I'd be shocked if we didn't finish in Europe as it stands, let alone with more signings to come in. I love when people say this and totally disregard the injuries other teams had last season and also the fact every other team is building and improving their squads. Man Utd, Chelsea (at an insane level) West Ham, Spurs & Brighton have all improved their squads massively Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Prophet Posted August 16, 2024 Share Posted August 16, 2024 Perhaps the short term plan is to partner him with Burn then. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

There's an argument that Liverpool, Villa and Chelsea will be worse off even if Man U, Spurs and Brighton improve. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Prophet Posted August 16, 2024 Share Posted August 16, 2024 People regularly equate buying players to improving. It can and often is the case, but it's not a guarantee. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not all Howes fault as he's not currently there, but Bournemouth have got shot of Solanke now, so we'll never know if it could have worked out in the end or not.

It’s up in the air how they’ll be but the fact Chelsea are only one u could pick up it proves my point. People always make the point that we’ll be fine next season referring back to last season and the injuries but completely ignore the fact other teams have strengthened from last season Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Displayname Posted August 16, 2024 Share Posted August 16, 2024 Might be a little overpriced in terms of his market value, but who cares if Eddie believes that this is that guy that will complete our back four line up for years to come. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

If so, what did they do wrong that stopped us from winning the league or getting into Europe ? Well where to start. Didn't start Tino and Hall when both Trippier and Burn were throwing points away like confetti. Bought Tonali and then couldn't play him for most of the season. Ran the players into the ground leading to an unprecedented injury crisis. Still relied on Wilson to back up Isac. Bought Barnes who we didn't need. Started Miggy at RW. No plan B on the pitch to mitigate the fact that we were unable to play our normal high press aggressive football. We wouldn't have won the league but we should have qualified for Europe.

Norseman Posted August 16, 2024 Share Posted August 16, 2024 Hope this bid is accepted. It's a lot of money, but you look at other transfers like Leny Yoro £52m + addons, and we clearly have identified Guehi as being worth spending this much on.

khay Posted August 16, 2024 Share Posted August 16, 2024 The fans correct though, if we dont get Guehi this window, he signs a new deal with a clause and he moves on next summer. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
