    He's a bit "oh, you like Kudus, would you like another Kudus". And yes I would. (I know that's an imperfect comparison). But seems really unlikely. Then again I didn't think MGW or Savinho would end up as potential targets for us this summer.

    João Palhinha

    In the longer term, yes. Short term there's a lot of variance/luck. Frank seems to be doing what he can, and what he can seems to be really good.

    I think all in all the City game was fairly close. Had they taken their chances it would have been a different story. But going to their place and making it a close game is great as a performance. Arguably one of our best performances of the wins over them in recent years, not a smash and grab...

    Daniel Levy - Chairman

    Part of how Arsenal got there was good long term thinking and planning. Like signing Saliba and loaning him out for a couple of years until he was ready. Developing players. Some "squad fillers". We're imo some way down a similar trajectory. Need to keep that up, don't panic, don't just buy...

    Lucas Bergvall

    Agreed. Danso also already looks really good. Solanke imo is a very good player (will he be "top" under Frank, time will tell. I like Tel, know others don't, but still very early for him, Odobert and Kinsky. Don't mind not getting a player or two or three or whatever. Have a good list of good...

    Maybe in some cases. Though we've been able to sign some fantastically talented players with Levy in charge so if true not always the case. If a player sees us as just a stepping stone to that extent sign someone else instead anyway. I doubt Levy would put much effort in a smoke screen...

    Lucas Bergvall

    Really liked his cameo against City. Just a handful of minutes, it was 2-0 and the game was starting to look won - but we all know how quickly that changes if they get a goal. And a fairly hectic and relatively high pressure situation to get subbed into. Slotted straight in, no issues. Did his...

    Who are you thinking of? I think we're looking to shop in a rather exclusive category of young players. Proven very good at a high level with potential for further development. We could go for another Bergvall type signing for example, but seem to be prioritising here and now quite highly. If...

    Djed Spence

    That's part of the bonus with Spence really. Either side would be good. Even if we don't sign another full back we have decent cover with 3 because Spence has that versatility. A LB/CB hybrid could be super useful. In part because Spence can play both sides. And he's fairly versatile beyond...

    Post Emirates Marketing Project wins is one of my favourite categories of podcasts you guys do... Keep up the good work. Hope we face City in the CL, FA Cup and League Cup.

    Brennan Johnson

    Absolutely. And he's been doing that for several years now, opponents should be very aware of it. Yet he keeps getting it right. Having that threat should open up space for others if we can exploit it. Still want him to improve and hope he can do that. But labelling him a tap in merchant is at...

    Hopefully Gray can continue building on a decent start against Burnley and make himself a real option there.

    Transfer thread

    Assuming the rumours are true and we wanted to sign both and could afford it. It may also be that we could spend 130m, but that doing so would depend on fairly favourable payment structures etc. So difficult to know for sure. But yeah, disappointing if we don't see significant movement...

    Piero Hincapié

    Left footed, natural left sided CB. Has also played quite a bit as a left back. And is really highly rated. May not be our biggest priority, but a hybrid LB/CB player is a player we've needed for some time. Essentially a Ben Davies upgrade while also making us less reliable on VDV going into a...

    João Palhinha

    This may be true. But the performance he put in against City is kind of what he does. It's what he's been doing for years anyway. And that day for sure was a fine day. Looks likely that there are more fine days to come. No real reason to think he won't be putting in performances like that with...

    Thomas Frank - Head Coach

    Yeah, good example. Let's hope that comparison can somewhat hold up tactically - a really high bar to be held to mind. Unlike Tuchel Frank seems like a genuinely nice person and a good leader over time. That counts for a lot in my book at least.

    Pape Matar Sarr

    Very much doing well. And getting some key involvements. If he can keep delivering that with a good frequency along with everything else he does so well he's an immense player. "Quantity has a quality all of its own" - usually attributed to Joseph Stalin. Sarr may not be the most creative or...

    Tough start for them and Moore. Not sure that's a bad thing for his development though.

    Transfer thread

    Think it would be really difficult to get another key player out of West Ham this summer for us in particular. We may be getting desperate, I don't know. But if we had a list of really good creative PL proven midfielders with some experience as potential targets going into this summer he's very...

    Cristian Romero

    A compilation from the City game and an argument from Harry Brooks that he's the best CB in the world. I'm not sure he's the best in the world. There have been times where someone has been so clearly the best that most people agree, now I think it's close enough between several and no one is...
