summer '22 transfer craziness and stupidity

[Mac76]

I agree a bit of height would be good for our next CF - i wouldn' want to go back to endless crosses but we need to have that as a working option at times

I think Jesus would be a good bit of business. 25 years old, PL ready, already been coached by Arteta etc.

The perfect striker for us is unfortunately also a type of striker that doesn’t really grow on trees. Big, technically gifted, eye for a goal etc. You’re basically asking for the complete forward. We’ll do very well to find someone like that in our budget.

I think we should be looking at Schick as well tbh

Sounds like Haaland to City is imminent.

Probably the signing that will finally help them win the CL.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

They'll still fuck it up.

I'm not sure.

City's whole style is having that extra man in midfield, if they do have the "focal point" striker, surely that just inevitably means they lose some of that presence in the middle. Maybe they will just become even more near-unstoppable, maybe he'll just end up taking goals away from Mahrez, Foden, Sterling and Jesus (Sterling has 12 league goals, De Bruyne 11, Mahrez 11, Foden 9, Jesus 8) or maybe he'll be crocked like Aguero before him and like, well, Haaland. I may be wrong, but do City tend to drop points when this miss a few chances and lose 2-1 in a topsy turvy game, or when they're just nowhere near at it?

Or maybe I'm overthinking it.

Still, what an achievement.

Sounds like Tielemans could be our top midfield target this summer according to Ornstein.

Also, Elneny may have earned himself a new deal.

I'm happy with Elneny staying tbh.

Yeah as far as squad players go you can’t really ask for much more. Strong work ethic, reliable, doesn’t over complicate things on the pitch etc. Can go months without playing but still slot in easily when called upon.

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
