Some lovely stuff in here:



Having said that, I can't help but think we're shopping at a tier lower than we used to. Buying players that have done quite well for a mid table side. When we bought Sterling, he'd been a key part of a team that almost won the league. When we bought Mahrez, he'd won the league and won at least one of the POTS awards in the process. When we bought KDB, he was the best player in the Bundesliga. Bernardo Silva had just won Ligue 1 and got to the semi-finals of the Champions League with a French team. The equivalent now would be us buying Saka (or Haaland, to be fair). Now we're linked with players that have done pretty well for Wolves, Leeds, West Ham, etc. And don't get me wrong, occasionally you'll unearth a gem from teams like that, but we do need to also be buying stuff from the top shelf occasionally too.

It's a bit deceptive in that West Ham have been buying better players than usual due to having more cash befor and after the Rice sale. Paqueta is another player they wouldn't have usually been able to obtain and but for the betting allegations he might have come here already.

We can only buy from selling clubs. Wolfsburg, Monaco and Dortmund are set up as selling clubs.

Gone are the days of us buying Arsenal or Liverpool's important players.

We could do it but we just don’t have the nuts if required to do it? Would we do £125m on Musiala if that was the fee? I doubt it personally

Bowen is better than Kudus, Kudus is a hot and cold player which at the top level doesn't fly

Yea he's older, but we have enough young wingers in Savinho, Doku and Bobb

Bowen improves our squad

Bowen isn't better than Kudus in any way. Not sure how this is even an argument. Maybe Bowen is better in Fantasy football ratings or some other metric but from the regular football metric that every football fan base their assessment on, Kudus is miles ahead. It's not even up for debate.

Got season ticket mates at the Hammers, know some others too, most agree Bowen is the better player even if Kudus is the more talented

They say he has a worldie in him, and can dribble past half a team but he goes down blind alleys, often goes for goal when a better option is available, runs down blind alleyways, can be lazy, makes stupid challenges when running back

Bowen isn't as flashy but he's a 7/10 player, gives his all is always a threat, makes intelligent runs, brings the team up the pitch, scores and assists regularly, is their penalty taker, covers more ground than anyone on the pitch, fittest on the team, does the defensive work

So yea, it's up for debate unless you go off twitter fans saying who's better for YouTube highlight reels instead dof watching 90 minutes
