Kudus is very similar to Madueke, but less successful / productive. A very low standard indeed.

Madueke is already beneath the level we should have albeit I think its ok to have some squad filler like him, signing more squad filler is not what we need. Unless Madueke is on his way out and Kudus is a vastly cheaper replacement, it would make no sense.

We need to be raising the standard not lowering it or just keeping it the same as the worst members of our squad.

Kudus' issue is consistency. Ability wise, he's leagues above all our natural wingers. As with all rumoured deals, I refrain from passing judgement until there's a clearer picture. If West Ham are willing to sell him for less than £40m, I wouldn't have any objections with the possibility of a return should things not work out.

You need to realise, we aren't going for ready made players anymore. Our CL qualification hasn't done anything to change things, and I doubt things will miraculously change from now till earlier Sep.

George already replaced Mudryk during the season. 

Gittens is Sancho replacement. 

Pedro would replace Nkunku. 

We lacked in CF role so got Delap. 

And if we sell Madueke I guess Estevao would take his minutes.

I know gittens will do well, only because hes been slandered in this thread so much 🤣

Breaking Joao Pedro, also wanted by Newcastle, is leaning towards a move to Chelsea if they can reach agreement on a fee.

Chelsea have had a proposal of around £58m rebuffed with Brighton wanting in excess of £60m.

Agree with this. 

No one wanted Samu - he has balled out. 

No one wanted Raphina - Balon D'or candidate. 

Not many knew Cole - our best player. 

Anthony Gordon was lauged at - has been great for Newcastle. 

 

Given the hate for Gittens I am expecting back to back Balon D'ors and leading England to the WC final.

I still remember at the time when we got the Palmer deal done and other teams fans were laughing at us, saying how we wasted 40 million on a City reserve attacker.  

 

[Special Juan 28,730]

Romano saying talks with Joao Pedro are now pushing on...We are focused on Pedro after completing the Gittens deal...Chelsea pushing

[Vesper 31,037]

Hope we get this level of winger play again some day:

Yep fully agree, I got slated for saying grab gordon for that left flank.

I had no clue about Samu though. But what a player there is there.

When we was elite club with Don Roman that type talents we got , not today's talents that we take that no one has heard of with  one season with 5 goals  .

Advancing for Joao Pedro.

Maybe the Brazilian wonderkid could be that type, if he develops to the levels expected?

time will tell

I just hope Maresca does not fuck him up

[Fernando 6,723]

I'm okay with gittens and joa Pedro just as long we get rid of nkunku, and Madueke.

nkunku will be sold but about madueke Im not sure 

[Mário César 1,475]

without penaltys, joao pedro had only 6 goals last season in the premierleague

its a very poor record

[Strike 7,761]

Currently have 9 players in the AM and ST roles for 3 or 4 spots in the XI - Neto Madueke Estevao Palmer Gittens George Jackson Delap Guiu + not even including Mudryk Carney Sterling Nkunku Felix DDFofana Broja Deivid Kellyman 

Wonder if they didn't spend on some of the kids or had the sense to stay clear of Sancho and Felix, we would have the funds to go for one serious player instead of signing Gittens + Pedro for 100+ million?

I've just been ignoring the whole Gittens thing because I don't know much about him and wasn't worth looking much in case the deal doesn't happen as so many of them don't. Guess it is time to check him out.

Usually I try to watch the "player vs team" youtube videos because you see every involvement (good and bad) they had in the game, but even then you still can't see so much (what runs they make, whether they are switched off in moments they should be switched on etc).

In the stats he looks very Madueke-esque with slightly better defensive output.
