But didn't Bowen improve massively once he'd moved on?

KLP might do the same. I don't think there's any reason to think he won't.

Good luck to the lad. I've enjoyed his development so far and wish him all the best for his new chapter. £20m seems good value for where he's currently at.
 
We've always been written off, first when we came up to the championship, then when we lost in the playoff final and sold Watkins and Benrahma and again when we got promoted but ended up finishing 13th.

We made some good signings last year like Chris Ajer and Yoanne Wissa and this year already have a hot young prospect in Aaron Hickey and pipped Man Utd to sign ex-Lazio and Albanian international keeper Thomas Strakosha. Midfielder Josh Dasilva is back from an injury that kept him out of last season and which is like a new £20m signing.

Some great young prospects in the B team inc England u19 GK Matthew Cox and RB Daniel Oyegoke and we're about to sign rising Ukranian midfield star Yehor Yarmolyuk. Also chasing their star winger Mykhaylo Mudryk.

So I can understand why to the outside world we may look amongst the favourites to gp down but the mood amongst us Bees is quite buoyant.

I wish ya well personally mate, but having experienced the 2nd season syndrome, its gonna be hard for ya, especially without the talisman Erikksen, but hope ya do well again

Tbf Kemps Bowen was further along the development line then KLP, and was much more mature in his head space. You never saw Bowen sulking or getting irritable, or dare I say looking to blame others when things weren't going right.
 
Bowen hardly finished a game for West Ham in the season 20/21. Its only the season just gone 21/22 that he's really come on leaps and bounds. Good luck to the kid. Hope me makes the wc squad.

KLP is going to a club who might struggle like the Blunts in their second season and us on two occasions.

Tbf, I never saw enough of him, live. He certainly has time on his side.
 
The Athletic's analysis has somehow neglected to mention that he's actually **** and goes missing most games:

Decent shout mate.

Your lot comfortable handled last season.

Keano will only improve with better players around him.

Mid table finish beckons..




Allam’s GONE.

David Raya was just as much a talisman for us as Eriksen. Similar coincidence that our slump coincided with his injury and our revival with his return.

From experience, 2nd season syndrome is a killer, we've suffered from it a few times and it's probably harder to stay up in your 2nd season rather than the first.

The problem we had and it appears you're having to a degree is that it's pretty impossible to compete with established PL sides and to get players in you have to pay more than anyone else is prepared to pay. You've definitely done that here.

Or you go for players from lesser leagues like the Ukrainian one. We've just signed Allahyar permanently and he had a couple of strong seasons in Ukraine. He got 7 goals and 4 assists in 16 for Zorya which was impressive. But then compare that to his record for us and although we think he's great, it's pretty clear the Championship has been a step up and then the PL is an enormous step up on that
