Brilliant
Anymore of those 'here we go' announcements, Daniel?
The common denominator is I suspect Parrish who is a very canny operator.
Funny how Opinions have changed about Levy in the space of 24 hours115 mil spent in twenty four hours!
Who's got the pictures of Levy and Lange in the Turkish baths.....
Where is Kudus?
Eze ,not now sadly.
I think it certainly is an option and one it feels like we are squad-building to accomodate. I like the thought of pushing Porro and Udogie upfield a bit and relieving a bit of their defensive requirement (not entirely), which is a weaker part of both's game. You can also put Kudus in either of the AM or up front roles in that formation as well.
And the thought of Porro being encouraged to put crosses in for Dom seems an intelligent way to go about things as well.
The squad is so good now, we don't need him.
These potential line-ups are great, but I just think we need a number 6. Bentancur is not the one.
Wharton and Robinson would be the dream end to the window for me. I appreciate Wharton is unlikely unless we really do have a cash injection.

I've always liked Levy
Bet some one said "Daniel, if you go on a spending spree, your hair will grow back and you'll look 30 years younger"
You couldn't find two more different - but complimentary - CM's than Wharton and Baleba.
Wharton is a footballer with exceptional passing ability, but athletically he is extremely challenged. Baleba is the reverse, he's an animal, outstanding athletically, defensively a total busy cunt but creatively much more ordinary, but very competent.
They would almost be the perfect complimentary double pivot.
I get why coaches would be interested in Wharton, especially a more transitional style (nice way of saying bus parky) of play coach like Frank, who would use him to turn defence into attack expediently, but he would leave you defensively compromised on days when you are dominating the possession or territory and you couldn't rely on him to hold an attacking structure together.
Personally I'd love Baleba, he's an exemplary busy cunt and I think any team would benefit from having him. I'm really surprised nobody's gone in for him already.
Can you add Hackney to that diagram?

With so many progressive midfielders now, we need a Baleba type player and not Wharton IMO
How can I put put this..... YOU'RE obsessed.
...and utterly deluded if you claim I haven't been talking about football all damn day.
Fuck off.

Wharton is a playmaker, that can ping the ball to the best option of progressive player
