It looks very poor recruitment to be honest. And it's not hard to have worked out some of these young players could have been loaned out a good 3 weeks ago. Just all seems a mess again to be honest. You can tell it's a do what u can season for Frank.

So Frank wants to give Odobert the chance to replace Son
Bit like Richarlison trying to replace Kane
This club....
The club wants Frank to give Odobert or Tel the chance to replace Son.
Frank has seen them both in pre season and will probably start Odobert LWF whilst using Tel more at CF
Ali Gold gets fed lines from the club.
There were only about 4 players that had working legs last season tbf.
Exactly, Romero isn’t signing a new deal so he’s probably agreed to sell him next summer but like we did with Richarlison, the attempt to sign his replacement will be done this summer.
My bet is the Van Hecke rumours end up being true.

Frank talks about players being 'robust'. Odoberts not proven to be that so far in his career. A couple of game weeks of having to play significant minutes and hes injured.
Re Maddison if we bring someone in how is that standing still?! Do you think we should be bringing 2 no 10's in? If we do that what happens when Maddison (and Kulu are back)?
Maddison when fit and playing well has a high output but that happens too little so there are players out there who will contribute more over a season then he has.
I never mentioned Danso as the report said we wanted another CB so that we have 4 starting quality CBs.
My point was and is, if we end the window having signed Kudus, palhinha, a CB good enough to start and also a no.10 good enough to start that is a min of 3 improvements to the starting 11 from last season.
Not the point and every time anyone makes a valid point about the squad deficits, the Ange excuse gets wheeled out. It’s fucking boring and nonsensical.
Was a bit of a joke mate
And none of that joke was also to do with the clubs cheapskate approach to recruitment?
Do me a favour
When it comes to fucking boring and nonsensical I think there's only one winner here. Have a nice day buddy.
Its not even that good
Dragusin is injured, an unlikely to be back until November - at which point, he won't be ready for the hectic Winter fixtures.
Takai will be loaned out I expect.
So, that 3 CBs....two of which are made of glass and break after 12 games.
By November we will have 1 fit CB, and It'll be Archie Gray to the rescue!
Anything else you know about Levy's mind?
We shouldn’t be surprised really, should we? Nothing will ever change whilst we have this owner. It’s always “just do enough”, “can we make do”?
Playing Ben Davies at FB in 2025 should be a sackable offence really.
Jay Harris has just written the same and he and Ali were the only two beat journos on tour, so this was obviously the line they were fed.
We’re such a poorly run club, it’s untrue.

He didn’t quite say that, he said it will take time for them (him and the recruitment bods) to be in total harmony like he had at Brentford where he’d been for a few years.
If anything, it sounds to me like Frank is already having a big say in what/who, and it sounds fucking worrying. Davies? Bentancur? Ffs.
that he's a cunt
I'd have kept both around and given them minutes.
