ponsaelius Posted June 29, 2022 Share Posted June 29, 2022 Looks like Danjuma to West Ham. It shows what we're competing with this season. Got to hope we get some serious quality in forward areas. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Got to hope we get some serious quality in forward areas. The top 4 are pushing ahead to consolidate and keep pace the moves of one another, but they're miles away from us atm anyway. West Ham are in that chasing pack for Europe, but certainly nowhere near competition for CL places yet. All we need to do is put ourselves in the position of safe mid-table with the possibility of top 8 and a good cup run. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
leffe186 Posted June 30, 2022 Share Posted June 30, 2022 Chelsea’s window is going from bad to amazing at a rapid pace. If they manage to get De Ligt, Sterling, Raphinha and Aké - which seems entirely plausible - that seems kinda incredible after how things were looking.

Richarlison to Spurs Raphinha to Chelsea Phillips to City Jesus to Arsenal Sterling to Chelsea possibly Gonna be weird. All good/great players but I'm pleased we didn't sign any of them, all of their strength and weaknesses are known in the PL. I love the idea we are buying relatively unknown quality players like Bruno and Botman (more to follow) and putting them alongside tried and trusted PL players (Tripps, Targett, Burn, Pope) and making the most or giving a chance to prove themselves to players already here (Joelinton, ASM, Scharr, Krafth)....it just seems like a nice balanced approach. The best thing is that when we buy players we are not familiar with, I have confidence that we know what we are doing and are buying quality players that fit with the project/ethos and all seem to be low key appointments....so yeah, they're all good players above but I am more than fucking happy with the NUFC approach...... in Eddie, the owners and now Ashworth I trust. Can't wait for next season, already excited. not felt so positive and looked forward to a season so much since they announced the arrival of KK....as a player!!

HTL I mean, sure, but it’s not like you had a choice between the two approaches. I genuinely don’t think you could have got a single one of those players…at this stage in proceedings. You’re just doing what any team in your position should be doing, just you have more flexibility and money than most have had. Take, I dunno, Leicester seven years ago - signing relatively unknown quality players (Kante, Inler, Demarai Gray, Amartey) putting them with tried and trusted PL players (Huth, Nathan Dyer) and making the most of players already there (Chilwell, Wes Morgan, Danny Drinkwater, Riyad Mahrez). One difference is that your “relatively unknown” quality players and other transfers in are costing about three or four times as much as Leicester paid. And that’s OK, it’s where you’re at. It’s just a bit strange to be pleased about not doing something that you couldn’t do even if you wanted. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wouldn't go that far. Of the teams we'll hopefully be competing with next season, there's only Kamara and potentially Danjuma that I'd be jealous of. Brighton are weaker, while Wolves and Leicester haven't strengthened yet. We're far from done too. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

STM Posted June 30, 2022 Share Posted June 30, 2022 Over paying by 20m in my mind. Richarlison is good but has a lot of flaws in his game. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

He averages 10 goals a season and through his career is almost a 1-3 goalscorer, is young, can play a variety of positions/roles. Is Brazilian, hard working, great temperament, it’s not hard to see. He will be to Spurs what Costa was to Chelsea under Conte, but less prolific. That’s a frightening forward line at Spurs. I would have loved him here.

The College Dropout Posted June 30, 2022 Share Posted June 30, 2022 Bigger issue is they surely don’t need him. Kane Son Kulu Perisic (ok maybe wingback) Richarlison is big depth. But I thought they need a CM, RWB and a CB more. West Ham signings look good. They look like top 6/7 signings. I don’t think we’ve made any ground on them squad wise so far. They have a good squad now. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Give me that over some meek nobody who hides all the time and trust me we’ve had many, Alan Smith being one of the worst examples. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
McCormick Posted June 30, 2022 Share Posted June 30, 2022 Just want to say firstly, that I’m happy with our business so far. I do think however that, with other teams making good moves in the market, we could end up spending 100m and still be no further forward (relatively speaking). Just goes to show how much money will be required to make that next step up. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

He will thrive under Conte, he seemed to revel under pressure at Everton last season and he seems an intense player on the pitch, similar to Bellamy for us or Costa for Chelsea and Conte loves that type of character. Spurs have always had too many nice players or soft players. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

West Ham have signed 2 highly regarded players for £80m Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
