Mohammed Kudus

It's a good point. If we have threats from both sides and number 10 then space has to appear somewhere. You can't just identify Kudus as the threat and negate him.

Gutted for the guy missing the WC though.

Bold claim. I don't believe anynof our players will be uninjured until I see them play our first game.

And even then there’s still a risk of them then re-injuring themselves and requiring further surgery, as we saw with Kulusevski and Maddison…
 
I guess timing is everything. I guess there will be one trajectory for the players that return 1st July and a couple of other cycles for returning WC players. It will be interesting to see where Kudus slots into this or whether he is on his own returning cycle. Same with Kulu.

I'm really hopeful these two can be part of the early RDZ tenure cycle.

Be interesting, in ideal world, preseason allows Kudus, Maddison and Solanke to build up match fitness so we can start with them as season begins.

Concern again is walking into a season where a significant amount of the squad is still unavailable or unknown fitness wise.
 
Has anyone got proof that Kudus had surgery on his thigh injury?

I saw that he was trying to rest it and avoid surgery, am concerned he might try to rest it all summer, then realise in August that he needs surgery.

But maybe he DID have surgery. Are there photos etc?

Was only talking about this last night. He’s been incredibly quiet since his injury (as is his right). I’ve not seen anything on his socials or even credible rumours on his progress
 
I think he can find the next level next season. Playing for Thomas Frank, Kudus would get the ball booted forwards to him, would be double marked, and yet people would expect him to make things happen.

Now we are less one dimensional and have true passers in the team in Fernandes and Tonali. So Kudus should get a bit more space, especially if we upgrade our striker and left wing options. And he will receive the ball to feet more often which means he can act quicker in possession.

I think he will be a strong player for us, think he will suit De Zerbi’s game plans.

agree. thomas frank didn't have any tactics around him but dezerbi will change that.
unlike TF, dezerbi likes sudden attacks - quick sprints to the far post or quickly overwhelming the box, so i think kudus will enjoy next season much better (and i am much looking forward to it)
 
RdZ likes 2 touch, Kudus likes 12 touch.
Kudus likes to hang on to the ball and dribble and attract 3 or 4 players; RdZ will be working on his offloads i.e. don't try to beat those 4 men, attract them to you and then give the ball to someone else.

I still think it will be sorting out the left side that will have the biggest impact on Kudus's performances. Before Kudus got injured I don't really feel like our left side was operating that well. We had Spence and Simons playing on their wrong foot and no left sided centre mid. I would have like to have seen Kudus and Tel working the wide channels in the same team and a fully fit Solanke leading the line. Even having Udogie's power down the left would have given our opposition something to think about.
