Kova is going to be unreal at City Mount to Man United is the perfect signing for them.

We were linked in Jan as well.

Be nice if he was competition for Longstaff.

He seems more of a 8 than a 6.

Type of player I'd want us to sign over the likes of Gallagher, McTominay etc.

I respectfully disagree. He’s an unreal talent. He was on the list of potential targets the first time around before he went to City. Extremely versatile player. Sign him the fuck up.

it’s the same road the other way. We don’t know if Maddison can play the swarm pressing game, but if Ashworth, Eddie and Nickson want him then bang on let’s do that deal.

feel like you’d appreciate / be annoyed by this. Have a mate who’s a Man United fan who’s convinced we spent a ton with Saudi money and only uses Isak as the reference. Whilst obv trying to educate him on prior spend pre takeover and the depth of the squad from rele etc he was only hearing the Isak deal and then brought up the Gordon deal as a shit one. He’s massively informed too, so it’s odd. My usually harsh boss who’s a Dutch guy (Feyenoord fan, hates Ten Hag because he’s Ajax linked lol) said Dutch media portrays us pretty damn good. Built the right way. Measured etc. @Unbelievable Although he does like Botman after watching him this season.

Also don’t think Eddie gives a single fuck. He knows what he achieved. He’s probably already got the chess board and the transfer targets out over his tea and biscuit and he’s plotting the charge on the PL title next season.

I’d argue the title is the award itself. Give it the best manager who didn’t win the title. So it’s either Eddie or De Zerbi for me.

Player of the Season: Joelinton Most Improved Player of the Season: Longstaff Most Disappointing Player: Targett Signing of the Season: Pope Goal of the Season: Too many important ones; Miggy at Fulham for the audacity, but could probably be Isak v Spurs because it capped off that absurd Willock pass Assist of the season: Willock vs Spurs, Isak vs Everton - draw Game of the Season: Spurs Home, Brighton Home - draw Moment of the Season: Bruno's goal versus Brighton was the moment for me but close second was Joelinton's versus Spurs when he rounded Hugo Manager rating out of 10: 10 Season rating out of 10: 9

Pope - 8.5/10 Trippier - 8/10 Botman - 8/10 Schar - 8.5/10 Lascelles - 5.5/10 Targett - 4.5/10 Burn - 8/10 Joelinton - 9/10 Gordon - 5/10 St-Maximin - 7/10 Ritchie - 4/10 Murphy - 7.5/10 Almiron - 8.5/10 Willock - 8/10 Anderson - 6.5/10 Longstaff - 8/10 Bruno - 8/10 Wilson - 9/10 Isak - 9/10 Wood - 5.5/10

Why is Joelinton in full-form one of the most pleasing players to watch play? Like when he's on and bossing it's something else. Literally now miss football after watching that. Big Jow is a beast.

Spurs even have a manager?

There is a bit of talk about the new leicester training ground being an issue in terms of building comradery with it being so spread out and not a lot of mixing.

Wish we’d see it more often when he’s on the ball.

Maddison will probably be fine pressing and doing all the work Eddie asks him to do if he did indeed sign for us. Just because he didn’t do something prior may not mean he’s not equipped for it. We had no idea some of our guys were so good at pressing until Eddie drilled the tactical part and the physical part into them.

Fine with either. Just know that’s the type of player we need.

If the Ferran Torres rumors are true Ferran Isak Szo/Maddison JL/Willock Bruno Longie/Thuram oooof.

I know bruno thinks he should play football further up the pitch but unless we get a real top end DM who can play football like Rice or Caqueret or Ugarte then I do wonder if Bruno has the engine to play a pressing 8. His current role allows him to dictate our entire attacking play when we set up in the final 3rd. We need engines around him and we need one of them to have the ability to drop back or cover for him when he’s out playing the balls into the half space

imaigne if we sign Thuram or Kone who can play the Longie role. Lord.

Szo Isak Madders JL/Willock Bruno Longie

Get both.

Your club is my dad’s club, he lived there in the 70s - went to uni there, went to home matches, and I’ll always have soft spot for you guys. Hope you come back up swiftly pal.

I’m guessing those who have some bias against him probably assume the classic “if he’s so good why are they going down?” Line of thought which is totally bollocks. His defense, his goalkeeper, his aging mid and attack killed him. They’d prob have been fine over the haul if Rodgers wasn’t booted either.
