Osimhen is Bergkamp good? Never when I've seen him.

No. You are absolutely right, he isn’t. Nowhere near. And I think Solanke is a much better footballer than Armstrong.

I actually just deleted that part of that post because I wrote it out last night and then thought nah…forgot to delete it before replying to Starks Starks and it came out on top of that quote/reply in error.

I just meant It had the feeling of that kind of summer when they got the superstar striker and we got the homegrown not so superstar guy.

Either way, I would still rather we prioritised some creative wide forwards and creative eight.
 
You've obviously never watched Kudus. Very good player.

I do also think at some point the world class label needs to be toned down around Son. He is a rung below that.

Mbappe, Vinicius, Haaland are world class. Son is not in that category.
We defo should have got kudos last year instead of BJ. Cost less as well. I said at the time there were better wide players out there than BJ but Ange wanted him even though he doesn’t even suit his style of play. For conte / low block counter team yes but for high line pocession based no.

We need all of them. Ange said he wants to challenge for the premier league, the club needs to get behind him.

Solanke, Neto, Eze... That's a serious club for me. Why should a club this big, with a global fanbase, one of the best stadiums in the world, and ranked top 10 wealthiest clubs in the world think that is an unrealistic window when they finished 20+ pts off top the year before?
 
What a massive coincidence that that timeline also coincides with Chelesa and City getting taken over by effective nation states.

prob just a coincidence like I say.

I wonder which two teams have won the most trophies since 2000

WHAT'S THAT YOU SAY?!? Cheslea and City!?!

Alison Brie What GIF
Levy had 8 years before city got bought.
He had 3 years on chelsea, and he could have cashed out and sold to Abramovic. But short term sales were never on the card when they can milk the cow for decades.
 
Our problems in the first half had nothing to do with the ball sticking up front. Apart from a very few occasions, the only ball they were getting was a punt upfield from Vicario. The only way the ball was sticking there was if it was coated in velcro.

I agree with the rest of your post, apart from the bit about Spence. I think he was a bit exposed today, because Davies is so slow. Even then though, he still put in a good performance. Wasn't he up against Tel? One of the top young talents in World Football, and Spence wasn't embarrassed by him. If the boy has grown up and shelved the attitude, he'll definitely get games this season, either on the right or the left.
Yeah number of times Spence raced back and got beyond Davies to help out. Davies is pants needs to go. Spence was doing 3 jobs yday, cover LB, covering for Davies and getting up field as well. How Ange or anyone doesn’t see that he could be useful for us is beyond me.
