What is the either/or here?

Either Doue or Eze AND Neto?

My guess is that Palace sold Olise and Eze might be off the table and they are looking at Doue AND Neto.

If that is the case, I could fucking get behind Doue and Neto coming in. I know there issues with Neto's hammys but if they are sure about it and they could rotate the front 3 to avoid injuries. Neto would be a fucking lethal option. Doue covers Maddison when he's out and can play either wing, maybe even pushes to start when Son plays CF...We cover the now and the future.

I’m hoping doue thinks he might get a bit more game time by joining us

Of course I’d lose all respect for him

If Toney fails to attract interest from the other bigger clubs, I could see Levy waiting, driving price down, and signing him for much less than $40m.

At 25m or less fee, it starts becoming a decent deal for us even considering wages and such.

Who know if it will happen though. I’m surprised Woolwich haven’t signed him already- think he’d be perfect for them. With the other top clubs seemingly uninterested right now, it’s looking a lot like he could fall to us, and if so you know Levy would just love to nickel and dime Brentford into the ground.

I get your drift....rather than jumping in with a fistful we should wait to see if there's a few more and hope it develops into the good the bad or get ugly.

These cunts already have Olise, Musiala, Tel, Gnabry, Sane, Coman on their books, as well as that young chap coming in from Australia. Why they feel they need yet another young winger is beyond me.

Olise struggles to stay fit the whole season. Coman is even more fragile.

Gnabry is past it at the top level.

Sane is a cunt and they've had enough of his shitty attitude.

Musiala, Tel and Doue are the future.

Strikers for Anges teams tend to score tap ins/finish off moves that's how his teams set up as far as I can see.

This keeps getting repeated, but what suited an Ange Celtic, Brisbane or Yokohama side doesn't necessarily translate to the Prem. Completely different game here.

The best strikers of the last decade are all-rounders, they hold up the ball well and play with their back to goal, link the play and keep possession - Kane, Haaland, Costa, Aguero, Benzema, Lewandowski.

Increasingly this has come at the cost of goals: Firmino, G Jesus, Havertz, Giroud. The best possession football managers are increasingly relying on clever hold up specialists over pure goal tallies, because they keep the ball, which ultimately brings more control of games and more points on the board.

Rarely now do you just the top managers satisfied with a goal merchant who just runs in behind. And I suspect given our striker targets this summer (Toney, David), Ange agrees.

Relating this to Spurs, Richy's goal tally in his two month purple patch was good, but how many of those games did we control? How many did we play well as a team? Ask yourself if Pep, Klopp or Arteta would pick him? It's no surprise to me we are open to swapping him for someone who can control the ball.

Getting him out and a replacement in is the primary upgrade we need IMO

Haaland is a box striker. Doesn't have an all-round game really. He can hold it up a bit but if anything he's the perfect Ange striker.

I don't believe Toney is a target at all btw.
