Not paying complete attention to the Ajax game but the bits I’m catching, Roda look poo.
Find it difficult to take Kluivert & Neres serious as genuine first class talents despite what they look like because of the opposition they play against on a regular basis. Will take a very brave club to drop a significant fee on either of these guys.
Well Kluivert is 18 and looks to be one of the bigger talents to have come around in a while, don’t think it’s too much of a risk to buy him with the idea that it will take a few years of development to better competition. Neres no idea but it’s not like he’s too old either.
Posting because I remember someone on here mentioning him.

What’s perhaps more interesting to untangle is how good of a passer Ndombele is, because it’s all well and good to be a guy who progress play with his dribbling, but being a dual threat with both passing and dribbling is a rare thing to find in young midfielders. I think Ndombele is fine in this department; not necessarily brilliant and perhaps he looks a little clumsy at times, but it’s not a situation where he’s got cinder blocks for feet and the only thing he’s reduced to is simple passes. He can get passes into tight areas, though sometimes he puts a little too much mustard on them and leads to tough first touches for his teammates.
And to think we’ve splashed £47.70m on Lacazette when we could have had a couple of these gems for that kind of money (and not much bigger wages).
Hirving + Ndombele is surely a better combo than Auba, isn’t it? Considering Auba isn’t getting any younger …
But still, hindsight bias and all that.
I still think Laca will come good for us
What represents coming good for Laca at this point?
If we’re not selling him maybe 10+ league goals and 10+ in other comps as a back up?
I don’t see how he’ll get the opportunity to really
I like Laca a lot but Aubameyang is clearly levels above him. Honestly, we should just sell him and invest in someone much younger that’ll provide good cover and hopefully grow into being the #1 (or at least have some resale value).
Then we can better invest his wages into the first XI.
Maybe swap him for atleticos GK with a bit of cash, but those deals generally dont happen. Maybe invest in someone with potential like Crisitan Pavon.
It actually looks like he really was trying to thread the needle like he did as opposed to a hit and hope that came good. Impressive delivery too - Cesc-like
Neves has a ridiculous passing highlight reel, not sure about the rest of his game but he’s a world class passer.
This is the same game.
