summer '22 transfer craziness and stupidity

[selassie]

Martinelli’s finishing was incredibly suspect given the opportunities he made for himself. And this is a player I really enjoy watching because of his raw pace, ability to skin defenders and create things.

I must confess despite disagreeing with you about Saka, it will be interesting to see what his goal scoring tally will be when we aren’t playing with Lacazette up front. If he gets into double figures again brilliant but no guarantee of that.

Martinelli is still a bit of a headless chicken and very rash with his decision making and finishing at times. He has high potential but I don't think we can rely on him as a bonafide starter next season, same with ESR, they should be used as quality rotation options. Saka is clearly a key player, he has flaws but his numbers are decent. I still think we need to address Central Midfield as a priority, we need another wide player...but that should come after Central Midfield and cover for left back, maybe even right back too depending on Cedric's situation.

I'd say it's close but, assuming Vieira can play that 8 role then a winger is the priority for me. Particularly right wing, with Pepe being our best option, by some distance.

Martinelli and ESR on the left isn't great but it'll do and Saka can come from his backup LB role to fill in as a winger in an emergency, for me.

Ah, ok then......
