He's been a good pro at Gala. 35 goals in 39 appearances. Hard to know what the strategy is for Slot's flagship 9. He had Gimenez at Feyenoord. Traditional 9. Maybe they view Wirtz as transformational. If it isn't possible, they'll revert back to a 9.

Big Vic Osimhen would be my choice, but AFCON is the killer.

Which is probably more likely. Switching from him to a more traditional 9 is quite the shift. Unless they want bothπ

I think you're right, Kev. Especially if Diaz stays. We're stocked on the left.

Must be. He's spent a lot more than 450m.

You've got to demand the ball. Release it far quicker to boot. He has potential. No question. I'm just left wanting more most weeks.

General point, Ste. I just don't see it on a consistent basis. I expect more. There's a lot of game going on when he's just not present.

He's not without quality, but it's not channelled very well on a consistent basis. The quality in possession isn't present.

Yeah. A fashionable 60m purchase? No. I'd imagine there's good value out there.

Totally agree on the full backs. A priority. Doesn't have to be elite, Ste. Someone with the potential to get there would do for me.

I listened to a Duncan Castles podcast a few weeks back. He said Perez/Real now target top players and strategically tell them to wind down their contracts. They've an expanded Bernabeau to pay for.

Needs to win it at least 5-3. 6-2 would be dreamland. Zhao just hoovers up. Can't see it, Dave.

Fresh as a daisy. 50 year old Mark Williams was in two long wars with Higgins/Trump. Not taking anything away from Zhao. Too much of a deficit i reckon.
