Duppy Conqueror

I like Conor but only really has value in a midfield 3.much like most CM players we have had over last 10 years or so to various degrees. Even the mighty Kante when fit was better in a 3 than a 2. Conor is too much of a spaniel for it! We've already been offered more than he is worth to us in a 4-2-3-1. I like Kudus alot,liked him abit more than Olise due to so much positional flexibility,but Olise is Kevin Sheedy/Ziyech left peg with speed,plus offers more than Sheedy/Ziyech and the best option if looking for a pure wide man. Cherki is probably the biggest boom or bust prospect of the entire window.and like Olise pretty much only potentially great in one position.

Mikel joining Man U,Willian Spurs,Mudryk Arse... It ain't over till all is signed.

Compete with Kepa for a year or two.then veteran understudy for the best american keeper since Captain Robert Hatch.

Thiago is the Yoda of CB's though,he knows what the attacker is going to do before they do.

One of Zubimendi,Lavia or Caqueret + One of Kudus or Olise, for less than Brighton might accept for Caicedo. We went in too low with our first bid really (even though it wasn't too low for what is Caicedo's true value) if we fold and Brighton get us to pay 40m above our original offer it's gonna hinder future negotiations and if we had made a higher first offer i think it would have been resolved either way by now.

Fastest white guy since Forrest Gump. If his finishing was even moderately good he'd be top 3 strikers in the world because no defender could beat him,the best a defender could do against him is shout boo as he flew past them and get in position to recieve a goal kick.

They can have Les on loan.if reports were true that he was their intended Caicedo replacement.

Trev has utility position ability and Inter Poundland have appeared to be his main chaser so wouldnt rule out his staying because of this just yet.

Without Snails to munch on,he's bound to be abit bunged up.

That's less than the arabs wanted to pay Mbappe to take a shit

Zubimendi or Caqueret maybe..

Get Kudus in first then..more competition for his signature aswell although seems all but us have to sell first if their interest is for real. only 45 minute flight from Amsterdam to London catch a 5pm flight and arrive at 4:45..chop chop.

He does look like Sheik Yerbouti so there is a chance...

I think the club only see Caicedo being better than Santos will be soon so if not Caicedo then will go for cheaper option be that an experienced player for a few years or even a loan move,not sure of the market there,but have considered how Zakaria would have been a better option this season instead of last. Think the earlier in the offseason comments about another aswell as Ugarte have changed since Poch has had a closer look at our young players.i also think atleast one of our 2 CC's will play deeper than they have in pre-season and if we get Kudus,then Conor can be sold,he is a decent player but not a natural fit when we aren't playing a 4-3-3.

I'm more concerned when players have re-occuring injuries like multiple ACL tears etc... from what i've seen that doesn't appear to have been the case with him,a moderate knee injury,an ankle injury..sounds pretty run of the mill stuff..

Kudus just makes too much sense when Poch wants a small squad.he'd either start at RW/RAM or be a great Sub option that covers 4 positions. 20m +Ziyech seems a good offer to atleast start with. Olise for me is potentially great but only really out wide and the gammy hammy is a concern (though Giggs had those issues early on and ended up playing for 20 years)

I stay clear of Ginseng,7 kids..

Prefer Kudus. Cherki and Olise are the same level risks for me but Cherki has much higher potential.

Kudus be a good pick up,regular matchday squad member,with Poch wanting a smaller squad need a few utility players,and is potential to become more . But top keeper and DM by far the biggest need.luckily for us,pretty decent options compared to other positions.

Looks like Poch the PE teacher gave him gym shorts from lost property because he forgot his, but if it works.....

Pavard makes alot of sense now reasonable price tag,can cover RB too.so Gusto wouldnt have to play every game if RJ misses extended time during season or is played in other position. Caciedo i would put in offer of 80m with 20m in add ons but majority being linked to Ballon d'or or him winning the World cup with Equador.they can pretend they got Rice money from us,even send them some vouchers from Uncle Ben. CF i'd only be cool with us forking out substantial fee,say 70m range for Ramos! Otherwise go cheaper option for the kid from Arsenal or just roll with what we already got. GK reasonable options out there..

Lavia being another Belgian is something we have to consider too..although he avoided their era of mind altering hype.

If we gonna spend around 70m on a CF i'd want Ramos The Serb only really appeals to me if it was a swap deal for the hard to flush belgian turd.

Caicedo,nobody is paying more than we are willing too so leave the 70-80m whatever it is on the table and leave them stew after making it clear we will withdraw it at any time,then focus on other midfielders etc...we need more than one egg in the basket.nobody else is gonna pay more for their one.

Lukakupoopoo situation will ultimately end up like a standard divorce,will not get our financial fair share but will still be content with the fact we get the cunt out of our lives for good.
