It was the difference in our Premier League and Champions League campaigns last season. We just didn't have the firepower up front in certain games to get us over the line. We controlled games but couldn't do what was necessary....score goals.
Gyokeres who had zero injures in his career he can easily can offer 6 more years at top level and strikers usually get better when they grow older.
All our best players in the team other than Rice had his hand in their transfer/inclusion in the team and he may have pocketed money *allegedly* but he also was able to sell our cast off for good money like 30mil for Theo and Iwobi, 45 for Ox.
True true. Just needed clarification because Pepe signing was a big flub. And club couldn't prove the money was given to him so they just told him to leave on his accord or get fired.
We are incredibly lucky to have so many young players not really even in their primes yet on the cusp of world class or at the very least being near the top of our league at their position. I think in this case it would be prudent to add experienced players around them to elevate the fine margins. We do have experience in the right areas of the spine, GK, CB, and our midfield to elevate our special young players.
The point of using stats vs top 5 in Portugal was to focus on clubs that averages closer to as strong as average EPL clubs to estimate how Gyok will do in EPL. Top 5 EPL is much stronger incomparable to top 5 Portugal, thus its unfair to compare Haaland vs top 5 EPL against Gyok vs top 5 Portugal. But to please you, on Haaland's best EPL season at 22/23 (use best season as was for Gyok and Nunez), vs top 5 EPL he did 7 starts (1 injured)/6g/5a.
Agreed, in the first part at least. I read a lot of comparisons to Havertz on here, but I just don't see it. Havertz feels much looser on the ball, and for the lack of a better word, languid in his approach. Gyok drives the ball upfield and towards goal while being much more physical in his approach. Kai can be slippery when he wants to be, but Gyok seems more of a bulldozer.
.17 PL games where we scored one or zero goals.
I assume you mean championship winning as opposed to a championship level club…
"Merino surprise" sounds like something that one aunt makes every Christmas but no one really eats.Agreed, Havertz is more of ball holding striker while Gyok takes shot quite often. Kai is very shy in the penalty box, we need more ruthlessness around the box. We will have lot of games so these 2 can rotate plus Merino surprise
Why you guys called the lower tier league the championship still boggles my mind. At least over here in the states, our lower tier baseball leagues are called AAA, AA, etc, and down so it sounds like something you'd call to get your car towed so you know you're in the pits.I assume you mean championship winning as opposed to a championship level club…
But yes, spot on.
Complete the deals in progress and add Eze and there be no complaints, in my view.
Yeah similar in Gyok will make EPL debut at 27, same as Vardy was in 14/15. Gyok is bigger, stronger, better ball carrier but Vardy is quicker, better movement, better finisher, impressive how he manages to scores >10 EPL goals/season for a mid table EPL team until he is 35.
