    Mo Salah is really going to win the Ballon d’Or……….

    idk whos even in contention. Vini/Jude/mbappe I think are cancelling each other out and not having a 'special' season. Bayern I also dunno....kane is their best shout probably. so no to that. Italy? nobody standing out either. PSG dembele I guess? so no.

    its salah head and shoulders above everyone else this season. even if they didnt win the title he'd win it imo.

    Thoughts on Mateta in the summer?

    Seems to be the way we’re going despite the fact that we’re apparently “not going for anyone over the age of 25” even though he’s well over 25 and the oldest out of him, Gyokeres and Osimhen.

    Coincidentally… he just so happens to be the cheapest 🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔

    are you arguing for arguing sake or do you actually want us to only sign 25 and under year old strikers, cause our track record of doing that is terrible and I would rather see us change and score goals than have some moral victory about it all

    Gyokeres and Osimhen are over 25 as well.

    My point was, there was a briefing not too long ago that said Gyok and Osi were unlikely due to their age, but now we’re targeting the oldest and cheapest of the 3.

    He has 44 G/A in the PL this season. That’s the highest ever and there’s still 10 more games to go lmao

    The only way it isn’t gift wrapped for Salah is if PSG manage to knock them out in the return leg and someone else who’s having a good season leads their side to a CL win

    Mateta is OK, leads the no.9 position in a way that’s superior to our options. Though I can’t imagine Palace letting him go for cheap and then at that point the juice probably isn’t worth the squeeze.

    Of those three players mentioned I’d think my preference would be Osimhen. Most proven of the names linked and he’s the type of striker that has it when it comes to go goalscoring.

    I think Osimhen would probably end up somewhat close to Mateta price wise and be much better for it as well

    Im sure I saw he’s got a 60 something release clause

    I got all that the first time, I don't think the implications of oldest and cheapest fit like we're signing a 33 year old championship striker and not a 27 year old Premier League striker that will cost a lot nevertheless

    "Only 25 and younger" sounds nice on paper (... ) but a 27 year old isn't scouting at the retirement home, and striker is the only position we don't currently have someone proven and experienced in

    Plus the crop of sub 25 year old strikers are mostly s***. Isak is the most proven out there right now and 1. He’d cost about 150m and 2. we’re not swimming in that pool right now

    forget about the cost, it’s a matter of appeal right now

    the United ‘pull’ isn’t what it use to be, especially with no champions league

    Not being able to overpay either anymore

    I feel like in previous years we’d just get the player at a massively inflated fee

    As we all know with years of bad ownership and performance it’s caught up to us so we can’t do that anymore. Every roll of the dice has to be pinpoint

    if the season ended rn, who is 2nd and third? I can't even come up with a worthy list. raphinha is wild, but I guess there by default.

    I bet Gyok would come here in a heartbeat.

    True especially Vini and Mbappe are incompatible. Real should get rid of Vinicius, Mbappe way better and he’s not a c***.

  • I’d rather get Mateta over Gyok. Been shown that Sporting team does not translate well to the PL

    yeah totally, but I think its mostly cause he'd look best in Red

    bruno and Ronaldo would say otherwise.
