You need to get over the small club mentality. Really you do.

Probably do but until we actually win something I doubt I will. We are still a small club on the world stage, Benfica are a giant of the game

I don't think the Albion have gone toe to toe with Benfica.
Judging by how this has played out in Portugal, Mr Tony has absolutely screwed them over and may well only be letting go now after they've emptied out the piggy bank and cleaned out the sofa.
All for a player rumoured to not even want to come here!
Not the fairest of fights.

Disagree. The present makes no sense without the past. We need to aspire as Tony Bloom does, but still not forget where we come from. It is human to remember difficult times and feel a little bit of displacement when the present is significantly different.

I disagree! Keeping ourselves as a smaller outfit overachieving in the league (with premier league bucks behind us mind) and enjoying every minute, is better than raising expectations and always wanting more.
Do you think Leeds are happy right now, even though they’ve got promoted after 16 years? F*** no! They want top 6! Europe! Big players! More! More! More! And when they don’t do any of that, half of them are gonna throw themselves from the roof tops. It’s going to be one hell of a fireworks display, I can’t wait.
Just enjoy every moment as it comes. Don’t expect to be a big club. We won’t enjoy it as much.

The full 'article' from the Portuguese TV station, courtesy of Mr Google:
Benfica will have everything aligned with Almería to sign striker Darwin Núñez. On the table should be a proposal of 24 million euros and a pass from a Benfica player.
Initially, the heads of the Spanish club wanted the young Diogo Gonçalves, however, Jorge Jesus is not willing to abdicate the player.
The player must sign a five-year contract and it is very difficult for him to escape from the reds.
that last bit in bold....
#freedarwinnunez may have just become a matter of urgency

Maybe we’re after one of their forwards, that they may well need to sell to fund Nunez [emoji23]

I did think just how cross I'd be if the club showed off it's new striker tomorrow morning!
I agree largely it’s good to have humility. But there is a middle ground though. We’re in the best league in the world.

It's tough to stay humble about being an Albion fan when the club are simultaneously offering and turning down £25,000,000 for players.
While having nearly as many £15,000,000 failures as it has centre backs
I don't expect anything, but I dare to dream. And it is unusual to aim for something and get better, so it's best to aim high and accept the outcome for what it is.
After all, if it had been your dream, 40 years ago, to get off with Joan Collins
love, it wouldn't have been the best plan to chat up her sister Jackie and hope for a better outcome

Do you not think Jackie would have been more rampant. I mean Joan was acting, whereas Jackie wrote about it [emoji23][emoji6]

We can basically blow them out the water financially if we so desire. Based on history you are correct of course, but...

History is important, yes, but there are far too many on here who still visualise us as at our Withdean level. Tony has a public goal to make us Prem top 10. That is not a goal dreamt up by a Withdean warrior. Sorry.

I expect us to compete with Benfica. Not be surprised by it. You should wake up and do the same.
