I know right. Why does Ole never do the thing with the sprinkles and the sparkly whatnot. Fecking grinds my gears.

Of course it is. Young is finished and we can't spend the season with just Dalot and Shaw as our only fullbacks.
We will sign him.
A steal, like our other "world record" Shaw?
Anyway. Walker was 53m. So for "world record" shouldn't it be more?
How the fecks that Ole's fault
It what world do you think OGS manages transfers? Jose didn’t, LVG didn’t and neither did Moyes.
Get a grip.
... what??
This one feels inevitable. Not sure how I feel about it. First of, I'm a fan of Dakota and second the guy hasn't impressed me with the ball at his feet in the final third.
I always find if funny when some people just say "pay up/pay whatever they want" etc. Money doesn't grow on trees.

DakotaSettle down. And do you think Ole is the one deciding how much we will pay for each target?
Isn't that a Stereophonics song?
I'm also a fan of Dalot but he couldn't defend to save his life in his debut season.
Debut season at age 19. The good thing is that he's also comfortable at LB so will still get many games.
I'm more concerned about his pace for a full-back.
Jeez how many times the younger ones will have to repeat this. Defenders aren't meant to defend. Their job is to pick the ball from the net and distribute the ball elegantly upfront.
I highly recommend the below viewing for anyone who wants to know more about how AWB became a full-back, his general progress before breaking into the Palace first team, how he transitioned from a left winger to a right back, etc.
The coaches that spent more than just one season with him also give their opinions on his strengths, mentality etc.
It's relevant from 2 mins 50 seconds onwards:

I know, I'm not saying he won't improve in that area, but he was seriously bad at defending at times. He's positionally very suspect and got too easily skinned by opponent wingers several times. He's a very talented footballer though but we haven't so far got the defenders beside him to compensate for his lack of defensive skills so going into the season with him as a first choice fullback would be too high of a risk.
Why the feck are so many people talking about Dalot as if us signing AWB would mean he is out of the picture? We only have 1 fecking player that can kinda play as RB now unless you count Young and Darmian. He will get plenty of minutes next season. This is not your FIFA game, players gets injured and needs rests for feck's sake.

Defenders shouldn't be judged upon their defensive skills but on how many assists they create. Defenders should be judged on how they are good in attacking and attacking minded players should be judged on their abilities to backtrack and defend.
His tackling stats are absurd.
What are his offensenive stats?
Give this place Messi and they will complain that he jogs around too much without contributing defensively and is a liability on the pitch
Bit harsh, no?
How the fecks that Ole's fault
Sorry I meant Woodward. feck sake, caused all this drama1 -

He'd have to go down a league to do that.
Or he could play dalot as wingback and If AWB comes than him as right sided cb.

I didn't bite as I thought it was a wind up and you were faux blaming Ole for Woodies perceived shortcomings.
Love this no nonsense style. Got my heart set on this signing.
Let's buy him quickly and move on to the next target
Then retire from internationals or decide to play for Congo after the contract is signed.
