So why did we bother buying Odebert and Tel?
Not you personally! But we have 2 that can play left wing and no one in the centre at 10

He looks like a Bollywood Pablo Escobar!

Not activated the clause yet.
Odobert is a project, so they loan another project, who's a long way behind Tel, and then sign him permanently after the worst loan performance I can ever recall.
Just because we have them, doesn't mean they're good enough. Our recruitment is dross. It's this buy 3 projects on tiny wages in the hope they become £100m players, instead of signing said £100m player and give them decent wages. We're stuck in a cycle of mediocrity.
Yes- Kudus gets injured and we suffer horribly, then Daniel buys a 10 just as Kulu and Madders return, then we loan Werner.
Oderbert. A punt who can be easily loaned out across Europe ( went wrong because he got injured )
Tel. Absolutely no ideas on that one. Must be something to do with baby oil, photos and a flying helmet.
That Frank press conference looked exhausting. Media stir shit with Eze then stir shit with Frank. Need to get behind team now. Media hate us. Wankers.
Honestly we could probably carry Eriksen at the 10 against lower half oppo- we have enough CM talent to put a double pivot behind him if we wanted to. It might be enough creativity to get us through to the winter.
Feels sad to have to contemplate outcomes like this though.
Zouma and Reggie. Oh please let that be the answer. Please Daniel
I honestly don’t think it mattered. Even if we triggered the release clause they could have also triggered it and it again would have been up to the player. He was going to the Scum regardless and it had nothing to do with the Havertz injury. That’s my opinion. I also think he has chosen poorly in a World Cup year and may end up regretting it
Again just my opinion
If I’m Frank, I rest Kudus for City to make a point
Agree it’s a bad sitch. We’re a Kudus injury away from being toothless in attack. At that point we will be forced to play pure low-block counter and long balls. If we play him every game it’s going to happen.
That is the worst of the lot. What the fuck were they thinking? £28 PLUS Lamela. Shocking business
If we were to get an injury to kudus i think we would have to approach every single champions league game like were a minnow (fc qarabag or similar). Diabolical for a club our size.
How is frank supposed to compete on 4 front with what hes got? Il support him all the way its not his fault at all but its beyond delusional to think he can get anywhere meaningful in any cup comp and anywhere near top 6/8 in the pl.
Major last few days of the window. 2 quality players from somewhere required.
zouma kicks kittens
Another productive week. Zero incomings or outgoings. Completely imbalanced squad devoid of creativity.
Good work, recruitment team

Levy's latest human shield.
Thankfully, TF gets paid the big bucks for this!
Keep CFs fit, build their confidence. And you don’t always have to win by four goals…
But…Kudus looks to be good value on the RW; the problem I see at the moment is nothing really comes through the middle and not much from the LW with Maddison out, and Sarr not really having the guile, it’s hard to see much other than whipping crosses in.
This season will be such a different beast to last that I really don’t know how to evaluate the squad tbh. I don’t think we’ll score anywhere near as many as last season but I honestly don’t think we’ll need to.
Why is Tomiyasu still available? Wasn't he actually decent for Woolwich, for a while at least? And turns out he's only 26.
Eriksen is beyond washed, shouldn't even be entertained as a last resort. One of those rare situations where you'd genuinely be better off playing a random kid from academy in his place.
