Hmm, I actually think Semenyo might be a better signing than Kudus, but Kudus is definitely the kind if player who goes out and has a monster performance away vs Chelsea, Woolwich, teams we struggle against. Semenyo I think has more repeatable actions with which to rack up goals and assists over a season.
The tips he rubbed off with the sandpaper?GOAT could probably give you some tips
One does one's best...What a wonderful image that creates in the mind
I am not 100% against Kudus because with his head screwed on straight he's a very good player.
The big question would obviously be if Frank and his staff can get through to him and have him perform to that level consistently.

What money do we already have?
The reality is if Romero wants to go and it's looks like he does, he will go, either this summer or next.
Oof, I felt that one
We're fucking loaded. Just too tight to spend. More money being drained out of the club than there is being pumped back in
Eze is class and Kudos is a walking red card.
He may be just a beadle, but he's our beadle.
But Semenyo has a longer contract and they don’t need to sell
Club is probably thinking:
Semenyo:
70m + 125k pw for 5 years is 102m over 5 years
Kudus:
55m + 150k pw for 4 years is 86m over 4 years
Fairly big difference. Obviously guesstimating those numbers but it will be that way they are thinking about it.
Watch Kudus play guys, he’s class. Amazing one on one and a real threat that keeps opposing full backs worried - he offers so much of what we’re missing.
I watched West Ham probably 6 times this season and thought he was their biggest threat every time, the season before he was unreal. I’ve checked in with a couple of West Ham season ticket holders and whilst they became a little frustrated with him towards the end of the season, they also get it. He’s too good to be playing that shitty style week in week out.
Frank needs to have the final call on his application but he’s exactly the type of wide player we’ve been craving.
I’d be buzzing for his signing.
Edit - he’s also only 24. Lots of room for growth still.

Eze is technically excellent, someone who can play out of a press, and has in game intelligence. Kudus not so much, but suppose we do have maddison and Kulu already.
lets see what happens
Club has no intention of buying CL marquee signings,so we deal with the next level down
But so is Romero.

Kevin De Bruyne, Thomas Partey, Christian Eriksen, Dominic Calvert-Lewin and Michail Antonio are just some of the players whose contracts officially run out on June 30www.mirror.co.uk
Eriksen released by United (Jonny Evans is retiring).
West Ham releasing Ings and Zouma who THFC were strongly linked to in the dim and distant past.
Why is a 31-year-old player on £200k being presented like a preferred/optimal signing?
When Redknapp was in charge, apparently (said everyone, for years) all the club wanted was 30+ year old players because they didn't want to pay for younger ones. The rhetoric flops about too much for a club that has had no real deviation in leadership.
We've signed Llorente for strong money, and brought in Perisic. Poch said at the time there was no age issue with signings:
Mauricio Pochettino says Daniel Levy has set no age limit for Tottenham transfers
Mauricio Pochettino insists Tottenham chairman Daniel Levy has never prevented him from signing older players during his time at the club.www.skysports.com
The evidence is quite clear that we aren't a selling club that farms players - bit weird to suggest that when it literally doesn't happen. The club did very well to keep the best players here as long as possible, to the point where we don't actually worry about it these days.
I think you've missed the point a little bud, he's not saying we're a selling club but making point it's more bang for buck to sign players young and grow them into prime.
Economically logical yes. Ambitious, no.
true but thats not on his ability. He regressed because his team regressed and there were also managerial changes.
