    ÂŁ17m when they want ÂŁ40m?! I smell bull shit!
  4. Right now Elanga is a better player with a better mindset. Madueke is probably a more talented player.

    He's not going for €20mil
  6. That navy and orange pops beautifully, like. Might pop myself if it's orange numbers. Bit of a joke the long sleevers can't be a single garment, mind.
  7. I think we will change system if we get Pedro. But we still need midfield cover. If Isak and a midfielder is unavailable- we need to be able to play a competent 433.
  8. If we dont change system and use Pedro (if he signs), midfield will be knackered by new year.
  9. I will celebrate the club sacking Noon off like a new signing.
  10. that'll look great on the pitch. unsure on the collar, but very smart overall.
  11. Aye Madueke looks technically solid but output and attitude isn’t there. Opposite with Elanga. About the same level overall - good PL winger with potential
  12. Just because i prefer a different type of player to Elanga, one that offers a bit more in general play and a bit of guile/higher technical ability. It doesn’t mean prime David Silva with Gordon’s pace. I’ve said it before, he’s not shite, and I think he’d do well here, but it doesn’t change the fact that I think I’d prefer something else that improves a lot of our other weaknesses. Howe will definitely improve him and so will better players around him. I think improving our control of games and ball retention would mean less chasing when defending at times, as well as conserving a lot of energy over a busy long season with tons of games. Yes there are other positions where we can improve this as well, I just think when you look at what we already have in our wide areas it wouldn’t hurt having something slightly different. I also don’t see too many other areas where we can improve technically without replacing one of our better players. Obviously GK and Botman coming back helps. Im also thinking that a player with a bit more in general play and guile could drag the opposition out of shape more (when not in transitions) which I think would help Tino to perform at his best as well as giving a bit more space centrally for Isak at times. Ive also said that IF we get someone like Pedro between Isak and say Tonali and Bruno then I’d be much more open to signing someone like Elanga who’s absolute strongest attribute is his pace and crossing to a degree. Because then we’d automatically get more space for our wide players to exploit as well as a bit more creativity and variety in our play by being more dangerous from central areas more often. That would make a massive difference to someone like Elanga I think, as well as Gordon. I’ve said all the above a few times over. Seems to be a lot of fuss from some people in here as soon as we prefer a different type of player that EH seemingly wants. Once again, I think he’d do well here, but I just don’t think he’s the player to throw 60m on. I will back him and I’m also sure that if he signs I will be getting tons of undeserved flak as soon as he does some things well Despite not thinking he’s shite or anything of the sort. Pedro in and I think he would be a good signing even if not my ideal choice. I’ve followed him since his youth and he definitely has his strengths but also quite big weaknesses. Yea like many other players. I just think that his weaknesses won’t improve our current ones which I think is the next step to evolve another level. Let’s just see if it happens to begin with 👍

    Marc Guehi

    Us signing Guehi hasn’t looked a realistic possibility since mid August.
  14. I like it quite a bit; can see myself getting it when it's cheaper nearer to the end of next season. The Noon patch is an awful clash with the orange but you've just got to accept that now. The gap on the long sleeves looks utterly stupid, but I love the base colour and that pinstripe texture, and the collar/cuff detail is really nice. Generally a hit for me. Orange numbers will seal the deal. 🤞
  15. Not being able to play 433 effectively because of 1 injury or suspension is a priority. Even if it’s a body. The way the Arsenal CB was able to come in Kiwior - he’s proper backup but he can go against us and Real. We don’t have that player. Miley isn’t trusted. Neither are the other 2 who will probably be sold anyway.
  16. So the stadium rebuild that took place in the 90’s was paid for by the council?
