Well spurs were like your standard sort of dog poo. We were like the result of when a puppy eats another dogs shit and then spews it up on the pavement. And then shits itself. *Incidentally which of the 2 games vs Bayern did you watch?

I watched the Spurs Bayern game and they were dogshit. However they did score and it was Bayern. So.. Erm.

So it's not unwinnable. Or isn't it not unwinnable?

Stinks of what? Amortisation still only spreads over 5 years regardless of the contract being longer.

On the pretense that I think we are going to be getting a couple of signings over the line but it being too early to play them, I'm going to have a massively optimistic grin on throughout. Not because I think we'll win, but I'll be able to dream about how big a change we're going to see.

I think he probably just needed google translate for your lingo.

Ok, so are either of Brentford or Fulham in for him? No. So a pointless comparison.

ZAHA FOR LEFTBACK!

Oh. Shame that.

What does that even mean?

A second striker is fine if Cooper wants his wide players to attack the box and get into scoring positions from wide. Only thing is he hasn't had them playing that way in pre-season.

Because it's a very similar situation to the one Kramaric was in. Young, promising striker signs for a team who then go on to massively outperform reasonable expectations which offers very little opportunity for said player to get into the team through no fault of their own. Player and club decide it's better to shake hands and part ways. Nice if it pans out similarly too.

Absolutely.

I think we've already got the toilet cleaners sorted for the season.

Too much money. Move on. You can get a Hlozek, Nanasi and Keita for that!

Ighalos 6 month loan to Solskjaers Man Utd side cost £10.8mill... This is a bargain! West Ham are paying £4.2mill for the loan of Todibo, + wages.

It's generally pretty inevitable that that will happen with someone we sign. Could be Zaha, could be Hlozek, could be Okoli (though that seems to be happening in less than 6 weeks rather than months)...

I think Morgan and Huth would run them pretty close. HA! RUN!.... Pretty close....

I really hope Cooper has just been fxxking about to an extent in preseason otherwise you can sign all the players you want, they'll be shit. I'm proper getting into the spirit!

Bolasie used to be the left winger in the main when he was at Palace, and later you had Sako and Puncheon in there. Zaha predominantly played the right until the latter two proved to be shite.

What? You'd rather pay more so they take Bouba?

If it were this guy or Hlozek, who'd we rather?

That's not particularly been demonstrated though. He scored 9 goals in 30 games from the wing. He's scored or assisted in very nearly all his starts. But he did drop out of favour and out of the starting 11, which seems odd as he was putting the numbers up when he was starting. If you look at his record it's actually very good. I suspect that he's had a falling out with the manager or something along those lines or had a strop about being benched, as he's done very little off the bench, scoring once from 17 sub apps.

With the way Cooper has been utilisiing players I'd expect if he were to take this advice, it'd mean he's starting Winks at CB...

If he has a good loan to a champ side you'd easily recoup the fee paid for him if we wanted rid. Its largely upside. Unless he's absolute doggo.
