Find it surprising we haven’t filled the attacking right back glaring hole we’ve had since it became clear Lamptey isn’t the same player. It’s the clearest issue we’ve had a for a while. Fati takes it from a 6 to a 7.
I’m not sure I’ve seen you say anything positive about a potential signing. I’d almost be more worried if you were excited to see him join at this stage
Yes. Unfortunately he hasn’t looked anywhere near that player since the big injury - even when fit - which hasn’t been for much time in between. He might be ok after this lay off but it’s a massive gamble we’d be naïve in taking IMO.
We really do. Lamptey is broken. Veltmen is more of a utility player than an out and out right back and Milner is 38. An attacking right back is a huge hole in our squad - particularly when you look at how our left side operate with Pervis.
Using auxiliary full backs isn’t helpful.
Not yet but I will do. Paid 1/3 of whatever I earnt when I was at home. Taught me a lot. Will aim to give everything they give me back at the appropriate time
Pretty normal for most sides to have a ‘cup’ keeper now. We’ve been doing it for years.
we’ll see - but Steele will be out of the side by the first friendly IMO. Steele has been a useful stop gap. Bart hasn’t come here from playing regular football to sit on our bench.
We’re not spending 20m for a keeper of the future. We already have that in someone like Rushworth (although he’s older than Bart). Can’t see any way that Bart won’t be first choice starting the season.
Moises might be the best player we ever have play for us. Potential to be a generational talent. Alexis is very, very good but he’s not the level Moises is. Losing them both in the same summer would be pretty catastrophic for us
What VVD cost a 5 ago is of little relevance. Market gone up substantially and also doesn’t have the ‘English’ tax attached.
yes sorry - It slips my mind a touch the PL season just because it was all behind closed doors. Poor excuse I admit!
I’d rate Colwill higher than White just as to me he...
There is no world he is 40m. More experience at a higher level and younger than Ben White - as well as being left footed and a better ball player. Chelsea also have no interest in selling.
