If we struggle this season I don’t think it’ll have anything at all to do with TT’s coaching ability. He will extract the maximum out of these players I have no doubt. If it happens it’ll be because we could potentially be the only club big club in the league that doesn’t have a ruthless and clinical finisher.

Don’t think we should worry about that deal. By all accounts Sevilla are more than willing and in fact pretty much have to sell to continue operating as they do (buying low and selling high). Everyone seems to think we’ll eventually get him.

I suppose if Mount’s development explodes this season he could get into double figures. But Jorginho, Kante, and Kova shit the bed anytime they get near the box. Kova and Jorginho look like they’ve never proactive shooting in their lives. Which is astounding considering how skilled they are everywhere else on the pitch.

Can a single one of our center midfielders pop in with 15+ like Gündogan did? Mount, Kova, Kante, and J5 won’t score that between all of them.

Buying Lukaku for over £100m and then seeing Haaland go to United/Liverpool/City next summer for 60 or 70 would be terrible. Inter and Rom are both firmly saying it won’t happen but I find it extremely hard to believe that if we plopped £100m on the table 1) Inter would turn down such money and 2) that Lukaku would say no to the club he used to love showing that they’re willing to break the bank for him. So what to do….spend £100m on Rom now or wait it out, pray to God that Havertz and Werner drastically improve, and then pray even harder that Haaland chooses us next summer?

Sign him up, then!

Just throwing ideas out there. I’m desperate at this point. Jesus isn’t ideal but at least he’s a decent goal scorer when actually given a run and is a much better footballer than Tammy.

If City get Kane should we inquire about Gabriel Jesus? I’ve never been a huge fan of his but unlike these rando’s from small European teams at least we know that he can score reliably in the PL.

Probably gonna be RLC. Rice is most likely off the table for WH this late into the window.

Haaland is much younger and for me has more potential due to him being significantly more athletic than Kane. As brilliant as Kane is when fit we’ve already seen how he has lost a step due to constant injury. As for this saga now, I wonder what would happen if we offered them something like £100m + Tammy they’d go for it? They get massive cash as well as a ready made striker that’s about as good as they’re going to find in this market.

Spuds will finish 10th if they sell Kane. 😂😂😂

Just sign an inexpensive stopgap if we can’t get Haaland, ffs. Don’t spunk £100m on Lukaku who doesn’t even truly want to leave his Milan comfort zone. Ings perhaps. Or Griezmann on loan.

In my opinion, someone who costs £100m should be transformational. An undisputed world class player who wouldn’t look out of place in a World XI or something. Grealish isn’t anywhere near that level. City could sign Grealish for £100m, see him get injured day 1, and they wouldn’t even miss him a bit. So how is someone like that worth £100m? City don’t need him even a little bit. But I suppose it’s better they waste all that money on him than Haaland for example. I think it’s pretty much impossible that he’ll flop there due to the team he’ll have around him and I’m sure he’ll have some good numbers, but there are probably a dozen players for half the price City could sign that could do the same things.

One things for sure, I may have to watch some low res, 360p streams of our home games instead of the TV broadcast so I can’t see this abomination of a home kit clearly. My goodness…

Christ, I legit forgot Batshuayi existed.

What I find strange is how City are able to go out and offer £100m for Grealish and are still after Kane who will cost well north of £100m as well, yet we are still operating under this sell in order to buy model. It’s like we’re paralyzed in the market until some suckers take our deadwood off us. Are we legitimately scared of FFP in this day and age? City were actually caught and charged with that stuff and got barely a slap on the wrist. Like, what would happen if the club just put a bid of £150m in for Haaland right now? The football cops gonna come and arrest Roman? I don’t get it. City are operating in a post-FFP market whilst we’re operating as though this is 5 years ago when everyone was worried about it.

Hopefully they save a little for Tammy.

Until we see any evidence at all that we’re attempting to sign a new striker we should just all assume Tammy is staying. And so far we haven’t.

Worth it still. Better than seeing him reunited with Sancho in Manchester next summer for a third of the price and haunting us for a decade.

Midfield options in case of a Kante or Jorginho injury are evaporating now. Please don’t tell me RLC or Barkley are staying…

It’s not out of the realm of possibility of course. But for me it’s extremely risky. Why go into a season merely hoping all these players improve when we can add to the squad in key areas and basically ensure that we don’t have to depend on that hope? We sign Haaland and we don’t have to worry about Werner missing sitters or Ziyech forgetting how to play football.

Perhaps we wouldn’t be scrambling on literally the last day for top 4 like the last two seasons, but I absolutely do think we’d be in for a real battle with Leicester, Spuds, and Arse for that 4th spot. Sorry, but expecting TT to finish above City, Liverpool, and United who all have reliable goal scorers whilst we have Tammy Abraham as our only officially recognized striker is madness.

I don’t see it that way at all. It would just mean that others improved while we stood still.

Nah. None of those clubs have the depth or potential over an entire season to properly threaten the big boys. As with a bunch of our key players last season who were subpar, you can imagine Arse being significantly better this coming season if the likes of Auba, Partey etc are back to their usual selves. And Ben White instantly becomes by far their best CB. I feel that if we make 2-3 key signings the likes of Arse/Spuds/Leicester will be no real threat to us. But if we don’t sign a striker they will be.

At this rate both North London clubs as well as United and Leicester (all clubs who you’d expect to be in the mix for top 4) will have made 3-4 signings each before we’ve made 1. Not counting the 3rd choice keeper, that is. 😒😒😒
