This seems like your typical journo story where anyone can put 2+2 together.

Mbeumo is a cracking player, but spunking 70 mill of our budget on him doesn't make a lot of sense. Our wide attacking players are not a squad weakness.

Need Eze or another creative profile.

But if Frank really does want Mbeumo here, i'm all for supporting the new boss

Frank can persuade him to move to London from errr London , not exactly Kirsty Allsop and Phil Spencer levels of location location . What shit journalism / click bait , not even trying to sound realistic
 
Solanke, johnson and mbeumo is a good selection of attackers. I think they would work well together.
Would love eze on the left but of we do spend 70m on mbeuno than I think it would be tel instead but I'm a big fan of his so that's fine.

We have got a ton of young talent, the potential growth within the squad already is very very high.

It may seem that way to us, having grown up pretty much only knowing Man Utd league dominance through to our mid-late 20s, but there are 12 year olds now who haven't seen Man Utd win the league, and 21 year olds like Tel and Odobert, who have been born since Woolwich last won anything that wasn't the FA Cup.

I kind of feel like it's the same as when a generation or two older would talk about Everton being a massive club - time moves on and it's not that people forget, it's more than someone age 25 or so wasn't going through their teens with the Ferguson united, but rather the Moyes shitshow, or the Van Gaal shitshow, or the Mourinho shitshow, or the Solkjaer shitshown.
All they will have seen and remember is a Man Utd shitshown.

It's why us winning the Europa was important. So many kids walking around thinking we've won fuck all for similar reasons. Their attention spans are minutes or seconds long nowadays, they arent interested in the 70s or 80s.
 
You also have to factor in that buying Mbuemo carries less risk.

Not just because he's proven in the PL but he clearly gels with our new manager.

Guaranteed to hit the ground running, virtually.

The way Frank has his wingers set up and improves players, I can see him playing Johnson on the left

I heard from Brenford fans that ,Frank and their club was looking at Johnson as a striker than a RW (back when they were interested to take him from Forest). Tbf, he is more of a striker material than winger for me. I cant see any qualities in him to be playing from left especially.

If we move Richy on, bring Mbemo & Tel, can see Johnson moved to the middle....
