I agree to a large extent but you have to take into account this PSV side is poor. And much as I love Van Nistlerooy as a player I'm not sure he's a good manager looking at the way they're playing.
Transfer Rumours Let's ignore the big ****ing elephant and blame the latest manager, again. Are we nearly there yet?

I would be more excited if we give Garnacho a good run in the team over buying either of them.
You're right of course. One thing I will say from watching this game though, it's no surprise they both want to come to us.
It’s the whole “modern” game thing. I’m not sure where I stand on the idea of messing around with the ball in the back.
I'm not defending the bloke, but the ball came in at speed and he took it first time on his right foot, beautifully and hit the target and the goalie saved it. What could he do about that
I'm not going to judge the bloke off one game but what I have liked about him tonight is:
1) His movement off the ball, moves between the lines and not afraid to go central and get into the box.
2) Good passer of the ball.
3) Takes all of PSV's set pieces. Good delivery, sometimes floats the ball instead of whipping it in though.
4) Likes a tussle, . Tracks back as well.

After extensive research ( around 6 mins) into our two main targets (Gakpo and Anthony) I discovered that both are classed as goal scoring wingers. We have plenty of them already, what we are seriously lacking is a goal scoring striker, we have one very good but very old one which is not enough.
Yes very much this.
I can only think that Ten Hag has plans to turn one of them into a striker OR make one of ours into a striker with one/both of them coming in to fill their place.
OR he doesn't think one or two of ours are good enough in the wing forward position
Over 90 minutes nothing about Gakpo impressed. Sure the whole team was absolutely rank but even among mediocre players he didn’t stand out. This was a massive match for them but they never rose to the challenge. PSV was really poor and didn’t deserve to go through.
He had no joy from Rangers defenders in a huge match. How is he going to deal with better and more physical opposition in the premiership? We want better players than what we have. I can’t see him improving the squad.
This is exactly why I can’t understand why £80m as reported will be spent in Antony. That baffles me.
It is also now being suggested that Elanga may be out on loan with Everton being interested. WTF would be the point of that?
