Upgrade the bench by upgrading the first XI.
E.g. If we buy a better cm than PEH, PEH makes our bench stronger.
Yep that works.

So what was he angling for the last 5 years when he's done nothing of note for that period?
Bottom line is - he will improve us and is within our budgetSo what was he angling for the last 5 years when he's done nothing of note for that period?
Why has he spent years floundering at Villa, Middlesborough and now Wolves? Why have Europe's top clubs shown fuck all interest in him?
Could it be they know he's a just a shit pace-merchant with fuck all end-product and very little footballing ability.
How did city win a game between wolves and mantud?!!
Manure won it with one goal. Traore had no goal involvements and was replaced on '87. Varane got the assist.
Yea i remember watching that game. Traore did create a few chances in that game though. Some podence character made a real mess of every chance they had.Manure won it with one goal. Traore had no goal involvements and was replaced on '87. Varane got the assist.
7 goals in 151 appearances, and only 2 in his last 75. Only 3 assists in his last 50 as well.
Not really. I think you are moving puzzle pieces around to suit your thinking. Regardless of "who replaced who" technically, none of the players that have been part of our recruitment process are better than the players that preceded them.
And since you are being pedantic, Davies was our Rose back up that became first choice when Rose left. He's still there, in a different role. Reggie was signed as first choice left back. He's not better than prime Rose.
Aurier was signed as a first choice right back. He's not better than prime Walker. Royal despite his energy has not shown to be better than Aurier yet, despite being better defensively.
Romero has shown none of his Serie A form and is way short of prime Toby. You omitted a Jan replacement.
Sanchez was signed for competition in the team and despite arguably being our best CB in recent weeks was way short of value.
On no planet was Ndombele signed to be Sissoko's replacement. Especially when Sissoko was still here and playing more games. He only left last window.
Lo Celso was signed to replace Eriksen. He has not.
Hoijberg was signed as a DM. Winks was playing there, you are right. But that's because we never replaced the Dembele/Wanyama axis.
So again. Everyone we have signed for the first team has not improved anyone that was already here. Save maybe Lucas.
I think you have your understanding of what constitutes a competent first team player mixed up. We have not replaced those players adequately, however you want to dress it up.
Podence got motm but never looked like scoring!Yea i remember watching that game. Traore did create a few chances in that game though. Some podence character made a real mess of every chance they had.
Run half the length of the pitch and beating dozens of players and score...,? No one does that more than and odd few times in their career even Messi don't do that anymore.
Maybe the problem is that he wasnt developed for an actual position.
Not sure it was dozens of players. It was 2 v Chelsea and if you look closely he only actually took it past 2 or 3 Burnley players. Both great goals but one from 2018 and 2019 so not like last week. He needs to open his legs a bit more regularly but seems a bit down on confidenceRun half the length of the pitch and beating dozens of players and score...,?
