Saliba looked very comfortable against him.Quote:

?60m release clause.....I saw enough there to think that with Ode and Saka supplying him, he'd be good. Our CB's did a number on him though.....as they have to HaalandQuote:

I haven't changed my opinion- we are not yet good enough to be able to cope with having a proper centre forward in the side. Maybe in a few years. :-)
Not sure he would be a better fit for us than Kai right now and the demands for him to start every game would be overwhelming. Same for the barcode chap; the reason I'd fancy Ferguson, if we really are determined to get a new forward.Quote:

I just think he's not really any different to Kai. Isak and Gyokeres both have paceQuote:

Is it wrong for me to say that I'm happy with Kai at CF and just want to see what this team can do after a long run with out first choice starting XI?Quote:

But firstly, that means a new CF signing would have to be better than Leo or Jeez but also content just to be a plan B.
And also, if Ethan could play inside left as well as inside right, then we'd now have the option of bringing him on for MM and keeping Kai at CF when needing a late goal.
A lot could depend on whether we can get TP to sign an extension. If that happens, that gives us more time to find the perfect young MF.
Is a top CF gonna come just to be plan B, assuming Kai keeps showing us how well he makes us play when he's CF?
We'd almost be better with a young player who can play across the front line, pref right footed so they could cover for Kai and B.
