Potential LB signings
1. Renan Lodi - His attacking prowess and defensive solidity make him a strong candidate
2. David Raum - Great crossing ability and plenty of pace
3. Owen Wijndal - Left back for Ajax. Good both offensively and defensively. Excellent positioning and a strong tackler who is outstanding in 1 v 1 situations. Makes overlapping runs down the left, great crossing ability, pacey, and looks like a future leader.
Y'all are welcome
Both important but striker was clearly the priority (not left back). If we signed a left back and not a striker it would have been a far bigger disaster
Are you done
Sorry if being pedantic - I honestly think striker was the stand out signing. Could argue other positions, personally I would have liked a stellar wide attacker rather than a kid from the champo (or left back) but hey ho at least we don’t risk a Leeds situation
Why exactly is he on loan again? Napoli punishing him for not agreeing to his sale or something?
It feels like the spending dried up a bit this past year. I don't know if Europe is technically in recession but it does feel like the clubs have less money and less willingness to spend than usual. I'd guess that played a factor in Toney's Saudi move too.
Without a shadow of a doubt yes. However, by doing so, it would require us to cut our losses on this £40m Gray at FB experiment, so I’m not sure that it happens.
I don’t think it’s a FB experiment. I think Ange genuinely has zero options and Gray is the only other senior player that has any experience at that position so by default, he’s being played there.
Pretty far down the list for me personally.
