Didn't Ange say he wanted to win the league this season? I mean, not trying to sound kneejerk here but I think we might need a tad more than what we have if we want to aim for that lol.
Good grief!....
Whilst Maddison is slightly more creative, I don't think the difference is as big as you think.
Eze had an xA of 0.25 per 90 vs 0.27 for Maddison last season, but since Palace have shit strikers and ours are decent, Eze assists was only 0.18 v Maddisons 0.38.
Whilst Maddison has smashed Eze last season in thing like Completed Passes (51 v 30), Progressive Passes (9.44 v 4.47) and Passes into the Penalty Area (2.49 v 1.97), this is more to do with styles of play of the teams, as Maddison himself has had a huge jump up from his last 2 seasons at Leicester, as he was averaging 30 x Completed Passes, 5.23 x Progressive Passes and 1.19 x Passes into the Penalty Area, which is very similar to Eze.
Right winger only 24, Nicholas Kuhn from Germany
Bergvall wasn't, we literally couldn't sign him due to UEFA rules on signing players under 18 and his birthday was 2 days after the transfer window.
I wouldn't be disappointed if we signed Eze but surely we have priorities in other positions first.
Doue could well be generational, but the stats you're replying to mark him down as a central midfielder, which he clearly isn't.
Here are his stats up against wingers/attacking mids:
Still not bad but lots of work to do on his output.
Maybe he’s Donald Trump
No he wasn’t. That was the nose of God
Great post.
Assuming you're right about all this then I'd expect the vast majority of that cash to go on a striker and RW.
Toney for around £40m seems the most likely one to me. HG, Prem proven. Only question on when in the window it happens, might have to wait til after the season starts for Brentford to drop their asking price.
Regarding the RW, Neto would probably cost around £50m. Doue likely similar. Have we been linked with any other names? Bit quiet on that front.
That leaves £50m for elsewhere. I wouldn't be surprised if this is split between a number of £10-15m buys. Maybe this Hyuk-Tuah kid from Korea, and a back up #6 like Burger.
Which then leaves £30m odd for the LCB/LB back up, maybe this Locko chap. Sounds about right. Then reintegrate Spence at RB, promote Devine, Moore, and possibly Phillips to the first team squad.
For me this all would appear to rule out a signing like Eze, I don't see how the club could justify such a large up front spend in a non-essential position when there are other, far more important spots to fill.
Unless, that is, we manage to sell Richy to the Saudis. Get that deal done and that changes everything.
I think you're right. And consequently I don't see us finishing much higher than we did last year.
How many matches this season do you think Porro-Gray-Skipp-Donley start as our back 4?

I just split the 97M that you had into 47M solid and 50M speculative. The 50M was the four that you had ? against.
