All the players you listed would be way worse playing for us too , just wait for sterling to be nowhere near his city form Liverpool and Bayern don't buy lazy players Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Clockwork 1,794 Posted July 24, 2022 Share Posted July 24, 2022 How come there is no accountability regarding Tuchel, are we going to say Sterling is past it also when he doesn’t live up to the hype under Tuchel? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There isn't? A lot of people here have questioned Tuchel's decisions so far - game time for Kennedy, Ross, Bats, Sarr ahead of Colwill, Gilmour, Vale. Tactically, I don't know what we are trying to achieve other than the 3-4-3 - side to side and cross we saw all season last time. Too early for accountability on Sterling. It is still pre-season Edited July 24, 2022 by Strike Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But let's stick with Havertz eh, another fucking waste of space. he was deffo on list of acceptable CF's I did several pretty large posts about his scoring stats my list back 6 months ago or so of 10 CF's actually good enough to buy and who were (even if only technically) still available so no Dusan Vlahovic and no Arnaut Danjuma who I was not considering a CF (now have changed my mind a bit on him there) multiple ones were pipe dreams but this was strictly from a talent level all are now off the table except for Osimhen and Danjuma (and he was not on that list) Quote Kylian Mbappe (IF you count him as a CF) Erling Haaland Harry Kane Victor Osimhen (this is who I would buy) Robert Lewandowski Lautaro Martínez Darwin Núñez Gabriel Jesus youth Karim Adeyemi and Hugo Ekitike Not sold at all yet on Amine Gouiri, too risky for what he would cost Edited July 24, 2022 by Vesper Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ZAPHOD2319 4,819 Posted July 24, 2022 Share Posted July 24, 2022 How is it possible that Tuchel did not notice that all game last night Arsenal moved the ball in to the final third with anyone that was matched up against Emerson? They exploited that area of the field all night and yet Tuchel praises him? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Superblue 6,372 Posted July 24, 2022 Share Posted July 24, 2022 One of the most frustrating aspects is just how far our scouting/recruitment has dropped off in recent years. It's not a million years ago in a relatively short span of 2 or 3 years we signed the likes of Azpi, Cahill, Courtois, De Bruyne, Salah, Oscar, even Hazard to a degree from what would be perceived as 'lesser' teams. We've moved away from this in recent times and seem to prefer to see if a player can move to a mid tier side and impress first. The only one I can really think of recently falling into such a category would be Mendy and that feels it was more of a case of finding a cost effective alternative to Kepa. There's been talk that we've scouted Raphinha since Rennes and Kounde since Bordeaux - if this is the case why aren't we pulling the trigger on some of these players for a fraction of the price that they're being quoted once they've made a move.

Exactly this! Osimhen before Lille couldn’t have happened as we had the ban in 2019 but could’ve fought with Napoli. Haaland too, Dortmund seemed to get him so easily in that January 2020 Window. Nkunku is also one (though people on here may not have been too enamoured with a so-called PSG reject back then). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
