- he scored 6 goals last season, the same as Broja - he scored them in Ligue 1, which Nick didn’t think was a great League based on his critique of Dembele

Not really feeling much post Gao euphoria these days....more return of Lowe spend cheap spend twice pigheadedness fatigue
Even though we are spending a bit of money, this feels like the Jan Poortvliet season. Where we tried playing total football in the championship and had a miserable season.

**Congratulations** Your post has been entered into the prize draw for 2 half price premium hospitality tickets to enjoy in person a 7-0 scoreline at the Lane on Aug 6th 2022.
The new owners, as did Gao, have stated they are not going to spend big on players, so let’s get used to it. They have spent money on kids that they hope will flourish and are then sold for a large fee. This is a huge gamble but I’m sure they MUST be aware of what relegation means to their investment!?
Gao was constantly lambasted for not buying big. How long until the new owners get the same treatment? Hopefully they don’t as that would mean they’ve uncovered some gems and we are on the way of overtaking our 9 (nine) wins in the PL last season.
Also let’s see what happens if a bid comes in for our 2 assets, JWP and KWP…
We thought that we had the answers,
It was the questions we had wrong.

This is just like the Lowe era lots of mediocre players bought cheaply. Surely it would be better to spend big on maybe 3 class players than waste the same amount on potential. l think we are in for some hidings this season.

I've never heard of him but I just did an online search and he's scored a career total of 7 goals in 34 Ligue 1 games over 2 seasons, although he's only ever played the full 90 minutes once, and is currently valued at £2.7 mill on transfermarkt.
What gives cause for hope is that 5 of his league goals were scored in his last 7 games. He's also scored 4 goals in his last 6 games for France U20s.
Let's hope our scouts have seen great potential in him and that we've got a player on the cusp of being a great striker.
I’d never heard of Tino and Broja when we brought them in so here’s hoping the new guys make the same impact. Sounds like Newcastle were sniffing around this guy hoping to pick him up for peanuts from Bordeaux but we offered decent wedge to help the club out of their financial difficulties.

For the following
Extensively scouted
That means that his agent has sent reports to quite a few other clubs.
Ran PSG ragged (am guessing this, in truth) He didn't get off the bench in the first game, played 22 minutes as sub in the second a 3-0 defeat.
Star in a struggling side
He started 8 games plus 18 off the bench, around 890 minutes in total
Bordeaux desperate to keep him
They probably where when they signed him to a new deal but events have overtaken them and they now need to sell him and quickly
A number of Top 6 sides after him Not sure that any sides that have been mentioned are top six

For all the whining and whinging going on, would you rather be in our position or:
Bournemouth - what mega signings have they made Leeds - lost their best players and a similar model to Saints re. buying Everton - lost their best player and have no money Fulham - definition of a yo yo club
Many other sides have not made many purchases. Yes, our signings (on the whole) are of young players that are unproven. It ight not work but better than going out and getting players like Hoedt, Carillo and many other flops we paid 16 million for.

Add in Forest and we could yet retain our 15th Place trophy.
