No way they would come here unless we offer better salaries And that’s where “right player, right price” hit. We won’t get them at the “right price” we thought.

Chelsea doesn’t have the funds, they are bound by UEFA rulings that they must have transfer profits in this window or they will really get severe penalty. This is just bullshit. The real potential suitor for Bruno is Real Madrid. Keep an eye on them.

It’s still a bit unbelievable to me. Make it 60 games,20 crosses per match? I don’t recall we are that dominant in most games that we are able to make so many crosses

wait a fucking minute. 1200 crosses in 38 matches? That’s close to 30 crosses per game No fucking way. More likely we had just put in around 8-10 crosses per match

Aye long term he should replace Botman but for next season he could be the understudy of Schar first. under 20m is a good deal, please be true

That Viery kid looks good value as Schars replacement

Yea taking the ball forward is the main problem - and tbh it’s Howe’s main weakness.

If you want to sell at the right time, you have to accept that the players contribution to the team cannot be fully replaced at the moment of sales. Just like Joelinton. I said he should be sold two years earlier if we want to have any decent fees. People disagreed and think he is too valuable to the team. Whilst their points were valid, two years passed and now we won’t be able to find any suitors for Joe. So for Barnes - if you really want to stick to the principle and recoup any fees, now is the last chance to do it. If you think he is too valuable to be sold, then you should be prepared that Barnes will likely play for 2-3 more years and then leave for free.

1. Double by the scums, that alone makes it 1 already.

Exactly. We should blame Howe for this instead.

…I ain’t totally disagree with your word but, the last-chance saloon does catch my eyes. I mean, it surely has to be his last chance here right? If we keep on like this we are going to fight against relegation next season.

yea but Eddie can think in other way. tbh I do think Eddie has priority in some players that he is willing to change the formation in order to play his favourites

Isn’t this means lost the dressing room?

Emotionally it is understandable to continue with Eddie for the next season. But then logically it is really not a good decision. I mean, we all know the risk of this decision is high and the outcome could be devastating (spending huge in the summer, losing run and fighting against relegation, no more good manager available at that time etc). As a professional management, PIF shouldn’t take such a risky approach. I personally blame PIF more than Eddie. You shouldn’t expect Eddie to just walk away anyway. He won’t walk as long as PIF still supports him. To those Howe-in, I would just say it probably doesn’t worth for Eddie to continue - the chance of turning the corner is slim (objective comment from all parties, believe it or don’t), and the consequence is his legacy could be massively impacted as the consequence is too much to take. It’s up to you to continue your stand. I was supporting him to continue after last game as I thought the 4231 is the answer he finally need - and I was surprised that he threw it away and change to 5311, “successfully” make Fulham looked like Barca again. Yea it could just be he wanted to test it for next season, just like the Hall RB experiment - whatever.

Can’t believe it’s Ramsay who’s off.

you said “trying an in-house replacement” yourself man…..it’s you who twisted your own word. If you just say it’s an option / cover then fine. But your own word is in-house RB replacement. Now that’s fucking mental.

Yes, it is fucking mental to think Hall should be playing out of position to be the RB replacement. Just stick Hall at LB and buy a new RB in the summer. Simple. Don’t tell me you really think next season we should be going like this. Please

The first question you should ask is why Burn is starting at LB

At most we would be seeing Park and Neave on bench. At most

Insane. I rather he picked MLS.

Wait a minute. Spence? The rumoured 26 player list shouldn’t have Spence?

Burn is a set piece monster in international match. He is already dominating in EPL and pretty sure he can win every header in the World Cup. I can understand this selection

Unlikely, very unlikely mate. I mean if that’s really true and we have no news nor rumours approaching the coaches / managers we mentioned in the other thread, then it’s fucking worrying and imo extremely incompetent from PIF side. At the very least we should have approach Iraola

yea I also think this is on Tuchel rather than Howe but I really not sure how Hall see this personally.

Sometimes I wonder if he is a WUM
