Meanwhile the Extra Inch podcast have done an analysis of our squad and determined we

- should spend 30m on Kyle Walker Peters. As a left back. Because he's club trained.
- Should spend 70m on Eze
- Should spend 50m on another centre back (Todibo)
- Should sell Kulusevski
- Should buy another left back.

I make that 150m on players that don't even improve our first team while also selling our second most creative player last season in Kulu.

How has this podcast survived so long? Reminds me when Bardi did a video last summer slamming Vicario's shot stopping skills. That aged well.

I haven't seen the vid as it's hypothetical transfer stuff which IMO opinion is just a waste of time, I don't get why so many of you invest all your time on this stuff.

I think Bardi has a terrible football IQ, I tend to get triggered listening to him but Nathan however is fucking excellent.

I think we should also shift Kulu if other players come in- in Ange's system he can't play wide. He's very good when he comes inside off the line but Ange doesn't really want this, he wants his wingers to hold the width so his inverted FBs play inside (sure that's a simplification, Ange will ultimately want rotation from his players). For me Kulu only really works when playing centrally as a 10, I think he's very good here, very different to Madders who likes to collect the ball deep, whereas Kulu at 10 is more a false 9 and is good at holding the ball up.

I don't know our plans for incoming players but the vibe is that we are looking for wide players and ones that are good 1v1.

Maybe Kulu can stay and give us flexibility with his versatility and something different but Johnson is a better wide player than Kulu in Ange's system. I really like him when he's central (or when we first bought him when he cut in off his line), he's also a good presser and has either the 1st or 2nd most tackles won in the final third. But he may be surplus to requirements if we get the wide players or he becomes a rotation player for 10 but as mentioned above he's not like for like with madders in #10.

Funny I had the opposite experience with them. Bardi has common sense, Nathan is a factory for terrible takes. The difference is that Nathan tries to present himself as more intellectual.
 
There's a reason why he's on loan, not once but twice.

It's beyond obvious he's plugging a hole until we buy someone permanently or promote an academy player or both for this position.

The one thing he's NOT doing is taking up a squad place - he is the very definition of temporary.
His taking a squad place this season though! We could promote Moore or Donley on that left side.

Still won as much as you lot in the last 50 years🤣🤣🤣🤣
The funny thing is you think you’ll win every time you go to a tournament and never do.


Who thinks England will win every tournament we go into? I don’t and neither does anyone I know, it’s mainly media hype and other countries use it as a stick to beat us with and accuse us of being arrogant
 
Some fair points but I will die on the sword that Richarlison is not and will never be good enough for a team that are supposedly trying to compete at the top end of the league. He just has far too many weaknesses to his game.

Son is also not a striker and is not getting any younger.

We sold the best striker in the world and replaced him with no one. That point remains. We desperately desperately need to bring in a proven goalscorer this summer.

I’m amazed it’s even up for debate really. I agree, it seems obvious we need one or if Richy goes, two strikers in. But realistically I bet the fuckers don’t even buy one!
