Is it a guarantee Caicedo will suceed at Chelsea if they buy him?
Nothing is guaranteed in life but that doesn't mean a club should bid 100m for McTominay or refuse to pay 20m for Mbappe.

Mount is now our player and the hope is that he performs but let's not make it like certain players are not more highly rated than others.

Mount done, we have to deal with stats merchant next season (Mount and Bruno) grin

Onana next, I think he reitired from International Footy..no Nations Cup headache.

Garnacho for which role?

Fred and Kalvin Phillips do not play the same role. Kalvin Phillips is a DM like Casemiro. Fred is more of a CM or B2B. So if you are asking me who will I take as backup for our DM, A DM or a B2B? I will take a DM
Where does Garnacho play?

Fred and Kalvin Phillips are both midfielders. Which one of them would you pick as backup for any midfield role?

See I no dey for all these endless arguments wey una go dey internationally ignore the major points.

How's the signing of a back up keeper and Gomez the same thing as an Akanji that had Manchester United and City interested in him. Man rejected contract offers because he wanted to move to a top club. Everyone knew his worth.

He wasn't fighting for his place because of performance. He was fighting for his place because of he was at odds with the club due to his contract situation.
Dortmund as early as January 2022 signed 2 defenders. in the position Akanji plays shows they dont rate him that highly

Who knew here that in a defence with Stones Dias, Laporte Ake, that Akanji will be starting more than most of them in a season. Many would have thought Akanji was also bought to be a backup to these highly priced defenders yet he became one of the most important defenders for them


If Man Utd was interested in Akanji why didnt they buy him then? He was less than 15M is it that Man Utd cannot afford 15M a similar fee to what was spent on Malacia? I didnt actually see on this thread where people were discussing or hyping Akanji to Man Utd this time last season

Can you point me to such quotes?

Once Guardiola signs an overlooked or average player and the player turns out to be very important to his winnings, everyone will be begin to state how they always knew the player was talented and nothing out of the ordinary. But if it was their club that was linked to that player, all hell will let loose. They will know the player is not good enough. grin
All of a sudden, Akanji was a superstar before signing for city. They’ve always known about Alvarez talent before City signed him. Funny people grin
It's too funny. Even if you hate him there has to come a point where you give the devil his due

The argument that he's outspending cannot fly anymore cos everyone is spending. The question is are you getting value for money like he is

We were laughing at the John Stones buy. Nobody was talking about Alvarez, Dias, Akanji, Silva or Gundogan as world beaters.

You spend £50m for Fred, another man spend £50m for Partey, another man spend £50m for Naby Keita Pep spend £50m for Rodri. When he wins they will now say he's chequebook manager. People should fear God oh grin

The man has dominated your league in a league everyone is spending equally and finally won City the CL. Argument no suppose dey again

Where does Garnacho play so I can see who plays the role for Bayern and who will he bench. If its Sane Coman, Gnabry Mane or Musiala

Well KDB and Bruno are midfielders too. So if you are seeking who will backup Casemiro you can as well pick one of them

So now you dont know the difference between a DM skillset and a CM skillset again. Okay when you wan replace Casemiro, go pick Odegaard or Bruno to replace him

I am not saying peopke are not highly rated. I have criticised signings very strongly, eg Sancho, 55m for mount is high but will depends on his performance, Mount is not a bad player. For Caicedo i have watched him at Brighton while he is a fantastic player, 80m for him is too risky. He may or may not succeed in equal proportion. My person opinion is that Mount is a more risk-free option that Caicedo even though their positions are different.

Why are you beating about the bush? I asked a simple question. Who would you prefer as a backup option in any midfield position? Fred or K. Phillips?

It doesn’t matter if it’s CM, DM or AM.

Shouldn’t be that hard to answe.

Maybe. Maybe not. Only time will tell.

I think we could have gotten Caicedo for 70m though, and 70m for Caicedo is better value than 60m for Mount in my book. We also need a player like Caicedo (DM/CM) more than we need a player like Mount (AM)

What is done is done. Mount will have the full support of the fans in the staadium.

If you look closely, you’ll see that most of the signings we’ve made made , or have pursued under ETH either played for him in the Eredivisie, played in the Eredivisie, (where he was a coach), in the Bundesliga (where he was assistant coach), or he used to be interested in them.

Signed:
Antony PoCoLee ✅
Malacia✅
Lisandro Martinez ✅
Casemiro 🚫
Eriksen ✅
Weghorst ✅
Sabitzer ✅

Pursued:
FDJ✅
Timber✅
Onana✅
Rabiot ✅
Mount ✅

Make of this whatever you will.

Edit: Eriksen was a star at Ajax when ETH started coaching.

Why did Bayern sign Musiala in 2019? It’s not as if he could displace Muller, Coutinho or any other first team players from their starting position at that moment.

Of all the names you mentioned - Bruno, KdB, Casemiro, Rodri- which one of them is a backup player?

Mention a backup DM in Man Utd or Arsenal or Tottenham. How many of them will you take over K. Phillips?

Brighton will accept 70m for Caicedo? I doubt it, but let’s see. Liverpool kuku got McAllister for 35m.

Caicedo that Brighton were asking 90m from Arsenal in January. Lol. Now that Arsenal got Rice for 105m, Caicedo will go for at least 90-100. And for me thats madness for a player that had one good season at Brighton

Musiala played for the senior team that same year. The next season, he had 30+ appearances for the first team. I didn’t know that players signed for the academy do that.

How many wingers did you have when you were pursuing a teenage Hudson Ode for 40m? Were you also planning to sign him for your academy?
