Alec Scott has been on clubs radar for 2 years now and its possible we sign him but its not the highest priority , we shipped 63 league goals last season so there are going to be 2 if not 3 center half coming in now



As I have said its highly likely Holberg goes we have concrete interest from Bayern and athletico he does not fit Ange system , Ange wants to have a look at gill, glc and tangy pre season but bearing in mind bissouma is injury prone and Rodrigo will not even make the bench until mid/end of sept then there is a good chance 2 new midfielders will come In as well, Ange will want 6 high energy midfielders , 2 who can sit and 4 in the bentacur /maddison role there must be 2 players for each role



kulu was seen as a bit of a punt fantastic first season not so good second we are paying 30 million over 6 years and he is young with a high ceiling so we took a punt but depending how things pan out do not be surprised if we splash heavily on a top forward /winger to make up the 3 with H and son

For the LW spot we either bring in real competition for Son, a player arguably better than him, or we bring in a wonderkid who has the potential to be at that level. Neither Solomon, Pulisic or Barnes fit into those categories tbh. I'd like to think we can do better if we can move on a few players for decent fees.

I guess you may never know how long this saudi shopping spree is going to last, they might get bored in a couple years

You can understand it. He’s unlikely to ever be a starting player for a champs league team in a top league.

He’s basically going to play a chilled version of pro football for about 5 years and then be able to retire.

As far as options go, it’s a pretty attractive one

The love of playing football for a great living is becoming secondary to the love of greater money… bet the agents don’t really care tho’ ..
I would sell out too tbh and I think he is in a unique position at 24. Can prob go for a few years to store away some money and then head off elsewhere in a decent move.

Hopefully it lasts a while longer as we could be doing with a few enquiries about some of our players.

Nick replying to your post

winger / forward does not necessarily need to play both flanks , you will see Porro further forward next season on either right midfield or in the front 3 on the right

we are looking at Harvey Barnes and olise at palace

Olise would be the dream for me as we're crying out for another proper right winger

He would most likely cost upwards of £50m though.
