How Dry should our Powder be?

Watch the pen again, it’s on bbc footie site. He watches the keeper the whole time but STILL puts it on the side the keeper goes! It wasn’t even in the corner. His looked ballsey but was actually the worst pen. His was the luckiest of ours.

Sure, he’s got self-belief, but it’s not that well founded.


Pretty sure he knows what he’s doing, he never misses!
 
I must admit I am getting a bit edgy that we still haven’t secured a new forward. There is a lot of unfounded talk about Eze, Doue etc but what we need is a proper centre forward that replaces Kane. Son is better on the left, Richarleson is not good enough, Veliz too young. I can only think/hope the player we are after is still involved in the Euros

I don’t think we are going for one, which would be a huge mistake. A lack of links for a number 9 seems to be pointing that way.
 
Chelsea need a tenth winger.
Boehly mathematics???

Toney would be a fantastic signing. Reports linking us with him today. Never paid much attention to him, but watching him for England I think hes what we need. Good focal point. Brings others into play, gets goals. Aint gonna find much better for 50m.

Toney and Eze and we cooking.
Now that Olise has gone for Bayern (him linking up with Kane will be interesting)
I'm wondering whether that now means Palace are under no financial pressure to sell Eze, OR it signals their intentions, and they'll end up selling the Family silver in one window...?

Can't work out if this is good or not!
no way we risk 60m on an injury prone player.
You'd have HOPED we've learnt our lesson!
 
Lot of reports linking us with Doue.

I am not that sold on him. He is mainly a LW who can play at 10. He is similar to Eze though not as good. A younger, cheaper inferior version. Why do we want spend £50m on a player behind Sonny on the wing and behind Maddison in the 10. A £50m back up player.

We've already brought in a couple of exciting 18yos for the future and that is great. Now we are in desperate need to improve the starting side which in turn will improve our depth. Not buying back up players as depth.

I know the club has been burnt a couple of times with their big money purchases but you can't get gun shy, you've got to pull the trigger on a couple of starting players.


How many games did you watch?
 
By watching the keeper it stops keepers diving early making it harder to get to the corner of the goal. Most penalty saves are when the keeper goes early and guesses the right way
By the time you're about to kick, the keeper is not looking at your eyes. He'll be looking at body language, standing foot angle, leg swing etc. But I don't want to over-analyse this, it's just not worth it.

All I'm saying is, it wasn't a great penalty, even though it's been getting a lot of 'ooh, his eyes' coverage.
 
Not saying i want it but i think we'll sign Toney late in the window but that will probably depend on shifting 2 or 3 of our wingers/forwards first. I just dont see where else Toney goes other than maybe West Ham.
Why wouldn't he go to any of the other top sides?

Not like Chelsea/United/Woolwich/Liverpool are blessed with great CFs. Plus he's HG.

I don't get where this notion of us picking him up for 25m at the end of the window has come from. No way it will be that cheap - there will be competition.
 
Not seen a full game of his! Just watched a number of his highlight reels since he's been talked about the past few weeks. Obviously very skilful player. I have him ranked behind Sonny and Maddison so wouldn't want to spend £50m + for him. Not sure that Eze is a good match for us either but if we were going to buy one I would choose Eze.
Who can we buy for 50m that is better than Son or Maddison?

You seemed pretty confident about the player considering you’ve watched a few clips

Woolwich i guess is a possibility but Chelsea dont sign older players, Utd are buying Zirkzee and have Hojlund as well, Liverpool have Nunez, City no chance and Villa skint and have Watkins.

Never said he'd be £25m, no chance of that. Maybe £40m/£45m late in the window.

Yep later this week our target will be revealed when he scores the winning penalty!
