Evanilson to Bournemouth from Porto

Simonb for new head scout.

Why is it ridiculous to suggest that Jamie Vardy, Patson Daka and Tom Cannon are better than Sammie Szmodics? Szmodics doesn't improve our team, he's not good enough. He had an amazing season last season and scored some fantastic goals, but he's not good enough to keep us in the Premier League

Firmly believe that our current 3 strikers are all better than Szmodics, and none of them are good enough to start week in, week out in the Premier League either

Providing we get them the ball in the right areas, which has been an issue throughout pre season so far

Buonanotte doesn't count I don't believe, due to his age and the amount of time he's spent in the UK not being more than 3 years

If we somehow manage to get all 3 of Zaha, Hlozek and Ioannidis....

Hermansen Ricardo Faes Vestergaard Kristiansen Ndidi Winks Fatawu Buonanotte Zaha Ioannidis OR Hermansen Faes Vestergaard Justin Ricardo Winks Fatawu Buonanotte Alves Zaha Ioannidis

Hermansen Ricardo Faes Vestergaard Kristiansen Ndidi Winks Fatawu Buonanotte Zaha Ioannidis

Wish we'd change ours.

"But Maresca doesn't have a plan B and Cooper is more pragmatic which is what we need" T**t.

Daka was an odd purchase. One of the most promising strikers in Europe, banging goals in left, right and centre in Austria and Europe playing up front in a 2, playing to his strengths in behind rather than as a linkman. We then decide in our infinite wisdom to spend a load of money on him, play him upfront by himself, with the closest players to him currently being Wilfred Ndidi and Bobby Reid, neither of which look like actual footballers.

Absolutely, he'd be our best defender by quite some distance

Just because you state your opinion, doesn't make it fact. That's not how it works 😂

Don't get the fascination with Szmodics. He's had one decent season in the championship in his entire career and is a pretty bang average footballer. He's 29 next month so there's little to no resale value potential either. I hope we steer well clear.

Patson Daka is genuinely far superior to Tom Cannon

Because he started back at training the day before

Actually think he'll do very well there as he's a very intelligent coach. Firmly believe they'll be top 4 minimum this first season and then will push on

"Reiss Nelson picked up an assist against Bournemouth last night in their friendly against Arsenal"......

Stolarczyk is a decent keeper and has age on his side. He's nowhere near the level of Hermansen though. Hermansen will end up playing for one of the better teams in Europe

Iversen isn't good enough though. If Iversen plays for at least half a season for us in the PL then we're going to end up relegated. Similarly, Ward isn't and wasn't good enough during our last PL season

So they paid £17m and gave him a 1 year contract? 😂

Weghorst is essentially a giant Okazaki in that his greatest strength is his work rate and pressing. I wouldn't especially trust him in front of goal nor would he be particularly exciting to watch, but we could do much worse than him as an option

Assuming Coady's goal was from a set piece. Having a designated set piece coach coming in clutch straight away!

We've apparently enquired about taking Lesley Ugochukwu on loan from Chelsea. Not sure if true or not, but would fit the profile of player we'd likely target and Maresca is there too so thought I'd post
