Delusions of grandeur...

It doesn't matter how many times you tell him Steve, he will continue to ignore this fact, as will others that want to justify their childish, impatient reactions over the Summer...

You certainly were not, and it was something I regularly criticised through the first 2 months of the Summer. You notice as soon as the 'concerned' players got their way and left the Tweeting about unhappy players started to dry up. It was all a ruse to blame the board, and not the players.

Again, you say Blackmore is dispassionate, and that Fonte expressed unease, but Blackmore got his info from players that wanted to leave, and from Fonte, who wanted a new contract. It seems that you have been played as badly as he was in trying to make the board out to be the bad party.

Where did I come up with release clauses as a fact, I speculated that perhaps Chambers had one based on information that one of our players had a release clause linked to Cortese, no more, no less. Others certainly said it as fact I believe. For the most part the club was powerless, but that isn't even something that can be proven either way, as we don't know what would have happened had we forced them to stay. It's all conjecture on your part that I am wrong. If that is the worst you can come up with then I apologise. Your turn, schmuck.

Excellent post, you articulated that better than I ever could.

Call it what you want, we both know what's going on here. I have made mistakes. I was told the 2 players that we were looking at to finish it off were British although I did know the RB was on loan and we were paying for the winger. I apologise for that. In general though, if you look through, for the most part I was bang on. If you can point out my many mistakes then please go ahead and I'll apologise for it.

With the **** I have got this Summer, I have every right to be.

Then why do you follow me around? Put me on ignore and live blissfully.

A good post. However, one thing I have a problem with is that you belittle the fact that some of us were well aware of what has happening, and facetiously use the statement "Perhaps you are simply better than us all?". For some of us, this wasn't prescience and we tried to tell people to stay calm. But hey, I'm sure you'll find a way of discrediting anything us 'happies' have said over the summer.

I was going to create a separate thread for this, but will post it here: Now obviously there has been a little turmoil over the Summer with the manager and 5 important players leaving. This is unprecedented in the modern game, and certainly something that the new board (who had little football experience) would not have thought would await them when appointed in January/February. However, I believe Kat, Ralph and Les have done an outstanding job to guide the club to where it is now, post September One, and they should be congratulated for doing it. Now it is down to the Managers and Players to do us proud, to gel and push on from last season. I also believe that there should be a place for those football fans who insulted and consistently undermined the club and board over the Summer to bare their sins and apologise for the accusations levelled at them over the Summer. The worst part of it all was the sickening insults and accusations of a lack of integrity of Kat, who should feel proud of what the club have achieved this Summer from what looked like a bleak situation.

Adam was also the dissenting players mouthpiece throughout the Summer so find it hard to believe him.

Funny how the players that were saying all this tended to be the ones who wanted to move or were agitating for new contracts. As I said back then and have maintained throughout the Summer, the players stuffed the board over with lies and hyperbole so the fans would blame the board, not them.

Guys, you were an embarrassment. Some of us knew exactly what was going in, yet were branded as 'deluded'. At least we now know who's opinion is worth its salt.

Very disappointed with that... However, if he isn't going to get football this year he is still young, so get someone else to develop him with 1st team football. If he is amazing for them then we'll bring him back. See Courtois, Thibault.

Is this against myself or Turkish? Only taken off one thread, so wasn't much work, 3 maybe 4 minutes? Worth it for sure. I'll go find some to embarrass you tomorrow if you want?

What personal terms are there, it's a loan deal?

When we are above them in January I think he'll get that.

No idea, sounds like it though. So yes, yes he is. Saw it on F365.

Jim Proudfoot saying Spurs could still sign J-Rod.

I have to say, last season there were flaws in our team, but I have to say Glasgow was probably right, however facetious he was being when saying it. We underachieved under Pochettino.

If only people were a little more patient eh? I think Kat deserves a lot of apologies.

We'll have the option to buy Alderweireld as well I am sure.

I think it will take time for the team to properly 'click', but I don't think it will take too long to properly get going. If Koeman is a better manager than Poch I think we could have a team to challenge for 6th.

That sounds about right, weaker at LB and CB (potentially). Been impressed with Bertrand mind.
