I suspected it was the wrong move at the time as he was never gonna "totally transform" the way we played (as commonly insisted at the time) and the frequent "he's not that great defensively though" chatter was a further red flag.

CB was a way more practical (and point preserving) purchase at the time.

........I fear we're creating a square peg/round hole scenario for Udogie too.

.......I don't think Maddison is a great fit either.

I'm quietly hoping Ange surprises us here and does something few are expecting.



(People get so hung up about 3at the back... I think we should be sticking with it personally.)

I’d expect agreement to be found 10m higher for a player with one year left on their contract. Can’t be many, if any, players who have gone for more with only a year left.

Hazard (to RM) £100m
Ronaldo (to Juve) £99m

Factoring in inflation; likely a fair few more in years passed.

So how are they used then?

All the videos I've seen suggest that his full backs come in field to offer more passing lanes and are heavily involved in the build up and outnumber the oppo in the middle of the pitch.

What you're asking Udogie to do is essentially play as a midfielder and be patient in his build up play whilst picking out the right passes, I've seen nothing to suggest that Udogie can do that...playing as an explosive/aggressive wing back is very different from playing in field as a midfielder.

But I agree I don't think we'll play like that first off anyway but if he's going to revert to his usual tactics he's going to need full backs who are smart in possession as I'm not sure if any of our lot have the quality to do that.

I get people are just excited to see new signings in the team but there's no point putting square pegs in round holes.

That's presupposing that these players lack the ability to be coached though. Just because you haven't seen him do it, doesn't automatically equate to 'cant do it.'
 
Watched highlights of Brazil versus Senegal and Richarlison was poor.If Kane goes he is not the man to score the goals .We would be better selling him with Kane and splash out for a top striker although I don’t have a clue as to who that would be
