The only defender that is absolutely 'irreplaceable' at our club is Micky Van de Ven imo. Romero is very good though on his day and at least worth £60m in today's market. If he really wants to go? Good luck!

The lack of urgency from the club after finishing 17th on 38 points is quite something..totally predictable but still

True. I'd like us to keep Romero, but if the rumours are true that he wants to go then it's for the best that we take £65-70m if we can get that. TBH I think it's a bit pathetic of Romero. Guy never proved himself in the PL.
 
Why on earth should we trust Frank? Has no history or experience of managing a big club, or big players

Why would players like Romero and Kudus who have won international tournaments buy into his maniacal, chewing gum rants? There’s a chance he gets the changing room onside but my instinct says there’s more chance of a Nuno / 10 game sacking happening
Is Kudus a bigger player than Mbeumo or Eriksen?

Probably a good time to sell him, great player but we need someone who can play 34/35 of the league games a season.

Providing we get £65m minimum I wouldn’t have an issue with selling him - we’ve still conceded loads of goals with him
 
I think Grealish is a good shout.
Genuine class .
Something you can never have enough of.
Going forward defenders aside we only have: Son , Maddison and Kulu.
The others are either unprovoked or lacking in technique..

Grealish often improved City when he came on .

So often last year the other team was better on the ball
Grealish for a season loan is a very good shout IMO

don't want Rashford. No way. Horrendous. Good player 2x a season.
 
A one season loan about 10m. Much less risk than 60m plus wages to Kudus who we are stuck with for 5 years if he is shit like last season. By then Odobert or Mikey might be ready.

Again no point hiring a coach who is known to get the most out of players if you're gonna sign over the hill players for him especially on a short term basis.
 
I think 38 points under Ange was a misleading points tally . However I think we are deluding ourselves if we think this squad it top 5 and CL campaign competitive .
I think we could have got 55-60 points max last season if everyone was fit . Son is on a rapid decline sadly so by the end of the coming season he is two years older than when we finished 5th . I accept a couple of our kids have further improvement in them though.
The big issue is , the clubs that the fans aspire to compete with and Levy pretends he wants to compete with have strengthened massively.

We are light years away from being competitive, meanwhile just like Nero, Levy fiddles whilst Spurs burns

Silly saying as the violin had not been invented when Nero was Emperor of Rome .

I want to win the CL and PL is him pretty much trolling the fanbase now .
 
We didn't finish 17th because of crap players though.

We've already solved that cause

:ange-arms2:
Made my feelings on Postecoglou and his coaching staffs abilities clear over the last 15 months and some players will now improve. But this squad lacks quality depth, leadership and losing doesnt hurt the majority enough, we saw that last season. It needs a lot of work. I like Frank but he's not a miracle worker. He isnt going to make Bissouma consistant or Richarlison fit or Son 4 years younger.
