Harsh Realization

Mate, if you want to start believing the tabloids over transfer speculation because you think they are tapping phones etc, then you are in for a long and painful summer.

I don't, but it wouldn't surprise me, they're sleazy enough to do it
 
I dont think people quite grab the issue here. The club (Glazers) have to invest because the way the club is set up it HAS to win or compete at the top every season. Its floated on the NYSE and every time the club does bad it loses value and money. Glazers have no choice but to splash out.

That's not necessarily true. If the club drops in value the Glazer's don't really care unless they're planning on selling any time soon, which I don't think they are.
 
the harsh realization should be that when we go on and on and on about us going after a player with barely any evidence and dont get him it makes you, not the club, look like an idiot.

we didnt "fail" to get kroos, top clubs are constantly sounding out other players but we didnt have ANY evidence we actually went for him.

the thiago thing last summer has been my cue to stay off this site all summer. some people frankly turn into a bunch of pathetic losers during the transfer window and that thread was the epitome of it.
