How Dry should our Powder be?

I think he means for our CFs we gained more selling Kane than we spent on Solanke, he didn't mention the total of last season's net spend in his post at all.

So it's not a lie.
Does the money we got from Kane go into a special jar reserved only for centreforwards?

Last summer the money we received from Kane was immediately spent AND THEN SOME on other players. That money didn’t exist this summer.

But I will admit it’s a less clear cut lie than the 5 or 6 other times he’s repeated the lie and I was quick to get at him.
 
Yaser Asprilla is fucking incredible and imo we have to make an offer for him sooner rather than later. Our former chief scout brought him to Watford so we have to be aware of him. Michael Olise 2.0. Better than Bakayoko. Better than Kulusevski very shortly. Mohamed Ali-Cho is also better than Bakayoko.

As for a winger I’m increasingly convinced that we should raid the former City boys playing abroad… Bynoe Gittens or Mebude, Vuskovic’s teammate at Westerlo. Just watched some of his tape. One of those two is our long term Son replacement, capable of playing in a high possession EDS City side, but also 1v1 dribbly specialists. Anyways, there’s value here just a matter of if we’re willing to take the risk now that Neto/Eze are off the table.
Just seen a few clips on Asprilla, I watch a fair bit of championship ,not sure how I haven't seen him before but he looks a great young player. Will be tuning into Watford a lot more now for sure.

Cheers for that

Another one like Palmer who City didnt really want to lose. He'll be the next one sold for big money from Dortmund. City may even have a buy back clause potentially.

Asprilla looks good, one to keep an eye on for sure.

Why the hell are the bin looters so optimistic? They have signed no one and have aging key positional players.
also, chavski supporters seem pretty on the money.

It was just a comparison for money exchanges for two CFs. like for like positions.

Nothing more to it than that, anyway it's not my argument, I was just trying to help you that's all.
 
Ange in the embargoed section still says he thinks attack needs improving. Whether he means through work or transfers. He says Solanke does that, not sure if he wants more but I would suggest so.

Assume it would there was a stat in an athletic video that showed we have no wide players who are elite at takes on. Recommended Bakayoko, probably why we wanted Neto. Its easy to see how we lack a wide play whose general play is top draw (dribbling, pressing, linking), makes us unbalanced.

Mohamed Ali-Cho was linked to Spurs last January...
