I agree with this. We need more players that can link up rather than run in straight lines.

We could lower the fee by writing off our sell-on percentage on Edwards too. Wonder if they would be interested in Veliz bundled in too? He’s got Portuguese league written all over him IMO.
not a phrase you would associate with Richarlison…
Are you French?
90%
What did he do against Brentford?
Man United?
Bournemouth?
Showed up Vs Burnley when everyone was fed up with him.
Sheff United? Nothing.
Luton? Nope.
Woolwich - showed up.
Liverpool - showed up.
Palace - showed up.
Chelsea? Nothing
First 10 games shows he did something in 40% of the games. (4 in 10 is 40% in case you don't know how percentages work)
There's only one person revising anything here. Son went missing and was absolute fucking awful for long spells. You can say some of it was through playing down the middle, but even that doesn't excuse just how badly he played as well as not scoring.
We've seen players not score but play well. Those were not the games he had.
He should be used more sparingly IMO. Either start but only play 60 minutes, or not play every match, or sometimes be used as an impact sub.
Tottenham waive part of Marcus Edwards sell-on clause for Pedro Porro deal
TOTTENHAM had to surrender millions out of Marcus Edwards’ sell-on clause to Sporting Lisbon in order to sign Pedro Porro in January. Spurs sold Edwards in 2019 to Vitoria Guimaraes who then …

Won't be much left of it at this rate. Nor is he worth much by all accounts (£15m ish these days?
Gary is the good Jacobs and that’s now a second Saudi club linked.
Gut feeling is this is further along than we know and we might see the club spending the cash before he goes.
I mean, even the Chelsea match he scored and was a toenail away from making it 2-0. But even if you’re saying he’s only effective when he’s scored, his record before going to the Asian Cup had him only 2nd to Haaland in the golden boot.Are you French?

His minutes definitely need to be managed better next season though. He’s a player who relies on high impact sprints and he’s not gonna be able to do it effectively for 40+ matches in his mid-30s.
Even if it’s 10m, it could still help get a deal done for Gyokeres, given how tricky Portuguese clubs are to negotiate with.Tottenham waive part of Marcus Edwards sell-on clause for Pedro Porro deal

My questioning of your post was the 90% stat. That literally means he played well in 9 out of 10 matches, but you know as well as I do it was nowhere near that.
He was at his best under Poch IMO and even as a much younger chap, he used to regularly come off after 60-80 minutes, often dragging his knackered arse off. I'd rather have him at 100% for 60% of a game, than have him at 40% for 100% of every match.
The second half of the season our laboured build up play didn't provide many opportunities for sprints.
Still traumatised over the month long saga for Porro tbh.
To be fair to them, they laid it out from day one and stuck to until day 31
Son's better when the team is counter attacking.
Yep there's a whole load of recency bias about Son, it's quite funny reading it actually.
The hope is that you get at least one dynamic winger which draws opponents in, what was happening last season when opponents starting clocking our game plan is that they were packing the middle of the pitch because they'd leave our wingers in space knowing that they couldn't do much with the ball - the idea is that if you have 1 or 2 very good wingers with good ball retention and who can use the ball correctly then that will give Son space to thrive in.
You’re right I haven’t
Was there on holidays and it seemed lovely but I’m not an expert on the area
I'm touching myself.
Doesn't he have an injury reputation that makes Lo Celso look robust?
City's signings have been a bit sus recently. £55m on Mattheus Nunes who couldn't get a game, £60m on Doku who has talent but little end product as yet, and £90m on Gvardiol who spent half the season looking like Bambi on ice.
Pep seems obsessed with ball carriers right now when he's based his career on having elite passers. Eze seems another in that mould.
£40 up front (the rest structured) for Toney and shove 20 over to Eze fund.
We can get Toney, Eze and Neto.
That is a game changer.
Then next summer we can complete the rebuild to quality-balance out squad.
Not like it's a tactic of Baldcunt to wait until a bigger club swoops in, then it's "omg we were in for him, we were ready to do it... we did try, guys!"
The lord of all bastard cunts, that man.
