I don't disagree but that player has to be the right player. United spunked 90m on Anthony..... Woolwich on Pepe, Liverpool on Darwin - Would you be happy if we spent 60+ mill on Johnathan David?

Is there a player you feel we could transform the attack that is available?
Think £60 M for David is a lot when I’m sure there are better options out there!
 
He’s not a finished product but there is a general assumption that all good young players get better (at a similar rate) and that’s not always the case.

There’s plenty that are like sess (or dele) and peak at 18-22 before injuries or limitations cause regression.

Not saying that will happen to Johnson but I haven’t seen football intelligence from him and that’s always a big concern to me because it’s not a skill players tend to just magically find.

From my POV. I think, not saying i'm right, that Ange sees Johnson as a ST/RW option.

I think Ange still wants wingers that cross/cutback rather than cut insdie. Son & Kulu are getting the benefit of the doubt for now. I expect changes if they can't provide services into the box.

Johnson - Right footed player that plays on the right
Gil - Left footed player that plays on the left.
Perisic - Left sided but good with both feet
Solomon - Right footed player that might prefer playing left but has played more on the right here.
 
The fact that David rumours are coming out when Lille want to get Orban tells you that they want to shift their star to get Orban in.

Considering they also brought Osihmen through, I'd guess Lille know a little about talent ID.
Are you saying we should get Orban rather than spend twice as much on David. Again a player who I don’t see much interest in but club want £60M. Fuck that just pay the €30M plus add ins for Gift. Looks a great prospect! It’s about time we put some faith in younger players.
 
Bissouma was a bargain. I’d be happy to pay 100m for another Bissouma as well. Sometimes you get bargains sometimes you supplement it with paying out. The bargains aren’t always available.

Is rice worth 100m? Probably not. But then Caicedo isn’t worth 115. I think he’ll end up England’s captain and Woolwich’s captain quickly.

(I’m not saying that if we had that money to spend I’d go and pick out Rice .. but I definitely wouldn’t be annoyed if we’d done it.)
Spam agreed fee fir kudus from Ajax for €41M. Not bad I’d have him in place of PEH.
 

If we do any business, it’s clearly going to be this lad.

Underwhelming, as it feels like another bet on potential as opposed to established performance. Not sure he’s in a position to really make the difference across the front three.

I’m guessing we’re looking for a deal where we can include players.
 
I do think Johnson is a much better player than Anthony Gordon at least, thank fuck we didn’t sign that. And if we can include players and offload big wages in the process, it’s a win-win.

Not convinced by him of course but if we can do something to rid ourselves of Dejan Kulusevski inexplicably being the first name on the team sheet and a penciled in starter at RW I’m in favour of it. How he has somehow cemented a nailed on starting role every week in that position is beyond me.
