Steal a wage for year, not contributing (or able to , as big ange found him out thank god), being a sour puss about it so he can leave for free not caring he wont play at all ALL SEASON.

I wanna see Big ANGE do a Big Uncle Phil on this 🤪

Really cant understand why we didnt try for a Jonathan David, Vlahovic or a cheaper punt on Orban. If we dont and its not looking likely the sooner we move Son up front the better. If Richarlison is going to play it has to be wide left, he just isnt a very good centre forward.

Reckon Richy's chances of success in this system are much greater at CF than LW.
 
True but Johnson has got very similar traits to Bowen, who now seems to be flavour of the month. Neither are going to be Son or Bale level anytime soon but it doesnt mean you cant be a good, effective player. Woolwich should have won the league last season with a load of good but not brilliant players like that.

Bowen’s just alright. Wouldn’t even have him in the England squad. He’s better than most RW’s in the league ( he hit 12 goals 10 assists without pens once) but I wouldn’t want to pay a big fee. Better than Kulu for sure to me but not a 80-90m player or whatever.

I dunno about Johnson. He’s really quick but never seen much more there. Scouts know more and if it’s genuinely true the manager wants him then sure, back the guy. I haven’t seen enough of Forest or watched Johnson specifically enough to be that informed.
 
And let's not forget Royal could also cover the right sided CB role. Not ideal, but at least we have options outside of Dier/Tanganga should Dav go and we don't get anyone else in.

Emerson def > Dier & Tanganga for me.

Reckon he's gonna evolve into a very useful player for us in the coming seasons.
 
I doubt that he has —
But he’s always been capable of some very good games defensively. He’s quicker and more athletic than Dier or Davies.
The problem has been that he’s inconsistent and not very good at carrying the ball out PLUS he looks far worse when he’s been asked to cover LCB.
It was the Barca game, I think, where his passing was actually quite good and he carried the ball with confidence. One game, granted, but maybe there's more to him under the right manager? That being said, he only has a year left on his contract, so if we keep him, we'd get nothing back for him. But barring any other incomings, it might just be worth it.

Just will never score enough imo. I get that we're not going to be finding a 30 goal striker anytime soon but a CF at a hopefully top 6 team needs to be getting 15 to 20. We know Son can, Richarlisons best season was 13. I'd prefer him as a hard working nuisance on the left, chipping in with hopefully 8 to 10 goals.
 
We tend to win when Richy plays #9 though.

Can't fully explain it myself but it happens.

Did like Son up front vs B'Muff.

I can.

Correlation not causation.

Suggesting anything else wouldn’t stand up to the slightest bit of statistical analysis. Richarlison has just happened to be on the winning side a lot just like Bale just happened to be on the losing one during that freak run.

He’s not doing anything to cause these results, thus the easy conclusion is that it’s just a statistical oddity.
 
west ham paying whats needed for kudus

we have never done that straight up and more often or not it takes us centuries to barter

is johnson the best we can get i like him but there are better out there

kanes gone and richie is the replacement who can honestly tell me they are happy with that but it looks damn sure we are persisting with him for the season

Kudus has a release clause in his contract and was always leaving Ajax since the Brighton move broke down, stop being a melt for once.
