They prefer different flanks iirc. Kudus is left footed, coming inside from the right wing. Eze comes in from the left. It is interesting that we're looking to strengthen RW tbh when we already have Johnson and Kulusevski. I wonder if the latter could be thinking about moving on? The other flank is in much more urgent need of repair, with Son finished (and possibly gone later in the window) and the other options very young and inexperienced.
Technically we completed four transfers this morning: at the stroke of midnight Tel, Danso and Vuskovic officially arrived and Hojbjerg officially left
Think Kudus would be a very good signing, would have preferred Mbeumo or Cherki for the RW slot but for me he is the 3rd best next option . Fast, explosive and can be unplayable and hopefully Frank can improve on his consistency which is lacking. DM is the next priority signing would absolutely love to bring Douglas Luiz back to the prem from Juve. If not Luiz then Palinha. LB needs addressing - looks like it could be a former club trained player in KWP or Cirkin, then a striker if we offload Richarlison. It’s imperative we keep Romero for at least another season .
The first law of ITK : the more precise you are about things early on, the more likely you are to actually be a gobsh*te. This is kindred to the second observation of the great Phillip Tetlock (or what I call 'Tetlock twats' ) .
I’d be gutted to lose Kulusevski, I’m hoping and have already said I think he will be moved into the CAM role to compete with Maddison which is why Spurs need another RW.
L'Equipe have linked us with Monaco RW Maghnes Akliouche So give it an hour to see which one of the Chavs or the Bottlers worm their way into the conversation
Kudus Watch Ben Jacobs says that, almost as soon as our interest became concrete, West Scam offered him to Chelsea and Man Utd Apparently under the impression that they don't now his release clause expires on the 10th
All Madrid Clubs Are ****s Watch Eduardo Burgos of AS says that Atletico are willing to offer €55m + €15m in addons, which is what he calls Atleti going "all out" for a player, and that we are being unreasonable in wanting €70m upfront That works out a £47.25m + £12.9 in addons, while we want £60m upfront
I've seen reports that the release clause is circa £80m. Not a chance we should be paying that much for him.
Signing two Japanese CBs with the same initials in the same window is so improbable that I wouldn't be surprised if our academy's next two graduates were a bowl of petunias and a humpback whale
