Grow new HG players in one season, rely on buying endless rotation of U21s for big cash or put club in position where we have just minimum number of HG players to enter any competition and be held for ransom by them during contract talks? I understand this is a message directed to Mount, but still. Btw the IF part is fun. For now it looks like missing on any Euro football is the more probable option, than not and longer they swear by Potter, the more real it gets, so maybe it's good time to make some solid arrangements for wasting second season, instead of "if". Just sell Mount while he still has value. Fernando 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pizy 19,280 Posted February 15, 2023 Share Posted February 15, 2023 Bellingham would be a pretty odd fit IF we decide to buy Felix permanently. Which I of course hope we do. We saw Felix occupy that area behind the striker against WH and he was brilliant there. Bellingham likes to get forward and get into those areas frequently as well so I’m not sure it’s wise to pair Enzo with a player like that. We’d be best served signing Rice/Caicedo/Koné. I’d obviously never say no to Bellingham but I’m not sure how having just Enzo as the primary shield for the defense would look.

Also in England Jude played last couple of games as AM with Rice and Henderson behind. Enzo is a #6 essentially. Will look good next to a DM or box to box.

Vegetable 830 Posted February 15, 2023 Share Posted February 15, 2023 (edited) I wonder who does benefit the most from publicly admitting transfer targets for summer in February. We may pet a player's ego and mind a little, but on the other hand, it's inflating his already inflated price tag even more… Edited February 15, 2023 by Vegetable Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fernando 6,725 Posted February 15, 2023 Share Posted February 15, 2023 Enzo and Jude I'm not sure unless we 3 in the mid then you might as well get Rice because we need a DM even if we get Jude. kexik 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fernando 6,725 Posted February 15, 2023 Share Posted February 15, 2023 (edited) I think that club is producing some good players. If I'm not mistaken Caicedo came from there. But as always with youth is a bit hit and miss for us. However if the new transfer committee are good at what they do they will hopefully do an improvement then previous outgoing regime for South America Scouting.

The rest is just a result of his personality or the lack thereof. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nkunku Mudryk Felix Mudueke Enzo Bellingham So far it's looking to me like Noni will be an exciting backup here, rather than a starter. Not enough variety in his M.O. to consistently hurt defences familiar with what he wants to do. I like him a lot (on the right) but when FFP permits, I can see the manager wanting an alternative.

I think this game proves that if we are going with this formation in the future we definitely need DM next to Enzo. He looks good going up and we need to provide him that which I cannot see possible with Jude. MoroccanBlue and kexik 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SL Benfica tops the table with a total academy graduates’ value of €670 million spread between 104 players, of which €151m for 20 footballers whose transfer rights are still owned by the Portuguese team. Chelsea and Barcelona round up the podium. The total estimated transfer value of the 78 Chelsea’s academy graduates identified is €630m, while that of the 102 footballers trained by Barcelona is €581m. Three Brazilian teams are in the top 10: São Paulo, Santos and Flamengo. Considering only the players whose transfer rights are still owned by their training club, the top three consist of Chelsea (€325m), Barcelona (€280m) and Manchester City (€250m). Transfer values were assessed through a statistical model exclusively developed by the CIES Football Observatory research team. A toolkit developed in association with Wyscout available on subscription notably includes the estimates for >30,000 players from 75 leagues worldwide.
