30m on Tel and 55m on Kudus. I think we may need to sell a player or 2 before we buy another. Bissouma maybe? Solomon?

Don't see many obvious picks.

Is vlahovic a good striker target? Juventus are a very negative football club. Could he score more in a team that actually bothered to attack?

Yeah, it's a head scratcher. By all accounts Thomas Frank is a Johnson admirer, but I can't see Kudus signing just to be a back-up, and according to Spam fans his preferred position is on the right. In fact, I've heard some of them say the reason he had such an indifferent season last year was that Bowen often played where he wanted to.

I like Johnson, but he's a one dimensional player. He's very effective at what he's good at (i.e. scoring goals and getting in position to score), but he doesn't offer a great deal else.

Unfortunately from what I've seen of him neither does Kudus. Combine both of their best qualities and you might have a very fine player, but seperately they seem a little underwhelming.

Could well see Brennan as CF. Would suit him.

Same reason why Dele should have played that role at some point - both of them are the types of players who are/were almost strikers-in-denial with their movement and skillset. Perhaps a Trequartista

You pretty much say that Kudus and Johnson are pretty much the same but combine their qualities would not make a very fine player but just the same player with same deficiencies.

Don’t see any mystery here …. BJ and MK will be our 2 right wing and them being chalk and cheese is positive imo

I think when the music stops Kulu is the odd man out …. I don’t think he’s got it in him to regularly challenge Mads as the creative midfielder and anyway none of that gets resolved until next year when he’s fit and playing again

So even less to ‘scratch one’s head’ over until that situation arises

Eh every time Dele played CF it was a disaster. Maybe as a second striker where they have positioning freedom and don’t have to deal with two center backs. But guys like this usually disappear playing as a central striker alone. Can’t hold the ball up and timing runs from deep and getting in the box is different than timing and positioning when you’re expected to be leading the line.
