fair enough but I think you can still see special at 19 (touch, vision, etc), and I don't see it. Like I said he's decent, i just don't think he'll be a world beater. I could be wrong.

I think youte very wrong indeed.
VDV made captain by Di Zerbi. Not sure he would have done this if he were one of the 'problem players' looking for an exit.
Assuming Spurs stay in the Prem, VDV captain, Gallagher Vice captain me thinks.
Fair enough. I suppose we'll find out in a few seasons
So we played very well yesterday and the midfield in particular is getting all the praise it deserves. Just one match though.
With Maddison due back, Gray, Bergvall and Sarr as back up, do we need to be spending on midfield this summer? Or splaff our cash on the frontline?
Back five even looked decent yesterday. Kinsky looking first choice? Vuskovic and Danso good enough for next season, assuming the departure of Romero and VdV?
Where’s the money needing spent?

It looks like the pendulum has swung back in our favour. Nobody expected a win at VP. Helped by Villa resting their players for the semi, but whatever we'll take it.
Everything depends on the summer as usual. The club desperately needs experienced pro's that can play a full season. Basically a whole new forward line.

Having watched Bournemouth highlights, Alex scott is screaming to be bought to become club legend
Nothing against Gray, but Scott's essentially the player we shouldve signed instead if we were going for kids.Having watched Bournemouth highlights, Alex scott is screaming to be bought to become club legend
Bit older, bit cheaper, more proven in the adult game, had a defined position, fully COYS...
Maybe Gray becomes a star but 40m on an 18 year old just isn't great risk/reward imo.
Those comparing Gray and Scott need to take into consideration Scott turns 23 in August, Gray just turned 20 in March.
Scott has 77 appearances in PL versus 51 for Gray and probably most importantly Gray has played in a mess of a team and in defence at CB, RB and even LB while Scott has played at CM for a very good & stable team.
Gray, if we can give him the atmosphere to succeed, will be an immense player for us. We need to keep him and trust him under a proper manager like RDZ

Striker, left and right wing cover/marquee player, still need a proper progressive passer in midfield, fullback cover, potentially CB cover if one/both of romero and mickey leave, first choice/competition with Kinsky. The squad needs major work and overhauling despite us stringing a few good performances together
Gray was dearer but Scott has had his growing pains at Bournemouth too. It’s just he’s had consistency and a quality manager overseeing it. Think they would make a quality pair of 8s with an experienced No 6 spraying the the ball around and mopping up behind them.
I’ve said this a few times about Micky. He should have been dropped or moved to left back earlier in the season. It was obvious he was struggling with a huge drop in confidence. Trouble was, our squad building is so shit we had nobody competent to swap him for. I’ve never believed the nonsense written about him being a trouble maker, he’s just been in a bad place.
Looks like there is hope afterall to be in PL next season....
Regardless of what happens now, I want us to sign Troy Parrott as our no9, regardless of which division we end up playing. If he wants to come play for us either way, more than happy to have as our no9.
I can see him flourishing with De Zerbi as manager

Top Keeper and keep Kinsky……
Keep Porro,Udogie and Spence but get another left back as well.Romero goes, Dragusin goes, Vusovic in and another left sided in. Micky hopefully stays .
Sell Bissouma and Sarr, keep Bentancur,Palhinha,Gray ,Gallagher and Bergvall but get in another central midfielder as well.
A threesome of Madison,Dejan and Simon’s seems very good but all have got or had long term injuries so a new face might be needed, depends on if or how the former 2 go in pre season. Need at least a new left wing and striker. I’m not a fan of Solanke but Richy will be the one to leave. Tel to,stay,Kudus to stay. Odebert is still a long way off so can’t go at the moment.Thats a minimum of 6 players needed .
Think he's gone too early on this but if the rumours are true its pretty crazy to think we could sell Romero and Dragusin and not spend a penny in fees if we sign Senesi and bring back Vuskovic. Still not sure i see the logic in replacing an injury prone 33 yr old in Davies with an injury prone, burnt out 32 yr old in Robertson though.

If we stay up and WH go down I think we need to be all over Jared Bowen .
He's close to the sole reason they are still in the fight , he's always the guy in the middle of anything good they do .
I think he would be great for us .

100%, great player. Would be similar to when we signed Parker from them. A top pro with bags of experience behind him, but still with a couple seasons to give, who’d come in and make us all think “why didn’t we sign him years ago?”.
If we stay up, we need to be signing top players on both wings, no fucking about with cheap punts. Bowen for the right, and someone like Mitoma or even Diomande for the left, though I suspect he’ll have better offers. Bowen and Mitoma would do us just fine for a couple years though.
Depends on Bentancur, if he leaves we need another senior player in midfield. If he stays then we are good. Bissouma leaves but Alfie Devine should join the midfield group as well.
He's great but don't think Mr West Ham would come here, especially with Danny Dyer as his father-in-law.
Cursing himself to decades of awkward Christmas dinners and family meet-ups with that move.
Personally I think we do need 1 top class passing central midfielder. Needs to be somebody with every pass in the book in their locker, a modric regen.
A starting CB with danso and Vuskovic as backups.
Top left winger.
A striker.
Outgoings are far more important for me. I think time is up for quite a few of our squad. Vicario, dragusin, romero, sarr, bissouma, richy, kulu?, muani loan end.
8 out and 4 top players in with no europe would see us back near the top end.
Long way to go mind, we are not safe yet
