That is incorrect. He's a very good passer (much better than most dribbling wingers), has high IQ and vision, makes good decisions and keeps possession very well. And no I am not his relative or summat, I described clearly his shortcomings: poor off ball movement, weak shot power and mediocre workrate.

They have 30 players with a squad number and 4 without(Lukaku, Hudson Adoi, Sarr and Ziyech). 1 players looks like leaving currently(Lewis Hall) and they want rid of Gallagher and Matsen so they'll have 27 players..plus anymore they bring in.

We have 27 with 3 on the out(Cancelo, Laporte and Steffen) so 24

But how does their 27 stack up against squad rules and 17 foreign players?

We have managed to these rules very well over recent years with usually a space spare.

Doesn’t seem that many then really..
 
Any skeletons in the cupboard count Doku?

No secret bets? Any police investigations imminent?

These are the first questions Txiki needs to ask
The player. Might aswell know from the start.

No wonder west ham ramped up the Paqueta price. Didn’t want the news out. Hoped we would fuck off haha.
 
In the past Romano was pretty close to Chelsea so it`s believable. They also showed interest in Barcola (likely to move with Lyon out of the CL). I bet headlines like "Doku snubbed city for chelsea" are tempting for their ego & the fanbase would celebrate Boehly for the new dopamine rush.

I think a player with a profile like Doku is more needed than Paqueta. If we are selling Cancelo & doesn´trust Gomez/Bobb we would only have Foden as a fast RW/LW (Palmer isn´t). But it seems Pep (reluctant), the player & majority of the fans wants to see him playing more centrally. I know we won everything last year without a pacey winger but the squad situation has changed. Mahrez/Bernardo could deliever g/a/ be important because of their superior technical skills. But with Gundo gone/KDB injury concerns Bernardo would be more useful in the midfield. To have at least the option of a pacey winger would be very helpful & improve our tactical versatility.
 
Doku will be a success should we get it done, so many exceptional qualities that can be worked with and developed!

Totally agree. Plus last season we had KDB to provide pace up the front and he had the full license to roam left and right. Thus Pep preferred control than the pace on the wing. This season KDB will be out for months and even when he is back we cannot ask him to do so much running. Bernado as a right midfieder will need pace outside and we all know Walker cannot run every game like a young lad again. So It is a must to have Doku or any pacey winger out wide on the right.
