Yup
If Reguillon kept 3 and Udoogie wanted it, that's a bit silly imo.
Would have been a perfect excuse to let Regui know it's time to move on.

I love this
Just means I can use it in arguments when people talk about our spend in the ENIC thread
Height I don’t think is a big deal, but you definitely need real core strength and strong legs and hips in the premier league. Really not convinced by Orban in that regard, has he really got enough presence to withstand pressure back to goal and on the turn? not convinced he does and don’t think it’s something that just comes with time. He’s 21, how much more development on the physical side can you expect. if he had elite pace I could see the appeal but it looks like pace is just okay compared to other PL players.
30 mil seems like a massive massive risk to me. Think there’s smarter ways to spend that money
I’m sure he knows already..
It all comes from last season table goals conceded.
OK Reg and Dier won't play, who will play? Neither Davies or Sanchez are world beaters, haven't seen VDV so have no opinion about him.

The problem with the “three at £40m each” plan right now is our already huge squad. Otherwise, I’d be right on board with you.
For the argument of low success rates, yes, our largest signings haven’t really worked out, but we are only getting these players because the really top clubs don’t want them, yet we are still paying a premium.
Spending nine figures is always going to be a risk, but it can be calculated. Rice and Bellingham being examples of almost guaranteed quality. Enzo Fernandez being a huge punt on a player who has had a decent season or so.
Have you seen him play? Core strength he has and super speed and obviously an eye for goal... His last hat trick shows, 1 header, 1 left foot strike, 1 right foot strike... Look how he got into the positions to score the goals, then tell me he's not got core strength
But hopefully we don't run out of gas and sub on kids at 70min in every game.
True, but that's the problem with issuing squad numbers for the season almost 3 weeks before transfer market closes - and we can't issue temporary numbers as anyone buying the shirts in next 3 weeks would rightly complain if he shirt they buy doesn't have the 'final correct' number on.
Looking at the list I'd suggest only Lloris and Ndombele are almost certainly not going to be in the final squad - and those 2 numbers could be re-allocated.
But after that its not clear cut which players will not be here and numbers can be re-allocated - players such as Reguilon, Hojbjerg, Sanchez, Gil, etc.
And I'm not sure who will be our major RB - Emerson or Porro, so do we piss off one of them by giving them the vacant no 2 shirt ?
I'm guessing that next summer there will be a more major clearout of short numbers, arising from transfers out this window, next January and next summer.
Very much so common sense, but I did note this line from him:
"you don't need to always spend at that top end"
While you don't always need to - fuck the Chavs and their strategy as an aside - you do or at least might need to some of the time. The big question mark now that Levy has gotten a manager in, who speaks common sense and isn't banging on his door to spend, spend, spend.....has Levy learned anything?
Has he learned after not backing Poch at the right time? Common sense is all fine and good, but if we build towards something this season, and Ange knocks on Levy's door next summer and tells that there's this one player, or two players, beyond what we normally spend that would transform the team, will he listen?
The table is damning, the team need to replace somehow the 30 out of 70 goals scored by HK and find a way to defend otherwise much worse than P8 this season. Table doesn't lie.

You don't replace 30 goals from Kane with 1 player.
you replace it by playing a system that isn't entirely designed around 1 man scoring.
Why? Just as an example, okay everyone knows, we're looking to move Sanchez on...if circumstances allow it. Take away his number 6, you're SCREAMING to the world that we've lost ALL faith in him, that we100% want a replacement instead of him, and we'll get our pants pulled down by interested clubs.
I didn't say 1 player, yes may be a system, I did say the team. But worries me because Richy, Son and Kulu are not playing well enough to contribute. Maddy can bring in 10 PL goal if goes well hopefully,
The season hasn't started yet. we have no idea how well they are playing.
We can only go on last season. But if they play like the season before, Son will score 30, Richy 20 and Kulu 10, happy days.
Probably the same as you just going by clips. They are obviously just the highlights of his season. Most of these compilations look great for every player. If I remember correctly that hat trick doesn’t show much in terms of core strength. Just a tap in following in, a header from close in unmarked, third goal was a good goal but it doesn’t show much in how that would transfer to the premier league. I will say he looks to have decent balance and strikes it well of either foot. 30 mil is a massive risk.
Let's just see mate... I hope we will buy him and risk it.... The main thing is 3 points today at Brentford... I'm optimistic at the moment coz at keast we going to be playing decent football.... Baby steps
Wonder if they look at Tapsoba
