Enjoy your life while you can. Action required for even mitigation would be so drastic, and there is absolutely no appetite for this unfortunately. So there is no point stressing about what is inevitable
there’s things he’s very good at, and things he’s really not good at. that’s the reason why he’s never going to be in that ‘world class’ bracket. great aerially and very strong, he covers all the bread and butter defending well. but you obviously need a lot more than that if you want to be a top...
don’t usually buy into the ‘english players are vastly overrated compared to their foreign counterparts just because they’re english’ idea but i think in this scenario that is absolutely the case.
all that being said, i do think he would thrive in a low-block team, like everton. never going to...
yes. absolutely. 110%. sorry, i just don’t see it with lamptey. lost a lot of best asset, his pace, since that catastrophic hamstring injury, and he’s not a particularly good defender or crosser. i think offiah needs a loan. needs to get some game time under his belt. and without those two we...
as much a no one really wants a loan it could still work in our favour. might be the case that the player the club have as the true successor for that LCB spot is a year too young right now, or not proven at a decent enough level. colwill would make sense as a world-class quality stop-gap in...
not happening. don’t think people realise how incredible this would be if we pulled it off. guler is one of those rare youngsters who doesn’t need to come to a club like us from the off. he’s already good enough to go straight to your barcelonas or bayerns and make a material impact
which is what we need a little bit, i think. we’ve got loads of ‘steady eddies’ who give us 7/10 each week. that’s the spine of the team right there. what players like kudus give us is the ability to offer that bit of something extra when we need to break a delicately poised game, which is what...
One of our top targets according to Romano
would be very expensive, likely €40/50 million, but he was Ghana's most interesting player at the world cup and has good goalscoring stats for ajax, offers us cover on the right, he can also play attacking midfield and as a false 9.
makes keeping the row behind them all the more important. so, so critical that we always have players who have previously experienced mass change with us, they’ll be a much needed grounding presence when the vultures inevitably come circling again
feel like there will be more than enough games to go around next season. and i doubt we’d be buying him for that figure, especially when historically we haven’t spent much on goalkeepers, if there wasn’t an indication that he would be our starting keeper pretty soon
especially as that second year will mean he’ll definitely have broken the premier league record for appearances with us, if he doesn’t this season. nice to be a part of something historic like that
