Anyone who thinks Neto is not an injury prone player is deluding themselves especially thinking he is not good enough or fit enough for what we need in a wide player. He is head and shoulders far more injury prone than any of the wide men we have and his injury record would got the fans out of their seats to protest at Levy for spunking good money on a player who we all KNEW would spend the majority of the season on the treatment table!. A good old spurs type player - like Anderton - great player, but with lots of injuries! Ah well Eze it is then…
FIXED!
 
Lol.

Johnson is first choice. Scored or assisted 20% of our goals last season in a limited role in his first season with the club. Buncha weirdos around this place.
No, Johnson isn’t an outright first choice as evidenced by the fact the club were looking at Neto.

Look Brennan had an OK season and he gets too much shit on this site, but anyone that thinks a trio of Son, Solanke and Johnson gets us into the realms of even competing at the top end of the league is deluded.

Stop using stats as an argument, it’s incredibly reductive. Both Son and Johnson had statistically good seasons last year, but anyone that understands football who actually watched the game as opposed to just looking at the stats could see our wide players were a huge huge issue in our build up play and an area we needed to improve upon.

There’s a reason everyone has been talking about a “profile of a wide player” like Neto who can beat a man.

There’s some cunts on here who are unfair to our players at times, and I get we want to argue with that. But if you’re happy with Son, Solanke and Johnson as a starting trio because all 3 had decent stats last season you’re misguided as to what’s going to make us a better team this year.
 
Zero links to him though and he couldn’t get in the Belgium team at the euros. Could easily be another Bergwijn buying from that league.
He was in the squad tho?

He's 21 which is very young for international football and the Dutch squad had more established older players in the front line. Players currently in bigger leagues than the Erie. Doesn't mean they are better players though as w saw with the number of minutes Cole Palmer got in the Euros.
