I wouldn't assess them until Frankball is starting to gel.

Fine, well argued tbh - still don't agree though
As you said it's academic because he isn't coming anyway...personally I was more excited with the Semenyo link and the current Kudus one.
We finished 17th so that's clearly up for debate. Most of our signings have shown nothing to suggest they are good enough.
Didn't Frank say "no dickheads"?
Well that's not true at all.
But how about you wait and see how our players get on with a competent coach.
We have hired managers who have won multiple titles all across Europe.
Where did that get us?
It's not up for debate tho, we are talking about players added and removed from the squad. Not the season outcome.
Since we finished 5th, our squad got stronger than Villa and Newcastle's.
If our injuries and EL priorities meant we finished in a fake position in the league, that has no bearings on where our squad should finish this season....assuming we don't have the same injury crisis and don't go as far in Europe and the domestic cups.
If we prioritize the league, anything less than 5th is a fail.
We don't have a single player with his talent.
In my opinion a better option for us than Eze. I didn't necessarily mean better i just said option in the position we need to fill.
He’s pretty basic - hard working , mid table striker
Can see him declining pretty quickly too, VO2 starts to drop at his age so the hard work and pressing will only decline from now on which is his best asset
Yup, unfortunately that's why he is going to chelsea.
If we were doing this deal it would have been further ahead by the time the news broke. Levy has never gone toe to toe with any of the other top 6 and signed the player. Inevitably he ducks out of any competition to sign a player against those clubs because he knows he's not in the same league as their owners and chairmen.
Get both
Behave yourself.
Romero is one of the best in the PL, if not Europe, multi Championship and World Cup winner. And Captained our side to our first European Trophy in over forty years.
And, he actually played more games last season than Micky.
If we ever had to lose one of them, then I would sooner lose Micky, who's overall fitness is still debatable.
Semenyo link definitely, would have been happy with him or Eze as they both have real quality on the ball. I’d probably have Semenyo as the top pick as he’s younger and great off the ball as well.Fine, well argued tbh - still don't agree though
As you said it's academic because he isn't coming anyway...personally I was more excited with the Semenyo link and the current Kudus one.
Not a fan of judging players on compilations but as you posted that kudus one a lot of those clips cut out after he’s beaten one player(he’s losing it after)and the majority of the others are him running with the ball infield with his head down. Is he more a natural winger than Eze then if that’s your after. He’s more likely to get in Maddison’s way than Eze because hes head down and holds onto the ball way too long and he’s massively lacking football intelligence.
I’d buy or loan both.
Also - statistical fact: All first time winners had previously won nothing.
(side note: he's actually won a cup with Denmark U17s, and won the playoff with Brentford - not that it matters when someone's determined to twist the narrative though)
This is based on what exactly?
Bergvall aside, who do you have in mind?
