Correct me if I'm wrong, but I do remember Lewandowski playing a SS or AM type role very early on in his career. Even at the start with Dortmund. Maybe Pedro sees a similar transition?

Lavia does my head in. I hate the fact he is so damn good when he plays. Makes it all the harder to be like "ah well, don't care".

He’s not even better than Delap.

If Noni stays - you're expecting Estevao to be third choice behind him and Neto? Then you also have Cole who is starting to play there again. Doesn't make sense. We need a LW and to get rid of Noni.

That isn't even that bad. You guys seem to keep focusing on the players they make losses on. Every club has that. They keep turning profit on other players. Angelo, Conor, Omari, Hall, etc. Not just that - these loan fees we are getting are substantial half the time. I mean even players useless to us like Disasi and Felix are getting us 6 mil a season. So they aren't even an accounting loss season to season. Not sure why fans are even worrying about this. This group have a history of success in the sports business from the money side. The point is, they buy, they keep adapting and keep building towards success. We can complain all we want, but our turnaround from midtable to top 4 has been the quickest I've seen from any of the big 6. All that with the most disruptions. New management, trade window ban, complete overhaul of internal operations, and several new managers. No other club has turn it around as quick with the changes that have occurred. At the very least the board and team have learned to fail fast and get back to the drawing board. Its nonsense to say they aren't trying to win titles with the signings.

Welp... go for Rogers.

Apparently, him and his agent are still salty from a few years back when we had terms agreed and decided to go elsewhere.

Amortisation of transfer fees is important to understanding what constitutes a "profit". Also these owners are going for growth over the years. Not just turning profit on day to day and month to month operations.

Noni to Arsenal news is reaching boiling point. Not a chance this doesnt go through now. Hopefully we get somewhere in the ball park of 42-60 mil. If Kudus/Fofana come in - I'd like to see a few players go before we lock up a CB option. Djordje - 22 mil Humphrys/Kepa - 20 mil Noni - 45 mil Badi - 20 mil KDH - 25 mil Nkunku - 30 mil Sterling - 15 mil Jackson - 40 mil Felix - 30 mil Disasi - 20 mil Ugo - 25 mil

If we play PSG, play Penders and Sanchez in goal together and get 8 defenders on as well. Try and get to ET and penalties to win it.

Hell yeah Vesp. Join the Fofana train. I welcome you to the Nico Williams is overrated team. We have refreshments in the club house.

Kudus is far better than Noni. I just wonder where we will want to play him in our system.

Seems fair for a player that does nothing.

I'd love Kudus. Where would we play him?

Moi, Lavia and Enzo midfield three should be good next game.

I thought Santos was okay. Nothing spectacular. Pedro was great when he came on. I like the mix of him and Delap and potentially both on together. Think there could be some good synergy between them. I actually thought Nkunku played okay but let’s see if his time is coming to an end.

Can we get Essugo on. Need another midfielder.

Made the run to give Palmer space. Then had a layoff to Cole who passed to Nkunku who should have made it two. As a striker your game is moments, and I feel he has had his.

I was going to say it'd be nice to see Pedro on for Nkunku to see how he does with Cole and Delap, but maybe take Delap off now?

That isn't even a foul, let alone a yellow.

Delap with some nice movement to open space too.

Sterling for Rodrygo. Who says no? Real Madrid get their galacticos signing!

What worries me now is that James has injured himself.

Gittens is better than this dude.

I mean that’s not even remotely true. Goals and assists aren’t the only metric for a player. Hazard was dribbling entire teams for us and being the sole reason we created anything at times. Pulisic isn’t half the player Hazard was even at his best.
