Don’t get this. He’s not great but he’s better than Royal.
Just a circus this club.

Apparently it`s to do with a limit on the number of players we can have out on loan. We are at the limit and so have mutually terminated Poverty`s contract so he can join Athletico
we agreed to loan him but realised we had already hit the limit for number of players loaned out to foreign clubs
Free agent in the summer, no offers in this window, frees up wages, can't complain really, can we just announce Porro now please?

Ah ok, we do have a lot of players out on loan to be fair. We need to get shot of some deadwood
Chelsea have a player out on loan at every club in Europe. How have you reached the limit and they ain't??
Weirdly, it's Brighton with the most out on loan.

Not really a big deal as he's neither young nor good enough. I know Emerson isn't either but I'm guessing Conte prefers him over Doherty anyway.
Everyone knew his time was up and we weren't going to get much of a fee if anything anyway. What a weird spell he had at the club

He was crap anyway best to get rid of.

He had a purple patch last spring and did well during that run in for 4th. He was doing everything you could ask from a wing back then he got injured. Conte preferred Royal from there on. Weird.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
He, Dier, even Sanchez all finished last season well, and have since resorted to being rubbish again. They're just not players you can rely on to be good for long enough.

I agree so we really needed a CB. The Leverkusen kid would have been a bad move completely. I think we should have signed an experienced one this window. Again the club haven’t considered this. Complete fack up as per.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
I never thought we'd get a lot done this window but after missing out on Conte's CB targets last summer, we should have really targeted that area. That's why this is not a particularly great window.
Big shopping list in the summer but I reckon we won't get it all done. This club is constantly playing catch up to the things we need to do.
Bought all these players and can’t sell any. Only loans or contract termination 🤦🏾♂️. Aurier, alli, doherty all contract terminated wtf. Ndombele, locelso cant sell.
Absolutely shocking transfer business. Add Gil/Lamela into the mix too.
Thats about 200m of talent we’ve got nothing for (at one point alli alone was prob worth 80m)
Doherty in summer be like https://images.app.goo.gl/AgGCbxv2QkikzAZr7
Strange one, surely we would get something for him

That's shrewd businessman Levy waiting until they're totally worthless rather than selling them at a loss when it's clear it's not gonna work out.
To be fair, most of the other leagues are strapped for cash. But still it's embarrassing it's taken us this long to buy a decent RB
Have a listen to the A View From The Lane podcast. One of the journos from The Athletic said that there were loads of times where Pochettino wanted to sell Alli, Dier, Toby etc in their prime to then reinvest the cash in the squad. It was Levy that decided against it and let those same players stagnate and their value decreased. It’s quite shocking really and it just does to show that the staleness that set in during his final year could have been avoided if we’d reinvested the funds to freshen things up. In short, it was Levy’s fault, not Poch’s. He made a good point that we’re neither a selling club nor a financial monster. We sit somewhere inbetween so we don’t really know what we should be. Most of what’s happening right now in terms of players contracts being terminated with an inability to shift those out on loan is the fault of one man, and one man only.
It’s certainly one in the eye for all those Poch boo boys.
It certainly is. If the Athletic journo actually knows that and isn't just spouting rumours or his opinion. The problem with them podcasts (fan/casual journo led) is they tend to get stuck on repeating narratives. It's like when people repeat what Ali Gold says as fact when it's just his opinion or what's been leaked to him deliberately by the club.
But that said, it's not hard to imagine that's true in part at least. Poch was quite clear in his painful rebuild comment he wanted to do that at some point at least.. though Sanchez, Lo Celso, Ndombele was quite the painful rebuild..

I think it was Jack Pitt Brooke so no lazy journalism going on. He’s very good and he’s never once had an agenda or showed his hand regarding support for Poch. He just listed the facts as he knew them.
That said, I’m sure had we sold Alli and Toby in their prime, we’d have all been furious and blamed Levy anyway. This, at least, does prove that he’s not so completely in love with profit. He kept hold of very, very lucrative assets.
Us and Liverpool hit a crossroads about 5 years back. They sold Coutinho and reinvested well. We sat on what we had. Neither method was wrong as Liverpool could have just as easily wasted that 150m but they didn’t. It’s all about good recruitment at the end of the day and we’ve been woeful at it for quite some time now.
