McCooley’s maybe? Depends how you define “nice”.

Linked with city and Arsenal earlier this year

We've got some great players. But none of them are particularly geared up to hold onto the ball.

Good post in the Howe thread showing the stats on this....

I don't think we have the players capable of keeping hold of the ball more.

No chance.

I'm not sure what Howe's style is anymore Barnes has been one of our most effective players this season though.

There's a lot of assumptions being made here, a lot based on a shit journalist and even shitter posters on this forum. Let's see what the next two transfer windows bring.

I didn't, did I? I'm late to this party I said our tactics need sorting before we get a new striker.

You'd rather win a debate on the internet than see the club do well? Bit weird.

As well as a right winger, pacey CB, number 6 or number 10, new keeper etc etc.

I genuinely think we were squad building. I know we're not used to it, and it's not worked out that well (yet).

Sure, there's a place for that in certain games. Wilson should be that player, but we know why he isn't and it's gonna be hard to do much about it.

Yeah he was class. That small moment in time where him, Perez and Almiron linked up was marvellous to watch.

I'd rather solve the massive tactical issues that result in Isak being completely isolated before finding a striker who can cope with being isolated.

They play a 5-3-2 don't they?

We wanted Perrone, who is a dedicated DM. I assume that was just an FFP flip job though.

Last year tbf

Which times, out of interest?

Summer transfer window was horrendous and is the reason we’re doing so badly. No idea who to blame for it. But pretending everything is fine is weird.

you enjoyed watching us this season?

Is the term “happy clapper”?

I prefer to compare us to last season, given the desire is to actually improve.

I said we’ve been honking this year and you brought up previous managers. If you’re happy being better than Steve Bruce made us, go for it
