Denial EVERYWHERE. 

 

The facts are out lads. You far right wing lads need to just pipe down. 

 

Re Olise btw, there was a vague story for 30 seconds that we liked him and no sooner had it been mentioned, he signed for Bayern. Doesn't quite compare with our months long, very public pursuit of Guehi. 

 

But I understand that this is a difficult moment for some of you, and you might need to lash out for a bit. I'm just here to make sure you don't hurt yourselves. 

 

It's simply a fact, some folks just don't really understand football and fixate on the new shiny toy rather than the, perhaps more mundane, true necessity that those more knowledgeable appreciate.

I think we all know where the most important position to strengthen is ...

Not to dig this back up for the 10,000th time, but hasn't it been established that last year the interest in Olise predated the interest in Guehi? So the priority was a RW until that target went elsewhere and then it shifted to a CB? It seems like it isn't necessarily positions being targeted as it is specific high-quality/high-potential players.

 

We've been linked to Cunha quite a bit in recent weeks. But you'd imagine we'd be prioritising a left-footed wide player (in that position). I can't see the Cunha move happening. He's too similar to what we already have.

 

Trafford and Huijsen/Guehi would be a great window. But Murphy's performances means we have way more options for a young left-footed winger with heaps of potential. I'd also be surprised if we don't see a left-footed winger come in given that Osula (who is reportedly more of a striker) is the only one in the squad at the moment. 

Eddie isn’t picking Osula exclusively as a central striker next season. He’s the reason we might not get a right winger. Furthermore, a recent study has shown that speculation about potential transfer activity is one of the most pointless activities known to man. Thinking you know better than those who are aware of budget levels and second guessing actual football professionals re squad requirements has been shown to be extremely bad for your mental health 

Having said that Mbeumo at 60 mill is likely out of our reach. Expect him to go to Chelsea for £120 mill

Totally agree. He looked very good at RW last game. The best he's looked possibly and winger does seem to be his position. I'm mostly saying he's "reportedly" more of a striker because that's what has been said about him by the likes of Waugh at the Athletic (most recently). Personally, I think he looks more of a winger/inside forward type. I guess it's a matter of whether or not they believe the potential is there with him to develop into a first team player. There's still talk in the media about him potentially going on loan next season so I don't know what that indicates. It's all a bit strange. I like him. He does seem to have a lot of potential. I take the "he's very raw" rhetoric we're getting from the media via the club to be basically "we don't know let's wait and see". I'd be more than happy for the club to wait a season and let him develop without going in for another winger. But if you think that's going to stop me stirring the pot on the RW debate then dream on!

They could do with another winger tbh.

He's merely pointing towards the far right winger position.

I can't believe we won't be in for another striker. Wilson is finished and Osula isn't a suitable back up for Isak. Barnes or Gordon can play on the RW as back up but we have nobody to deputise for Isak as thing stand.

I think your first mistake here is taking the likes of Craig Hope and Gemmill at face value. We can all have a nice quiet summer break if we stop tying ourselves in knots about who we might sign and completely blanking that pair of fuckin charlatans is a good first step, they’re no good for us really....although tbf going into any sort of European campaign without a striker who offers something a bit different to what we have eg Jonathon David at Lille or even Metata from Palace would be fuckin nuts tbh

Rumours of interest in van Hecke from Brighton. 24. Right footed. Two little Dutch boys at the heart of the defence. 

 

I've got no RW rumours for you....

I’m sure that rumour didn’t surface just before we are about to play Brighton to unsettle him…

Pah, I meant NEW rumours. Our interest in the the munchkin is well known.
