    Brennan Johnson

    Johnson needs to be released to be effective. For him to have more of an impact we need players who can release him. A more natural 10 (including if Bergvall grows into that player over time) changes that somewhat at least.

    FFS...it's happening again!!!

    Can definitely relate, and I don't want to learn. Think the squad has been moving in a good direction for a few years. Essentially since Paratici came in and started signing players like Udogie and Sarr with more of a long term focus than we'd had for years. Despite some real ups and downs...

    Djed Spence

    Good news. Wonderful player, perhaps in need of finding more consistency, but that may also have been a result of a lack of experience at this level and a massive workload at times last season.

    Cristian Romero

    Absolutely excellent news. Wasn't part optimistic about that happening this summer.

    Brennan Johnson

    Johnson seems to put in the work to me. Not strong in duels, but as you say others can compensate for that. Also on other qualities, particularly what Kudus brings. Part of the problem in recent seasons was that too many players had rather similar shortcomings. Son and Johnson were both rather...

    Savinho

    Cole Palmer had 3 league starts for City over two years? In hindsight Chelsea got a fantastic deal. Elanga was 55m. Kind of agree on Savinho being on the level of Hudson Odoi. If Hudson Odoi was putting in those performance at 21 and someone tried to buy him he would cost a lot of money. Even...

    Savinho

    Doue had two years left on his contract at Rennes and they were always going to sell. Doue is great, but wasn't at that time proven elite at the highest level. Kvara wanted out at Napoli, refused to sign a new contract. Unsurprisingly when those players became available for a reasonable fee...

    Squad

    The "buy everyone, keep whoever does really well, sell rinse and repeat" approach to squad building.

    *** OMT Tottenham Hotspur v Burnley FC ***

    The squad is in a much better place than a year ago. Losing Maddison was a blow, but having added Kinsky, Danso, Tel and Kudus adds a lot to this squad. Then Gray, Bergvall, Spence, Odobert all being a year older, more experienced and proven. We did lose Sonny too, but Sonny was no longer the...

    Savinho

    Guess it depends on who you compare him to. I would have little to no concerns about him being ready to perform at a good level in the PL and CL if we sign him, he's already done that, that's what I mean by proven. 70m imo isn't elite level money imo. Elite players go for way more on the rare...

    Tom Carroll couldn't have done it better.

    Lucas Bergvall

    Think he gets himself a bit lost as a 10. Not quite up there supporting and working around the striker, not quite able to find those pockets between the lines, not quite dropping deep to playmake. But even so he does a good job and just needs the ball to drop to him to show what he can do, as...

    Savinho

    Said it before, but this was the window where it finally made sense for us to be pushing the boat out on individual ready made players at a very high level because we have the foundations of the squad mostly in place. Going from rebuild to redecorating. I very much share your hope.

    Savinho

    Started almost every game and (based on reports) was one of the best players in a Girona team that finished 3rd in La Liga scoring 9 and assisting 10 in the process. Was immediately and obviously picked up by one of the best teams in the world. That's at 19. Started a bit over half the games in...

    Eberechi Eze

    Was mostly a joke and partly about tons of situations, not the MGW one in particular. Feels promising for sure. Agreed. His name fits in that thread title. As will perhaps Kudus, and imo give it a year Savinho should we get him.

    Thomas Frank - Head Coach

    Definitely one to watch with a lot of games and a step up from EL to CL this season. Already a good squad hopefully getting significantly better by the end of the window, but will still be a squad lacking in balance in some ways. How Frank is able to rotate and adapt to the opposition including...

    *** OMT Tottenham Hotspur v Burnley FC ***

    Thanks and fully agreed. Good to see him get game time this early. But games next to one of those more experienced players could also be really good for him. Showed last season how good he can be under pressure when he played at the back.

    Savinho

    I think the reported fee is about where it should be for him. He's a fantastic talent who is already proven at the highest level having turned 21 around the end of last season. Pep has a history of being really positive in the media about players he's about to sell. I think they're willing to...
