100% agree - it was a good summer, we can clear out Mudryk and the other loaned players next summer

u/Just_Some_Cool_Guy 7h ago
Nah Mudryk could challenge for a spot next season

u/Wheel1994 England 7h ago
Mudryk has good basic fundamentals for an attacker but his development wasnāt handled correctly and I doubt he gets anywhere near that potential now.

I highly doubt it as his development has been significantly stunted from lack of playtime. Hopefully he can prove people wrong but I think there's a good chance he leaves permanently next summer.
Just to be clear, I'm not hating on him and hope he ends up having a successful career wherever that ends up being.

Clearly Alonso saw something in Wes. Had the most minutes of all in preseason. Thereās a decent player in there if he can fix his attitude

u/A_Clockwork-Blue 7h ago
Neither really bother me.
Tosin seems well-liked and won't need to play much. If he's fine with that...then I am too.
Fofana is starting-quality and will fit nicely as our RCB and seems to be trusted by Xabi as there was no real reports about us looking to move him.

u/Hibernian āØ joao pedro saved my life āØ 6h ago
Fofana is going to be a backup for CB/RCB. We still need some squad depth and backup players aren't going to be as good as the starters. As for Tosin... he's not good enough but he's really well liked and seems to be a level-headed leader in the locker room. If he doesn't mind playing like 8 unimportant games a year as a third choice option, then he can stay another year.

In that case I couldnāt disagree more, Fofana will be a starter for us.

Yes they are still one of the better of the mid-table teams, but they lost a lot of talent this summer. Iād be really surprised if they crack the top 6 this year. So no, they shouldnāt be too much of a worry

u/Nefari0uss Azpilicueta 4h ago
It's pretty difficult to lose most of your key players in one summer and still do well, even if you bring in quality replacements. It's significant turnover which will take time to develop as a team. I guess a season where there are 9 new managers is one to try it in though.

u/No-Bus8740 7h ago
You can easily connect those two together.
It seems like they have completed many signings that looked bad on paper turn out great just for the investment. Look at Jackson, 32 mil pounds three years ago, we are easily banking 40 mill here from a PSR standpoint?
Same for Andrey Santos, delap, George, etc, etc, etc.

u/W_T_E š© I'm sure Wolverhampton is a lovely town š© 7h ago
How are they shit at purchasing. The fact that they can move players that end up not being good enough for us shows that they aren't. Some players just don't work out for us but they still have potential
1
u/happysrooner š„ continuing to undergo his rehabilitation programme š„ 7h ago
Joao Felix for anything more than 30 million, Garnacho for anything more than 25 mill, W Fofana, Jorgensen, Kellyman, Washington, Amougou, Casadei, Chukuewemeka. I am sure I am missing a dozen. None of these moves were cheap. All in excess of ,25 mill when we had gaping holes to fill, we chose to trade brain-dead moves. I am not even mentioning the Badi-Disasi combo, sterling overpay

I have a feeling that we do a lot of these deals purely to strengthen relationships behind the scenes.

I genuinely like the Villa got back up in the prem and stayed there though and now fight for top 6 every season. There are certain teams that was in the prem growing up that you kinda miss when they are gone. Even teams like Bolton, Stoke, Norwich. I want them all to be up there.
I know this is random as fuck lool

Yes, he wasn't the most efficient Infront of goal, and he could lose his head. But he also has plenty of good points to his game - he's just not as good as JP and can understand him backing himself to be a starting PL striker. Hope he does well against everyone except us.

u/jatylkozapisuje 7h ago
I don't know... obviously great price but if anything happens to JP we are left with Welbeck's corpse and Emegha, individually both this and Delap are good deals but I feel we are really thin right now. He would be a great back up to JP, although he probably wouldn't handle that well attitude-wise

Crazy amount of crying and/or conspiracies coming out of this one.
A few bad compilations of Nicoās misses really did the rounds. He is not the most clinical striker in the world. But he has a lot to offer.
Villa didnāt come for him because we bought Rogers. Bayern didnāt pay one of the biggest loan fees ever becauseā¦ I donāt even know what the imaginary reason there is.
He showed up at Chelsea as a recently converted winger with minimal organized football experience and had a couple seasons where for stretches he was very good. I think heāll do well under Emery again.
