I have reminded myself that this is an Eddie Howe managed team. Whoever we sign the following players will be in Howe’s preferred first XI next season with anyone else getting bedded in: Tino Hall or Trippier Botman or Burn Tonali Joelinton Bruno Gordon Isak so that is eight first team places filled no matter what. Additionally it is going to take a bloody good player to replace the incumbents in the other three positions. i suspect we will only sign 1 player for those three semi vacant positions. Maybe 2 if value can be found. i therefore think we will mostly be looking at players that we believe can replicate the progress Tino has made over two seasons. in which case need to consider any positions where the cover is not quite at the standard we need (striker and CM)

Would make a cracking beer mat.

had to re read my original message a few times to make sure.

About to watch Real and Mallorca. The Bernabau is something else mind. Just awesome.

Happy to be proven to be completely wrong and for him to secure our CL spot, but based on the last 4-5 games I don't see this injured Isak providing us anything vital. He won't free up more space for other team mates since our opponents knows he's not able to go sprint properly. He doesn't/isn't able to dribble past players, so they don't need to double up on him when he has the ball. He doesn't close down anyone either so our opponents can pass the ball around in defence as they see fit. He hasn't exactly been clinical in front of goal in open play either. Even the game he scored the beautiful placed shot from outside the box he missed a ton of better chances. Instead of risking him further, get him the rest and aid he needs to get us off to a great start of next season is my preference. I know it won't happen though.

Screams Spice Boy midfield with “Madders” at Spurs. Eyebrows and Pencil Neck.

Now you're fucking talking.

All these transfers City, Liverpool are looking to do along with Arsenal is all a bit disheartening imo. They have the power and financial muscle to pay the big wages. Feels like it’s going to get harder and harder to stay up there

Guehi to Chelsea…

Ah misread one to one more. My bad.

Isak will play both no matter what. (Unless he absolutely can’t)

No.

What an honour, etc.

I’d say you were thinking along the same lines as me 🙂

Adidas should go and headhunt Castore's design team.

Marca reporting that Huijsen to Real Madrid is a done deal.

We need to win a game still, I'd still prefer this Isak to the alternatives. If we beat Arsenal then fair enough, leave him out v Everton.

So what @Ronaldo said then

If we win on Sunday, we only need him for 1.

What about Ian Rush? Or if we can’t get him, Callum Wilson?

With one year on his contract, I’d agree 12m is very much top end of his worth.

Even injured he’s far better (and his presence frees up more space for teammates) than the alternatives. He’s got another 10 days / 2 games of football, not weeks and months.

Just do the surgery now. Surely if most people on here can see he is injured, then our opponents sure as hell do too. We can't afford to play 10v11 for the last games hoping Isaks aura alone is going to magically gift us the goals we need. We've got other players that are capable of hitting a penalty. Give Osula rest of the season to prove he is capable of being a reliable squad player.
