Yeah. I work in 1000-word increments. It's reporting, one way or another.
But I've done my fair share of scribbling. And copy editing. More than that, I work around talented people who work very hard to create compelling original content, whether in written or video form. I get irked watching people self aggrandize by pilfering or plagiarizing others' original works.
I despise lazy journalism.

When last did you see "journalism" in football? regardless of if it's online crap -> sun/mirror -> guardian/athletic/whoever
There are real stories in football, the poisoning of the league by City/Chelsea, the story of the resurgence of Tottenham (from Jol - Poch is a crazy story when you include the structural changes), the ongoing failure of Saudi Sportswashing Machine, the demise of Arsenal, lots of real content for a well thought out story or set of pieces.
But instead you get narrative/click bait brick about what Pep has brought to the league, how Kane must leave Tottenham to fulfil his career, and transfer window made up sensationalism ..

Where are the journalist of the calibre of Hugh McIllvanney, Frank Keating, Patrick Barclay, Patrick Collins and Ian Woolridge, men who loved sport and had knowledge and skill to write about it in an interesting way.

Vertonghen and Alderweireld were both in the kind of price range that would have you classify them as mediocre. Our most expensive CB signing ever was Sanchez and he may be on his way out, if so after a rather underwhelming time here overall.
Personally I would prefer pushing the boat out on one standout CB signing. But there comes a point where if you keep pushing that boat you'll end up neck deep in water and with no floating boat.
Disregarding that the metaphor makes no sense I think it makes sense to trust Paratici to make good decisions on how to get the most quality on the pitch for our money.

We had reams of Pep's finally done it, just before he went and lost the CL final!

The athletic generally produce less volume but higher quality due to their funding model

We've mad a final bid of 55m euro's for Romero
Hopefully enough to get it over the line.
If he signs before week’s end, when do we think he’d report for training? Monday would be three weeks after Copa America final and two weeks to get in shape before City.

Ha ha ha......its gone to hell in a hand cart....across the board. Massive empathy for the talented guys. Drowned out by the sh*t.
That was rumoured to what they were looking for so fingers crossed....

I know Nikola Milenkovic is seen as inferior to Romero, but I hope we get them both in. Romero at 50m is a big expense. Less risk than Sanchez I guess? Milenkovic only has a year left on his contract, and I think could be a bit of a gem, given some time. Maybe Romero is more developed and ready. Hard to saying having not watched them play full games. Here's hoping we can shift Sanchez and tie up both!

I wouldn’t be surprised now if we got both

Maybe the club/ Paratici are thinking we need one of these two, and one experienced CB. That would make sense as both are pretty young for a CB. Milenkovic would save circa £40m which is a tidy sum.

Could be the other guy wanting to wait for a better time for them. Would be interesting to know why we changed our PR guy recently if there is indeed a sponsor.

Depends what our net spend level is.
We are capable of spending plenty as long as the Sanchez Dier Aurier Sissoko (at a minimum) all go.
We're probably at zero at the moment (Foyth/Toby for Bryan/Gollinu). I doubt we can push beyond £50/60m net.

Good signing for Palace

Good business
Their buying young for once
It is, but its also a good sign that we passed on him as it shows we are confident about landing better.
2.5 weeks til the City game....could really do with getting Romero signed soon!! That said, I guess he'll still only have a week or so training after the Copa America though...
