Sorry, meant to say tactically superior... hard to beat ASM on the skills stats

My take on this is that if eddie can get 40-50 million for maxi he will take it. he will spend that money on a pacy winger-come-striker who puts in the defensive shift and is technically superior and able to carry out instructions. I love ASM going forward and just for the breathtaking ability he has, but football is a team game and if we want to be CONSISTENT we need top class players who are good at all facest of the game. For example; i was screaming at ASM for the stupid lunge he made allowing the cross to come in for the Burnley goal last week. I bet Eddie was seething... He would have trained it into every player not to go to ground and to stand players up and make life difficult for them. Other more tactically adept players would not have allowed that cross through or would have forced a pass backwards.

Lodi is not the answer. Has flattered to deceive in la liga tbf...

I am now hoping Leeds will go down, I really think Phillips would elevate our midfield and be the anchorman in midfield which would allow other to be more creative going forward.

From a couple of months back to now, what a difference! hats off to the lad, completely proved a lot of us wrong... and gladly so! Would keep him as decent back up now.

Gabriel Jesus and Fernandinho next...

I think we should go all out for Raphina, just sos´ we can get a "Brazilian" feel to the team. Would be great for publicity and endearing us to other fans if we had half the brazilian team playing for us. Although he has been utter tripe this season for Atletico, I would even begrdugingly accept Lodi just cos it would be another brazilian...

Wouldnt mind any of Wilson, schar, targett and big joe starting next season.

I hope we will spend 150M+ this summer, on quality additions over quantity (5 or 6 players better than what we already have). Signings in order of priority: Striker (guaranteed 15-20 goals) 60M Defensive Midfielder 35M Right wing (Lingard Free) Centre Back (35M) Targett or other (15-25M) Upcoming striker who can play wings also (30M) Players sales of 25M?

Watching him this season after quoted interest and he just seems average... honest, I can´t see why we would want him...

Ok, chris was overvalued. But if Ivan Toney is going for 40-50 million (maximum: mid table striker) then surely Maxi would have to be sold for the same? Low to mid table "savior"

I don´t understand this at all. He is so far behind any of the defenders currently at NUFC, including Clarke imo. Why would you not replace him with someone who merits a place in the squad and can be decent back up???

If Chris Wood is worth 25M then I cannot beleive that we would take anything under 40-50M for ASM...

I don´t want to see Lodi signed, have watched him twice live and a few times on TV this season and he is not as good as being made out. He is no better than Matt Targett and there is the addded risk that he might not adapt to the prem. He is not hugely fast and has never nailed his position at Atletico Madrid, always flitting between left back and left wing. No thanks

Don´t think we will recoup that much tbh. maybe 20 million or so (order of worth)... Hayden Darlow Gayle fernandez Ritchie Dummet Clark

With watford going down, Sarr would be a good shout. Lingard rumerology seems like he would be open to come up north. With these two we have some more attacking width, one free and the other reasonable price I guess. Striker, we need more goals and a guarantee apart from Wilson. Spend 50-60 million on a great striker (Osihman?). Defensive midfielder/pivot; Someone along the lines of hoijberg. Centre back; need somebody with pace, both Dan and Schar aren´t that quick and we deffo lack some pace to allow us to press high up the pitch. I reckon 120 million spend would have us top eight.

Berjwin from Spurs leaving in the summer. Supposedly can play anywhere along the front, can´t say I know much about him...

This 100%

Come on Chelsea! Give the scouse mackems a doing today to keep their confidence low!

Aye, i think pace and trickery against their defence is the way to go. ASM free role up front as Van dyck would lick up any of Chris woods argy bargy... Miggy---ASM----Murphy with The two joes and bruno nehind them

For me I would line to see a proper defensive midfield pivot playing in fron to the back four instead of jonjo. Phillips would be perfect... Then a pacey striker, with two supporting acts either side. My team would look like: ‐‐-----------dubs-------------- tripps----schar-----dan----targett -------------phillips--------------- --------bruno---------goalinton--- diaby---------osihmen------ASM

I like him, he is good solid back up, but deffo not a gamechanger

Unbelievable how we have impressed under Howe. last night was great, we even had some impressive passing moves going and one touch vertical footy... Well done Eddie!

Barcelona with Tino hatrick. Best atmosphere I have ever seen at SJP

Hope they turn it on tonight. I have a free night and will be able to watch it in peace!! Big chris and maxi to score!!
