I think Drag would be fine in a more defensive system that Frank employs, we will be more organised and compact.
Let’s face it, Maldini and Baresi would look shit in anges non defensive system.

Fucking hell...you did it . I didn't think I could get less enthusiastic about what lies ahead. But damn you just killed me. Lloyd Kelly.
Lange wouldn't know. And he doesn't care.
"Hey Mr Levy, look, I got a transfer done for reasonable money. And he's from Barcelona."
Ederson is #6.
I do really like Palhinha but I would have preferred Ederson between the two.
Now we signed Palhinha as #6. So that is done and Ederson was not the pick.
Now we need CREATOR not a destroyer and defensive shield. Ederson is not at all that player.
Osimhen was always the answer.
This is going to be another hellish season
Strap in everyone
Totally agree
I don’t mind the likes of Odobert as he spent most of last season injured and we haven’t seen him on a proper run. Of course if he spends all of this season injured too then fine we need to fix it, but he needs a chance to show his worth. However when you have someone like Son who leaves, you simply have to replace them with true out and out quality, it’s not enough to hope someone like Odobert comes good. You need a ready to go player with a top level about him and let he and Odobert fight it out and cover all competitions.
Tel, tbh I haven’t seen what it is that made us sign him yet, looks another tidy, neat… but fairly ineffective player, but I hope he proves that wrong this coming season.
I think we’re absolutely crying out for a top level leftie to replace Son, a LB as Udogie doesn’t seem to be able to remain fit for a season, and the biggest hole currently is the attacking mid. I think Palinha is fine to shore us up, I actually like Bentancur, Sarr and Bergvall (I just don’t think it works having those three together as a midfield) but we are missing a huge piece when Maddison is out.
Our front three won’t really strike fear into anyone but it seems to be what we are going with, it’s going to need service and I feel that without Maddison that just doesn’t exist. Hopefully Kudus adds something from the right, but even then that’s one person to hang your hat on all season.
We are just so SO poor in transfer windows. We love referring to ourselves as a big club and pretending we’re at the top table but in truth, we aren’t even in the room.

He was far from finished he set the Prem alight . Sadly he left for Bayern not exactly the trajectory for someone who is past it .
My perspective is just fine , but thanks for caring
.....The player isn't.
The no 10 is the top priority for me and then a CB.
LW and LB we can probably make do this season? Ideally I'd want a LB and LW too but realistically we are only getting 2 more player tops.
10 should be next in after the Madison injury then I would go for a CB as the last 2 seasons injuries to VDV and Romero have derailed our season and I'm not convinced they can go relatively injury free this season
Damsgaard signed a new long term contract this year so he will be very expensive
I read somewhere that Paqueta wants to go back to Brazil
El Khanouss is a big possibility, cheap and has some PL experience
The lad at Monaco is a bigger risk, expensive and who knows how he will adapt to the PL
I suppose the question will be
Come September the 1st
Will people be generally happy, still the same ( meh ) , absolutely furious or probably all of these things

This Spence is ideal cover for both right and left hand side - we really have short memories cos after about 6/7 games he decided to join Rio on a podcast looking like he’d just signed for Real Madrid and he reverted back to type , I thought he looked lazy and disinterested . The frustration is he has all the ability to be a Kyle walker but I just don’t think the drive is there and that’s a concern .
Fair point
We need to stop being so reasonable with each other , we are sure to get foul voted at this rate .
No probs we'll just go balls deep in for Eze and Wharton which roughly translates to WALOB.
