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.
