Hugo Boss

[Brizzle]

Yup

 

[Fabio]

Spelt his name wrong


This place is going down the shitter. Can't invite any of the players on here now

 

[Fabio]

Much better

I'm so sorry Hugo

 

[Fabio]

Fucking mad window this init?

 

[Buddha]

…so looks like potentially like an Ekitike and a Mateta instead of an Isak?…

 

[Brizzle]

I hope it’s an Ekitike, plus a Guehi… then assess an extra striker.

If we need Szobo can do a false 9 job. I’m getting very anxious about our roster of 2 CBs and an Endo as cover for a whole season.

 

[Buddha]

I read somewhere that stats player profile-wise, Ekitike’s most likely Dembele in Europe…

 

[Modo]

I was against signing Ekitike, but seems like the club did their due diligence on this one so obviously I hope it works out.
I think we should sign another young striker as well. Someone we can take somewhat of a risk on, like an unknown player from South America or something, like when City signed Alvarez.

Not too sure about Rodrygo being our backup striker.

Might as well go with Danns if you want to develop a young striker. We rarely give any playing time to anyone in that 18-21 age bracket, so it doesn't make sense to really buy one, when we have a decent one in our youth ranks

Let’s hope he has an injury free, promising pre season..

 

[bluebell]

Can we please talk about the title @Fabio ?

 

[Al_Gatto]

I'm guessing the nerds have done a background check on Etikite but that one fashion photo worries me. Hopefully a one-off pisstake showing he doesn't take himself too seriously.

 

[peekay]

Frankfurts history of selling strikers is making me nervous about this transfer. @darkstarexodus has posted about this several times.

Wouldn't mind it, but Slot doesn't seem to rate him.

Thread title option 2: Hugo Boss

 

[dogboy]

Why don't we sign Wissa? Far cheaper anda proven premier League scorer.

Thread title option 3:
Hugo first

Guehi, rodrygo, Ekitike, cheap backup striker and I'll be happy. Only allowable departures are Diaz, Nunez and Elliott. If we lose Konate, then another CB will be required, unless slot fancies giving nallo the extra minutes.

I trust our scouting, data, and transfer teams. But yeah, they do have a track record of rinsing other clubs.

Thread title option 2: Hugo Boss

The obvious winner.

Plus, it's Ekitike so would be fitting that Option 2 comes up the winner

 

[Hyena]

Rodrygo, Gakpo, Ekitike, Mateta, Salah is a killer combination and no one is going to gaslight me that it isn't.

Will he pull a Trent and just put Hugo on his next jersey. I keep saying his name 15 different ways.

 

[Brizzle]

Ekitike is Ekitike backwards

Hmm...

How else could you say Ekitike other than Ekitike?

ANYWAYYYYY. He obviously does not have Isak's unworldly ability to rifle in shots from ridiculous distances / angles

But Wirtz, Szobo, Salah, and Bradley/Frimpong are clearly going to have a lot of fun playing with our new No. 9.

 

[Hyena]

Few things that stand out.

[1] His link up play is excellent.

[2] His timing to meet crosses / cutbacks / beat the offside trap is incredible.

[3] His long legs are great for getting that extra bit of separation to get shots off.

[4] Has a great way of toe-poking goals in

[5] Needs to work on his long shots / power

same, we really need the cb

i was wondering if robbos time at cb against preston was an audition for playing him there in an emergency (watched about 2 mins of that game). really hope not.

They won’t know if he’s coming or Rodri-going

 

[Holle]

His looks remind me of Trent Wanker-Fuckface.

Don't want.
