Anybody think what will happen to Scarlett if we get the gift in . Also think Sanchez will leave as said in summer he wants to play games now and few premier League clubs interested in him. He's one we might actually get decent money for also. I think most the deadwood will be on loan again can't see us getting much money for the rest nobody seems to want to take them at all. I mean the likes of Reggie and ndoumble.
 
Vicario just looks a bit chaotic at times, I think we should move Forster to number 3 and get a solid pair of hands as #2.
Whiteman injured anyway, so makes sense from a squad perspective too.
Yea that’s fair. I’ve actually got no clue how Vicario will turn out. I’m hardly knowledgeable about GKs but I’d imagine it be quite unlikely for him to have completely fluked last season, although his ball deflecting looks like it’ll cost us a few this season.
 
This has all happened in six months. They will have a clear strategy and objective, they aren’t just blindly spending with no goal. The CL makes sense

They have unlimited money - they will pay player £1M per week, the differential is so vast that they will go when they are in the CL. Might not be a bad thing for us as a club tbh
They'll be subject to FFP, though. They can't sustain this level of spending even under a modicum of FFP. No one gives a shit about the Saudi league for them to be able to have any kind of significant commercial revenue. The only workaround might be for some Saudi network to offer some crazy TV deal worth billions a year.
 
12 months ago, £60m for Vlahovic would have seemed like a bargain.

In times when Caidedo is going for £115m then it still seems like a decent price to me.
I don’t give a fuck the chavs are doing with their back door Saudi money.

You might be right about the price but..

We don’t have 60m to spend on a striker when we have more pressing places to spend limited funds

Vlahovic would come in and also get limited touches because that’s the role in this team and we would all be saying we spent 60m and he isn’t Kane
 
I still think our spending will be modest from this point on.
Currently around +£50m net spend with no obvious signs of significant sales coming

Yeah which is more than possible. All I’m saying is how surprised I was that PL clubs see this as a threat via CL entry but it actually makes a lot of sense.
 
I'm far from convinced that Richarlison, Son and Kulusevski will muster 31 goals between them this season

We desperately need to inject some real quality in the final third
I agree with you on this. One thing evident is we lack genuine pace in our front three. There’s nothing explosive about them. Deki could easily go in where skipp played yesterday because he is strong and more creative and pace isn’t as big a thing in that position. Sonny needs space to run into and if we are going to dominate the ball we will find teams sitting in against more often so that explosive burst of pace over 5 to 10 yards is needed and I don’t see that in him now. I think he’s fine pace wise over 20 to 30 yards. Richy is very one paced too and the likelihood he isn’t the answer.
Orban is the type of player we need and Vlahovic is the central focal point with a bit of fear factor that we saw missing yesterday without Kane. We aren’t far away from being a very good side but getting that front three right is massive for us.
Look at Newcastle,Utd,Liverpool,Chelsea and even Villa,they all have really quick front players. We don’t.
