Shit, looks like I’m going to have to share one with you .. I don’t like it when people go without.
Would take Saka over Kulu any day.
I'd take Oodergaard as an understudy to Madders.

Look at it how we looked at them taking Judas. They got better, we got worse.
Which player in their squad would improve us and weaken them?
Keepers - nope
Full/Wing backs - nope
Midfielders - 50/50 - Rice not there long enough, Partey a bit rapey. Oedegard maybe? Makes them weaker, not sure he gets in ahead of Maddison tbh.
Forwards - nope. Possibly Sake instead of Kulu?
This leaves their center backs. I left them until last as I have a feeling a lot of their "success" since the start of last season is Saliba. But does he improve us? He improves our bench for sure.
That's the thing about Judas. He was the transfer equivalent of a 6 pointer. I don't think there is such a thing at the moment.

Yeah Saka is a good player but annoying personality. Very fake, over the top celebrations & every game lies on the ground injured for ages & limps around. Then always starts the next game!
Saliba signed for 4 more years annoyingly!
Saliba, Saka, Odegaard & Rice all improve us. They are short upfront too as that would have been an obvious position we can improve on.
Yeah...I'm not playing this whatever the fuck it is...
Who do you take out of our starting 11 for any one of those 4?
Saka better than Kulu. Saliba better than Romero. I get it’s tribal but pretending Kulu & Romero are better than Saka & saliba is silly. I’d say Rice is better than sarr at this moment but sarr only 21 & no where near his ceiling yet. Odegaard & Maddison would be a great combo. Either way Odegaard & Maddison would be an improvement on relying so heavily on just Maddison.
Also if we are going to say all our starting players are better than theirs then you have to commit to that. So if Woolwich finish above us then surely question marks over the manager who has 11 better starters? But In reality I think he could manage us well this season & we still finish behind them.
Easy. Rice or Saka.
The dog ?
none of the cunts - Close thread
The genuine answer is Saliba (for VDV), Saka (For Kulu), Martinelli (For Richarlison or Brennan Johnson), Rice (For Sarr or Bentancur ... as in right now, potential wise I think sky is the limit for Sarr) and then there's some marginals.
From our team Udogie, Son, Bissouma, Romero, Porro would be nailed on. And then you have marginals/arguable match-ups like Raya/Vicario, Maddison/Odegaard etc...
They're two close teams atm - which btw is amazing for us because we've made up a lot of ground in a very short amount of time.

I see it slightly differently.
I think in our formation, Rice is more likely to replace Bissouma than anyone and I would genuinely rather watch Bissouma every week.
Saka is quicker than Kulu and scores more goals, but does he do what is needed to cover our inverted RB? Can heh old the ball up under pressure from 2 or 3 players? Has he got any more of a 2nd foot than Kulu? I certainly wouldn't complain about having both to have options, but I'm not sure either one is wholly better than the other.
I don't think there's much in it with Saliba and Romero. Same with Oedegaard really.
I think the Judas move was so obviously a blow to us and a gain to them. None of them significantly increase us the same way.
Yeah triffic, a Tottenham-Nomad hybrid.
We could call ourselves the London Cockneys or some such fucking bollocks.
Fuck all of them. I wouldn't want one of their fucking interns working behind the bar.

I'm amazed by how comfortable people are in claiming Saliba is soo much better than Romero...he isnt they are pretty even. I don't think you can seperate them much.
Agreed. Not much between them. Saka is the clearest one IMO. Martinelli and then Rice are possibles.
Our team has more potential
