Knowing us, yeah. Unfortunately.
Cant be giving the manager too many options over the bank balance
They’d use Kulusevski as the second option at 9.

But we’ve got gems aplenty, and have signed three already in Bergvall, Gray, Yang. And also have Moore, Lankshear, Donley, Hall, Vuskovic, etc coming through.Sure but that will cost, conservatively, something like £150m. Likely even more with add-ons.
Each of those PL clubs will demand huge money, the rumours for Eze and Neto already in the 60m range.
No chance Bournemouth lets their English 20-goal-a season striker go for cheap.
This is what I mean when I say Redknappian transfer window. Everyone knows that these players are good for the PL, they're Prem-proven household names from mid table clubs. Random bloke down the pub could've suggested all 3. Problem is they're all under contract and PL clubs ask for silly money for Prem-proven talent..
What are we paying Lange for exactly? This isn't unearthing a hidden gem, it's the 3 most obvious attackers in the entire league lol. Levy will not be pleased. He does not like paying over the odds and above all else he hates losing a negotiation.
65 mill for solanke would be our record fee paid. Would be embarrassingWhat are we gonna do though? Could sign a 21-year-old from the Jupiter League and hope they step up, but you’re introducing a tonne more variables.
Joking aside, a full season playing that role and i dont think his goal tally would be that different from those other 2.If we're between Solanke at 65 and Toney at 40 mill... give me Kulu as the false 9!
Lange was instrumental in persuading Bergvall. Just because he’s trying to unearth gems don’t mean he can’t sign established prem players.Sure but that will cost, conservatively, something like £150m. Likely even more with add-ons.

Why? If he brings the right balance to the side, gets on the end of the countless cutbacks that will be coming, and helps defend set pieces so Vic is not under fire like last season.65 mill for solanke would be our record fee paid. Would be embarrassing
If is the problem here.Why? If he brings the right balance to the side, gets on the end of the countless cutbacks that will be coming, and helps defend set pieces so Vic is not under fire like last season.
And Gallagher ticks both boxesI don't think Atletico care much about goals and assists from their CM - they like players who can run around a lot and be shithouses.
Levy needs to come out and explain himself if soJoking aside, a full season playing that role and i dont think he's goal tally would be that different from those other 2.
Solanke is fine don’t get me wrong but basically all of him, Neto, and Eze will cost silly money. Price of doing business with PL clubs especially for English players. There’s no chance we can fork over money for all 3 of them.
Surely someone from the continent is available that’s a little more reasonably priced.
Didn't we pay £60m for Richarlison?
We absolutely did under Redknapp.Lange was instrumental in persuading Bergvall. Just because he’s trying to unearth gems don’t mean he can’t sign established prem players.
We never had a window like that under Redknapp. Really don’t get where you are coming from in this
people were moaning earlier that all were signing is kidsSure but that will cost, conservatively, something like £150m. Likely even more with add-ons.

Yeah Portsmouth. None of Eze, Neto or Solanke come from relegation fodder. We aren't raiding Luton town for Seb Bassong. Eze and Neto made the England and Portugal squads, Solanke should have imo.We absolutely did under Redknapp.
Look at 08 or 09, it was like we bought half of Portsmouth FFS. Kranjcar, Palacios, Bassong, Keane, Bentley, Kaboul, etc. etc.
Yeah, I don’t know if he’s right, but I do know he shined last year with a coach who has very similar principles in their play to Ange.
We have fans who give our players stick even when they're on a hot streak, so he wouldn't really stand out.Solanke is a good player - strong, can hold it up, skilful enough to beat players, and decent enough pace to run beyond. His finishing is erratic though. Fans here would give him stick when he goes on a cold streak.
yes?
