summer '22 transfer craziness and stupidity

[KSE Comedy Club]

He definitely improved on his loan spell too.

I think he's been better than Partey at times tbh

I've been saying for years Elneny was just that, we need those players, Holding too and alao dare I say Chambers, if we still had him we wouldn't be stuck with a choice between Nuno and Cedric

Everyone wants worldies in every position, but it doesn't work like that. A successful team depends on reliable and committed squad players - and I have been so impressed with the likes of Elneny; Holding and Eddie at the sharp end of the season (although personally I think Eddie is a cut above and am pleased for him that he is showing it). Remember that Leno too showed real character when called upon. Elneny's contract negotiations show that Arteta is well aware of this, and it is real credit to him that he has our fringe players (Pepe excepted) fully bought into the cause and able to step up when required.

Definitely keep Mo. He's one of those players, like Holding, who you can just chuck into a random game without any warning (and without him needing a 3 or 4 game run to find confidence and form first) and he'll do a solid, predictable job. You might not want to build your whole game around him for any kind of extended period, but when you just need someone to come on and shore things up or execute a very specific plan then he's fucking great!

What does everyone think about maybe keeping Eddie?

Better hope he has better luck at Man City than his father .

We need more than one option up front anyway but he’s never going to be the main man with us. If he’s ok with being a support act then cool, give him a deal, it won’t change us going for someone Arteta genuinely wants to spearhead his team.

Kane

….bot doesn’t that mean Kane will stay at Spurs.
That’s a bad thing, no?

He will if Levy wants £100m+ for him! No one's paying that for a 29yo.

Hopefully he'll resent every stinking minute he's forced to stay there.

Its a yes from me. Depends on the player of course but particularly if we get CL football why would he want to leave the club, even if he is not our first choice striker? Whatever happens he will get games next season because we are in Europe, and the manager has to rotate. He is still so young, and there are few in the league - even in Europe - at 22 who are close to his level at that age. We love Martinelli, but as a striker Nketiah is in a different league ATM. Plus he is a Hale End graduate and I think his presence will add to the 'home grown' feeling that we are building.

He will be back up of course - possibly to a more senior striker and a front 3 player like Jesus - but he has shown that he would be an excellent understudy.
