Qwiss that was the original plan, right? As much as Havertz has proved his worth, I don't think he's ever going to be enough at CF and I don't think we've seen enough of Havertz to say he can't own the left 8 role.
Don Pacifico Havertz is fine. What we need is another Saka out left, and then Havertz will be maximised. If we find a scoring left winger we are set. If we find a striker, I think we will find that we probably still need to deal with left wing anyway
Claudius for sure, I don't think it's a case of either/or, we should definitely get both of we want to be elite.
Don Pacifico difference is I think we can be the best team in Europe with Havertz starting. Don’t think we can do it with Martinelli starting
Claudius I agree with your prioritisation but not sure I quite have the confidence to believe it would make us the best team in Europe!
Also very much depends on who we bring in; I know I'm a broken record but I really don't want another 'system' player as I think we need more options for when that system breaks down. Don't think I'll get my wish though.
Don Pacifico he's a good squad player but he's not good enough in any position to be a first XI player if we want to consistently win things. He's a very solid player but there is little to no magic there. I think we have a squad with too many players like that but when its your centre forward it really shows.
some source I have never heard of before are saying we want Damsgaard. Horrible.
Its a bit of an issue if we can't afford £58m for one of our main targets this window.

Qwiss nah with Williams it's his wages, he is on over 200.000 euros per week now, and wants 300 or over, depending on what report you read. Add the sign on bonus, agent fees. He won't get that from anyone bar Barcelona. Not even Chelsea will pay that for him, as he is simply, not worth that much, I mean we are talking about a guy that Gabriel Magalhaes smokes when it comes to scoring rate
Eze and Esse at Palace!
Lee Kang-In links are interesting

Exactly the type of player we need! Get Elneny to put in the call!

Hope we don't waste all of January chasing Nico Williams like we did in the summer, need to move on quickly if it isn't possible and get someone this window.
HomeSteak on what report you read. Add the sign on bonus, agent fees. He won't get that from anyone bar Barcelona. Not even Chelsea will pay that for him, as he is simply, not worth that much, I mean we are talking about a guy that Gabriel Magalhaes smokes when it comes to scoring rate
I think for Williams he had his heart set on playing with Lamine Yamal rather than just the money. Seeing how they can barely register Olmo might make him reconsider whether he wants to stay or not.
He ain't worth paying monster wages for, we've worked hard to create a proper wage structure and he needs to fit in that.
Coombs seems to me it's more like sending an email, being told no, and giving up.
Don't forget getting a WyScout subscription, sorting by X and filtering by Y. This is hard labor.
I've always wanted a goal scoring left winger to add balance to the team but the more I think about it, and the more I look for that player (there aren't many out there), I've started to come around to getting a prolific CF like Gyokeres or Vlahovic and then opening up the options for recruitment on the left wing to more of a creator/1v1 player like a Nico Williams. We just need more chance creation and a prolific CF would clearly add more goals but probably also add more gravity that would give our players more room to work. I love Havertz and I think he can be a title winning CF but the issue is he needs a goal scoring LW to complement him IMO since he's not going to create a ton of chances for himself. It's not going to solve every issue but hopefully bringing in someone like Nico Williams this window is feasible since he is a long term target and would eliminate another need we have for the summer. If we can't pull forward long term targets, I'd be up for a short term solution like Kang-in on loan but nothing that's going to hamper our long term business.
