Systems. Johnson played as the main outlet in a deep block and counter side. Mitoma played in a system far more like ours. As we are seeing, in games where we are dominating territory and squeezing teams back, Johnson's straight line running is pretty moribund. Mitoma's 1 v 1 ability to dribble at/past people when faced up could be extremely useful tool, against deep blocks. he's also better without the ball than Johnson.
Kvaratskhelia yes.
I've always been a fan of Leao since his Lille days, on his day he can be unplayable, but he does have days where he just isn't on it, and he's really fucking slack without the ball.
I like Mitoma. I think he's exactly what we need. Technically good, hard working, productive.
I’’m going to delete my post with yours embedded within so feel free to delete your post if you choose.
If you want to go on believing that we’re the third most profitable sports business in the world — except for that whole pesky buying a team thing — then I’m not going to be the one to burst that illusion. Sorry.
I like Solanke, but that's a lot.
Too add a contrary view!
Whilst primarily being a sport, football is also entertainment. Often the 'bad decisions' and controversy is what gets us talking with our work mates on a Monday morning.
Sure, its shit being on the wrong end of bad decisions; but it is also fun to wind up your mates when the tables flip.
Does making the whole game sterile also take away from the banter and unpredictability?
Of course, an incompetent ref is one thing; but a corrupt ref is another.
I like him too. He has the physicality that were missing. 50M is a lot, but not if we win the league.I like Solanke, but that's a lot.

I can’t see it being true. I would think it’s more likely he gets a bigger contract at Bournemouth.
Get out with Solanke.
Not got the necessary quality.

They might not be good enough
Neto recently came back after being out for 2 months with a hamstring problem
Top talent but far too injury prone to spend that amount Wolves would want for him.
There’s something wrong in people saying he’s shit and should be sold.
I agree with your last line though.
Why don’t you try phoning our scouting team and asking.
I still watch a wee porn when in a relationship ha ha
We're not the richest club in London, we make the most revenue not the most profit.
I knew some people would weaponise that click bait statement.
Well... I get what you mean, and I don't like to use this fact as weapon either.
But we ARE richest club in London BASED ON PREVIOUS YEAR financials. Our revenue is the biggest while our salary-bill is lowest of the big competitors. AND our debt is almost exclusively long-term WITH very low fixed rates.
Only chance how other clubs could be considered richer is if Chelsea managed to sell their loan-army-players for higher profit (and also Havertz-Mount sales impact).
That being said, with no European football and less matches as well, we will NOT retain that position for next financial year.
