The club has wasted €193m on those guys, let's he brutally honest. Just because they overpaid for them, doesn't mean they're good. Odobert is fine, BJ isn't a LW and Tel is probably the worst player I've seen in a spurs jersey since Raziak (I'm sure you don't know who that is).
With Kudus, Johnson, Odobert, and Tel - all players capable and having played on the LW previously - the club has €193M in transfer fees tied up in LW capable wingers (just counting those in the current active squad and not Solomon who we're hoping moves on).
We have Bergvall and Sarr who are not #10s but at this moment have to attempt to play that role. Thats €37M.
Not trying to tell you how to build a squad, but ACM is the need. Again, LW is a strong desire. But we will sign an ACM before the end of the window because we have to.
The squad in the forward position is absolutely miles away, a blind man can see that. Deluded if you look at that and think that's getting us anywhere top 5.
Well even if you say Johnson and Kudus will only play RW (they clearly won't) - Tel and Odobert are €75M in fees.
Again, the point isnt that we wouldn't want another LW. I'd be happy if we signed Savinho (though acting like he's a nailed on success is a stretch).
It's that an ACM is a need. We needed a backup before Maddison's knee exploded. Now that he's out for the season we literally don't have an ACM in the squad.
Ideally we sign both, but we have to sign an ACM - and no doubt will, but the poor guy is fucked because unless he's better than Eze plenty of supporters will be shitting on him from the moment he signs.
Edit: Won't shock me to see us sign Eriksen. Not that I'm campaigning for it, but its an easy connection to make and he's available for free.
Go to the ground but boo from minute 1 to minute 24 non-stop, then walk the eff out...every single one of them (well bar the matchday tourists...cunts).
And do not...I repeat DO NOT spend a penny at the ground. No beer, no pie, no merchandise...nothing.
Then repeat til he has no other option than to eff the eff off.
The Rodgers links feels like someone somewhere is laughing and saying, “Watch this, let’s get them to fall for it again!”
No way we sign 3.
I'd take Savinho alone. Then put in a workman-like 3 man midfield like a poor man's Liverpool under Klopp.
Savinho moves the needle.
BEK, Scott, Dibling etc. do not. Rogers is a complete fantasy not worth entertaining.
Ah, Confucius
Don't believe any of the lies you will inevitably see on twitter between now and the end of the window. Don't engage with it. Switch off from it. Whatever happens happens. What's the point in fretting about things we have zero control over.
This is the sound advice that I should be following but probably won't be over the next 10 days or so

It will be Dibling or El Khannouss and probably a loan of some out of favour winger
321The club is already preparing tomorrow's unveiling photo of Rogers:
Yes, that's the 2nd time I've been able to use that photo today!!
Got my money's worth there!!
Bookmarked

I’m not expecting anything, but disappointment, for the rest of the window
I’d rather say around MGW level. He was PFA young player of the year last season and got 29 G/A in all competitions which is impressive. I would say his strength is his general play and power/speed combo. He is a more effective but less silky version of Eze and he is only 23 so more room for growth.
Would I prefer him to Eze and MGW, yes but we have even less chance, it’s an £80m deal.

If you are remotely buying into the Rogers PR spin, just ask yourself, if we were ever willing to spend 90m to get him, why would we have gone for Eze first?
You are priceless
Villa aren't letting him go for anything like £60m, of that answers your question.
