    Indeed. One of the best articles I saw on this was from Martin Jol way back in 2006 World Cup. To very briefly summarise, he said that formations are very fluid and really don’t matter, what is of real importance is your defensive/offensive split. I.e. how many players have primarily a...

    I wouldn’t. If fans of other clubs came on here they would decide that Hojbjerg was a poor player for example. I’d always just use my own eyes to judge a player.

    I would imagine the conversation with the agent went a bit like this. Agent: I have lots of interest in my client from big clubs who would pay him big wages Bournemouth: We're not going to sell him for less than £70m Agent: In which you need to pay him an amount commesurate with him being a...

    I'm not sure I'd take the opinion of many football fans, most have little clue of what they are watching or the subtleties of the situation. After Kudus' first season West Ham fans thought he was world class. The truth is somewhere in between - he is a player with lots of talent but some...

    Scotty Parker was an excellent signing for us. I'd be very happy if we could get an experienced player as good as he was to come in and play central midfield for us. The pirouettes in the centre circle thing was a lazy stereotype. No idea what you mean about 'taking money over football all...

    Hojbjerg (already gone). Gill, Solomon. All go without us noticing and they probably net us £35m or so. Richarlison can go for the right fee (probably £30m upwards). Could perhaps get Jonathan David on a free to replace. Bissouma should go because he has a year left and hasn't shown enough...

    Indeed. When I said that Odobert would be a good signing for us a day or two before we signed him, I had said that he would be a sensible player to buy but then loan back to Burnley so that he could get another full season playing in England under his belt. I still think he is probably a year...

    Disagree. Buying the odd 30 year old to supplement a very young team is often a very sensible thing to do.

    Larrson isn't really a 6. He is a proper central midfield who would play as part of a double pivot.

    Yes. The Frankfurt central midfield player. I think he is an incredibly complete player who is perfect for PL football. A slightly leftfield suggestion might be Paulinha. He didn't have a great season at Bayern last year and I wonder if they'd be prepared to sell him at a loss? He is...

    I think Eze is a good player. He is already 27 though so probably only 3 years left at the top. If we were a Chelsea or Emirates Marketing Project with unlimited funds to spend then I'd be delighted for us to sign Eze. However, we all know the way that we operate and if we sign Eze then we know we are leaving...

    Eberechi Eze

    If we had unlimited funds then I'd agree. But paying £65m for a player who IMO isn't as good as Maddison and tends to play in a position where we're already really well stocked doesn't make sense to me, especially when the player is already 27. Don't get me wrong I think Eze is a good player...

    Eberechi Eze

    Yes. I think he has loads of good attributes that very few players have. Explosive pace, two good feet, great dribbling ability, abilty to receive the ball in tight spaces. He also plays in a position where I think we need to add competition, with us only really having Johnson who is capable...
