Strike

Gallagher was starting week in week out last season. Do you see KDH starting right now? Don't know why you are comparing the two as if KDH was brought in to replace Gallagher. Badi Tosin and Disasi are not starting ahead of the first choice defense of Fofana and Colwill either. The board has not just spent on KDH, Tosin, Badi and Disasi. It was clear to everyone that KDH and Tosin particularly were bought in the summer as cover. Can't deny board has spent considerably to improve the first XI with Gusto, Cucu, Caicedo, Enzo, Lavia, Palmer, and not have limited players like Gallagher and Chalobah in it.

Gallagher is nowhere near the quality of Caicedo, Enzo and Lavia Chalobah is okay but not close to Fofana or Colwill's level. We sold Omari Hutchinson and brought in Neto. I don't think they're overpaying for subpar replacements at all. If anything, it has helped improve the first XI

Napoli showing interest is a sign that he's good ...

Anselmino comes back to give cover instead of Disasi. But we should replace Fofana right away. Loan in Skriniar or sign another defender - Murillo There are reports linking us to Guehi and Tomori again but I'd only do these deals on the cheap Reduce wages and sign him to a reasonable contract if he's injured again.

I will bat for Reece to stay despite the injuries. It is blind hope at this point but come on, he's one of the best academy boys we had. At 21, he was bossing a Champions League final

There are some interesting contract situations Looks like Trent is off to Madrid at the end of the season. Dani Olmo maybe available now due to Barca financial issues. I'd replace Felix with him

I'd say getting couple of players at 23-25 age band should be fine. Boehly-co's worst signings have been the older players : Koulibaly, Sterling, Aubameyang

We need to strengthen in January

Find me a good reason why Disasi is starting at RB over Gusto James and Acheampong?

Jackson and Neto right away would be the move to do

Delap is playing like he's auditioning to be here

Joao Felix shouldn't be starting in the league and frankly, I'm happier if he's sold

Can't believe the Disasi inclusion especially at RB. We lose so much by having him there - in both defence and attack

This Crazy that we're in this position but should be getting back here and scoring a few

Clearly offside

Its clear there was no contact until the striker searched for it and just fell down

Never a pen. What has happened to the game

Stopped reading at Disasi

let's wait till other sources confirm this He can easily walk in and replace Disasi

I think the scouting team has earned some trust. The strikers they wanted in the summer were Duran, Isak, Samu (scoring a lot in Portugal), Gyokeres, Osimhen but only on a fair deal. I'd be interested in a 2nd striker who presses like Jackson and can play on his own up front

How about Cunha for the striker position if Felix, Nkunku leave?

We tried and the costs are too high. It has only grown more in the last 4 months. We will have to look at alternatives

World of difference in the football being played right now

Didn't understand the lack of subs. We needed fresh legs and Maresca has usually been someone who uses the full quota of subs. Gives me the sense that Madueke/Felix are complaining and could agitate to move in Jan. I'd look at strengthening if that is the case since Mudryk is also unavailable

We can call Time of Death on the title challenge and move on
