True. Is Madueke that much better though?

Yeah that's true. A shame because clearly that's a psychological problem. But it's looking like he wont' overcome it. maybe in a lesser league. Also - he genuinely thinks he's an amazing footballer. Wasn't keen on 100k a week and a squad player role

I'm starting to think the main problem right now is Winstanley and Stewart (and whoever else) putting too much emphasis on market opportunities (many examples with Felix being the most pointless, and Delap the most recent) instead of finding the right profile for Maresca and sticking with it. We're trying to play like Pep but have strikers who strive in transition, so we can't break down low blocks. 5 left footed wingers, and only disqualified Mudryk on the other side. On the other hand there is a core of really good young players. Maignan goes the other way in that regard. I was excited at first but now that I think about it they should stick to their guns and hope either Jorgensen or Petrovic becomes elite next season. They probably need to sell Sanchez (even though he wasn't THAT bad)

Don't let him take no. 9 please. The curse is real

L'Equipe reported it lol

Say what you want about the ownership but they're really not afraid to make moves most clubs wouln't make. Sancho not really a success? Out. Jackson isn't developing right (especially mentally lol)? Let''s sign two strikers. Same with Sanchez it seems now. But there are of course serious cons - if they keep experimenting and don't get it right finally we end up with a sh*tload of mediocre players, albeit young and not on crazy contracts. Seems like they're really desperately trying to add players to our 'almost elite' core group - Palmer, James, Caicedo. Colwill and Enzo have potential to get there. CL probably lit a fire under their asses. They don't want to embarass themselves next season Seems probable Milan will let him go then

Take this one with a grain of salt

Agreed. We should be focusing on La Liga and Ligue 1. Plus an occasional gamble in Portugal/Brasil sometimes? Just for fun

Got to admit 'Jamie Jermaine Bynoe-Gittens' sounds very respectable. All he's lacking is a 'Sir' at the beginning

Apparently he's not going to join us in USA for the Club World Cup as he's fot England U-21 duties. Seems silly and strange but ok

Another analysis:

Obce again Alex has done great analysis thread on Liam. Much more positive than the Ekitike one :

Getting close.

Agreed about Mudryk. Although footbaling IQ is definitely not one of Misha's strenghs

Pretty interesting analysis thread here:
