I actually genuinely love Longie but think the major issue with him is he’s usually only his best with Bruno and when he’s playing in his 8 role. He’s quite poor as the 6 under Howe. We are better off with getting a backup 6 and using Miley to play backup.

How the fuck were we meant to sell him in Jan when we literally were 60% injured? Whatever we did or didn’t do in January is irrelevant, we finished 7th and would have had Europe if not for city giving away a cup final to the worst man united side in ages.

yep. My major issue in letting trips go and with tino starting is we lose a hell of a lot of our ball playing and chance creation

I genuinely feel sad for him every time I see him. It’s so weird I feel this way.

And then you’ve got grown adults in the studio, podcasts, social media and message boards saying “well thems the rules” and just either blindly defend it or go back to blaming the player for knowing better. The common sense thing to do is sort the fucking rule out and call it out for what it is, stupid.

I’ve honestly not got my head around and maybe won’t ever, the complete fall from being our visible leader on and off pitch to where this is likely end up.

Only benefit of a loan is he won’t play against us

Fine with it provided we get a proper fee. No thanks if not. I still think he’s our best fullback.

You’d be spending 50-60m on the same version of Botman we bought. Just look at the price of Yoro.

You can’t even compare prices from 1 season to the next; the base price seemingly inches or jumps higher and higher.

A CDM, sign him. Fk it.

Unless we’re getting a fee that helps us this window to sign someone else then I don’t see any reason to sell him. id still start him over Livra if both are fit and on form.

Where did Brighton finish last season? Bournemouth? Thats what I thought.

Wouldn’t surprise me if he’s locked out of Monaco players for a time frame via a non compete as part of his departure.

If it was up to me, our first away match of the season at a place we haven't had much joy under Howe...Id play Trips, Krafu, Burn and Kelly for this one. And then assess fitness for Forest and Spurs.

I would just aim to have experienced, former AFCB player IN Kelly at LB to keep us super tight. Give him some much needed full match time in a familiar place.

Forest, you should have taken Targett...you cunts.

Pope, Tino, Krafu, Burn, Kelly, Long, Bruno, Jow, Murphy, Isak, Gordon

If Liverpool pay less than we are offered, then there is something really rotten about how we were treated. Otherwise, i'm 100% supportive of buying abroad to spite and not fund the dealings of clubs with chairmen/owners who complained about us being taken over enough to slow it down, then created bullshit anti-competitive measures to limit our growth, and further continue to "tax" us for no apparent reason. All the while, we play nice because we have to. Fuck them. I hope our players absolutely get into all of them on the pitch too - More Big Jow and BDB clattering. I'm sick of us walking on egg shells tbh. Fucking get into their faces.

Really do not want to do Liverpool or Palace any favors in any of this. fuck the both of them.

Younger and likely cheaper / more durable. Same.

He played 37 times in all comps last season. 10 total goals. 3 assists. 9 of the goals were in the league. Looks like he started most of those.

Get in Leicester!

Would be available for a decent fee and under Eddie could really flourish. Outside of his injury he has had some shocking coaching at Juve.

Guehi and Chiesa, get it done. Pope Tino/Trips Schar/Guehi Botman/Burn Hall/Kelly Tonali/Longstaff Bruno/Miley Joelinton/Willock Chiesa/Murphy Isak/Wilson/Osula Gordon/Barnes Great depth ^^ and some interesting combinations could be had with that.
