we only hear about bids going in when they make the news, but they would of known for weeks about Chelsea’s interest and would of had the necessary time to line up targets and prices etc at least that would be what a competent club would do anyway.

With the greatest respect, it seems to me that you just do not understand the situation, thus your confusion at what is happening. Let us leave it at that.
 
McNeil is not a #7 is slow and garbage. 0 goals last season You say he’s not richarlison’s replacement why did he take the #7 shirt. The guy is more useless than niasse. If Gordon leaves were in for a long season. Kevin is incompetent and can’t make good signings

Yeah that's fine, £60m is paying for potential. But it'd make Gordon the 9th most expensive player aged 21 or under in history, and the 2nd most expensive player, behind Laporte, not to have being capped by his country at the time (and that was only because for some strange reason Deschamps never rated Laporte).

Yes - the thing is history isn’t always a guide to the future

We were in a similar position to Spurs not long ago - don’t want to be cast adrift. Moshiri needs to make sure of that and step aside if he’s not the owner to deliver it
