Maybe Chalobah (but he is out injured atm) along with CHO, Lukaku. Ziyech's on his way to Turkey so hopefully that's sorted.

I did not see any indication that the club wanted to sell him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There is a reason he was wanted by big clubs. He had his personal issues too, and some players are impacted more by stuff off the field. Lets see how he goes.

The main issue I see with him is our own system: similar to azpi, he's just not good enough in attack to play WB, so he ends up being more effective in the back 3. That limits his usability, but yeah let's see what Poch does with him. Edited August 19, 2023 by robsblubot Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheHulk 2,636 Posted August 19, 2023 Share Posted August 19, 2023 (edited) Maybe its time we accept Vlahovic, get rid of Lukaku and all these links to plodders like Johnson and Balogun. Edited August 19, 2023 by TheHulk bigbluewillie 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I dont think us, Man City, PSG or even Liverpool who were linked heavily at one point, would of walked away from the chance to sign him for £34m (think that was his release clause) if he was really that good. Or thats what I think personally. And surprisingly, Madrid, Barca and Atletico weren’t even linked which says a lot considering they are for all the big talents in Spain. Nothing against Napoli but I wouldn’t say they sign the sort of players top top clubs sign, more like they sign players who have talent and make them into players that top top clubs want to buy.

Maybe Juventus could actually come down on their asking price for Vlahovic and the deal would be done. They were originally asking for Lukaku + 40 mil for him, which is crazy for a player who scored only 10 goals last season in Serie A. mkh 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Balogun or Johnson won't be on 250kpw contracts. I mean imagine wanting to get off a shit striker who no one wants because of his astronomical wages with a shittier striker on astronomical wages. Atleast Lukaku has the resume of winning and leading inter to a scudetto. Vlahovic is literally as bad as the players you mentioned but on 5x the wages.

Duppy Conqueror 1,584 Posted August 19, 2023 Share Posted August 19, 2023 Watching highlight video of Doku,skins full backs but then shits the bed,routinely failing to move the ball past any defender on the near post. Barcola and Johnson offer more.RW with CF capabilities,Johnson proven in PL,HG and brave in the box. lucio and mkh 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Defenders will eat him alive. I would be ok if we dont buy though. None seem to be world class potential, all 3 will end up as squad fillers. Use maatsen if required in wings if we cant find anyone good. Only kudus is someone i would love Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Only kudus is someone i would love I'd be content with what we have on wings being given a chance but when a RW can also add goals and be 2nd/3rd choice CF like say Anelka was then think we should go for it.Kudus i'd like too.
