I read the quotes more that Longstaff is likely seeking an exit knowing his starting days are largely numbered here. I'm ok with him leaving and wish him the best but how many academy home grown do we have that we could put in to help the European quota? Gillespie and Miley count. But I suppose maybe adding Sean Neave/Ben Parkinson/Anthony Munda would get around it too? They first two have been in the first team squads and Munda has been tipped for a while to break through.

Well we truly rode our fucking luck there. Great and incredibly important win that. Hopefully we sharpen up a bit so we don't make things so bloody difficult and stressful lol

He looks up and body shape like he tried a pop.

He's not meant that.. ..has he...

Cant get too annoyed. We know we aren't there yet. Hence the wastefulness upfront, switch off and mistakes at the back. DM don't always help either. When we upgrade to fix those areas we will be a top 4 side consistently. We have seen and known that for a while. We are just in a frustrating "nearly there" phase.

Break neck game. Some absolutely stunning movement and free flowing attacking from us at times. No surprises we lack a bit of killer instinct and mess up the last pass too often but we are also creating enough players (Isak) is bound to score eventually. Just have to keep it tighter in defensive midfield and watch the Brentford breaks. Class half for the neutral.

Just came in to post that. Sanusi getting injured might have salvaged his career. He desperately needs a solid loan move though to get minutes he needs to continue improving.

We have reportedly scouted him and he's keen on coming. One to watch for sure.

While another promotion would have been ace, another year to develop here is fine. We would another very large turnover if we went up imo. That's not ideal to stay up and everyone to gel. Incremental change with the team growing as a whole is good. A handful or top quality additions in the summer and then hopefully less turnover necessary when we eventually go up.

All of this. We will have plenty of game time for the new striker with European footie added in. Having 2 top tier strikers shouldn't be an issue for a top 4 team. Most have had 3 or 4 atthe same time over the years. While the money is on David going to somewhere like Barca, even given David's form and pedigree there is no guarantees on a starting spot at any of the biggest clubs. Especially when changing leagues/country.

Dibling at 100m? So Isak now $600m starting bid? Inflation is crazy these days.

Just turned 28. Not sure we have a ton of resale mileage in him like with Lloyd Kelly. Especially with his injury history it seems a bit risky, we have that with Wilson already. We have backup in Osula who should be on an upswing (if he is progressing) while DLC is likely trending the opposite direction with time. Unless we are shifting Osula and bringing two strikers in. We need someone that is a high level nearer Isak than Osula imo.

...Or no fucks America after that performance. Pretty substandard Canadian performance,but it was still largely a controlled walk in the park. US are a mess. All the rah rah from Poch and two embarrassingly limp performances. Apathy or priced out by the ludicrous ticket prices the lack of US fans in attendance was just as bad. There is a point where yet another change is pointless though. It appears as was skeptically predicted when hired, Poch gives zero shits and is there for the money. He will likely be picking up more severance in the summer if USMNT doesn't win the GC or at least look like the team in Poch's words "can win World Cup with help of Donald Trump and fans" The closing shot of the feed showing the beach was apt, it was evidently where the fans and most of the US team where for the majority of the match.
