The same manager bought 100m Lukaku to be his strike man, and instead of replacing him with a similar mold of player, he is replacing him with auba. I think it's quite clear that Lukaku was bought due to the desire of others, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lukaku himself said that Tuchel convinced him to move, just like Sterling and Cucu have this summer. People argue that Lukaku doesn’t fit Tuchel tactic and that is why he was forced on him, it is not that simple. Managers better than Tuchel have recruited players that were bad fit. Reality is Tuchel last summer knew that he needed more goals, and Lukaku was viewed as a top striker. Again this summer he views the same issue, which is why he is pushing for Auba. You guys act like Tuchel is thinking long term, its not always the case. He is looking for immediate result. Actually we have more data on Marina and the board and their preference, when is the last time they purchased a 28 year old player for a club record fee? They prefer younger players with resale value. I think the biggest criticism of the board is unwilling to spend that extra bit of money on players. So no it makes no sense to think they spent a club record on a 28 year old player, oh also force it on a manager. Pretty sure they would have preferred a cheaper option than Lukaku. blahblahblah and Boycie 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If he works out and kills it Tuchel will look like a genius. But if he hand picks this kid and he flops after we spend £60m on him that’s sackable. Callum out for Gordon does not make any sense.

Cal hasn’t been able to beat a man in space in like a year now. He’s useless. And he’s also lazy. At least Gordon will run his socks off for o- minutes and can dribble last players. He’s a pain in the ass to opposing teams with his pace and energy. I can see why TT wants him. But the price tag is laughable.

There's plenty to back it up, actually. This is something I've mentioned on multiple occasions and don't have the urge to repeat the same things. I'll just say this - Tuchel (in your opinion of how things work) went for Haaland from the get go, but the club was ultimately priced out of any potential transfer; he then decided to go left field & went for someone with a less than stellar past in the EPL. Please answer that conundrum so I have a clearer picture of the ins and outs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hard to fight a nice story mate. People have build up narratives around TT and Lukaku. Literally absolved TT of any and all blame.

But obviously he ain’t getting that here. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DDA 10,284 Posted August 23, 2022 Share Posted August 23, 2022 Watching highlights of Gordon... he really does look quite impressive actually. Needs to improve on his numbers... The more I watch of Leao the less impressed I am by him. 😐 ChrissWTF 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
