Menace

Doku just reminds me of ASM

He must be worth close to £80-£90M now surely? If you consider the Grealish transfer and the fact that we really don't need to sell Also worth noting - Gordon is obviously the better player but Barnes has a very decent goals return as a left winger last few years. We potentially have a bunch of wingers who could get us 30 goals a season - that's Martinelli/Saka returns.

Thats a big ask tbf Watkins never seems to get injured for Villa, I'm sure Spurs will sign a striker this summer too.

I still think we're quite short of challenging top 4 unless we have an incredible summer - but if we keep building on a top 6 achievement/target I'm happy with that. Last seasons achievement has made some of our fans think we should be challenging top 4 when IMO we're quite a bit off that.

If Howe manages to get top 6/7 with the season we've had - its a massive achievement in all honesty. I expected us to get top 6 beginning of the season without the nonsense thats happened to us throughout - top 4 wasn't realistic considering Liverpool rebuilt, Villa are far stronger than last year, as well as Ange making Spurs a serious team again.

Crumpy Gunt

Watkins numbers under Emery are pretty insane like

Will the posters who have a pop when a shit result occurs now appear to praise him?

Great result. We need a player similar to Willock in summer.

Can anyone tell me why he didn't get any game time today

Delighted Neto has gone off - he's dangerous.

We have missed Willock big time

Breach of gardening leave if this is true surely?

https://twitter.com/thehoweattack?t=KeNd3i6ADtVtm_Ei0Tz9Qg&s=09 Check his replies. Seems like he's been talking to Tonali last few months

I have genuinely no recollection of Joe Kinnear's time at the club, all I can remember is him saying he has a contract extension on his table waiting to be signed, and the infamous radio interview... what an era we have been through

Definitely Souness. Paying £8M for Boumsong 6 months after Rangers signed him for free was very dodgy. His signings were absolutely shit, and the guy was very unlikeable. No wonder he just did punditry for the rest of his career after we binned him off. That hiring set us back minimum 6 years.

He'd absolutely fiest in Serie A tbf. Could easily play for 3-4 years too.

One of the best players I've ever seen live

Would Klopp have got top 4 with our team last year?

Why not just sell some of her shares rather than taking money out? Makes no sense really.

Also if BT/Sky zoom the cameras into his face on the bench

Whats happened to our CB's last few weeks man

A lot of posters I've never seen before coming out full swing tonight - interesting

Someone made a post in here saying someone close to him says he's terrified of getting sold in the summer - I believe it. Even during last year, he constantly talked about Howe assuring him of his role at the club, how important he is to the team etc. Must have zero self belief in himself. Sad really.

I think people are being incredibly harsh considering Longstaff leaves massive gaps leaving him (who isn't the quickest) and also Bruno (who also isn't the quickest) with massive gaps to fill. I suspect next season he'll be immense when the midfield has far better shape.
