Gordon and Barnes at LW when each can cover RW and Gordon can play striker is what we should be building toward. Focussing on Geuhi while ignoring RW is not. We could have signed a young RCB as cover for Schar and gone after a RW in the summer window. We had at least 65M to spend in the summer. Not improving RW becasue we can't get good money for Miggy is insane. Who cares? As for disparing Brighton; at least they had a quality signing at RW in the summer.

Johan Bakayoko? Contract expires summer 2026. Transfermarkt

Maybe this release clause rumor is true (i don't think it is) but it seems more likely that a bigger signing bonus and salary and getting to stay in West London was probably more impactful.

What was Osula for? Three strikers on payroll is a luxury we can't afford when we need a cb and rw too.

Yes, limited to EPL. Coutinho and Hazard if you include Spain (Barcelona and Real Madrid). transfermarkt

One. Enzo Fernandez to Chelsea for €121.00m. Grealish and Declan Rice were just under that amount.

I thought we had a real chance at Madueke right after Chelsea brought in Neto.

Wasn't he poor to average for Sheffield United? Not sure why we think he is a quality starting striker just because we spent a small amount on him.

A lot of people said scoring isn't a problem when we were spending so much effort on a defensive transfer. Scoring is a problem.

Why? We get Botman and Lascelles back in the winter so we could add a rw in that window without worrying about the back line as much.

our negotiations with CP:

The away jersey has been the best for two straight years. Really happy with this year's quality and design.

I'm not convinced Guehi is definitely better than Schar so I think a center back that provides cover for Schar and Botman and even Tino would be fine in the short term.

I'll add Antonio Silva from Benfica (mentioned him in the Guehi thread). He is 20 and can play both center back positions.

1,6,3.

He's only 20. Maybe in 4 years he equals Guehi. We have more to spend on RW that way too.

Antonio Silva-Benfica for less money this winter. Let him play behind Schar to get acclimated. He can step in to cover Botman too like Guehi.

Palace did us a favor, rejecting the £65M. It may have bruised the egos of our staff, but they are professionals and will learn a lesson and move on.

His injury history was quite good until this last year and exceptional before he joined NUFC.

Seems like Osula should go out on loan. I can't imagine him being ready for the Premier League.

Journalists stirring the pot. I don't think there is as much dissention as is being rumored. Eddie wanted Guehi and the club did everything it possibly could to make that happen. We simply were not going to spend £70m. We will have a productive winter window that will catapult the club to European football.

We were forced to sell Minteh and Anderson, and we spent a lot of money for Tonali to not play for a year.

Forgot about that, and he will be 33 too. Zhegrova purchase in winter and David purchase in summer would be outstanding business. I love Wilson, but we can't keep him on payroll at 33 with his injury history. Zhegrova and Diomande next two in please.

David would be an excellent replacement for Wilson if he does not demand to start, but we would need to move Wilson on now that we have Osula too. Zhegrova would be an absolute perfect rw in the winter window so i doubt it happens. Gomes feels like a luxury purchase that would need to come after rw and cb.

What?
