Hopefully someone takes grealish soon so don't have to read about him, giving me heart burn .
1 goal and 1 assist last season, 3 goals 1 assist the season before that
Timo Werner literally was more productive
 
Nicolas Jackson ain't happening but I do think he's a really good player. With fundamentally flawed striking technique. He shoots like me when I'm tired at training.

May as well take a punt and throw him in with the rest of our strikers who can't score, wingers who can't dribble, midfielders who can't pass, defenders who can't mark and keepers who can't command their area and hopefully when we complete this weird wacky journey and reach the wizard of Oz he can fix all those issues and we finally have that world class squad we've been after.
 
Realistically, if you believe we are miles and miles off now, where did you think we were going to get this window.
Maddison is a huge blow that isn't the club's fault of course. And I did not expect to completely vault the gap between us and the top clubs even in the best case scenario.

But I would have hoped for greater progress than we've made with our CL qualification, and I did not anticipate how aggressive Woolwich/Liverpool/United were going to be.

If we had Bissouma, Richy and Solomon out the door in addition to Sonny, had let Tel go back to Bayern and Davies' contract to expire, but then we'd been the ones to sign Ekikite/Gyokeres and Cunha/Eze, I'd be saying we're a fullback short of really taking a step forward and making a fist of it in the CL.

There is still time to make some good things happen, but we just have some really substandard pieces occupying several significant places in the squad right now, as the league buries us.

And as always it's down to that dualism of what's lacking under ENIC, industry standard resourcing and the ironclad sporting commitment to out-competing our rivals. Every path is a road to nowhere without those things.

Maddison is very frequently injured, it's why I didn't want him in the first place, still baffled we went with him over Eze, but hey ho.

Clearly the club knew it too in their pursuit of MGW. He needed replacing anyway because he just can't be relied upon to stay healthy over the course of a season. His body is wearing out very quickly, and I don't know that he comes back the same player, of indeed he has done his ACL, especially nearing 30.
