I absolutely despise that bald little bastard.
🚨🎙️Harry Redknapp reveals Eden Hazard wanted to join #THFC but Daniel Levy was unwilling to pay the £18M asking price:
"Well, I met Eden Hazard. Joe Cole rang me. He was at Lille, and he said, 'I'm playing with the best player I've ever played with.' I went over and watched him, went back again the week after, and met him in a hotel room with his agent, and he wanted to come. But at the time, Daniel didn't want to spend the money on him. I think it was about £18 million."
No words can describe how bad this is. Generating less xG across 8 games than Hull. We need 1-2 new attackers in Jan.
Clubs like Brighton, Brentford, Lille and Como consistently identify quality players in the £10m to £50m market. For him to openly admit that finding good players for £80m is difficult tells you everything about how inept he is at recruitment.
🚨🎙️ Johan Lange on #THFC’s summer spending; 💰
“After all, these are the same amounts that competitors pay. All clubs’ scouting networks are so good these days that finding a player that others have overlooked, in a league that no one has heard of, for a tenth of the price – that race is over. ❌
It certainly raises expectations (the money spent), but it’s not because I think about it every day. I think all clubs think it’s hard to find good players. ✍️
For people who aren’t into football, it might sound completely insane that there aren’t a lot of players to choose from when you have £80m. But how many players have the quality to justify such an investment?
For every player you buy, you might have three or five clubs you talk to. If we need a right winger, we might be talking about five different players, five clubs, five agents. That’s a lot of balls to keep in the air at the same time.” 🤷♂️

He was literally named our best passer for years. He worked so well with Son because he had a terrific passing range. Winds me up people like this just talk waffle and poeple belive them. He's been passing like this for a decade.
We need a lot in January, but no doubt we'll only get 1-2 in January then get the rest in the summer. What is your priority for January and who would you sign?
