If we lose to Leicester and Everton without a shot on target we don't need Solanke, we need Messi.We'll lose the first 2 games without a shot on target. At which point we'll have missed the chance to sign a CF.
We got 2 penalties last season.
Take penalties out of their stats then show us the numbers.
I'd take it down a notch...you don't think a sudden Spurs intrest in Ivan Toney was 100% the most predictable thing that would happen today. I'd love to play poker with you.
I’m sure BJ’s expected xG and other stats will appease the majorityIf we lose to Leicester and Everton without a shot on target we don't need Solanke, we need Messi.

Just when you thought it couldn't get any worse, the most obvious eventuality in human history goes and occurs...
Man City are considering Ings to replace Alvarez.

Deadline day it is
If people wanted a high ceiling surely they'd want Solanke, who's borderline a 20 goal striker already?

I can help with that. Its Lange. Apparently he moves like a Ninja, he's been in the boardroom at Bournemouth since the season ended but nobody knows the dudes there!Yea timing is quite odd, he’s been available all summer, not sure why it’s taken us until a week before the season starts to make a move for him.
It absolutely does, sorry.
Fuck this talk about "5-6 decent players". We have decent already.
I want 3 brilliant players. Changes much more.
I'd still say that if we'd get Emerson, Eze and Gyorkes, it would have been very good window.
Centerback, after we purchased Dragusin and he almost had 0 chance to play??? Why? Unless you want another Joe Rodon in.
We have Romero, VDV, Dragusin, Davies and then some young guns (like Phillips) on top of it.
Regarding fullbacks, we have Udogie and Porro to start. It seems more likely than not that Spence might get another chance.
So we have
LB options - Udogie, Davies, VDV and Spence
RB options - Porro, Gray, Spence
Why buy "decent" player there when we could focus on improving starting XI (and players dropping in from XI can be used as cover/substitute)?

They want Toney. They’ve seen his numbers and they don’t lie.
I guess that depends on Richy and his knowledge of his own body and if he thinks he can stay fit and keep up with the intensity of Ange ball.Think it’s way more likely that we end up with both Solanke and Richarlison than just Solanke. Not for lack of trying, but I just can’t see Richie moving to the Saudi’s league.
Would leave the front line paper thin as well. Potentially not as bad as last season with Moore and Lankshear now available, but would still impact our season.
