Wow! That's incredible, completely in a class of his own. He already has better technique than Sanchez, and frankly all out other CBs except maybe Romero.

The modern football fan is incredibly entitled.
This isn’t McDonald’s… you don’t go in and just order the two centrebacks you want most. That’s not the reality and to pretend it is, is not being the tough « high standards » guy you think it is. You’re just divorced from reality.
Let’s leave it there.
For FFS many clubs but multiple players in a window. You just have very low standards, it’s fucking weird and quite frankly most of the forum think you are a bit odd.
No need to make it personal. I don’t know you - I don’t need props on an internet forum.
It would help the discussion if you read and responded to what was written. Strawmen about buying multiple players in a window are a waste of everyone’s time. You’re better than that.
Perhaps I made it a bit too personal and for that I apologise. I still think you have an attitude of very low expectations.
I think we need two centrebacks this window. That was never my point. My point was that saying a real team would go out and buy these two specific players (again, players 99% of us have never watched) is symptomatic of the fickle, entitled fanbase clubs have. It’s stupid.
You should be a pundit.
We have fucked CB for too long, we need two decent CB’s whether that costs 20m or 70m that should not be beyond us. If we want to go cheap then we need to spend more on our scouting to do better targeting but I have a very short fuse regarding the post Poch rebuild. The club has fucked up enough, either scout clever or pay good money but don’t do neither.
As for those two specific players if they are the ones we should go for them but I am not going to base a decision from YouTube videos. We have scouts and they should decide within reason, long as we hit our internal targets whatever the cost I will not complain.
I have no idea how mature you are, but you certainly have a very developed inferiority complex.
What we all want is for the club to improve the squad to make us more competitive on the pitch. I think there’s widespread agreement we need to sell a lot of players as well as buy and that we want to buy players that will allow us to play more attractive football.
There are lots of ways to do this.
Also, the club might do this differently to your precise vision and still have done a reasonable job.
Personally I think we need to look at a few HG players and so somewhere we need to be buying them. Maddison and someone like Tosin might make sense. Equally it might be a HG winger… although beyond Barnes and Bowen I don’t know who that might be.
Squad building is complex and about balance and opportunity. There’s theory and there’s reality. Unfortunately fans often focus heavily on the theory and their view of reality is based mostly on supposition and rumour. That’s no good to the club IRL.
demanding we act like a « big club » and get deals done for top talent on an internet forum isn’t having a superior attitude.
It’s divorced from reality and likely to lead to frustration and disappointment. Happy to be proven wrong.
If Solomon really is available for free, he would be a very astute signing.
Despite his knee injury and only managing 500 minutes, still scored 5 goals and was in the:
94th percentile for successful dribbles per 90,
99th percentile for tackles and
99th percentile for % of dribblers tackled (both handy for a high press).
As I keep pointing out, Levy advocacy is always 100% grounded in an aesthetic disgust with the fan culture surrounding the transfer market.
Horses for courses you'd hope. I don't think there's too much wrong with the formation for the majority of matches, but I wouldn't expect to see it in all of them.
A solid, mobile CB pairing would go a long way to making that formation a formidable one.
Who has advocated for levy in this discussion?
This forum is wild at times.
Nice
I like the variation of McDonald's , usually it's just a cornershop
We've got a creative one here
