With 5.65m in his pocket. KFA is full of idiots.
I think a new contract is a wrong move don't care for neg reps we need to get the replacement in for both the left and right wing
He wasn’t on it today and made Davies‘ life harder a lot of the time. Still obviously better than Werner who certainly doesn’t feel like he‘ll revitalise his career here so not sure what other options we have st the moment
I actually think Ange should start both of them upfront now. The front three is not working for sometime, how about having a strike partnership between them, and have traditional wingers coming in. The issue has always been wingers not providing enough for the striker. Even if Kane is playing in place of Richy, he will not score because he will come deep to collect the ball.
Then, when that strategy fails during a game, it's often a case of 'oh, he needs to move out to the wing; he's too isolated in the center.' This pattern repeats itself.
Unfortunately, none of our front three are typically suited to Angeball. But at least we'd have our best finisher playing in a position that requires finishing.
So you'd play with 2 CM's?
Vic
Porro - Cuti - VdV - Udo
Sarr - Rod/Biss
RM/RW - LM/LW
Richy - Sonny
I guess that means pushing Madders to the left wing, cutting inside...but then the danger is he'd occupy the same space as Udo.
Who plays on the right wing? I've always felt we should try Porro there and play someone else at RB.
Be nice to sometimes see us play 3 at the back so we can get an extra attack-mindrd player on. Might help vs low block like today...
Extremely poor today, one of his worst matches in our jersey. Against the low block with 5 a t the back he really struggles out wide, seems to have lost that bit of pace to outstretch a defence or the belief to do it. His constant coughing up of possession is a major worry, again another player not helped as being part of a front line that is completely misfiring.
should be benched any time we play Wolves
Gives -4 / 10 performances every time we play against them

He can no longer beat his man on the wing, and if he isn't going to cut in and try to shoot (don't think he attempted a single one of these yesterday), he's useless on the left.
Timo on the left is a less than inspiring option but Ange may need to try him and Kulu on the wings, with Sonny in the middle. Harsh on Richy, but these are the difficult decisions Ange will have to consider.

Ferdinand inadvertently nailed that place when he was gushing about the "glamour & glitz" of PSG........
The ultimate soul-less, hipster club.... More of a fashion statement than a football club.
.........Anyone that opts to go there when the world's biggest clubs come knocking is a wrong'n.
I think he still CAN beat his man on the wing. But why he never tried after first 15 minutes is surprising.
In Wolves game he was one of the weakest links obviously. But I would not write him off from the wing just yet. In the same game he would have been even worse in the CF position. Everyone who suggest pushing him there would have solved the problems - please answer me this - WHAT WOULD HAVE HE DONE IN PLACE OF RICHIE?
Richie played a lot of one / two touch football there, between number of Wolves defenders, while physically holding them off. I have a doubt Sonny would have even got those touches in. Playing in crowded central areas against low block is just not his game. He needs room to run into. Wolves never offered that.
So I would honestly want to hear from the group wanting to push him to CF - what would have been better in such scenario?
