I'm not talking to you right nowShame the same sentiments weren't adhered to in the Ange thread
Still sulking
Neto 2.0 from last summer
Kudus is a top player. Incredibile talent.
But you need also a center forward (Solanke a bad signing, not good enough for CL football) and a defensive midfielder.
Jashari: he costs 35m. Plus a top striker.
Vicario
Porro
Vdv
Romero
Udogie
Jashari
Kulusevski
Maddison/Bergvall
Kudus
Sesko/Ekitike/Gyökeres
Odobert
This is very good team. You lack not many players, but they must be the right players.

Solanke is better than Gyokeres or Sesko. Ekitike is a B-Tech Isak with one half decent season, who I’m hoping one of our rivals waste loads of money on.
Sesko the only one of the 3 who physically could reach a ceiling better than Solanke right now.
Wonder if kulu wasn’t injured we’d flog him? 20m for kulu and 30m on Harvey Elliot would be great business
Kudos on the right
A spiteful DM
LB … a good one to rotate with the dog
Gets us back in the top 6

I can handle it mate, dont worry. No need to get your knickers in a twist.
You must keep him because you can't recoup the money. But he is average. He can be a squad player in a CL team, never a sterter. Bad signing. Your weakness is the attack: Solanke, Richarlinson and Johnson are average, Tel is raw, Odobert also raw but he has top potential.
i wouldn't call Elliot as a replacement for Kulusevski great business, just cuz he scored some goals at under 21s. Think that would be the opposite of great business

That he’s played as a 10 for Ajax and Ghana, played as RW for everyone, and has superb touch and technique and is hard to dispossess so could definitely fit the profile of a false 9.
B-b-but... how many goals has Solanke scored in the Portuguese league?!??!
Amen, brother.
You can't be serious...
Imagine being a 23 year old showing up to the U21s and acting like he did. No thanks.
So our team it is now generally accepted to have been poorly coached for 2 seasons. We have a new manager who will want to not only implement a different system , but most likely a few different systems as tactical flexibility is one of his main appeals. Yet it appears at time of posting we are some way off getting the three high quality experienced players needed for CL commitments.
I do not believe we will sign 3 experienced high quality players , (not sure anyone on here believes that) . So assuming we do not go for high quality or 1 high quality signing at best , Frank is going to have to work with lesser quality and improve them as individuals and make the team better than the sum of its parts .
I am not sure there is much to disagree with above , it seems balanced to me at least . So personally not getting players in fairly promptly seems negligent . That is the part that some might disagree with. However that means the view is give Frank lesser tools and insufficient time to both improve individuals and integrate a number of playing styles .
Ideally we sign 3 experienced players of high quality promptly , or being a pessimist we sign 3 or 4 lesser quality players but promptly . Surely nobody will be in the defending lesser quality and not even on a prompt basis option

Oh wow! If Carling did dumb posts
Where did I say I didn't like him? He's a decent player who's defo got his own USP, but he ain't who we should be buying after finishing 17th and our chairman claiming he's after the PL & CL (I know I know...he's mugging us off). Buying Kudus doesn't move the needle. Period.
I say you don't buy that lad after already wasting money on Tel, but especially not when Bowen is the No 1 to get out of West Ham.
