Yeah agree with all of that!

The majority of our recent goals conceded have come aerially. This would definitely help us going forward but it may make us concede more.

Were you at the Forest Newcastle match? Or a different one? He was brilliant. Throughout the whole game we only started playing well after he came on. The pundits had a 10 min analysis on how well he played after the game. He’s had a tricky time of it over the last year but as a fan it’s important to give credit where it is due.

Best player on the pitch after he came on. Fair play

If only it was all that simple. The truth is there is a trade off between keeping players and the ability to buy new players because of the legislation in place.

Apologies for saying I don’t think Guehi is worth £70M. I’ll try not to disagree with you again.

Read your post back. Put emphasis on ‘Honestly you’d think some on here had decades of experience working in football analytics they way they speak with such utter authority.’ And try to see the irony lol

has a go at someone else ‘starting a fight’. Starts next post with ‘excuse me’. Califiori was just named in the Serie A team of the season. Hes not tested in the premier league yet but over the last 12 months he was one of the best cb’s in Europe…

Calafiori?

Ok, I’ll sit back and wait for all these £100M CB’s that will be bought/ sold. I don’t think there’ll be many…

Similar money? Just the 30% less for a player with a far greater ceiling.

Not that many. The highest transfer fee this whole summer is £65m. Other than Brighton clubs have spent less this summer than the last few windows. PSR/FFP will cause transfer fees to drop as we are seeing now. I honestly don’t think the list would be that long. Arsenal have just signed one of the best defenders in Europe for £37M.

How many CB’s have been sold for more than £70M?

I think you’re missing the point. The guys point is if you’re paying best player in the world money. The player you’re signing should be one of the best players in the world. He isn’t saying the biggest transfer fees in the world are the best players in the world. If anything you’re proving his point at how many high transfer fee failures there have been. He’s terrible in the air, can’t show a player down the wing and easily switches off. I’d avoid.

Yeah Thiaw isn’t the answer. My Milan colleagues think he’s atrocious and are desperate for him to be sold…
