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!

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.I can't think of two worse players to give Frank to work with than Grealish and Rashford, both have lost their hunger and living off past glories both on stupid wages anyway, pointless.
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.

Did we not pay more than £40m for our right back? Not sure why we’d have a rule to not do so for a left back.Well yes I agree but in which case the story must be fake news as there's no way we pay above 40m for a LB
I'm not so sure Spence did improve under Ange tbh. He wasn't given a chance previously, but had shown at Forest, and in the few minutes he had, that he was very good. He tailed off a bit in the final 1/4 of last season. Very good player thoWonder how Reguillon would have performed under Frank? Spence improved under Ange.
Is Kudus a bigger player than Mbeumo or Eriksen?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
Agreed. He has real potential in that position. Sometimes need to play quicker IMORomero to play as DM!
With no links to a DM at this stage it's possible Frank will move Romero to play there. Personally I think he'd be a gun there, great tackler, good in the air, good passer.
Definite option IMO
Probably a good time to sell him, great player but we need someone who can play 34/35 of the league games a season.True.

Depends who though.
We did outbid Brentford for Johnson and Gray
Sell him and put the coin down on two of Mbeumo, Eze and Kudos, and wages. do it FFS !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
Grealish for a season loan is a very good shout IMOI 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
Don't the values have to be audited?They are massively overvaluing the properties in order to pump in their own money into the club. The football club wont realise those losses, they sold those properties . The sister club may have losses, but so what, it wont effect PSR.

We didn't finish 17th because of crap players though.The lack of urgency from the club after finishing 17th on 38 points is quite something..totally predictable but still![]()

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.We didn't finish 17th because of crap players though.
We've already solved that cause
