He's not good enough for a team like Spurs, even as a rotation piece. And he ain't a kid...turning 27 this year...so not like he's got plenty time to improve.Haven't seen much of him tbh but he seems to be a Dele type 2nd striker that can also play wide a bit. Not really sure where that type of player fits in the system tbh

Before this season he'd done nothing of note. Was an average player in Holland (where he never played a full season) and last year he was in Serie B.
Yeah he's scored a few goals this season, but that's about it. He's slow, not uber creative, wasteful in possession, not that robust...
Juve/Inter are welcome to him.
Soule mostly plays on the right, Gud mostly on the left, but both tend to cut inside/play the 10 or even support striker. That said, the Argie covers more ground, has a higher volume. He's better technically, silkier & faster feet, better vision, more creative. Both quite wasteful in possession, not the best first touch, both quite light bodies too.Cheers.
How does Soule compare to Gudmundsson?
Yes. Avoid at all costs. I know a fair few OL fans and most hate his guts.He's also said to have attitude issues...

Ange could turn him into a superstar, I honestly believe that. Just feels like a proper Spurs player.Liked Gibbs-White as far back as Wolves debut. Honestly think he's an England star soon.
He's probably reached a few of them objectives, like staying up, playing X matches, hitting X goals and assists. One he's failed at will be getting an England cap.

Sorry fat fingers.
Although I do disagree with the last paragraph and it contradicts the first paragraph anyway. For example a player bought 4 years ago for $120M on a 6 year contract has a residual amortised value of $40M and will be a $20M loss if sold for $20M or a $20M profit if sold for $60M, even though purchased outside the current FFP window.
His younger brother Beef Cherki is reasonably priced and reliable. Bit dry though
Let me chew it over . I’ll get back to youHis younger brother Beef Cherki is reasonably priced and reliable. Bit dry though
Couple on here
Neto, Bakayoko, I like Cherki
Said that earlier , if Ange has a hard on for CG like he did BJ then not showing great talent judgement especially at the money spent.Watching Connor Gallagher playing for England. We can’t be seriously thinking of buying him, he’s just a runner. Nowhere near good enough for what we want.
For £50M you want a runner to close games out? Firstly we would need to be winning games abd secondly you want a bit more than running around.Contracts up, will want to start next season and is generally useless and ineffective against top sides
Blokes a wanker
Well,if you don’t rate him…..toughHis younger brother Beef Cherki is reasonably priced and reliable. Bit dry though
Cherki is a lazy bum, thinks he's a star and only plays for himself, so I'm not sure it's a good move.
I’m not too worried about signing a mercurial talent from Lyon with attitude red flagsHe's also said to have attitude issues...

I'd be rather pleased with:
- Backup GK: Patterson (SAFC) or Trafford (Burnley)...English, plenty potential...
- Backup WB: one of our own...KWP (he, Porro, Udogie & Emerson is a decent quartet)
- Backup LCB: Buongiorno from Torino...tall, strong, scores goals, gets clean sheets, unlucky with injuries this season (price will come down...happy Daniel) but otherwise always fit, can also play some LB
- Starting DM/CM: never gonna happen, but man I love that Valverde from Real
- Backup CAM: Bergvall probs not ready, ditto Devine so...I'd ask Eriksen if he'd fancy it for a year. Yeah he's 32, but massively experienced and can still do a job, plus great mentor for the kids (even to Mads)
- Starting RW: Gibbs-White
- Backup LW: Illing Jr or Bynoe-Gittens...either of them plus Brennan, MGW, Kulu and that's pretty decent options
- ST: Sonny is getting old, Richy is Richy...that Gyokeres lad does look worthy of a PL shot
