The people driving recruitment are the co-sporting directors, have been since January last season.

The two of them need to go ASAP. This club isn’t Brighton or Monaco - they are out of their depth.

The justification is going to be that he's under 23 and data they have on him will look good. Thats been the prerogative since they came in. 

I think it all depends on what else happens in the window. If he is the only striker we sign then the club deserve every bit of shit the fans direct their way. If he is one of 2 strikers we buy and the other one is the primary starter then okay. If he is being thought of as someone who will compete with Jackson and those two are the only ones on the books then we’re fucked.

I just think the price is kinda outrageous

Kinda? He is a 10m Championship player. Aston Villa fans celebrating hard right now.

just look at their forum to see how happy they are

Also, if Olise does choose United over us are we still after another winger? Or was it just that we really, really want Olise specifically?

If the club are willing to pay £60m+ for Olise then there are surely other fantastic wide attackers we could get as alternatives with that money.

We're gonna get that bang average Championship youngster Summerville or what is his name called. Time to pack it up honestly, we're done as a top club.

Oh yeah, I forgot about that link. 🤦‍♂️🤦‍♂️🤦‍♂️

That’s absolutely what this current sporting department would do. 

Imagine if our entire business this summer window is appointing a manager from the Championship, signing a winger from the Championship, signing Aston Villa’s backup striker, and signing a CB (who I do really like) on a free. Fucking YIKES! lmao

All on top of selling fan favorite Chelsea youth products Chalobah & Gallagher. This ownership better pray to God that all those moves turn out to be strokes of genius because if we have another poor season the toxicity will be insane.

We wouldn’t be signing a young CF if the objective is to go out and recruit a more established striker afterwards. Why would we? I mean we already have Jackson and Duran would be the second young CF in our squad. They have to play to develop so it wouldn’t make sense.

Clearlake and the co-sporting directors apparently want to become more efficient in the market and sign players below a certain age so you can forget the likes of Toney, Oshimen etc who are going to cost big fees. Sesko is going to resign at Leipzig too.

Maybe our hands are forced a bit with Broja potentially going to Everton but the Duran deal is a bad one, everyone can see that. I’m assuming more efficient in the market means that Tosin and Duran (potentially) will be brought in to replace Silva and Broja (potentially).

I guess I will need to pay attention to Columbia in Copa now.

This is the issue. Talent is there. Just a risk at that price. 25 to 30 seems fair. Hopefully we get something in the range for Broja so almost a straight swap.

They’re all saying he is talented and only second choice because they have their best striker in the last 30 years.

If this is a case of Duran going for 50 and Conor goes the other way for 80 we will know what’s up.

We already have a talented CF who is young. In fact we already have numerous talented young players.

This criteria for recruiting for the squad set by these sporting directors is absolutely ridiculous and will never bear real success. Clubs recruit these sort of players to develop and sell on for profit, usually to bigger clubs. You don’t build a 25 man squad which is between 70-75% of these kind of players. At this point we need some actual proven quality and not talented could be quality.

Apparently Boehly wants to copy Real Madrid (the newest laugh at Todd’s expense) by signing all these talented players. Difference is Madrid only sign 2/3 of them every couple of years. We’ve signed about 10-15 of them. In 2.5 years.

[ZAPHOD2319 4,472]

They are very complimentary of Duran at Herosandvillians. 

[whats happening 1,525]

in the end this just means jackson will still be our first striker and we are bringing in a young talented player as a back-up who will have enough time to show that he can become our main striker. reasonable idea, only problem is 50m is a bit much. but i bet (hope) its with a lot of incentives and clauses.

Kvara would be incredible but De Laurentiis would probably quote us £100m for him.
