Richarlison is so clumsy on the ball... upgrading him would be one of my priorities.

Any good strikers / CFs available?
And we wouldn't have gotten Kudus if West Ham weren't in the shite. Let that sink in.
But...Levy was clear about it in May: fuck off you mugs, I ain't doing shit to move the needle.
Richy isn't leaving.
Best we can do is hope he stays healthy and finds form
I'm sure we will push hard to move him on after the tour. It's clear he is not good enough even without the fitness issues.
When have we ever pushed hard to sell anyone?
#dealwithit
our pyramid has a low ceiling that's not changing and that's why it fell apart. serious football people want to keep growing and win and enic doesn't want to do that. it took hitting that ceiling again and again to figure that out but it's clear to all now.
yeah we've been pushing him on for years. But for this season with Champ league he'll finally give in?
we're just not going to take the bigger risks required to win. buying a ready made player for a big fee and then putting them on big wages for 5 years is much bigger risk if they don't work out than the younger players or older opportunity buys we make. we're not going to make the commitment on a player like rodrygo or even eze who may not work out who we'll then have to sell at a big loss and/or eat big wages. that's what big clubs do and it's not our business model sadly
Just tell him he won't be registered. If he wants to play at the WC he will have no choice but to leave.
Wrong assumptions here.
1) "we still have to pay stadium off" - increase from matchday + other (renting it out to concerts, NFL games, all the stadium tours, karting, skywalks, everything) income is LARGER than the yearly debt servicing amount. This is very long schedule + fixed interest on very low rate. So even during repayment period our spending power and cashflow are greater than before new stadium.
2) however you look at it, during Poch time "academy knocking on door getting in first team" was not really the case. He managed to truly bring through exactly Harry Winks during his 5 year stay. In that sense we need way better than Poch times. We were able to say fringe players for better money but that was most likely due to our performances being better thus players were more "in demand" back then. But purely talking about how academy players are getting through - with Poch time this has clearly improved not deteriorated. With his 5 years - Winks. Since his departure - Skippy, Tanganga, Moore.
Close the thread chaps, services no longer required...
Definition of not knowing first thing about football.
Or at least midfielders.
Could you point out exact times when Lenglet or Werner were top 3 players in it's position in EPL to make it comparable though...
Again, if we bought another CF and told Richy he would’t be getting game time in a WC year, you’d be surprised how quick his agent would find him a new club. But we don’t have that dawg in our leadership. They are not obsessed with winning. It’s always “what we’ve got is good enough.”
Yes and we still need more.
