Disagree. The style of football played by Ange compared to his predecessors should be expected to concede more goals as well as scoring more goals. We conceded roughly the same number as the previous season (presumably due to having better defenders now). Our problem, given Ange's playing style, is not scoring enough goals.

He’s a back up at best. He can’t be our number 1 striker for many reasons.
No one's going to win anything conceding 60+ goals a season. Yeah sure, his style will inherently make us concede more than the usual title challenging team but it can't be 60+.
Premier league winners, over a season, usually concede like 23-35 goals overall. There are clear defensive issues for us that need to be sorted out.
Had a very similar problem with a chimney the other day....
Happy birthday have a fabulous day!
All these ITKs lie , but this one is a whopper
Well yes if you're talking about being 'Premier league winners', but I reside here in the real world, progressing one step at a time, where 'Premier league winners' is a very long way off, and for me it's very obvious that scoring more goals is far more akin to 'succeeding at Angeball' than conceding fewer.
Obviously in an ideal world we do both - but the post I was referring to was suggesting that the previous poster was 'looking at the wrong column', as if the number of goals we scored last season whilst playing Ange's type of football was sufficient - it wasn't, and given that style of football (which is what we are currently playing, whether you or anyone else likes it or not), scoring more goals is both more important and more achieveable than conceding fewer goals.

They're not the benchmark, they're an example of how poorly thought out transfers can have a major impact on a clubs ability to progress.
NDombele is far from "insignificant" in PL fee terms, he's probably the prime example of just how a poorly thought out transfers can affect a club.
The attitude of some on here is pay the money. I'd agree with that for any player that is a needle mover, but then all we have are opinions on what players would actually move the needle.
Personally, I think we have made signings that have moved the needle. Vicario, Romero, VDV etc are all players that have improved us and will improve us further. We've paid some significant sums in there, but you seem to think that the only "statement of intent" worthy of note is breaking a transfer record?
It's not, and has never been, about how much we spend on a player, it's about getting the RIGHT player. Having a hefty pricetag doesn't make a player the right choice.
He’s a pussy
I don't think the issues can be sorted out at PL level. Playing that way will just see us exploited. A lot.

How do I pay you?
60-70m seems about right to me. I really think he's a great player- versatile too. I'd love if we could buy him but 90m is just too much- City are selling him for a reason- he's not as good as Haaland in their eyes. 60m with bonuses would be very fair.
Tbh i think ange is assessing players like lankshear, moore and others to see if thry can cut it for the premier league this season. If they cant they will go on loan and we will spend. Would like to see all the youngsters come good as saves us cash and can pay off stadium.
Just curious- how do you rate him as compared to Richarlison?
Just curious how much do we owe for stadium? Bit of a noose round our neck. Want that paid off ASAP ideally unless a new owner comes in and pays it off.
