If the 5th CL place goes to PL team, does 6 and 7 get Europa and 8th get the conference league?

Longstaff is good tactically but that's it he needs 2 solid cms alongside him to look good. Always been the case.

I think he's much better at home than away.

He tried at one point but was too soft

It's sick that if we had the Liverpool fixture switched we would not have played vs Salah or KDB

Does it double for ffp if you just do 6 months?

Really don't see why we are snubbing the Phillips loan price. Providing he stays fit he probably gets us into the top 7 which pays for the loan fee itself.

110m of player wasted this year.

Think we need 11 wins from the remaining 18 games to get top 6. If we scrap the Villa, Arsenal and City games we still have injuries thats 11 wins from 15. Its not pessimism its just clear what we need to do and its a big ask.

Dubs Trippier Burn Botman Schar Livra Longstaff Bruno Miggy Gordon Isak I'd go this tomorrow, park the bus and try and counter.

Thats only for Europe though.

We still have no legs in midfield against Rodri and Foden sadly. 5 at the back please.

Need to pump Kuols value, seeing lots of players get recalled, seems like a waste of everyones time at Volendam, get him in League 1 or something.

Anderson will likely go in 2 years too.

Hopefully the young lads we have signed the last few years can step up, I'm sure some of them are highly rated.

In terms of investment to go at the top 6 next year we probably dont need much, we have 80m of player to play for us next year who barely kicked a ball, Minteh to come back in. Miley and Hall should be more ready. 40m on out goings, bring in 120m worth of player and we should be in a good spot. Its not like we need 100m of sales to progress. Not sure how much the new manager will cost either.

Hes one of few players with value we can move on and upgrade.

If Howe doesn't adapt his tactics we are going to get ruined the next two games.

Kieran Maguire seems to think as long as we do nothing stupid we are fine by FFP with a rough loss of 65m over the last 3 years. Doesnt include the summer deals, CL, Adidas, Sela.

Arsenal decided to bail out City taking their rejects for inflated prices. City consistently sell around 30m of youngsters every year too. Liverpool have made some big sales too. Arsenal, Man U are fairly limited by FFP too.

Every player has a price, but us needing to sell being the headline is infuriating.

We need a player that can play as a RW as well as striker IMO. He would be too expensive but Bowen would be perfect. Starting RW, can play up top if Isak is out.

He's only done because Howe ran him into the ground. If he plays 30 minutes a week then he's a great striker

Decent source but not sure how that would work if him Isak and Wilson are all fit.

The only time we get leaks Gordon, Barnes, Livra, Hall is because other teams journalists put it out. Luke Edwards rep is based off the people he works with not his own sources.
