More I'd say. Mateta, Eze, Sarr possibly, Wharton, Guehi over VDV probably, Munoz a different player but about par with Porro. Even Kamada would probably get a start for us rn given the injuries to Maddison and Kulusevski.

Been watching El Kannouss.
Took him 10mins or so to be visible in the game. He’s had one decent half volley which went just wide of the post.
He seems to have a role where he’s allowed to wander a bit. Playing centrally but popping up on the wings especially the right, where a few times he’s tried whipping the ball in for strikers to get their head on.
Doesn’t look particularly quick as such, he’s a bit of a glider, as opposed to a pace merchant. Certainly more of a passer than someone who’s going to be taking people on in one on one’s based on this, although at least once he’s taken a touch beyond an outstretched foot to give himself a bit of space.
Seems to be decent in terms of his technique, though he’s just taken a foul throw.
Probably harsh when this is one of the first times I’ve really specifically paid attention to him, but certainly seems to be in the ‘last minute budget option’ section of players for us should we go for him.

Who do you ultimately hold responsible for that?Eze is 100% not coming to us.
Palace are building something of some strength, and he is their leader.
Well done to them.
We are 5 places below then, wherever they finish as things stand
I've read he's in decline though?
People never learn. How many 17-year-olds can beat up a 27-year-old of similar size? His body was still growing and filling out last year, plus he had a nasty illness by all accounts.Yeah but the question was, when did he do well? He didn’t. He showed that he was no where near ready for premier league football. He was weak as piss. He needs to have a big season in Scotland this year. If he’s not cutting it up there it’s not looking good for him.
People on here thought we had a generational talent like Rooney on our books. Absolutely not.
I also think last season was disastrous for perceptions of how players and agents see us as a club. Yes, United has managed to get players to sign for big wages, but of course we’ll never do that.Why are people so hell bent on blaming Lange? He has been given an impossible job by levy, find top players, who no one else wants and are willing to play for less wages they can get at almost any other club, at some clubs double/treble the amount. Eze come to us for 100k a week or go to scum for 200k? Unless he unearths lesser known gems like bergvail, he has little chance of getting established players.
My big complaint about him is his inability to sell players, but suspect that may be a levy legacy issue, say all clubs are fed up dealing with him and his reported constant moving of the goalposts that it is just easier to shop elsewhere and basically boycott us.
Under a week to another final and the start of the new season with gaps all over the place as per usual, negligence yet again, will never change under this lot.
Nah he's still immense and I'd start him over the angry Italian manchild any day of the week.I've read he's in decline though?
Certainly world class a few years ago.
Eze is never happening. I'm just saying thats the only potential signing who might save the window.Levy isn't putting sixty million up front, he struggles to accept putting up sixty million over five years.
It wouldn't surprise me in the leastI think bald C knew the forest deal would fail and used it as a distraction....... im serious....
You almost sense a little bit in retrospect that our side didn't realize it was going to be reported as a done deal?I think bald C knew the forest deal would fail and used it as a distraction....... im serious....
Gold is nothing more than an apologist for the Club. He offers nothing new but a verbal replay of every game, the quips he has with or from the manager, and a gentle irrelevant dig at our transfer policy.
He will never risk his press pass or wrath of a manager of Spurs, he's just too afraid to state the truth
I just don’t think that’s true.Than three years ago sure, but Spurs, United, Woolwich and City all took big steps backward in terms of their point total with Villa, Newcastle and Chelsea collectively standing in place.
It's an extremely deep league now as of the competitive elevation of Villa and Newcastle and will be going forward, but nobody really hit the heights we've been used to seeing last year, Liverpool were just the least misfiring.
Standing pat with an excellent side proved to be wise (which has absolutely no relation whatsoever to Spurs situation and is absurd on its face to raise in that context, utterly laughable Levybot bullshit), but they didn't really improve.

Incredibly bizarre saga. I really can't believe MGW signed an extension.
