Fairytale small club.
Everton. What a non-club. Totally inconsequential. Thanks for making up the numbers
I'd take Ibe. Benteke can fuck off
How legit is this info?
Haha i was about to attack you for being a bit stuck up if James Rodriguez wasnt good enough for us but then i read your second post.
But how many players like Dembele are there ? I d say very few
Ibe isn't, and never will be, good enough
He's 20 years old - lol
He's a scouse Townsend, imagine having to endure those post-match interviews
There are few players like Dembele, he's very similar to Modric in that sense. But to suggest that we could have one player fill both Dembele and Diers boots should one of them pick up an injury just doesn't fit for me. They bring vastly different things to the club and any player with the talent to cover for either of those players would surely be good enough to take their spot surely.
I think it's harsh to write him off at 20
It's definitely harsh to write him off at 20, but at the same time he seems to remind me a fair bit of Lennon and I just don't think that's the sort of player Poch likes.
I would love to see what Poch could do with him, but I reckon they would want at least 15 Million probably.
No idea. But the club has been spending big money (relative to their position) since their current owners came in. They were also against the financial fair play rule.

Apparantly they were spending so much that the fans were worried about bankruptcy.
The Guardian recently ran a story of seemingly dodgy financial tactics by Leicester, which may be a breech of the FFP rules: Leicester City and the strange finances behind their rise to the Premier League pinnacle
Now, I personally don't care much for the FFP rule myself. Nor do I care if Leicester overspends. I also find it refreshing that they are doing better than the shitty four-five (although frustrating that they are doing better than us, points wise). However, as I said in another thread, I can't stand the bullshit story in media and amongst neutrals about the fairy tale small club without financial power, and how they "deserve to win".
Anyway. This is the wrong thread for this. Sorry for derailing.
Why'd you get Umtiti if he's a left side CB? It has to be our strongest position, if you look at both who plays there and who's his backup.
From the very little I've seen of Bats I'm not convinced. On whoscored.com it says that his weaknesses are aerial duels, offside awareness and defensive contribution. Not sure I like that in a potential backup for Kane, and certainly not for a replacement (if Kane had been moved to a nr 10 role).
Seems to me Lacazette offers more in terms of overall team play, and that Bats is more a pure offside line goalscoring type, akin to the likes of Defoe and Bent. Lacazette can probably play on the wing better than Bats as well.
Ward-Prowse I'd pass on. No thanks. I'd rather Pritchard or Obomah got that spot in the squad.
Stupid statement
I hope we're still in for Fulhams Dembele .
