Suprised Eze isn't on their, as much of a winger as Chair
Eze is nothing like De Bruyne. Maddison is a closer fit and he is a division below at least
Eze is more than decent but not quite sure what would be seen as a good comparator, player-wise.

Bournemouth dropping 50m on a single transfer but Levy still thinks 60m is a marquee signing.
Sarr was one of the best players in the premier league at shutting down transitions defensively.
What Ange wants from Gallagher is the pressing and the goals. Sarr can do the pressing but does need to add the goals. Withing 2 seasons max, Sarr is so far clear of Gallagher he's not even visible in the rear view.
I mean they had to sell their best player to do it.
They did. but they haven't tried to spread it on 5 20m players. I'm actually impressed by how ambitious they are for a club that size.
I didn't know you knew Levy well enough to get that quote (in bold) from him !
So far Solanke seems to be the highest priced player signed by a PL cub this summer - good yes but marquee, hmmmm ?.
And by showing the Solanke contract signed by Tottenham to Bournemouth's bankers Bournemouth can sign any player they want up to that value. Good on them finding what they think is a top alternative striker so quickly.
I suppose they're using their Solanke money, so they've changed CFs and made £10m profit.
...just ask her brother Mike!!C Hunt?
That’s a recipe for disaster
Oh, don't worry, there's PLENTY of time!

No he wasn't! I'm talking about shutting them down before or as they happen, not chasing the Oppo 2 passes already into their transition. We have to shut them down with 5 or so seconds - see City or peak Liverpool (I don't want to completely chuck him under the bus as the solo culprit because it's system-related too - we do commit a lot of players forward and he's often one of those players, other players who should be contributing to shutting down transition are our inverted FB's so there's share in responsibility too.
Sarr is good a winning the ball back when pressing oppo (as a team we are good pressers high-up the pitch), but to have so many transitions against us whilst he's our #8 means he is shit at doing anything about them, it's literally one of the main things a #8 should have in their locker. Galagher for example is night and day better than Sarr at this and therefore would transform us by preventing oppo transitions. NOT dealing with transitions & set pieces (conceding 61 goals last year) is our nemesis.
We are absolutely shit and dealing with oppo transitions, we will not progress as a side if we don't address this. As part of Angeball, we will always have perhaps a higher % against us because it is our accepted way to play and I completely accept this - it's about finding a solution to preventing say 30% less that's all. (I've completely made that figure up but I hope you get the gist).

Who for??.....
Evanilson would have been a better signing for us.
