Worth getting excited about, then. Dazza is a very reliable source.

What concerns me is that we keep buying defenders and midfield players .
It looks like to me we will be playing the ball a lot at the back and taking an age to get it up to the forwards .
It is no good having 80 % of the game and losing 1-0 .
I think we are losing the idea of the game for showy football .
The idea of the game is to put the ball into the oppositions net more times than they put it in ours .
We need to buy a forward who will make that happen , as we won't play our best forward .

It isn't, but I can't think when that happened at all last season? Arguably Leeds away but frankly we were poor in that.

Could you please name one striker that guarantees more Premier League goals than Mateta who could be willing to join a club like CPFC and who is available for something less than ~£40m?

To help, Mateta's goals per 90 minutes last season is here - [Link] To save looking, he's 24th. The only players higher than him who are not at a top 6 club are Wissa (Brentford), Zaha (Palace), Cornet (Burnley) and Maddison (Leicester).

Feel free to include strikers already signed by other Premier League clubs this summer - I can't see anyone though.

If you can't name someone, then let's get behind Mateta, Edouard and Benteke, recognise that last year was our joint 2nd highest number of goals scored of this current PL spell, and recognise that everyone thinks Zaha, Eze and Olise are a good supporting cast?

I think everyone would agree that the two players we've spent money on - Doucoure and (likely) Richards - are in positions we were critically short of numbers.

I hate nothing more than possession for Possessions sake. Even Barca's brand of possession football made for a boring spectacle of a game. At least every now and then something amazing would happen then they'd score.

but we have to have a clear picture and plan of what we're trying To achieve, and the problem areas we have. Midfield is priority in this window. strikers, not so much. Just because we're buying defenders and midfielders doesn't mean that it'll be slow buildup. the Idea is to bring in The right players to transition through the positions, and create a scoring opportunity.

Chris Richard’s from Bayern is a done deal £10m plus add-ons 5yr deal.

AWB could be set for loan deal to Palace with obligation to buy next year for £20m

Fair play. You announced this the day before the news broke on the MSM yesterday.

a good post, however, whilst we didn't lose too many we did draw far too often when having decent possession.

Newcastle at home springs to mind - was it 77% possession??

Stop making things up, once again, he broke the news after it was all over news now. Picture attached. Once the news was in the public domain, Dazza then tried to post here as soon as possible in order to claim it as his own.

He hasn’t even signed yet. Give it a break.

Midlands Eagle, as always you have to result to insults and get personal, which is in breach of forum rules. You should be ashamed.

I posted evidence to highlight a post that gave incorrect information.

I've stopped caring at all if Dazza is right. I enjoy it. Think of it as entertainment and it's all sweet.

Never a need to get personal. Says a lot about someone. What he posted was correct.

I don’t understand why you are getting so ratty about this. As has been said before, you don’t have to read his posts. Some people like them, some don’t. Personally I do, as I do not frequent Twitter so it gives me some insight into our targets. If they don’t come to fruition, so be it
