What are we thinking happens the next two weeks then?

Personally I just can't see us being able to sign Eze or Vlahovic. Not even going to think about them.

My best guess is we sign Orban and then an underwhelming backup CB.
 
I think he still has a lot to offer. He just needs to change position. For his own good also, for his career, the sooner the better. We love Sonny we want the best for him.
He is one player everyone wants to see do well. Ronaldo comparison when his legs went make a lot of sense. Keep him centrally where he can be more effective. But that does stop rich having a run as the Main man. I’d still rather we got someone in better than them both to lead the line as either of those 2 isn’t exactly scary for the opposition.

Lloris, Tanganga, Spence, Hojbjerg, Ndombele and Reguilon all leave.

Would be happy with getting Orban, Schuurs and a wide midfielder in.
 
No real surprises except for the sudden revival of Davinson.

While he is limited on the ball he was half decent with Poch. I just don’t think he can play in a low block, but in a press where he is often defending by foot races with attackers he is in his element. Other than that he might be a confidence player and if Conte was ripping him to pieces it probably didn’t help.

I can live with him as our 4th choice. Still need another top CB.
 
The coppa America /WC qualification for SA is a fairly good standard and they will play low block teams.

He will get a run of games and we'll see anyhow. I'm not that hopeful but I also think an 18 year old fresh from the Belgian league will also struggle to make an impact.

This is it. We'll know by the time the January window opens if he has a hope in hell of being a 1st choice forward for us or any top half team in a decent league.
 
No-one? No English fan will but do you think the millions of Ronaldo fans in Africa and the Phillipines care for the history? It will be awful to us but it’s coming
I think also the world is changing with sport. It’s matching the modern social media internet type age. People want to watch 2 YouTubers box rather than a couple of top pros in a more traditional venue. Champions going on the undercard of 2 YouTubers!
& a lot of the the very few big boxing fights end up being in Saudi Arabia! So it’s a double whammy of times changing & £££ buying things & sport.

There is a lot of fan boys of certain players or clubs who are global brands. My kid nephews & his mates have psg shirts & follow certain players where they go. Psg have become a big brand now. Some do also support a proper English team but it’s a big change from our day. Just because most football fans in the UK don’t watch the french league, it has barely any impact on how much psg have grown. Ronaldo & messi are still 2 of the biggest players despite playing in USA & Saudi leagues. None of us watch it but it doesn’t matter.

I think people over about 35 are out of touch so think how can you prefer to watch a Saudi league match rather than the good old proper top tier English league. But who would have thought YouTubers fighting would have so much interest. Also England is only a small country so as you say most of the rest of the world don’t care about our traditions.
£££ bought a WC so I am sure it can buy the CL or as in golf set up s rival competition so they have to give in & go with the times.
I will always be old school so won’t be moving with the modern times! But that won’t stop that shift.
