    Exactly. I think the club should be mindful of that too. I think we need to be seen as a great destination for really talented young players and doing right by them even if they don't look like making it here is a part of that. It's a good thing if players who may at other times in our history...

    Mohammed Kudus

    Pretty much the same for all really strong players. Contact that would floor Bryan Gil and be an obvious free kick they just have to deal with.

    Alfie Devine

    Haven't watched him outside of some highlights. Have you watched him more? Seems to have quality about him and decent potential. But difficult to see a path for him here with Bergvall and Gray already ahead of him despite being younger as well as Donley out on loan. Guessing that's why we...

    Destiny Udogie

    Pretty much agree with that, though somewhat uncertain on who has the highest ceiling. Great to have all three fit and available (for now at least). Very much needed. I think some of the poor performances and resulting criticism of Porro and Udogie has been a result of them having to play...

    *** Tottenham Hotspur vs Doncaster Rovers - Carabao Cup ***

    Something like that is what I would like too. Though I would kinda like to see Odobert start too. But unless Frank sees him as an option as a 10 probably Tel, Muani and Johnson are even more in need of game time. Agree with "not keen on so many changes" too, and wouldn't be shocked or critical...

    Lucas Bergvall

    Didn't watch the full Brighton game, but this very much matches my impression of him from what I saw and other games. Being able to play the game a a different tempo and a bit more maturity with his decision making are definitely things to look for with his development. I do also think that...

    Dejan Kulusevski

    Absolutely. Would have been a good problem to have had so far this season too. And we're only starting the two games a week stretch and haven't had significant (new) injury problems.

    Xavi Simons

    To be fair "Gareth Bale he has the potential for and seems like a good profile fit for an inverted right wing role I think he could really smash it from there given the opportunity" would have been a really brick song 😉

    Richarlison

    I doubt we've ever not sold a player the manager/club wants to sell because a part of the fanbase likes them. OK. So it boils down to "buy better players"? The context of the conversation matters. I doubt you'd find a single person here in disagreement with Richarlison being a significantly...

    And in a different league for a different manager in a different system.

    Richarlison

    Quite a few of your posts seem to boil down to "we should buy excellent players that would be better than having players that aren't excellent".

    Xavi Simons

    Where a player should play depends on the system and style of play too. From what I understand he's done well on the left for Leipzig too? My feeling is that he'll most likely end up being more of a 10. Then again so was Eriksen and he was brilliant on the right for us. Kranjcar was also quite...

    Xavi Simons

    I think that's the most likely by far. But also think sometimes, in some games playing him on the left could be the better option.

    Xavi Simons

    We always want to win, no? I think he's a horse that can fit different courses (I know nothing about horses, but think I get the saying correctly). What was the song about Eriksen... "on the left, on the right" etc... He's a bit like that. He doesn't require a specific position to thrive.

    Xavi Simons

    I think I already said something about not having him just be a touchline hugger to get the best out of him from the left. When he played there for us he had Spence behind him, but with Udogie now getting back to real fitness that won't always be the case. My point is essentially "it depends"...

    Xavi Simons

    Based on a very small sample size where him playing as a 10 against Brighton coincided with us chasing a goal and also playing another of our more creativity players in midfield (Bergvall). Long story short the story is still rather short and it's a bit early to be making strong conclusions on...

    Xavi Simons

    To me that applies when one of the better players is clearly better on one position than another. I don't think that applies as much to Simons, particularly if playing a more inside left role. Wouldn't want to see him just hug the touchline, but as long as he has the freedom to roam a bit I'm...

    Richarlison

    Those are good numbers man. Obviously there are several better strikers around, but as one of three options for the striker role (along with Solanke and Kolo Muani) he's definitely a good player to have. Hopefully those other two get back and match fit so we can manage minutes all around and...

    Xavi Simons

    Let's see what he does over a bit of time. I do think he'll end up mostly playing as a 10 sooner or later. But he's more than capable of being really good on the left as well. And particularly if he has a more overlapping left back behind him he can drift into a lot of the same areas from the...

    Luka Vuskovic

    Good to see him get a really strong game after that Bayern game (those surely will happen). Getting a goal too. Regular starts for him this season hopefully will result.
