I'd say the only real issue or annoyance is the defence. I get Chilwell has just come back, but we're asking for trouble putting Colwill back at LB again.

We surely have a CF lined up for the summer if this happens. Everything is seemingly pointing to Osimhen.

The squad ought to start practicing our PK's from now.

He isn't HG either.

I was just mentioning two players that I personally believe we overpaid by a huge margin and still do. However, that is how the market works; you either put your money where your mouth is or end up with the Endos of the world (no disrespect to him). With regards to how we play, James was whipping balls in for fun in a number of games without anyone at the end of them. We just need a reliable scorer above anything else.

The level at which most of those are playing is considerably lower or was only a matter of months ago. It seems like the fee is the sole reason most people are against him joining. Caicedo & Enzo ring any bells?

It was always too much to ask for a cleansheet as well.

It's hard to look past them. They have so much depth (Jackson isn't even a starter).

It's nice to see us tuck away these chances. Safe to say, we're going to Wembley!

The hate Diasi was getting before even playing as an RB for us. He's been great!

Just look at how Ghana conceded the goal that saw them get knocked out. They're a mess from top to bottom.

Tried our hardest to blow that chance too.

Nsue has been leading the line for years (an extremely versatile player). A team with no stars, as their captain put it and the tournament's leading scorer perfectly put it, humbled a side filled with names. That's why you have to love the AFCON. Just look at what happened to Ghana.

I wouldn't call Haaland "a little-known player." Players know they can use them as a stepping stop, which generally works for both parties. The situation here is completely different.

A surprising decision if he's been called back for another reason. I'd imagine him or Santos will remain with the squad till the summer. Edit: It looks like he's going to be part of the squad after all. Mixed feelings.

It doesn't mean the graphic is incorrect. Davis could have also played for Ghana & Mbappe for Algeria. France's footballing history would look very different if that were the case.

Just have a look at his performance against Al Ahly (by far his biggest game since joining). People think we're going after someone in their prime for some reason.

They always tend to choke. It's hard to look past Senegal or them as it stands.

I have to echo this. It's hard for anyone to build on scraps especially after coming back from a serious injury.

There's no chance we're getting that much for Chalobah. I can see an Italian side taking a punt at around £20m max (payment spread over a decade).

I don't want him as much as the next person, but he has only "failed" at Spurs. That could have been different had he remained in charge of the cup final. The youngsters thing is something I mentioned to a friend shortly after his dismissal was announced, that there was no chance of that happening for the stated reason. Our team would be his worst nightmare to work with.

I've mentioned Muriel almost every window. He fits the profile for the way we're trying to play and wouldn't cost much. Benzema's biggest game over the last few months was in the CWC, in which he was dire (missed a PK to boot). I personally think we ought to stay clear, regardless of whether there's any chance of this happening.

I'm not disputing that. I just commented on your post about Brazil no longer being the gold mine it once was. The issue with our transfer business is that there's no balance between youth and experience, which is evident in most of our performances. Lucas is the one name that sticks out who falls under that bracket.

It proves that these players are capable, despite your attempts to discredit them. Talent is talent. He wasn't talked about in the same breath as the other two, I couldn't agree more with the first part. Dzeko (who was also signed in the winter window) and Son are the only other players to come from Germany and deliver in the Prem. In regards to Benz, I'd be more worried about his demeanour than about anything else. I'd personally keep well clear of anyone who's gone over to Saudi for a final payday. If we're really interested in a CF, we should get someone who's still playing at the highest level on loan until the summer before buying a worthy CF.

Didn't those players win the CL not too long ago?
