would love rodrygo, hes close to being world class if not already is. dont think we have a chance of getting him tho.

theres players out there that massively upgrade us though, kudus looks like a very good signing, now do the same on the other flank.

agree about wharton, would love him. bentancur to me doesnt look good enough, id rather keep bissouma out of the two of them.
Throw 90 at real they won't turn it down its basically the wages although I don't think rodrygo is on alot compared to the others could be wrong

If we are thinking 80 mill at Wharton and 70 for zarbaryi I dont see why we can't
 
Levy needs to stick his balls on the table and pay what it takes to get Rafael Leao from Milan.

A proper LW will make us a proper team.

i can not see us spending 90m any time soon. thats a huge jump from our current record.

would love him tho, hed be a big player in the prem. i think hes underrated. hes a better footballer than vini and mbappe imo, hes just not as glamorous.

id take grealish! thats proven quality on the left, you wont get speed but you will get quality and someone who can make a ball stick.
 
We need a new left winger. I think we can see with Kudus what a difference that makes even if it's just preseason.

We lacked a progressive passer in the midfield pivot. Cuti ended up doing most of that first half, but I do think Gray can be that player for us. A stopgap might not be the worst option in the short term.

I'm still not sure about Vicario and Kinsky's distribution and composure on the ball.

The Tel signing just seems such a waste of money.

Fair enough. We will have to agree up until that last paragraph.
Bentancur right now as it stands is a nailed on starter. People are quick to judge from pre season and if I was the same id say he was our best cm today by a mile.
Bissouma I just don't get, I really don't. Can look great but always found wanting in the end.

Come on lads you can't judge Tel after shit show that was from Feb onwards when he joined. He wasn't match sharp, played for a coach who depending on which you believe threw the games that Tel played in or wasn't able to get the team to play in league and is still a kid. You don't get the move to Bayern like he did at 17 and be a starter for France u21 without having the talent. He certainly showed a great attitude since coming in.
Let's not write off a lad who has just turned 20. Let's see what he can do when he's actually coached.

na this aint from today, dont think bentancur has been good enough for a long time. bissouma isnt great but i think he will offer frank more. bentancur isnt particularly good at anything, at least bissouma does have bite and intensity in his game, look at him in the europa final, he went beast mode.

ideally we get someone in who is levels above the pair of them anyway.
 
Neither of our keepers would fill you with confidence. Kinsky, great with his feet, but came for a punch in the first half and made a mess of it. Vic poor with ball at his feet, can pull off some miraculous saves , but then needs someone like Vdv to save us in the EL final from another calamitous error. Probably not as great a priority as other areas in some people's views, but definitely needs some consideration.

We need them like that.

I’m not writing him off. See my post above.

to be fair that was kinskys only blunder in that first half i think? yea poor decision to come for that as he should know hes not gonna get near it as its too congested.

both of them need some tuning, both can be very good keepers though. vic is never going to be comfortable with the ball at his feet, youll have to adjust for that tactically, thats the issue with him.

Time will tell, we all see the game differently i suppose.
I think with how we setup in the 4231 under frank bentancur will fit perfectly. Yes we want somebody capable of more but bents knits it together well and I think he's a good all rounder. First half our left hand side where he played lcm was operating well he was keeping it simple when needed and playing forwards in a controlled manner effectively and we didn't suffer many turnovers especially from deep. I liked it.
