skipp is a 5/6th choice cm lets be real. he doesnt add anything to the midfield. he was a passenger against brentford and if anything a bit of a liability due to his lack of speed and mobility. sarr would at least offer you legs! never mind the fact hes a better footballer on the ball than skipp too.

Cool... Just curious.
I did say "all budgetary bollocks aside for a moment"....... You couldn't resist tho; no? LOL
Doku v Tapsoba then?
Lots of media coverage regarding possible exits for our, possibly unwanted players. A summary of some of the possible destinations :

I want that PEH exit soooooooo bad
...And the PGA caved within 6 months and - in all but name - sold themselves to the Saudis. FIFA will be no more staunch in their defiance when push comes to shove.

HG for both PL and UEFA rather than British, but understand the point
still wanna see mad-biss-gio..... would of been better against brentford if gio started instead of skipp. against them counter attacking sides mad-biss-gio could be key
What if we brought in VDV on the understanding that whilst ongoing team selection will be on merit, he would start immediately (which he has) and the place would be his to lose. Then you want to sign Tapsoba, even if he also expects to start, and potentially thereby piss VDV off only a couple of weeks after him joining? That would be a very stupid thing to do.
I don't know if that's the understanding VDV has, but it could be. You certainly don't know that it isn't. My point is that the above scenario is perfectly plausible, and makes signing Tapsoba now an unwise thing to do if it's true.
Man City though?
Never seen anything credible quoting a price tbh....... 60m just seems to be a fan guess-timation that appears to have gained traction.
Honestly no, he goes missing too often in games and is not a box to box midfielder who also doesnt have a DEF side to his game. This part gets over looked due to the moments of good attacking play he does.
It's not bogus- let me explain.
Net spend over the past 5 years as a way of comparing clubs can be flawed, because net spend in previous years could influence the value. But the extent to which it is a flaw depends on the the discrepancy in the previous years.
So for example if: Club A and Club B had similar net spend from 2018-2023, but Club A had net spend of 200m more than Club B from 2013-2018; looking at the net spend between just 2018-2023 as a comparator would be very flawed.
But if Clubs A and B had similar net spend from 2013-2018; looking at 2018-2023 in would not be as flawed.
tldr Net spend is not always a very flawed measure- our low net spend from 2013-2018 made it majorly so for the 2018-2023 comparisons. That doesn't really apply to my point here, comparing our net spend in this window to Woolwich's.
That's a close one- although Doku sadly may be City bound.
For RW, I'd love it if we gazumped West Ham for Kudus.
All fair points and if we were in Europe I would agree with you, but the fact is we aren't and there just aren't enough games for a 3 CB rotation. I don't think that does anyone any good.
I don't view it as Eze or Maddison. I view it Maddison next to Eze. Both Maddison and Eze have experience playing a deeper role. If Emerson is going to be our RB, we need more from our CM alongside Maddison. Both Skipp and Sarr haven't shown they have the attacking capabilities yet. I think it would be unfair to think Bentancur comes back in and hits the ground running straight away and even him, outside of last year, doesn't have a history of contributing offensively.
We also don't have anyone to backup Maddison. Lo Celso had a nice preseason but certainly you can't put too much stock in him and I still think we'd sell for the right price.
It doesn't matter whether he will back himself or not. He simply will not sign for the club unless he is told he is first choice. And he won't be told that.
VDV has been told that and Romero knows that he is first choice.
The PGA only controlled one of the four majors, was the thing.
I dunno, we'll see.
The chances that the European Super League already happened in the form of the new CL, and that proves more durable than many suspect are underrated.
Also, FIFA is trying to establish its own ESL-type operation in the Club World Cup. There's dirty money flowing in all different directions.
The ESL conspirators came for the whole enchilada and missed, badly. The football world is very large, they will need a much bigger army next time if they want to try again. I'm not sure the Florentino Perez' and Andrea Agnelli's of the world are the Masters of the Football Universe they fancy themselves.
For Gods sake, Chelsea are not having problems , they’ve got about 20 wide forwards.
If you sign for a top club, you should always expect to be competing against other top players to keep your place in the team.
And again, I don't think 3 CBs competing for 2 spots is anything unusual. I would prefer the selection headache of keeping good players happy compared to relying on Dier/Sanchez if we have any injuries.
£100m get real
