:nunofacepalm:And City with an unlimited budget don't have a striker at all
I actually find it more irritating that he's apparently been good for Argentina tbh.Dele and Ndombele have their fans as well.
GLC has shown so much more than either recently at the International level so he gets credit for that, he was our best player at times in the recent past for Spurs neither Dele or Ndombele have that.
There are few if any that credit him for being amazing right now more, like with Dele and Ndombele, fans that see his clear skill and us lacking it so are willing to give him credit, just like what happens with Dele and Ndombele.
No he definitely isn’tHes not wrong though
WrongYou were probably the most vocal of anyone in saying we didn't need striker back up during our self-imposed transfer ban
Which goes back to my point earlier in the week that the club have been naive in the striker department.
Do we think Kane is going to play every game for the next 15 years?
Dembele has gone, and needs replacing, so that one player can cover the loss of Dele and Sissoko and one striker to replace our two back up strikers.
So three out, two in.
I want a striker or forward/winger
I don’t really care who we sign.
I want a striker and personally I don’t care who it is if they do what we bought them for.
Unlike some people, I won’t call for new players, then call them shit before they’ve joined
This window, in my opinion, we need a quality striker, and cover for Dembele, but as the manager says, if we can’t, then pointless appeasement signings won’t be made.
Well he could, but if we can’t sign them then he won’t sign anyone.
Personally I’d be happier for him to take a punt on a striker. Whether it’s a buy or throw Sterling in I don’t care.
But continuing with Llorente while bemoaning options in the market while you leave a prospect on the bench I’ll never understand.
He trains with the team everyday and has been here for years, so why would he offer less than a young player from Hull or Leeds?
Better unknown than knowingly playing someone who can’t do the job
He’s not been that badDemeaning
Embarrassing.
Garbage.
Or maybe we need to find out WHY he plays well for Argentina and fit that into the team. He clearly has talent .I actually find it more irritating that he's apparently been good for Argentina tbh.
It's almost as if he's showing what he cares more about. He's playing well for them AND not bothered about the potential quarantine issues when he gets back and is then utterly shit for us if he even plays.
And City with an unlimited budget don't have a striker at all
Jesus is a striker.
And Guardiola’s system means they can play with a false 9/Ferran Torres there and be fine. We aren’t capable of that and need an actual outlet.
Way too complex a debate to get into with people on here, especially if I'm already going to have statements I haven't made put in my mouth.Fucking bullshit.
Winks, Doherty, Dier, Davies and a shit-tonne before them....
....But we only slate our black players????
FUCK OFF.... And fuck those of you agreeing with this toxic bullshit too.
Who is now better at right wing
Chelsea fansWho is now better at right wing
Right. Sometimes players force their way into the reckoning at a young age. Often future stars, but sometimes just ordinary players who mature unusually quickly and show themselves capable.
Scarlett has now made 3 competitive starts for us and looked lost and badly overmatched in all of them. And he’ll make more in this competition because the club doesn’t give a shit about competitive integrity, or about Dane Scarlett for that matter.
Maybe so, but he arrived a striker. Just because he can now play a different position well doesn’t change that he’s also capable of playing through the middle perfectly naturally.
And again, the lack of a striker would hurt us far more than City. Their system isn’t reliant on an out and out goal scorer like ours is.
That's because we quite obviously should always try to play to the strengths of our best player
Well yes, I'm not implying we should deploy a false 9. I'm saying we're reliant on an out and out CF in our system, and should probably acquire a reliable backup who can play cup matches, provide a threat from the bench and challenge for a place.
It won't be easy, not many will want to play second fiddle for Kane. Somebody like Daka would have been perfect if it was at all possible. It's ridiculous we're wheeling out a 17 year old in Europe.
Because the real problem is doing the hiring and firing Imho.Why shoot the manager again. It was THESE players that got Poch the sack.
Just think, we could have had Jose and lost 6-1 !
THE PROBLEM IS NOT THE MANAGER !
Well I don't think it is - these guys like Scarlett and Markanday will just leave if there's no route to the first team.
We could sign another Vinicius, but long term they won't be good enough.....it's just a waste of money and squad place to feel better about beating Vitesse away
