    If they have a poor season under Maresca I can see Barca or PSG going after Haaland next summer.

    Don’t blame him. After the players Villa have lost this summer, at that stage of my career I’d be ecstatic at that being my final contract. He’ll be set up for a very financially comfortable life post-football.

    It’s not our starting front 3, especially now we have Savinho and Marmoush (apparently) joining. Leaving them out of it, if we can get Kudus, Solanke and Madders back soon the picture looks a lot rosier.

    Cody Gakpo

    Willingness generally depends on a lack of ego and I haven’t yet seen anything in these players to believe that would be an issue.

    Archie Gray

    One of my reasons for wanting us to move Bergvall on is to get Gray into his preferred midfield role. I thought he was excellent at times for us last season in midfield. His ceiling may not quite be as high as Bergvall’s but his floor is significantly higher.

    Yes. Tbf the whole team struggled to deal with Brentford’s movement and we were often looking around trying to figure out who to mark rather than it being instinctive. That lost second always keeps you behind the play at this level (and credit where it’s due Brentford were excellent in their...

    Cody Gakpo

    I like Kroupi A LOT, think he could be the next Henry, but is he the guy to fill the CF void for us? He profiles similar to Marmoush (who I like too) as a second striker/inside winger player but without the traditional CF to play off of they often struggle in the lone #9 role. So much of this...

    The decision to let Lankshear leave doesn’t look so good now, does it? brick, after Sunday I’d start Scarlett over Richy again if Solanke can’t give us 90 minutes. I still think Deki could play CF when he returns similarly to Havertz down the road. I’d hope our Scouting Dept. would have a line...

    Cody Gakpo

    As much as I dream for Osimhen to join, we would have to beat out Arsenal and Barcelona to get him. He would be the final piece for me. But I’d give it a 1% chance at best.

    Cody Gakpo

    Valid points from you and Muttley. If, and that’s a big IF, Solanke can stay fit this year he has a real opportunity to make his case as our starting CF moving forwards. He has the ability but I have doubts about his mentality and how much he really wants it. Hopefully, if we can surround him...

    Cody Gakpo

    Iraola has said they need more wingers so I don’t expect them to sell Gakpo this summer.

    Lucas Bergvall

    I think Bergvall is more suited to playing alongside a single pivot as one of the two 8/10s. However, having the player who can play as the lone pivot, such as Rodri, is a rarity and luxury these days. I just don’t see him making the necessary improvements required for him to become a regular...

    Cody Gakpo

    Now we have Savinho and Marmoush, with Kudus apparently back soon, I don’t see the need for Gakpo anymore. What we need mostly is a true #9 and I’d spend any money we had set aside for Gakpo on that position.

    He’s not the long-term answer by any stretch but does offer a lot more physicality in the lone CF role than Richy for sure. If he’s the last option available on 8/31 @ 6pm I’d consider bringing him in. However, once we get better at playing through a press and pinning teams back, he is...

    Roberto De Zerbi *OFFICIAL*

    Considering we only had 3-4 starters playing and our 5th choice captain while we appear to be tenderly bringing the majority of our best players back, I think there’s a valid argument be made on RDZ’s behalf here. Many of our players were at a ludicrously long WC and we are still suffering...

    Mathys Tel

    and he didn’t lose the ball often either. His defending is the poorest part of his game but I thought he gave Kayode, a player I rate, a tough test, especially with little support inside from Gallagher, Richy or Bergvall.

    The Centre Forward thread

    For a free or minimal transferred fee I would consider him, but with the full expectation he is a stop-gap signing till we can find a true #9 (of which there is a massive shortage of options…Barca, Man U, Villa, us etc. are all needing one). Or can we find the next Thiago.

    He has the mentality too. He doesn’t quit and relentlessly attacks his defender. We need more of this type of player. He's quickly growing into one of my favorites.

    So the sale had absolutely nothing to do with Takai being awarded the K-League “Best Young Player” award for 2024, making his debut for the senior Japanese national team and being a part of the team that went to the Asian Champions League final? Or we just made a lucky guess in choosing him...

    Yeah, not sure why anyone can have any type of opinion on Takai since he was injured all of last season and didn’t play a single minute that I’m aware of. But he’s from a non-traditional footballing country so he must be brick…
