Gil's a full Spain international tbf, can't see Solomon ever representing Spain
On the final day of the transfer window, and our only other forward out for an unspecified time what would you have done?
Put Tel up front in order to rest Richy our injury prone option, or brought in a player who last season scored 22 goals in 40 starts on loan.
Mate, it's the no brainer of all no brainers.
Plus Kolo Muani is a far better player than any available LW - so by himself improves the squad quality far more than say Lookman
He'd be saying the same thing about Ronny Rosenthal or for example Anne Frank.
It's not about football, which is why he's straight on to ignore with the rest of these boring fucking cunts.
If Bissouma pulls his finger out he could be very useful to spell Bentancur or Palinha
I don't think he can play though.
I think Dragusin’s return is sooner than expected. However, there is the small point of our medical department.
We must have dropped 200k with Son going?
The norm? Not necessarily. The whole idea is to get the squad into a strong position where you only need tinkering during the subsequent windows. There may be times you need a big signing or two to replace those in decline or those who may leave.
Whereas income should be generated from either selling squad players in their peak or promising youth as opposed to exceptional youth. Look at the sums Chelsea, Liverpool, Man C etc have brought in for their kids. The best kids will be given opportunities with the first team E.g. Jones, Elliott, Bradley, Lewis, Foden, Chalobah, Colwill, James etc
I think it was Muani as he can play left wing but can play centre forward as well if Solanke is out for any time.
It's allowed in the CL, Kolo Muani can play in our game against PSG too.
Sure we moved on Son who was on £200k pw but we have added about 4 players on £200k pw. so quite a large increase in weekly wage bill (excluding a big raise for Romero on his new contract)
But we have scope to increase our wage bill much more than any other club so its not a big issue for us as we are in a good place on wages/turnover ratio
We did, plus another £15m-ish per year for Reguilon, Forster, Werner and Whiteman.
Plus, no one had ever really been near Harry's big contract.
Spence maybe got a bump too?
