I completely disagree with that I have to say

If that is our scouting, an average 28 yr old who's never really pulled up any trees in the prem, who plays in a position where we have Xavi, Kulusevski and Maddison (when fit) then it proves we're utterly boned.
I highly doubt this post will change the situation to a noticeable degree, or make an appreciable difference in the usage of the aforementioned phrase...
At this stage, we need to re-invent the wheel, rather than just move the needle.
Agree on GK. I think its one of those positions to not see as a priority, but I also think a high class GK makes a HUGE difference to the team.
I sort of agree on LWF, but think actually LB is higher priority.
Tel is doing a good job, especially with Davies behind him. The difference a left footed LB makes is massive. Imagine if he had a high quality LB overlapping him and making a big difference to our balance?
And with our injuries an 8 makes sense. We need midfield quality anyway, especially now. Although we need to clear some out as well - its looking congested...
I agree he would add something in the short term, for sure.
He's a player I like, I was very keen the other summer under Ange (perfect for him IMO)
Its just, right now, Im unconvinced he is what we need right now/should aspire to going forward.
I also have concerns how his introduction would impede the minutes/development Sarr, Bergvall and Gray would get.
Which is why I said ..
"Appoint an enigmatic manager who plays attacking football, and sign established senior players - GK, DCM, CF and a LWF - and we can be a major team next season"
It's good that Udogie is fit again then isn't it? LBs for the rest of the season should be Udogie, Davies and Souza. Only want to see Spence at RB.
Udogie cannot be relied upon to stay fit. Or play well.
He's young, and it shows in his consistency (or lack of).
I dont mind Davies playing, right now he's our best option - I just think an upgrade on him (and Udogie) really upgrades the team
Souza, mixed reporting, but best I can tell he is more one for the future than for now, which is fine - but doesnt help in the immediate short term.
You still need proof that we are utterly boned?
to thatIll post shit from any fraud
Not because I believe it - I dont
But because sometimes it prompts an interesting conversation
Could not really have more negativity going into any window than this, with a manager who is just struggling, the lead person on record ruitnent with his mind elsewhere, and with seemingly nothing concrete to provide some ballast to a squad that needs an injection of leadership and on-field direction.
ENIC are definitely playing with fire.

Not especially but it would be nice not to have their ineptitude paraded arounded everyday.
Err...we were told his job is getting more youth hence Souza.
I think his performances are very inconsistent.
He has days where hes just lazy, ball watching, passing to nowhere... can be really frustrating
On his day though - fucking brilliant
Of course, he’s a fucking LCB
Cheers for the goal line clearance Micky. I can’t say I blame you tbh
Keita looks more of a destroyer but we have Palhinha for that. Seems a good character
Agoume is slow and ponderous, I prefer Camara at Monaco
Stankovic I know nothing about.....must check him on YouTube
