How Dry should our Powder be?

Don’t we all. Pure silk. I used to watch him in the warm up and he was embarrassing. Just toddled about just above a walk. Then the game started and he was class. Touch as good as any striker I’d seen since Van Basten. He’d be worth over £100 million in todays market.

In today's market I believe he'd been seen as s luxury player.
 
Our revenues are £200m higher than Athletico Madrid.

We sold Harry Kane for £100m last season.

How is that they can afford Gallagher, who we tracked for years, AND Julian Alvarez, while we're still scrounging up pennies and needing to throw in players to complete deals? 🤨

There’s a few players we’ve had who are just outstanding skill footballers - obv Modric but players like Kanoute, Berba, Carrick, Corluka were all my kinda players. Underrated but exceptionally and quietly genius at the simple stuff
 
As with everything, some context needs to be applied. He was exceptional in the Championship, then had a poor PL with Bournemouth before Ireola took over. As soon as Bournemouth started playing front foot Football he excelled. We play front foot Football.

We have fans pining for Gyokeres, yet he's never done anything in a top league as he's never played in one, yet he'd cost £20M more?

We can't complain about missing out on players like Bowen from the Championship, then moan about Solanke when he's performed in both Championship and now Prem.
This is the biggest issue. Fans on here think we're better than that, when in reality they are good players.

The people who are desperate for us to sign Eze and now rate Bowen and the same people who would have slated the club for looking at them when they were at QPR and Hull respectively.

FWIW I live in Coventry and have watched Gyokeres a lot, he's built for the PL. An absolute monster in strength, and is quick. I think he'd suit our system, but 100m euros is a lot.
