Yes but you have to do it. It’s OK making a mistake in the market; but once you realise you have made a mistake, cut the player as soon as you can. Utd cut off Alexis Sanchez after 2 seasons, Arteta got rid of Willian after one season. Even if it meant not doing any business this season.

Let's say we cut both Mudryk n Sterling. Now who will play lw? Neto is very injury prone.

Anyone reckon he starts at ST next week against City?

Unlikely. No pre season with the lads. Most likely on the bench.

Don’t understand the transfer police. Strange signing

 

First signing this summer I’m actually excited about. Him and Palmer on both flanks will tear open defences

Superb player, very happy if this happens

We did. He just chose to join Bayern.

We should have tried harder and not have that salary restrictions. 

Neto is good player but Olise is better and has superstar potential  (plus he take set pieces)

1st signing I'm actually excited about. Good 2nd option after Olise and actually more comfortable to play either too tbh. Injury record is a massive concern. 

Just goes to show, if you moan enough on here, Boehly see's it with his burner account, and does a madness! 😂

Hopefully this pushes Sterling and Mudryk further down the pecking order. Great player, Nkunku, Palmer, and Neto in what ever combination we can put together, is as good as anything else in the league.

Bob - He's gone. As much as it seems like the club are playing football manager at times, we can't have all the best players. 

Take this for what it is, we are signing a very good player that is proven in the league. People have been crying for proven quality for a while, this is it.

As much as I like to criticize our new owners, there's not much you can do if the player says no to you. Bayern didn't just offer more money. They're a huge club, one of the biggest in the world, regularly winning trophies at home and competing in Europe. We on the other hand are currently a team in a Conference league hoping to get back in the top four after two poor seasons with an inexperienced manager and young and imbalanced squad. 

Not to mention Olise's own injury history.

In perfect world they will have suitors but I think this throws Nonis future into doubt more than them.

Someone will take a punt on Noni and has been linked to Newcastle, so can we see anyone paying a fee for Mudryk or paying Sterlings wages. Neto and Sterling have the ability to play on the right to cover Noni.

I reckon season ticket sales are down, Neto makes people think again.

No doubt on his quality can he stay fit?

 

 

              Samu 
Nkunku Palmer Neto

 

Fair play for keeping this one under the radar, rarely a transfer this big is kept a secret 

Good to see that when these Player Traders get a trade in their heads they're immovable

Olises goals being the main difference,  which all came once Glasner took over playing much better attacking football that made Mateta look world class.  

That’s not saying Olise is a bad player I still would rather have Olise but if you take the season prior without Glasners influence the stats don’t look as one sided.
 

It also points out the madness of these stat offs everyone keeps using to rate players. Having watched a lot of Neto playing he’s a bloody good player.

Quality player but don't expect anything in the way of defensive input, tracking back, etc. Not his go. Unless someone can introduce him to the notion.

Will he stay fit?

Neto at Wolves for 5 years
Averaged 15 PL starts per season
145 appearances for club and country
Missed 108 games through injury

 will he pass the medical?

Personally won’t have signed him, there are more dynamic options like Anthony Gordon & Kudus around the same age and with better output.  Outside that age range Pote from Sporting is a brilliant player. We have spent a  ridiculous amount again; £120m + £35m on Gabriel Mec &  Mike Penders + £89m on Samu & Neto. £249m and barely moved the needle.

You could in the interim use Nkunku as LW with Tyrique George as backup. Exact thing Arsenal did when they cut off Willian; an 18yr old Saka competing with another bust Nicolas Pepe in the short term. The latter was bin & loaned out to Lille a season after with Arsenal signing a £30m Fabio Vieira to replace him.
 

It’s an opportunity missed to speed up Tyrique George’s development.

Lower fee & wages compared to comparable options like Kudus is my guess. 

He's a decent footballer, but there are two major issues for me, the obvious one being his injuries, the other being his end product. He looks flashy, but he rarely scores goals.

His medical and injury history are the main reasons we have brought him.

Not his job. Only KDB has more assists per minute in the Premier League. 

Tidy in tight areas, can hug the touch line or play inside, good in 1v1 situations and very quick on the break. Should he stay healthy this is a 9/10 signing. 

A player to get excited about…if he can stay fit

Always thought he'd end up at City or at Liverpool as Salah's replacement.

One of my favourite wingers in the PL. Hopefully he has a healthy Chelsea career.

With Palmer and Neto on the wings we instantly turn into a very dangerous attacking side. If defenders dare try and double up on them than that just frees up Nkunku, Enzo and Jackson.
