Comparing those 4 to Vuskovic is missing the point entirely.
None of them have in come close to being called the best in their position in their requisite leagues.
Imagine the work my thumb put in typing it
That's because their opponents never had the ball.
Van Hecke
Romero
Senesi
Vuskovic
Very simple power rankings on all available metrics. Vuskovic has the highest ceiling of the 4 but he still has to prove himself at the top level. What is your power rankings of the 4 of them? I thought it was strikingly obvious.
Adam Wharton is the obvious solution but his injury record would give huge concerns. Especially given our own record of turning durable players into injury prone players. Almost feels inevitable that Wharton does his ACL on his first game for us lol
They are willing to take players on loan from time to time. They loaned Colwill from the Chavs in 22-23
ENIC have been absolutely let off the hook.
It is clear they are sh!t scared and now know the only protection to their investment is to invest on better quality.
We won't get the very best but a foundation will be laid to either sell or protect.
Last season was as big a warning as any seismologist would predict of a Richter scale, 7.5 plus earthquake.

Wait.
Wtf?
Should it not be about buying the best fitting players?
Or is it all about money for you?
Your post seems to be hinting that if we sign Senesi (who seems to be very much EPL proven and have the skills that we really need) on a free transfer... is less "ambition" than buying Senesinho that has 5 years left on his deal with equal skillset and equal fit with 80 million euros?
I do not understand that at all.
I'd be over the fucking moon if we can identify 6 tehcnically brilliant players that RDZ wants that are all free agents/ 1 year left on contract.
What should matter is the impact to the squad quality + how they fit to RDZ plans. Not how much money we spend/waste.

Agree. Wharton, for the money he would command, is a risk. Palace would be looking for 80 - 100 million.
He's not like Rice where he's robust and avoids injuries.

They absolutely have to do this. It needs to be a revolution.
They failed to heed the warning after Ange's second season. Finished 17th losing every week. The window we did last year was nowhere near good enough. Failed with Eze and MGW which proved disastrous for our season. Muani was a waste of space and Simons as our main no 10 signing was nowhere near ready to make the impact we needed.
Palhinha and Kudus were fine but nowhere near enough. Clear that our CB and GK area needs a reset also.
But really important we sign a 10, a LW, a RW and a striker too.
We need a whole new team really. Two 17th places in a row shows the team lacks so much quality everywhere.
Quite like the thought of being able to park the vans in place of the buses.
