The College Dropout

You lot love him again yh?

Lighten up man

You lot let me sell Isak for a hit with this run coming up? The Champ is a benevolent and helpful champ but the favour is not returned.

People dislike agents because football clubs tell them to dislike them. If Harry Kane had a proper agent he wouldn’t have wasted a year or two of his prime at a non-ambitious Spurs. This is not a big deal I assume. The agents will get paid. Just PIF being slow which isn’t unusual for big businesses and governments. Other clubs do it too.

Arsenal are the 3rd biggest club in England to me. They have been consistently successful for 100 years. The most FA Cups. The 3rd most league titles.

At least 3. When his van lands he’s a sell.

Liverpool wage bill is twice ours. big difference in official squad cost numbers from the accounts. Granted transfrmarkt will be more up to date but their numbers are not as reliable as official accounts and are in euros not sterling.

We’ve not spent much since they started handing out points deductions for PSR non compliance.

Under £30m for Bakayoko sounds like a great deal.

They might have CL play offs. It’s them I want. Id fancy us against Spurs or Arsenal in a final mind. We’ll lose to Liverpool at any stage.

Tyler Dibling will cost £40-50m. Lad is going to the top.

I've been saying this for months on end (FWIW we are more 7th/8th). It's 7th/8th by a distance from 6th too.

PSR won't allow an Isak level signing. It has to be a Joao Pedro type.

I didn't - I did say he had good raw attributes. Quick, size, can use both feet, worked hard, aggressive. Didn't see a high technique, creativity or the ability to consistently get into goalscoring opportunities then finish them off. Poor 1v1 against defender stats. I was wrong about the goalscoring, and getting into positions - his off-the-ball movement, mindset and aggression is great. And I under-rated his ability to draw fouls, bookings, sending off, win penalties etc. But I was right that he's not great at attacking his fullback 1v1. He's not creative. His lack of elite technical ability on the ball stops him from becoming an elite player or even just an elite finisher. But he's also solid technically at the same time but a step below Barnes. He is genuinely one of our best players. I accept his limitations. I guess I'm saying, I do rate him... but not like that. A lot of my issues were fair. And he's scored 2 goals from open play in the league

Me too. It's been start-stop for him with niggling injuries and others playing well. Needs to stay fit and get minutes and develop. A big part is you look at Minteh, about 6ft but a stringbean. 5-10lb of lean muscle and he's stronger and faster. I do think Bakayoko is more developed and would be more consistent from the off. Phsyically, technically - more experienced.
