I'd apply this to all the "let's not buy Kulu" posts; I get it, but I think we need to take the gamble with him (he's still so young) and get him under a forward-thinking coach.
There is something to work with, but he's basically got two tricks - cut in on his left foot, and that push down the line where he uses his physique to hold them off and those have been found out at the moment and he needs to add more to overcome that. He isn't that quick, he isn't that creative a passer, not brilliant in tight spaces, and I don't think he's a number 10 tbh, and though he's young and might be malleable he's not a particularly hard worker or good presser off the ball, to my eye at least.

I'd keep him, but also could understand if a new manager coming in might want something different. If we want to be a high press, counter press, etc, team next season then Kane-Son-Kulu is as it stands looks a bad fit to achieving that.

Dreadfully mediocre manager playing dreadfully mediocre players in stupid formation results in five quick goals shocker.

Should have backed Poch when we had the chance.

It must stink of fish in that dressing room as something is properly rotten.

I feel sorry for Sarr, poor kid his confidence must be shot now.

Trying to get the best out of a signing we should never have made is not a consideration for who the new manager is. Unless you’re Daniel Levy of course.
It is mate.

We can't just write 40 million off that we arguably shouldn't have spent.

We were going places under Poch. Yes it fell apart in the end but had Levy really listened to him, and backed him to a higher extent, God knows where we'd be now.

It all comes back to Levys decision making.

This day has been building for sometime.

Well done Daniel
Yeah 5 or 6 years in the making.
