Trouble is fans like you will call Levy "lacking ambition" if we buy on the cheap and then be critical when lauded big signings fail to live up to expectations.

Didnt see you saying NDombele and GLC wouldnt work when they walked through the door to great fanfare, but 2 years later you're a feckin after the event armchair expert

This better not be aimed at me......

Out of Ndombele and GLC I would rather sell Ndombele. I want to see GLC over a full season without injuries. That said I reckon both will be here next season.

Keep both and get rid of some of the others that are more deserving of being sold.

Would have rather given Eriksen a massive pay rise than sign either. Might be wrong but he was still on the 70K a week deal that he signed upon joining when he left..... Once again Levy being cheap thinking he could only pay Kane when Eriksen in his pomp was just as important

Our midfield has been non-existent in 90% of games this season. we have never placed that Dembele/Wanyama partnership that would dominate games..

Why we where never in for Doucoure or tried to sign a CDM like Ndidi i will never understand.

Not sure the words fanfare & GLC have ever been used in the same sentence. As for NDombele there are a lot smart pundits in french football who said he was talented but inconsistent and overrated......It’s been said he had attitude and fitness issues as a young player as he fell down the leagues in France....... I think we got exactly what we paid for

1. Eriksen wanted out. New challenge.
2. Did you not witness Eriksen's form in the last 18 months of his contract.
3. Have you seen Eriksen's form since leaving.

He went a the right time. Perhaps if we had signed Bruno Fernandes and not GLC this discussion would not be happening but we had gone big with NDombele and GLC was the cheaper (while still being expensive) option.

----------------------------------------------------------------------
Agreed someone like Ndidi would be a dream signing. Whilst I expect Sabizter to join I am still unsure if he is right fit for us. Skipp could be that CDM. He is not afraid to tackle but I am not sure if he physical enough for prem. Time will tell but he will defo be more effective than Winks.

Unpopular opinion but as the season has gone on the shortcomings of PEH have become more obvious.

His use of the ball is poor and mainly negative, taking momentum out of our possession.

He is great at reading the game but decent opposition read him and he lunges in too often and is passed around, leaving him chasing back with his unspectacular pace. He's made some costly mistakes. Whoever is alongside him needs the dynamism and agility to get around (like an Ndidi/Fred type) and offer some creativity and neither NDombele or GLC have fulfilled this, Winks is also too once paced and Sisokko.....

NDombele.... Club record signing and central midfielder for a side that sits 7th in Prem, still can’t win a big game when the pressure is on, has failed to achieve top 4 in 2 seasons and is on 200K a week... call me harsh but I hoped for a tad more

Anyone who thinks we should keep Winks & Dele Ali, needs their head testing...

What does Winks offer... absolutely nothing...

That’s 8 players that need to go...

Dele Ali has done nothing for at least 3 seasons... he was poor in the last season of Poch...

Aurier... useless... gives the ball away so often... plus free kicks 😡

Sanchez... quick... but another liability

Doherty... shocking... confidence completely gone...

Davies.... too slow... always passes backwards...

Winks.... rubbish... completely anonymous

Sissoko... once a good squad player... offers nothing now...

Bergwijn... confidence shot to pieces

Dele Ali.... a shadow of a once great player... looks disinterested

At least he was cheap...... Levy is more than happy

Aside from the numbers of ins and outs, which rarely happens, why are you keen to sell Jack Clarke? He was playing regularly and doing well at Stoke before his injury. Surely we'd just loan him again. It's not like anyone will give us near what we paid at this point.

Boubacary Soumare, is who we should be signing... an absolute beast.... the main reason why Lille were top of the league... one year left on his contract...

----------------------------------------------------------------------

I think we just need to get players out of the door for which there will be takers. Sell Clarke, with a first option buy back, uplift clause, get a few million through the door...or have a player out on loan contributing nothing to us. At this stage i'd bank the money and spend it on someone who will contribute to the here and now.

Yes rather him than Sabizter to be honest but he should be aiming to play for a CL club..

The defence needs a complete overall, but then so does the midfield. N`dombele and Lo Celso have not progressed at all, and are average at best, Winks and Sissoko are simply not good enough.

Other than perhaps Kane and Lloris in goal, there are problem areas all over the pitch.

Other than Pierre, Ndombele, Son, Kane, Lucas.

It would not bother me one bit if anyone else left that team. The squad is that bad and needs a total rebuild. Levy & Enic have set us back 5/6 years min.
----------------------------------------------------------------------

Didn`t Poch buy Sanchez, Aurier, Sessignon and N`dombele for the combined fee of £154 million. What a complete waste of money.
