Not sure there'll be much disagreement that we have one of the very best forwards in the Premier League, but what about the rest of them.
I hope Guedes stays until the summer at least, and Strand Larsen is also a player who we should keep hold of. I also think Rodrigo Gomes will become a good player. So those 4, for me are definite keeps.
Forbes and Bellegarde are good squad players, but I wouldn't be sorry to see Sarabia go, and certainly Hwang despite his goal yesterday. Will Sasa ever be fit? I know nothing of Gonzalez.
Dare I even mention that multi-million pound player out on loan?
Jorgan Strand Larsen
Matheus Cunha
Hee Chan Hwang
Sasa Kalajdzic
Rodrigo Gomes
Pablo Sarabia
Carlos Forbes
Jean-Ricner Bellegarde
Goncalo Guedes
Enso Gonzales
How good is our squad? 3. Forwards

You're going to have to wait to discuss our mighty defence.

Obviously we're all waiting for the Craig Dawson chat but at least we can talk about the forwards twice

Would like to see more of Forbes he looks good from the small amount I have seen him play, Strand Larsen is a good one, need to see Rodrigo more, most of the rest will probably go one way or another by next summer either because they don’t want to stay or are not good enough or both, or in the case of Cunha if someone like PSG pays £70 m

Guedes doesn't look like a good player at all imo

What? He was outstanding last night. Admittedly it's the first time I've seen him him put in that level of performance in 2 and a half years but it shows its there.

Jorgan Strand Larsen - talent, has proven himself in the PL, a little more consistency should come with experience.
Matheus Cunha - best player in the league at the moment, possibly Europe. Has just about everything. We need to start planning his for his replacement.
Hee Chan Hwang - he's a bit of an enigma, decent finisher, but all round can we afford to keep him, I dunno, but he raises our profile in the far east so he's probs gonna stay for a while yet whatever
Sasa Kalajdzic - seems like a lovely bloke and personally you want him to succeed. Great gpg record when he's fit, but he's rarely fit. Let's see how he recovers from his latest ACL.
Rodrigo Gomes - Don't really see him as a forward, no more so than RAN anyway, got goals in him though, one for the future.
Pablo Sarabia - Has a touch of class but not what you need in a relegation scrap tbh. Would grace a top 6 team playing the odd half an hour here and there, making assists, not enough for us though.
Carlos Forbes - quick
Jean-Ricner Bellegarde - just don't know, again not one for when the going gets tough, some ability for sure, maybe he'll develop into a more rounded player in the next couple of years.
Goncalo Guedes - another enigma, again talented but it seems only in his terms. Hopefully Pereiera can get the best out of him but like Nunes, Bruno Lage's class of '22 has failed to live up to its billing.
Enso Gonzales - can't really comment, hope he recovers well

Think we have three players there that are worth a shat to be honest in Cunha, Larson and Guedes, and the likelihood is that two of those are gone in the summer. Don't think we will be looking to move on Guedes in January.
A few serviceable subs in Hwang, Rodrigo and Sarabia though I suspect Sarabia will be out of here in January. Would take pretty much any fee for Hwang, and would pop over and drive him to his new club myself if an offer toward 10 million came in. Rodrigo looks promising and I like him, should play a decent part the rest of the season.
Kalajdzic won't play for us again, wouldn't be surprised if we just send Forbes back in January to make way for new signings. Enso, still way too early.

Oh and Bellegarde, meh, not fussed at all but he may be a decent sub option here or there, just don't wanna see him starting games.

We still have to buy Strand Larsen I think, not sure when that can happen and for how much , but we need to do it

Weird comment. He's barely played and then been brilliant the last two games.

Guedes for me is a good player. Why we haven't seen that until recently I'm not sure. Don't think it's just down to Pereira, thought that will have helped, I think he was showing promise even in the last few games under GON.

Pretty sure we will see Sasa again later in the season. Unlikely he’ll ever be a regular starter though.
Fosun Out!
