    Apparently we are dropping our interest in Toney. That’s a relief. There seem to be plenty of other promising striker options out there for a much better price and at a younger age. Yes he’s proven PL calibre, but £80+ million for a 28 year-old is a bit much. Plus I’m not convinced on his attitude. Isak would be a better bet IMO (if we could pry him away from Newcastle). Or just take the plunge on a European player like this Sesko guy.

      I heard something a few weeks ago about Edu and Arteta being very unimpressed with his temperament, which I agree with entirely. I don’t think we’ll go for Isak mostly unless we can avoid a bidding war. Somehow I think Sesko is better value for money.

        I think when they signed Volland, I’m like god they’re in over their heads aren’t they. Just getting to CL that quickly they just weren’t prepared

          Not at all. It definitely takes time to build up the sporting infrastructure. Hard to believe we were in the 2. Bundesliga just a few seasons ago 🥲

            Hopefully this is a reset, Becker left the squad and that is a void that needs to be filled as demonstrated this season.
