Injury hit season, and no creativity in the side for most of time he was fit, so didn't come anywhere close to the 20+ goal involvements he achieved last season.

But we need to replace Kolo Muani and probably Richarlison, so Solanke stays as we will not be buying 3 top forwards this summer who are productive in terms of goals/assists.

He should replace Richarlison as the backup but we will need a better starting 9 for next season.
 
Diouf is very much a one trick pony. He’s a blazing overlapping LB who’s a cross machine but the rest of his game is very raw. His defense is frankly just bad at this point, he’s quick but has very little fundamentals. He is not good in the air. He is hyper one footed and a bit of a liability in buildup. He is truly elite at his area of expertise: running down the by line and crossing, and that will make him quite a lot of money in his career. He will likely play for a CL team. But quite honestly, think Souza might end up being the better of the two.
 
The Kudus disrespect does my nut in.

He had 5 assists in 19 games.

The same as the following had in 30+:

Joao Pedro
Bukayo Saka
Jeremy Doku
Phil Foden
Declan Rice

He had more than Morgan Gibbs-White, Antoine Semenyo, Gabriel Martinelli, Yankubah Minteh.

If he had played 38 games at the same return he would have the been the 4th highest assister, behind Bowen, Cherk and Bruno.

How can you be an elite assister without passing.

Kudus will be a phenomenon when fit again.

Especially when De Zerbi gets his instructions into him.

All the above was done under negative nancy, Thomas Frank btw.

So that output was in a defensive side.

Watch what he does with an attacking one.

I trust RDZ to get the best out of him, players like him & Kudus can excite the fans.
Our creativity will improve vastly, whether we take those chances however, is a different matter.
Either way, we need more goal contributions from our attack. obviously our chances improve if everyone is fit.
I'd also argue that we need to give the midfielders more of a green light to shoot from far as well.

This happens less and less in the prem as a whole. And yes the chances to score are low but every now and then they slink in. See Gallagher at Villa.
 
Update from Prof on COYS.
_______________________________
A brief pre-transfer window update for the COYS faithful.

From Finch and Galahad: expectations within the club are that the Senesi and Robertson deals should be tied up fairly quickly. We are in negotiations with clubs and reps re half a dozen other players - first and second choices at 3 different positions, so our aim is to sign 3 of them (one for each position).

From Guinevere: RDZ reviewed the target list produced by JL and the scouting team. He approved most of them; he rejected a few based on lack of fit for the system he wants to play and/or him not rating the player.
 

Sign this guy and I'm not watching next season. It's unbeliveable the state of incompetence in this club, Jesus fuckign Christ, they are doing THE SAME SHIT AGAIN? For 3 season in a row now, or more, buying shite players for fees over 50 million, as if we hadn't seen that happen with Richarlison, Solanke and Johnson, is the same fucking history fucking again. Why the fuck can't we spend that money on decent players that are actually playing football like Mitoma or Scott? No, we have to go for a reject or spend on someone with blatant deficiencies on his game, like someone who can't control the ball or a winger that can't drible or beat his man. Jesus, it's so unbeliveable it must be deliberate, I can't stand that shit no more.
