I love takes like this. Whenever there is a player who fans want to get rid of who is hanging around (e.g. Sancho or Ryan Fraser in our case), he is castigated for not wanting to play football and only thinking about the money. Whenever it would be better for us to stay as backup but the player wants to leave so he can play first team football (e.g. Dubs), the player is castigated for not wanting to stay and fight for his place

Thought van Nistelrooy had been peddled weeks ago

That is all very well but that is not the way to share minutes around the squad to prevent fatigue and injury

Reckon a medical will be mentioned by the COB today, either Pedro or Trafford.

The finger thing means the Saudi tax

I can see 3 centre halves being used more as well (think away at Arsenal in the league).

Asks absolutely shite questions during press conferences, too.

Nah, the people still talking about it now should tbh. Football is all about petty grievances around tribal lines. If a player ruffles feathers then fans should care rather than not. Down with this 'I don't care about anything because I'm just a chilled out dude' craic that comes predominantly from across the Atlantic and in reality just ends up with nothing being sacred and everything being sanitised and boring. Give me Dubravka's head.

Wonderful gif.

If we had Sandro optimised from the start it’s a 75+ point season for us. Our problem is that lack of depth. Id be happy with those transfers + a CM Howe would play ahead of changing formations due to unavailability of 2 players.

Can't be, Baldwards said Mbeumo and Guehi were top if the list

I'd blow my load.

Why wouldn't we get both?

What the fuck does this have to do with other clubs' transfers? Every thread gets polluted with waffle.

We get both imo. They aren’t a similar profile and largely don’t play in the same positions.

I agree we have to go for it, I just think no matter what we feasibly do we won't be challenging for the title. But let's park that, it's all good to disagree on such points. If we manage to bring in Say Elanga, João Pedro, Trafford and a top centre half consider me happy.

I don't think they're working through our list

N-O's targets or the clubs targets?

With a smart and aggressive window we can go from a 4-8th squad to a 3rd - 6th squad. You have to consolidate the position imo. We can agree to disagree. I actually think our work so far indicates we are going for it. I think the Trafford transfer is one you do from a position of power. I don’t think he comes in and takes the shirt straight away unless Pope is sold.

Fair. Those people need to just relax and stop taking themselves and everything else so seriously, then.

The trivia question about stockport countys ground being closest to the Mersey seems to be on its way out Also, piss poor looking shirt

There was no competition for the place, though. He'd just had a brilliant 5 months end of the 21/22 season, did nothing wrong, and was dropped first game. No getting back from that. Was the right call, too as Pope was superb, but I don't blame Dubravka for giving it a go elsewhere. Just didn't happen for him.
