How Dry should our Powder be?

Yeh our links to players make that clear. Gray will be our long term 6 with Bissouma and Bentancur fighting for the role now.

Sarr is a good player but needs competition. Bergvall if he plays 8 is more an attacking 8 we can use when we are the superior team. I can see where a Rottweiler type comes in.
While it may or may not be true that we are chasing a Rottweiler type, let's not pretend that "links to players" have any meaning other than that hacks and "ITK"s are trying to attract clicks and donations by making semi-plausible guesses.

The Gallagher thing has been from multiple media across the board and along quite a bit of time. That one seems way too much smoke for it to be just made up.
 
Odobert spent last season playing PL football (not youth football) with Burnley, and season before spent at Troyes (the in French top league) playing for their first team (not youth football)

So the 2 last seasons playing first team football in PL or French top league making over 60 appearances (90% starts) over those 2 seasons.

Why ask about Odobert playing youth/u21 football which he played 2 or 3 years ago ?

Why not ask about him playing in PL or French top league ?

Everyone wanking themselves silly on Doue when this guy has been performing at a higher level interests me.
 
So many people are "we need a 6" or crying for a DM when it's clear Ange sees the missing jigsaw piece as a Rottweiler type, who hounds and presses like crazy with box to box legs.

Rather than a defensive shield, it's someone who aggressively wins the ball back in the middle of the pitch.
Yes!

Think about the biggest issue we faced last year (and pre-season hasn't been any better): Oppo transitions. We need to find a solution to this, when we do we gain approximately +10 points (using goals we conceded from them last season). We have to accept teams will transition against us by how we have chosen to play but by preventing half of the transitions, which I think is realistic, we instantly improve.

The solution is a busy, aggressive, snidey little shit that hauls down oppo transitions as they start (target the ball player of the first pass and the receiver of the first pass = job done).

Another CT bites the dust

Though tbh, I'd be amazed if they could afford him. I imagine we'll want 20+ for him.

Skipp out for 15-20m

Gomes in for 40-50m

If we could get 10-15m for GLC as well we’d be looking at upgrading to Gomes for a pretty reasonable net outlay.

Biss
Bentancur
Gray
Sarr
Bergvall
Gomes

Those cover the 6/8 rotation

Maddison
Kulusevski
Bergvall

Those cover us for the #10 rotation
