Well Ange just made me look a mug in the press conference and confirmed that Kulusevski won't play striker again now that Solanke is here.

Says Kulusevski is an AM now really which means he is likely playing in the 8/10 rotation and we still sign a winger.
Yeah I would have no worries about Gray playing RB in the Prem. I think he's ready.
6 is a completely different proposition though. He has shown he's got great feet and is super technical so he should be able to learn the role over time.
I understand what you are saying but it’s obvious that 1) Solanke fits the system to a tee 2) He is always fit which is a big positive 3)he doesn’t have to be Kane he just need to score 15+ we have others who can chip in. To be fair they are not much forwards that scream marquee signing so all in all I really like this signing it’s not big but it’s smart
Has he ever really been a bad egg? He was late for training I think.
I doubt Ange would have gone out of his way to speak so positively about him and just throw him out now.
He wouldn't be my priority, but he'd surely get in our side over Maddison going on the last 7/8 months of form.
Eze clearly fills the creative attacking midfielder hole we have, either in terms of competition for Maddison or to replace him should he be off form. Dunno why anyone couldn't see that tbh
Yeah possibly, they are very different players tbh
Maddison is going and getting the ball off the back 4 and making us play. He is involved in a lot of build up and is very good at taking the ball and using his body to get away from players
Eze is much more of a dribbler and does most of his best work in the final third, but i dont see him playing out wide, he would be cutting inside constantly
Good to hear.Well Ange just made me look a mug in the press conference and confirmed that Kulusevski won't play striker again now that Solanke is here.

Solanke and Richy mean we have a proper number 9 on the pitch at all times.
I think the strategy was to just pack the midfield with the right profile and versatility. Outside of the perceived starters (Biss, Sarr, Madders) we now have Kulu, Bergvall, Bentancur, Gray who are all technical and very physical.
You could pretty much have any two from that four playing ahead of Biss and you have a strong midfield.
It's a world away from having PEH, Gio or Skipp come in tbh.
Yeah, I don't see us signing Eze tbh. We have loads of decent or quite good midfielders but none are top quality, near prime players with great passing ability. Maddison is the closest but he's just not played with the zip required since his layoff last season.
I can guess a few leaving but coming in?
What's your point exactly?
I doubt that Man City will sell Bobb unless some club offers them "insane" money - and that won't be Levy & Lewis.
Francisco Conceição, at 170 cm, may be a bit light-weight for the EPL - but one may argue that Bernardo Silva is only 3 cm taller...
Raphinha's on €240,000 a week and was offered much more money to join the Saudi league but he's stated he want to remain at Barca
Brajan Gruda (Mainz) is one I hope Spurs are keeping an eye on...For me it would be between him and Bakayoko.

Neither did Messi or Maradona. Or Bernard Silva.
When it comes to right-footed players, however, I never see comments about their left-foot being "weak"...
Yeah fully agreed and now that Kulusevski has played false 9 he’s got a better understanding (maybe) of where his goals can come from playing through the middle.
Really just a winger and a LB and we are in good shape
Then let’s get Lewis.
Vic will kill anyone in there with his stupid passes.
Well as my post suggests … I don’t rate Lewis … so not for me that one
Gruda looks good.
