Fuck Richarlatan, just give the minutes to Scarlett. At least he’s got a chance of a future here. The Brazilian clown needs to be shipped out as soon as we can find some mugs stupid enough to take him.

That's unfair to a player that gives everything he can when he plays.

Richarlison has always had a good work ethic. But he's had a serious bout with mental health - which is no joke btw - and that definitely affects your output. He might not be the greatest fit to our system either, but the guy works for it, so it's certainly unnecessary to call him a clown and flipping him off.

Btw, he scored a great header against Leicester last weekend. So he's doing exactly what he is supposed to.

Awesome.

Roma rejected him in the summer cause of a heart defect.

His adductors are made of Philadelphia.

Good player in Ligue 1 up until this season, but a very underwhelming move considering the situation we're in.

I'll back him when he's a Spurs of course...but them PR twats better not tell us he was Ange's priority all along.

A y better than trying Philips or dorrington? We have done this so many times over the years buying underwhelming players who take up a squad place. Turbo being most recent example. Just give some of our youth a chance and then supplement with buying proper proven real quality.

I’ve seen a fair bit of Danso, seen him live iirc, this is an unremarkable signing. Not shit, but he’s not exceptional either. He’s an athletic unit, very strong, and covers ground but not the smartest reader and not great with the ball, possibly a little more comfortable than Dragusin, but not exceptional at all.

Upgrade on Davies for sure, marginal upgrade on Dragusin.

Hard to believe this is the best that a recruitment analytics and scouting department could do.

Your opinions on players are no longer respected given all your nonsense posts about Kulu.

But thanks for popping in.

If you’d been in a room with Lange who’ would you have on the list?

In all fairness, Spurs were after Khusanov but once Jorge Mendes entered the scene he got Man City to almost double the initial asking price...and Tomori could not make up his mind whether he'd stay or leave Milan.
 
I know everyone wants Gray to be a midfielder but watching him closely Thursday night and he’s a centre back. He’s physically fine for it, covers the ground well, can read and knows the game. He’s basically our John Stones. Not the worst season to learn the game there either if it benefits the next manager.

I’d rather go out and bring Douglas Luiz in on loan, who is still waiting for a move, to give us cover in midfield and just persevere with Gray at CB.

Gray at CB means you get much less out of him than he has in his locker. He can spray passes, he can dribble out and break the press, he can score goals too.

I still think that his time learning all 4 defensive positions will just make him an even smarter #6. Always have felt that. This period losing will make his character and determination to win even tougher as well.

Doesn’t mean you can’t sign a Douglas Luiz type of player. He’s 18, you don’t need to burn him out playing twice a week, every week just yet. Not even next season. He can be a starter but in a rotation.

Nice that it’s not about us and who cares now we have Danso. Especially because Danso might be a better player.

But if we already knew he’d turned down Juve because he wants to stay at Milan, why did we even bother making a deal with Milan if we weren’t 100% sure he’d come??

Unless Tomori was an intentional smoke screen to get business done quietly on Danso in the background?

So he'd already decided before the Milan Derby.

Not good enough and totally unreliable, hope we sell in the Summer.
