In fact Kudus is a very good player also, his value dropped because of West Ham bad run of form, but I think he's a better player than Semenyo and Mbuemo and probably the same level as Eze.

I'm SUUUUURE the same people slamming Kudus won't laugh at Spurs when Chelsea pip us for him.
I won’t. I’d be happy though and surprised. Chelsea or anyone good in fact won’t buy Kudus. I’ll have a bet on that. Other clubs are a bit more wise. He’s really not very good. A reel player that more often than not over does it, he’s selfish and doesn’t see the bigger picture on the pitch. was hyped up at the start of last season. It’s mad to me that people would have him over Semenyo for example.
 
- A left-footed right side plays is our biggest need.
How about a LCB? LB? DM?
- Kudus raises the technical ability of the squad
What a feat. So would Elton John.

- He still has untapped potential
Let someone else cough up 60 large for that angry kid.

Also........

Brennan started fewer games, played fewer minutes...still scored twice as much and registered as many assists. His conversion rate is three times that of Kudus, and they create as many big chances for their teammates, though Kudus is the better passer overall.

Johnson attempts fewer dribbles per game but his success rate is nearly that of Kudus.

The pikey also contributes more on the defensive end but seen how poor/lazy Johnson is on that side of the ball, it ain't saying much.

So yeah, what a massive upgrade. Take my money now.
 
Unless you are a United States citizen, a permanent resident thereof or consider it to be your long-time primary home you won’t even be considered.

I actually have written a novel, I was most disappointed to find this out as I thought I'd be a shoe-in if I ever manage to get it published.

It's the Booker Prize for us I'm afraid. Oh well, think of it as the Europa League to the Pulitzer's Champions League status.

:angecup:
The Booker Prize is better as it is broader in its reach, although its main focus is on fiction.

Schindler's Ark, for example, is a Booker Prize winner and is one of the best novels I have ever read. Written by an Aussie no less.
 
I’ll say it - Eze would be a waste of money. Not worth 70m to us.

28 years old. We are stacked with LW. Not 70m worth of improvements at CAM.

Money is much better spent elsewhere. Kudus is a better signing because we’re weak at RW and he’s strong there plus a better dribbler than Eze.

He turned 27 yesterday mate

And the bottom line is just that he is a better footballer today than any of the attacking alternatives we've been connected to.

Probably the best player in the Premier League not playing for one of the 8 mega-money sides? Perhaps even the best not in the Big Six? (Isak I guess)
 
Is he a lesser/riskier player? He comes across as a massive bellend for W Ham but talent and end product wise he’s pretty similar to Semenyo. Whereas Eze’s best position is a position we’re already stacked in and his fee needs hefty repayments. For context, Chelsea are paying multiple deals over 7 years whereas Eze would now reportedly be over 3.

I would love us to sign Eze but it won’t fix our left hand side or right hand side issues. We’ll ideally still need a left and right forward which let’s face it, will never happen.
It's not about Eze vs Kudus.

It's about a club that's the 9th richest in the world, highest paid chairman, most expensive ST, most expensive stadium build, finished 17th with 22 defeats, nearly lost to Tamworth etc etc doing the right friggin thing and acting like a big club. Especially when Kim Jong Levy says he wants to win the PL and CL.

It's not about slamming Kudus - kid had a terrific first season and an okay second. I don't even give a shit he's West Ham and was a cunt a la Matty Cash/Yates against us.

It's about not wanting to spend 50 or 60 mil on him just cause the pikeys are in the shit...and wanting us to sign someone one or two levels above. Same as with Tel really.

Like I said earlier, imagine who we could sign with that 80-90 mil plus their combined wages. But we always go for quantity over quality.

Let's not even talk about how poor Mikey Moore & co aren't gonna get mins cause our Dear Leader prefers foreign imports for commercial purposes.

I think any potential candidature on my part is probably wishful thinking at this stage.

Now the follow-up, which I've just started, that's another story, in a very real and meaningful sense.
