If we sell Richarlison as seems possible then I've got a feeling that the club could go for Marseille's Algerian striker Amine Gouiri.

He is a really good all round striker who excels in build up play but can also score all kinds of goals. Not hugely prolific, scoring at a rate of about 1 in 3 but close to 1 in 2 for goals and assists.

We either need to go elite or Prem proven in this position I think.

Elite would be Lauraro Martinez or Victor Osimhen.
Prem proven would be Marmoush or Kroupi.

Oshimen would be outrageous, however I always wonder why (beyond wages) he is not at an elite club? I'm not sure Marmoush is worth the money for what we need. Martinez would seem to fit every ingredient of a DeZerbi side AND is a minimum 15-a-season striker (we need that at the absolute minimum IMO)...I wonder if there's any interest from us/play with Inter re: Romero?

His representation has a massive part in that I am convinced. He is also a victim of hangers on who post stuff online about his circumstances at a club and seem to speak on his behalf, clubs would hate that. I think he is a tremendous player but he is a PR disaster for many

I like Kish he is very passionate and puts good content together but he is obsessed with a certain type of player and will never budge from that.

I think he is up his own arse
The guy played youth football to a decent level and makes YouTube videos
What these guys need to do it’s get real experience in the game and some qualifications to back up their view

I have a guy near me at the ground who blabs brick constantly. When my nephew is there I ask him what he thinks and then remind this guy that my nephew works in the game for a real club … (he is at Derby although may be leaving weirdly to go to a pro rugby side)

The internet has created some amazing things but it’s also, through social media created a voice for people who have previously been licking windows

The thing is, I think we can all be guilty of it to an extent, we all see the game through our own bias and eyes BUT I think you have to be a special kind of person to set up these YTs and channels online to claim you are some tactical genius when, like you say, you have zero experience in the game and also if you were so knowledgeable, you would be in the game.

I honestly think alot of this comes from a failure to be in the game so they tear down people who are, the lads on the extra inch podcase are horrific for it, when in reality they have not left their mums spare room whilst chatting utter garbage about how they could do better than actual talent scouts and those who have made it in the game.

I was so lucky in covid to have got a job which meant I was project managing with the PL, got to get around Palace, Brentford, Spurs and West Ham and what you notice is that 90% of whats chatted online is rubbish BUT those in the game, even those who have not played it and now work in it have absolutely grafted their arses off to do it and put their head above the parapet in a role which actually means something and importantly has consequences to their decisions. Easy to tear that apart, much harder to actually be the one doing it

90% ?...that's conservative:).

I just find the whole babble off-putting...bordering on depressing.

The noise around the game has overshadowed and appears bigger than the important bit, the actual game itself.

The only truth we see is the 90+ mins between KO and the final whistle.

Everything else serves little purpose in truth, and as mentioned multiple times by a stack load of managers, it's a distraction. Constantly stating 'we need to block out the outside noise'.

It's an overloaded, saturated market and in a free market kinda way, yeah, it's given nobody's a chance (££)

But less is more...mores a bore.
