Transfer thread

FYI it’s basically two years difference in age.

But I take it that Kudus feels a bit more raw.

He is less experienced here
But kudus best season here is better than Ezes best

What's interesting about the attacking part of the team was that we started last season with the collective being our advantage. Then all of a sudden it wasn't because we lost Odobert and Richi whilst Ange was having his own issues with Werner, Then we lost Moore for a couple of months. It suddenly felt different.

I'm really hoping this current season we can change all of that. If we did have a senior core of Solanke, Son, Richi, Tel, Johnson, Kulu, Madds, Odobert and Kudus then I think we cope a lot better. That's not really mentioning what might happen with Solomon, Moore, Scarlett, Lanks etc.

It does feel like we're not going to get world superstars so we have to really get that collective working again. Keep them all fresh and use a meritocracy to get them all fighting for places. The subs bench options definitely look moire appealing.

I might be being overly optimistic but I think magic might happen under Frank with the attackers. He has a decent history of getting forward lines really singing.

Apperently we're about to sign 19 year old Kees Smit from AZ Alkmaar. I quite like him. Silky smooth touch and control. Plays with his head up. Mostly plays like a #10.

I have nothing against signing young players per se, I just wished we would focus on established players. Kees would probably take at least 6 months to get to grips with this league, and that is only if we are lucky. On the other hand Eze is proven and ready at this level.

It was going to have us competing in terms of being able to pay the fees. It wouldn't all of a sudden make every player want to join us.

I thought it was going to help us compete on wages which is critical. On average, the higher the wages a club pays the higher they are more likely to finish innthe lesgue.

Neither Robinho or Isak at the point of those respective transfers were made are the type of signing being discussed though are they? We're talking genuine established players who'd command top level wages rather than players at middling clubs and/or from middling leagues not yet proven at the highest levels. Even then you're talking about two of the wealthiest nation backed clubs making statement signings to signal their arrival.

Sorry Robinho wasn't a genuine established star commanding top wages? Wut? la Liga a middling league? Wut?

Whether they were statement signings or not is irrelevant, it's to say that a club can sign pretty much any standard of player if and it's a big if they are willing to pay wages as those two were.

Again I'm not arguing we should do that but some people seem to think it's impossible when that's just not true.

I can't speak for anyone else but Isak is exactly the kind of player that I wish Spurs would sign but we never go for. Proven quality, established potential and ready for the next step, he's just a little bit too expensive for our blood.

It was never to out advantage. There were some of us who pointed out in the summer that the attack was decidedly average individually and wanted improvements.

they've hired populous and have already engaged local authorities for expansion permission - will take time but its serious money for wrexham just to hire populous so they are serious

Wrexham want to increase stadium size to 55K

Wrexham co-owner Rob McElhenney has long-held ambitions of taking the Welsh club to the Premier League, and he has now revealed a plan for the club to grow their stadium capacity to match.

www.espn.com.sg

our competitive edge from the bigger stadium revenues only lasts as long as the next stadium expansion

How did you make this mistake lol?

Wrexham are building a 5k stand, nowhere near a 52k stadium.

Maybe he was saying it to hoodwink the Hammers out of a few quid ....

That brick is obviously made up by these mug reporters/

I just dont believe that nonsense. Just flimflam reporting from these Spurs hating idiots.
As if we would put those suggested add ons in an offer. We havent won the league since 61 when i was 6 months old, abd not really got close since.
Now if the add ons were say, get top 4, score 10 goals or whatever, it might be half believable.
