What
Yeah but all the teams that had the best seasons spent more than us. Leicester being the freaky exception.Options that cost more are not necessarily better: over the years, especially in the Premier League, I have seen mediocre players paid €50-60 million. Just look at Man United's signings: they were all first choices! Purebred horses (on paper) have become donkeys.
You have a nice club, maybe they haven't won much but they are healthy, they have a fantastic stadium and a nice fan base. Over the years you have had good seasons against teams that have spent more than you.
I watch alot of serie a, past few years in my opinion the most competitive league in the world as in most different winners the past few years
His lack of numbers are down to the position he was playing, he's very fast, still good close ball control but lack of goals and assists are down to him playing central
Would lov Chiesa here, be n saying it since last summer, obvious fit
Perhaps.
But we’re not getting Kvara or Williams. As a left sided option, Chiesa is legitimately good. He’s a combative little bugger as well, which I think will suit the league.
I’d be excited to see him play.
I don't mind the idea of Chiesa at the quoted price. There's proven quality there that's probably worth the risk, whatever that risk may be.
Olmo though would be a spectacular signing. Those rumours seem to have gone quiet, was there ever a chance of that one happening? Seems more likely a City signing.
I do want Johnson, we still need another winger though.Unless you want Johnson or Kulu we need to buy a RW this window, like, now. It’s the single most important position for us right now imo.
Bring it on!
True. I’d assumed he would play left with Son as 9. I feel like Ange is all in on Johnson (for better or worse).He’d get more minutes at RW wouldn’t he?
He does have the ability to play either side.
Why do you think Spurs fans see Williams and Kvaratshkelia as unrealistic but gooners don’t?
It takes two to tango.If that is the case why is it taking so long? They wrapped Werner pretty quick end of season. Surely eze would be higher priority and better player they would have made sure it was done just after season end.
He’s not great a Juve but good with Italy. It weird.Not buying any of these Italian sources re chiesa.
He’s a massive gamble.
Eze was at the Euros and still on holidaysIf that is the case why is it taking so long? They wrapped Werner pretty quick end of season. Surely eze would be higher priority and better player they would have made sure it was done just after season end.
What are the gooners winning anytime soon?True. I’d assumed he would play left with Son as 9. I feel like Ange is all in on Johnson (for better or worse).
I don’t think Williams would even entertain us as we’re not winning anything anytime soon. And Daniel is never coughing up that sort of silly money. Scum have seen their club drop 100 million on a player. Raises expectations.
In regards to Chiesa, you need to take a few things into account:I think Neto, Toney and Chiesa would be good signings, but none of these players would take us to the next level:
-Neto injury issues and only 3 goals in past 2 PL seasons.
-Chiesa hasn’t been at same level since his ACL injury, 9G 2A in Serie A last season is good but not great.
-Toney 4 goals in half a season since his return, mediocre for a CF.
All three have great strengths; Neto & Chiesa can beat defenders with technical ability while Toney has good hold up play. But this won’t significantly bridge the gap with City/ Woolwich.
Someone’s dropped acid in the water in N5?Why do you think Spurs fans see Williams and Kvaratshkelia as unrealistic but gooners don’t?
