True but I’d rather a winger and striker over 2 wingers
I think you need to chill on the presumptions a little and focus on what my argument is not what you want it to be.
As I keep saying Eze is a specialist as an inside 10 where he's allowed to roam for Crystal palace and come infield, now unless Frank is going to setup exactly the same way when he's never played that formation in his life then I'm struggling to see where he fits.
He's not an out and out winger and we already have two 10's at the club so where does he exactly fit? This is why I'm asking the question by the way, it's very easy to pine after a good player but no-one really wants to think about his exact fit in the team.
And above all else, if we spend £60m on him and have gaping holes at 6 and at RW where we are in more of a desperate need to fill those positions then what is the actual point?
No striker there though, reckon we need one.
Inevitable. I think the expectation is that one of Takai or Vuskovic will remain at the club this season and the other will go on loan. Frank will decide which one during pre-season. Whoever stays will struggle for minutes behind Danso and Dragusin. Hopefully Romero stays as can't see us replacing him if he doesn't.
Can't understand why we gave Ben Davies an extra year unless it was just to demand a small fee from whoever wants him! Didn't do Ben Davies any favours anyway. Can't imagine he'll play any games next season! Although we do need to sign a left back!
Watching paint dry would be fun with Shady
Hopefully we can find good loan destinations where they can continue to grow
Tel was the marquee signing
Thanks Harry Vaginola.
Signing a French international from Bayern of Munich is GENERALLY considered a marquee signing, so...
i'd guess we keep richy as it gives levy another year to hope he isn't a complete bust

Pine - baby talk.
If Eze is available and an option I think we should go for him. If you and anyone else thinks otherwise that's fine.
I'll leave you however to you as you seem to know not just Eze's best position but also Frank and our spending power. No room for manoeuvre in your world.
Maybe it's you who needs to take some of the chill pills.
Yup and he's a massive upgrade on any of our other back up strikers (Scarlett, Veliz, Lankshear). If we sell Richarlison then we need to sign another striker or else we are leaving Frank short. Losing Son won't effect us too much as guys like Tel and Moore are already able back up who can effect games.
he's going to play on the left or centrally and be given freedom to find where he fits on the pitch and with his teammates. he's a top shelf player and we're going to give him a big platform to express himself. he will be in the preferred starting 11 over everyone we have now. is that a clear enough response or are you just going to keep going with your little contrarian dance?I think you need to chill on the presumptions a little and focus on what my argument is not what you want it to be.

Whilst I agree that the midfield needs bolstering, and Eze is definitely one to improve our creativity, I do think that our midfield is better than it's given credit for. In the correct setup and structure, I do think we'll see a marked improvement there.
There was an awful disconnect between our midfield and our defence this season gone, which I'd be absolutely shocked if we saw it again under TF.
