Strike

let's face it. whether we had the money or not Haaland was not coming here. The club tried its best in 2021 and he didn't budge

Think we can still do a serious push. 2021 team managed to win despite an ineffective attack - Need the defence sorted to stay in the big CL games to have a hope of winning. Badiashile should have been registered over Felix imo. I don't know if its an ego call - Felix is the higher profile player. But Badiashile made more sense for the squad because K2 is shot

Should have registered badiashile for Europe. The drop off to Kouli is too big

Are these owners filming themselves ? Can make for good television

in the frenzy of getting Enzo deal over the line, the club screwed up the loans of Ziyech and Hutchinson. Hopefully the Ziyech one can be revived

Take a fucking bow Eghbali - Boehly. January went a long way to setting things right. Mudryk Enzo Nkunku Badiashile Felix and the youngsters. Can’t wait and bring on the Champions League knockouts with this squad

Lot more encouragement compared to yesterday, talk of Benfica finding a replacement now

Not since Luiz and Torres in 11 have we had a deadline day like this

Everton would be career suicide for Connor but I think with this interest confirmed, others will enter the picture - Palace, Newcastle

Benfica have to consider a bid of this size - despite their public position. There is a good chance no one comes in with a 100m bid for Enzo in the summer or ever again. Todd and Eghbali seem like they want to bring in new signings before the amortisation rules change - tie Enzo down to a 7.5 + 1 year like Mudryk

Would have been nice to have him immediately but we're looking far more serious next season. 26m is decent price and glad we've managed to get a backup RB finally

and then had the biggest meltdown of his career the next season. He had an exciting, young squad that he ignored for short term gains' His last good work was probably building that Inter Milan side.

Not even a decade ago - by then Guardiola and Klopp had changed the way the game was played at the top level.

Quite telling his message did not name Arsenal specifically.

When he is the only winger in any sort of form. If only Pulisic was not injured and could be packed off this month

Yep, both Lavia and Onana may only be available in the summer.

15 year contract and keep him till he retires?

Cucurella did well and Mudryk looked good - intrigued if he can elevate the dud attack we have

Dharmesh Sheth from Sky Sports is below Tier 4

It is still a big transfer but small solace that it is a 62m fee up front and 97k/week salary. Wage structure is not disbalanced by that.

Tier 1 isn't saying it yet but looks like this is the week the club moves for Caicedo when his new agent is in. No Enzo and possibly no Zakharyan hurts. Caicedo is agile but I don't see how this transforms us playing against low blocks

I like that he's not one of those owners who are perpetually hiding. Going on Twitter spaces after the Palace game and constantly being involved at the club is a really good sign. Doesn't change anything about the scrutiny over his decisions. His track record is horrific so far in his attempt to uproot and overhaul every department at the club. But I'd wait and see how they adapt. The group put together seem to know what they are doing and there is talk Michael Edwards is still being courted to come in from June after his break is over.

Think both CMs we sign need to be able to pass/play their way out of a press. The idea of a holding mid and a playmaking mid is very 2000s

I like all that I'm reading about him being a Ronaldo-inspired fitness freak. Hoping that unlike Pulisic and the other attackers, he has the appetite to keep going even when defenders in this league are throwing in challenges.
