Think we should hold off with what we have and then enter the race for Haaland next summer. The thought of him going to United or City whilst we are stuck with Lukaku is just too much.
Except a lot of people are forgetting he 'improved' by playing in a league where his limitations on the ball are played down given how slow the league is in comparison to the Premier League.
I have no doubt in my mind he will score goals, but the amount of build up he will ruin will have us pulling our hair similar to United fans.
They are average players earning well above their pay grade. It was always going to be difficult, if not impossible, for them to find a home without taking a pay cut.
Thought that was a solid display given a few individual cock ups. Tammy and Bats both did beautifully in proving they are incompetent to be here.
Should’ve ended the game 1-4 at least.
Except it is clear as day Tuchel doesn't rate Tammy and Broja fits better in his system.
We are not getting Haaland and there really is no next best thing.
We are getting property shafted with that deal. Obviously West Ham value Rice highly, but if we are comparing price to quality, we are essentially offering West Ham 80-85 million worth of players for someone who is 40 million tops.
He's as a defensive midfielder as you could get. A skill set our current midfield is missing. One of those players that make things look simple hence why many discredit his quality.
