Yeah, with fit being a keyword.

Who's going to do the deals though? You can't have scouts negotiating everything can you, that's not their job.

Best PL era managers (at least 38 games in charge). Keegan still pipping Howe at the post, points per game wise.

Posting this video for the second time (Wilson thread). But it really feels like that moment when we found out we'd CL could be a pivotal moment in our history. Europa League vs Champions League are two different roads of attracting talent, keeping talent, PSR wiggle room etc. Where we go from here just wouldn't happen had Villa won, it'll be good to remember that moment down the road in years to come if it pays off.

Would be a really good signing if he could stay fit.

Pretty sure they were around when Chester signed Ian Rush.

Has Eddie Howe written all over it.

About 6 minutes into this you can see when Wilson goes to the centre of the pitch to applaud the fans. It really wound me up watching that because you could hear people singing his song, and it was totally drowned out by the bloody music. How shite are we at this stuff? Just blaring music over any sort of post match atmosphere. I know negotiations are ongoing with Wilson but I'd like it if we sorted stuff like this out before the final game and gave players like him a proper moment in the stadium, similar to what Liverpool do, rather than players like Wilson applauding the crowd while Go West by the Pet Shop Boys blasts out at full volume.

What do people think about the Jacob Ramsey links? Personally I do not want. Good player but we really need to be going for reliable players imo.

I was! It's was tragic. Barnes as well 🤢

Knock it off man andy.

Still maintain it's a pretty overrated position and many of these 'strategic' people stay no longer than a year or two. More often than not, they just add another layer of ego.

What's Howe's way of doing things and what way has it been since it wasn't whatever what Howe's way is?

Before Mitchell came we’d signed Bruno,Botman,Tonali,Isak. I quite like that transfer routine.

I agree, he shouldn’t have spoken in public, just like Howe shouldn’t have spoken the way he did before the season started. Still, my point stands, we don’t know what’s been going on behind the scenes (if much at all) but that’s why I think it’s wrong to point fingers without facts/info. I guess some people always need a scapegoat. There might not even be one in this case and that’s why I don’t like it.

The look of a man whos just been given his first summer holiday in 3 years.

But why are you just assuming the worst at every turn? We don’t know that this has anything to do with a disagreement with Howe or his way of doing things.

Cheeky arsehole. Howe will go back to his way of doing things.

Who gives a fuck man, honestly. This is the best period of being a supporter in over two decades and we’ve consistently signed brilliant players who’ve delivered a trophy and champions league twice. Stop worrying about a load of nonsense

I don't think that's true at all.

Top tip, thanks

Yeah, I noticed most of Southgate's Euro team kinda flopped this season, didn't they? Saka wasn't great at the end, and Palmer, Foden and the rest – they didn't finish strong either. Think the guys need a break.

What are you talking about and/or how many drinks have you had today?

Because Mitchell was revamping it if he leaves howe will probably go back to the way he does things.

Note to self - stopping opening this fucking thread jesus!!!
