Pizy 18,928 Posted August 2, 2024 Share Posted August 2, 2024 As anyone here knows, I wasn’t high on us signing Osimhen either. But….i certainly don’t want him going to fucking Arsenal. 🤦♂️🤦♂️🤦♂️ Think he’ll score for fun in their setup. bigbluewillie and Reddish-Blue 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KDH and Lavia look really good, and both familiar with this setup and style. Some severely underrating a budget friendly option that knows the system - and hes quite silky on the ball with a great eye for a pass. Add in the fact every player is going to be a year closer to their prime, and getting better and more settled. Our CB area is the only weak area, as well as the left side wing.

He'll be so much better than Gabriel. They lacked that midfielder and striker to really go after Man City last season....and they're likely to solve both of those problems with Merino & Victor and they also added to their defence with Calafiori.

Lavia was there since August, but injured. Ugo gone is an improvement -- nowhere ready and to be frank, he's nowhere near good enough atm. Casadei gone is an improvement. Read so many "he looks good" in preseason tho... please don't read too much into "flag" football (aka pre-season). Palmer is not a mid: same way it's a waste when you move Enzo to a CAM position, moving Palmer away from the opposition goal makes little sense (considering how good he is in the final third). Reckon that potentially getting a fully fit Enzo back would be the big upgrade this season. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The problematic areas will be: CB and who plays up top. robsblubot 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MoroccanBlue 5,383 Posted August 3, 2024 Share Posted August 3, 2024 (edited) Is Jackson even fit? Ballsy to go into next season relying on him as our #1 with an 18 year old new to the Premier League as a backup.

Not yet but you don't rush making a signing purely based on a short term fitness problem in one guy. The squad is mostly fit and we do have options: Guiu, Nkunku, and even Cole Palmer could play there as a false 9. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd hate for him to end up at another PL club, seeing as he & his family are big Chelsea fans; however, the silver lining would be him delivering in the PL & silencing those who continue to doubt him. I get that they are completely different players, but it's similar to the pass-away comments Salah got before joining Liverpool. He's arguably been the best player in the league over the course of that time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
