Very disappointed

Good to hear this.
Ange does like players that link with others well.
All is very quiet regarding any incomings or outgoings. Even if we don’t get rid of a few I’d rather the club paid them off if that meant getting another couple in. Another couple of quality players added to what we have and we could be going places even as early as this season.
In saying that there is absolutely no chance we’ll pay off players

I haven’t saw enough of him to say that he’s like that every game but did play well that night. Has a good scoring record too. We must have someone lined up though.
I definitely take that point, about his off ball work, but I would just hope it’s something that can be worked on, as I don’t think he’s inherently lazy.
What’s Johnson’s off ball work like? I genuinely haven’t paid much attention to it.
Why not? Honestly?
I preferred you in Neighbors
I actually like our starting XI, the problem for me is the rotation options. We’re an injury away from a real drop off in quality.
We need another CB, I don’t like any of our options.
As far as the midfield goes, I think Lo Celso is an ok option for Maddison for now so another 10 shouldn’t be a priority.
We’ll probably still need another midfielder, there’s no guarantee that Bentancur will be match fit when he comes back. Also PEH might be gone. If Gallagher or Kalvin Phillips are available for decent fees, I’d take one of them.
And then maybe another attacker? Perisic and Solomon are ok I guess but I’d like to see someone with a bit more quality in case one of our forwards gets injured.

I think it's more of a difference in style and skill set more than one being more offensive than the other. I think Gio has a little bit more of an eye for creating opportunities and comfortable in tight areas, but Sarr has a quickness and proactiveness about him. Both can do well in the system but are just different players so can fit different needs.
Take away not selling Kane and i'd give it a solid 7/10 purely for getting Maddison in and a decent CB, If it ends up the sale of Kane payed for all our incomings thus far im giving it a 3/10
55m seems pretty damned expensive... I've never seen him play. He really worth that?
I think we have far more pressing issues than getting rid of Hojbjerg so I'm not bothered at all if we kept him. I think he'd be more bothered to stay than to have us keep him around. He can be plenty useful at times this season, which I cannot say for probably 7-8 others.

Nico W has a 40m release clause and 1 year on his deal....
Surely Brennan Johnson is more expensive and harder to do?
Also, Williams actually makes more sense as he's different to the other wingers or forwards we have.
another quite day, so as always he's some fresh inside scoops from the always reliable ITKS.
From COYS (Prof). I know some of you love a cryptic!
For those who like such things, a cryptic from Galahad:
"Hefty bid made for Jonathon David
Non-cryptic from another source: "Still plugging away to strengthen the CB position. Aim is to get in one more; possibly two if we can shift Sanchez or Dier."
And one more: "Would like both a winger and a striker, however the former is considered a higher priority. Although we continue to work on it, our top target on the winger list looks like he's going elsewhere. #2 has a release clause above our ceiling valuation. So we're moving forward with options #1 and #3 in parallel. All of them Ange-approved."

We've had a longstanding interest in David so doesn't surprise me one bit if we've put a big bid in for him.

He's had 2 mangers since Jose..... 4th year at the club rarely played for us......
There's a whole thread of GLC gripes and grumbles you can scour if truly interested.
But re game time - he clashed with Conte and got himself banished before finally getting a loan (last season or Jan before I can't recall).
Like I said tricky bloke in general.
"On brand".
