Yeah I'm baffled at that assessment, Kulu literally lives off cutting inside and finding an incisive pass into space with his strong left foot, asking him to beat a man and find a pass or cross out on the touchline is seriously not in his repertoire. He could maybe play the 10 role given time but I actually think hes somewhat wasted there, he's not really a goalscorer and you want a 10 to be chipping in with 15 a season at least. There's time for him to add goals to his game but right now he's gotta be playing off the right finding the right man in space with his great long passing. If we can get Kulusevski back to his early form people will be buzzing off him again. I don't think he's been "found out" just had a shit time with injury and tactics being gash.

to ever post on this forum And that's up against some stiff competition
If we could get Tapsoba and Van D Ven but not Maddison. I take that in a heartbeat. Then take a punt on Scott and a fast direct winger.

He hasn't actually posted since he told another poster that nobody would care if he killed himself, thank god.
Just sort of lurks and sends disagrees. Weird bloke.
Modern Wanker football fans. No patience and just want to be negative.
Would much rather use that 35m to bring in an additional CB (Tapsoba in addition to Van de Ven) and sign Soloman on a free rather than sign Sancho or Barnes.
Defensive deficiencies aside, why can't Porro play as an inverted RB?
In Ange's system, doesn't the RB sit in a midfield 3 behind the 5 attacking players? From that position, he's be in a prime position to pick out a cross, overlap with a one of the 8s or even have a long shot. He's capable of all three of these things.
This is an actual question. Seems like Porro operating from the MF like TAA did late last season would suit him quite well.
He’s spent money. But he’s mostly bought shite. Still lands on his shoulders because he employs the people that waste million on pap. Even when we get it right we hold onto players for too long And he would rather keep shite beyond its sell by date than cut losses and move on.
That is small time and an unwillingness to accept mistakes.
I think for a while he was visibly a bit of a twat.... Posing with cars and getting too caught up in image; in danger of disappearing down the footballing plug-hole a bit like Dele, Lingard and few other English lads of this generation.
However somewhere around 2 years ago he started to come across as a lot more mature in his interviews...... Perhaps getting exiled by Southgate after getting busted in that Casino woke him up a bit... If not that then fatherhood (2021 and birth of second child expected Jul 2023).

He seems quite poor on the ball outside of his passing. Gives the ball away under pressure. We also have better options than converting him to CM. As a DM Skipp is far far superior, as B2B Bissouma and Benta are better, and Maddison (if we get him) would be far better as a creative/goal scoring CM.
I'm convinced that's down to Conte... He wasn't at all shot-shy when he first arrived.. That curler on his left from inside the box was a bit of a trademark on his highlight real and remained so during his original 6 month hot-streak here.
Sonny also spoke of himself not shooting as much and trying to bring that back to his game after Conte left.
I don't think he plays that, he played McGregor as a 6 at Celtic.
Bissouma is made for the 6, Bentancur the 8. That leaves Maddison as a 10. It can work, but we might get run over.
IMO we ain't seeing Bentancur until January. It'll take a month for him to be match fit so February, which means in the meantime we need probably play Sarr there.
Or rotate Skipp into the 6 and Bissouma to 8.

its not like its a hugggggggge investment, 80 mill for 2 cb's that could be here for 10 yrs more then pays it back
what we cannot do is fuck around waiting for them to lower the asking price for weeks otherwise they get snapped up elsewhere

Whenever Bardi is on the overlap fan debate, he comes across as a proper tool who doesn't know what he is talking about. I would take the countless Serie A watchers opinion of Vicario over his any day of the week and theirs has been very positive.
With a grand total of 5 less shots last season compared to the one before. In less minutes.
Love Son but that crap was all just convenient, manager blaming excuses for the fact he had an individually mediocre season.
That's just getting carried away to TBH.....
Yes, we need a significant upgrade in 2 CB berths, but bringing in a bunch of young CBs without the sufficient amount of games to support their development is just a recipe to wreck another player a la Tanganga.
Dunno about it specifically bringing balance, but we certainly the necessary upgrade in quality/depth.
4 CBs should get enough game time over the season if we do well in Carling Cup and FA Cup.
That indeed is the toughest part..... Not the suggested 70-80m.
Ah he seems like a decent lad. Most of us have opinions, and we all get some right and some wrong. Fair play to anybody who manages to make a few pound on the side talking about a hobby.
There's some legitimate concerns about Vicario but he looks to be a talented keeper, a big upgrade for us in possession of the ball, and if he's up to the level it will have been a good deal that hopefully allows us to spend bigger on other important positions.
