Doesn't sound like usgetting this creeping sense of dread we're going to drag out selling romero first and then buy whatever attacker is left late in the window and not replace romero with an equivalent talent in the back.
I wouldn't worry
13 if you count the loan fee Woolwich paid, and Brentford were holding out for more from us.
Levy did something he rarely does in that negotiation, calling a bluff and sticking to it.
But it only works out because 1. Vicario is good and 2. we turned around and spent those savings on Maddison and VDV, who are top class.
If we can do that with Kudus, wonderful, but we're already starting with less savings to pass around, and Eze is a lot better than David Raya. Being held to ransom for a goalkeeper is a different situation than not stumping up a below-market release clause for a top class creative attacker.
Well if he doesn't have a 5th place finish, he won't have a job. Levy has demonstrated that for 2 decades.
I think 2 5th place finishes isn't far off Stumbling 5th+worst season in almost a century+2nd tier European trophy.
I bet he cries for more than a week in his room if that happens.. the fckuing wuss.
Or you know, actually winning a trophy
He plays off the left or in a ten. Hopefully Frank isn’t as rigid that he wants both his wide players to just always go down the line and put crosses in. He probably wants good players first. Good players and managers work things out as well. you might get a numerical advantage elsewhere if he drifts in and takes players out of the game, you get a full back on the outside, you get a forward running in the left channel, a deeper midfield run in the space that Eze opens up. Im more worried about how we look after the ball, and Eze is on another level than Kudus.Only if you're bounded by glitzy signings and don't take into account the where he actually fits in but yeah go ahead and urge the club to waste money I guess...
Yep the club will get the shock of its life when we sign Partey on a free
Still carrying that torch

He plays as an inside 10 in a 3-4-2-1 system, he isn't a natural left winger or a natural 10, we already have two 10's in our team
Also Eze on another level to Kudus, behave, the guy had purple patch in his last 3 months at Palace before that you had Palace fans saying that he was lazy and inconsistent, are we saying that a couple of months of good form is all it takes to clear other players or are we just perhaps over reacting a little to recency bias maybe?
RW is where we need an upgrade and cover most, not an inside 10 where we struggle to work out where his best position is in our team and tbh Kudus is more versatile anyway.
If Frank wants good players then he'll have no complaints about Kudus then.
Which would be a better wing? Eze arguably is the better player, but he tends to play more centrally. At this point I'd be happy with either one.

Most of what Eze did, in terms of goal scoring, came in the last 7 weeks of the season.
I get this....we've always admired from afar even when he was at QPR, the price was too rich for us then and so it is now.
In this era of amortisation for nearly £70m Levy has already crunched the numbers showing a £10m p.a. depreciation over 7 years and ending up with a 34 year old duracell bunny with rickets.
Also, buy out clauses being met mean absolutely nothing unless the target concerned is amenable to the move.
