True I was purely referencing big money players.

sounds like Kudos doesn't really fancy us!
Not going to mock at all, but RDZ said post friendly that if Moises goes, we will get someone else in to replace him. Moises hasn't gone and Kudus is nearly here, so I don't think it's him.Okay, I'm going to get roundly mocked for what I'm about to say, and I'll probably deserve it. But I'm gonna say it anyway, just on the off chance I'm right and then I can say "I told you so" at some point in the future.
So, I totally understand the sentiment behind the feeling that Kudus can't replace Caicedo because he's an AM rather than a DM. That was my thinking too.
But I've watched and re-watched the highlight reel that someone posted a couple of pages back, and something struck me. Once he's in possession of the ball, it seems to be very hard to get it off him. Remind you of anyone? And then, I noticed that in a lot of the clips in the highlight reel, he's actually getting the ball from relatively deep positions and bringing it forward. He does so with powerful running rather than the pinpoint passing of Caicedo, but with a net effect that's very similar: defence turns into attack in the blink of an eye.
So, what I'm getting at is this: Is it really not possible that Starlizard's data on Kudus shows that he might be a better DM than any of us think - at least, with the style of football we play? Taken as a unit, would Kudus + 1 other from Gilmour, Alzate, Milner, etc. offer us something broadly similar to what we were getting from Caicedo + Mac?
Absolutely not! I can't recall where I saw/heard/read it, but they amalgamate the stats from every single reported-upon football game around the world, so the player/team stats are constantly evolving and updated.The starlizardsupacomputa won't be a static thing. Our analysts will have worked out the key datasets for a player playing under RDZ. I suspect Kudus was flagged up very early and RDZ, who we now know trusts the system, has gone 'holy moly yes please '.

Pretty good shout....If the player has been stalling for that long I’m not sure I’d want him.
Prefer a bigger budget on a Caicedo replacement if needed.
As Roberto said yesterday, I have a lot of attacking players.
Maybe we already think this one is dead in the water and it’s only been given airtime by Ajax making the deal public, so they can advertise the fee, in hope that another club will match the fee and offer bigger wages.
We don’t want to a big time Charlie in who thinks he’s above everyone. I think back to Mickey Thomas for those that are old enough to remember.
We wanted kudus pre Ajax (just like bassey!). You can't blame those 2 players for joining Ajax over us , before we were top tier.The starlizardsupacomputa won't be a static thing.

No, no blame here at all. Also totally get why he might be hesitant to join us now.We wanted kudus pre Ajax (just like bassey!). You can't blame those 2 players for joining Ajax over us , before we were top tier.
Oh yes, the NSC Scoutomatic2000® is in need of a reboot:Hmnnn, not sure. I think the super comp is still coming up with Kanchelskis, Owen and Callamari
