Or you know, actually winning a trophy
He plays off the left or in a ten. Hopefully Frank isn’t as rigid that he wants both his wide players to just always go down the line and put crosses in. He probably wants good players first. Good players and managers work things out as well. you might get a numerical advantage elsewhere if he drifts in and takes players out of the game, you get a full back on the outside, you get a forward running in the left channel, a deeper midfield run in the space that Eze opens up. Im more worried about how we look after the ball, and Eze is on another level than Kudus.Only if you're bounded by glitzy signings and don't take into account the where he actually fits in but yeah go ahead and urge the club to waste money I guess...
Yep the club will get the shock of its life when we sign Partey on a free
Still carrying that torch

He plays as an inside 10 in a 3-4-2-1 system, he isn't a natural left winger or a natural 10, we already have two 10's in our team
Also Eze on another level to Kudus, behave, the guy had purple patch in his last 3 months at Palace before that you had Palace fans saying that he was lazy and inconsistent, are we saying that a couple of months of good form is all it takes to clear other players or are we just perhaps over reacting a little to recency bias maybe?
RW is where we need an upgrade and cover most, not an inside 10 where we struggle to work out where his best position is in our team and tbh Kudus is more versatile anyway.
If Frank wants good players then he'll have no complaints about Kudus then.
Which would be a better wing? Eze arguably is the better player, but he tends to play more centrally. At this point I'd be happy with either one.

Most of what Eze did, in terms of goal scoring, came in the last 7 weeks of the season.
I get this....we've always admired from afar even when he was at QPR, the price was too rich for us then and so it is now.
In this era of amortisation for nearly £70m Levy has already crunched the numbers showing a £10m p.a. depreciation over 7 years and ending up with a 34 year old duracell bunny with rickets.
Also, buy out clauses being met mean absolutely nothing unless the target concerned is amenable to the move.
We took 59 points from the 38 games between the end of the post-Chelsea 9 man tailspin and the beginning of last season's injury crisis.
Not good form by any means, and a level at which we've sacked a number of managers, but we've been there or thereabouts frequently in recent years. Exactly 59 points in 2019-20.
And THEN the bottom really fell out and we took 19 points from Ange's last 26 league games (17 of the dreaded 22 losses) which he couldn't survive even with a European trophy and all of the excuses, and probably shouldn't have.
That three-part breakdown is a more logical way to look at the Ange era, imho.
But the same token he isn’t that great because of one season where he produced moments(his all round game was the same, selfish and trying to do to much) Wouldn’t be the first time a player gets overhyped by producing moments that people watch on the highlights. West Ham fans were starting to suss him out towards the end of that first year.
Yes, our recent win was fucking brilliant and, I'm still thinking about it.
However, strap yourself in, it could be another 17 years.
Well Levy then is the clouds.
The league the last few seasons is changing. We don’t have 4-5 good clubs, we have 6-7 of them. Liverpool, City, Woolwich, Chelsea are getting joined by Newcastle and Villa who are maxing their PSR each season to build up as their owners are rich.
Top 4-5 will require big investment and probably an increase in the wage structure of the club. If Levy expects Frank or any manager to cheap his way to top 4 he is a fool.
For what it's worth, that 23/24 season was largely just a mirage of outperforming xG (plus some goals against shit Europa League opponents, and as we know from the Brennan Johnson thread, those don't count)
There was not a real difference in underlying quality between the two seasons. A lot of successful dribbles and not a lot of end product.
