This is something I don't get. Unless those three are breaking the rules (we know City are) then why can't we compete?   We're one of the richest clubs in the world and FSG are not taking money out to line their own pockets. All the money that comes in goes out again on wages and signings, but considering how much money we make it's mad that we always seem to have fuck all money to spend.   I understand the current situation as by the end of it we'll be down about £200m from Covid and you can't just absorb a loss like that and carry on as normal. But even before Covid we weren't in the same market as Europe's biggest hitters.   I'm not pointing fingers, I just don't think it makes sense really.

Who?

Just leave Keita out of the squad. He's rarely in it anyway. Problem solved.

Not so long ago there wasn't a forward in the world I'd have taken over Bobby.   I remember writing that although Kane is a better number nine than Bobby, he wouldn't be a better number nine for us. No-one would be. At that time Bobby was perfect for what we did.   Now, I hate to say it but there's loads I'd take over Bobby, and the irony is that Kane has now developed his game to a point where if I was creating the perfect number nine for this team it would actually be him (minus the hair, the chin and the drool).   Kane would score forty a season in this team and he'd probably create twenty for Salah and Mané. He's now the perfect all around centre forward. He can drop off and play through balls, he's clever on the counter attack, he can score from outside the box and he's a poacher as well. He'd also solve the problem of us never getting penalties and free-kicks.   Honestly, he's wasted at Spurs because he's genuinely world class and could play in any team on the planet.   And I hate saying that because he's such a cunt.

You’d also assume with his relatively low buyout he’d be attainable but he’ll have better (more lucrative) options.   id love us to sign a player with more presence in the box as alternative option and a midfielder who can be a real threat from outside the box. It would give us options and a way to break teams down who sit deep.
