Good analysis, offers a lot, but question marks over his finishing, however the rest of his game looks perfect for us, especially if we get Wirtz

Feels like his intent sees he seemed to beat Diaz out for the starting left wing job and wants a little something for the effort

Heās got a contract till 2027.
There are others whose contract situation needs resolving first.
Did I ever tell you about the time I caddied for the Dalai Lama?
So I jump ship in Hong Kong and I make my way over to Tibet, and I get on as a looper at a course over in the Himalayas.
A looper, you know, a caddy, a looper, a jock. So, I tell them Iām a pro jock, and who do you think they give me? The Dalai Lama, himself. Twelfth son of the Lama. The flowing robes, the grace, baldā¦ striking. So, Iām on the first tee with him. I give him the driver. He hauls off and whacks one - big hitter, the Lama - long, into a ten-thousand foot crevasse, right at the base of this glacier. Do you know what the Lama says? Gunga galungaā¦ gunga, gunga-lagunga. So we finish the eighteenth, yāknow, and heās gonna stiff me, yāknow? And I say, āHey, Lama, hey, how about a little something, you know, for the effort, you know.ā And he says, āOh, uh, there wonāt be any money, but when you die, on your deathbed, you will receive total consciousness.ā So I got that goinā for me, which is nice.

I like Ekitike but not for the rumored 100m euros. I feel heās probably worth closer to 70m euros (ie 50-55m pounds). But we have competition from Chelsea for his signature so his pricetag will likely get boosted by that. Iām guessing he will cost us closer to 65m pounds or 80m euros if we actually try to sign him.
I donāt know. If heās the right player then the fee (assuming we can afford it!) is really less important than the impact he can make. Darwin would not be worth keeping around longer if he was āonly 40mā instead of 70m.

Yeah the league is fine, but this time we might really win something we havenāt done in years: the Transfer Window!

Wait, is Ibou definitely leaving?

Nope. Itās probably Quansah.

So weāre replacing one of our established first-team players with someone unproven in the league and who would be playing on the wrong side?
(Lukeba is left-footed)
If we splash out big on a central defender this summer, itāll be Virgilās eventual replacement. That player will start off as third choice CB and will step into the starting lineup when either Ibou leaves next summer or Virgil starts to decline.
Obviously, theyāll get plenty of game time this season, but I mean as the undisputed starter.

Itās Football365, without fans wanking over transfers, they wouldnāt exist. So they need to keep feeding that.

Off topic but lord. First everyone is a top talent then top top. Then they are world class. Now they are a generational talent.
What next?

Going off on a thought experiment here, but itās not hard to see that?
Weāre fans of a top club, so itās hard to see, but there are many layers of the football pyramid that arenāt the Premier League, so Iād say in many cases anyone who can make a solid career in the Football League have a decent shout to be a ātop talentā. But in any case, surely āworld-classā would suggest that they would be players who would be argued to fit into a ābest 11 players of the worldā conversation, and āgenerational talentā would mean someone who comes around only every so often in each generation. The latter is rather hard to define. Is Salah a generational talent?
