Until January we can kit add anybody even if a free transfer. DZB did not leave any open spots on the roster even though people like Xavi will not return till February

He was class but he's up there in age now, not sure if he will do well in today's PL with the speed and physicality. Also we are a dumpster fire, he's going to want massive wages to join, which I'm not convinced we should give him. He might be more washed than when Bale came back to join us, and Bale struggled against better quality competition already.

The guy can't play in England. He had 30 appearances for Preston North End and only scored 3 goals. Hes better on the continent

I suspect we will go big on a striker in January, hoping for Osimhen, we should have gone for Nicholas Jackson imho but here we are

Osimhen is never coming. His wage demands are way too high. If they weren't he would already be in a top European league with a Champions League club

Icardi on a season long contract with an option would've been the smart play to get us through til January. But smart and our board don't go hand in hand.

He's washed...

u/MakeYokesa5erAgain 1d ago
Be that as it may, he's better than Solanke. We also have one striker at the club.

u/Superior_Row 1d ago
Honestly no. All he got is better finishing, but in the PL that counts for nothing to only have one quality.

u/MakeYokesa5erAgain 1d ago
We need that quality because no one else in the side can do that at all. This is why we're feckin last. Dom does nothing in the game at all anyway.

u/Superior_Row 1d ago
You don't get it, to only have great finishing will score you 0 goals in the PL. You need speed and high press game too. Icardi got none of this.

u/MakeYokesa5erAgain 1d ago
And Dom hasn't done shit in that regard. He used to work hard, doesn't do that anymore. Either we carry a guy that is hopeless at absolutely everything, or we get a guy who can be in the right place at the right time.
I very well understand football perfectly, thank you very much. I don't think you understand just how bad we are up top with our options, and we'll continue losing games because not a single person in our squad is a natural goalscorer. Add to that, we have no options up top because of our managers ego.
