I know mate, thats why i apologised - i'm always posting and then noticing someone has already said the same thing or the original poster has corrected himself!

Erm, yes it is. Sorry, should really read the rest of the thread before posting a condescending reply like that!

5'11", so about the same as Bruno, I guess

No one knows, but reports would suggest we are after an central midfielder in addition to an attacking mid/winger hybrid - so I would guess Tonali or Barella and Maddison or Szloboszlai

Tonali would be ideal - could play alongside Bruno and our midfield wouldn't look so devoid of creativity when Bruno is unavailable

Jesus. People on here really need a transfer!

Any mackems there?

Apologies for bumping this, but I do wonder if the club see McTominay not only as a midfield option but also someone who can cover central defence. He has played there a lot for Scotland and he's right footed.

The fact they look to be set at different times could explain it.

I don't think its about backup. Its about having two 11s that can do the same job to the same standards. With the 5 subs allowed now the use of the squad has completely changed. We are massively lacking in squad depth, while at least 9 of our first 11 are good enough to be starting next season

I think if we continue to use 3 8s who effectively have to do everything in midfield he wouldn't be a bad option. If buying bim means we can afford someone like Szobozlai then i wouldnt mind it. Everyone has noticed who much worse we looked as a team when Longstaff was out and McTominay could be utilised in almost exactly the same role. Im firmly of the belief that we should be buying players that suit the way our team plays. Obviously this is all price dependent.

Jesus, really? They have an entire team of attacking midfielders already

It would surely make it easier for Levy to sell to a giant like Real. Probably more palatable for the Spurs fans to see him sold oversea too.

Benzema leaving Real

Not a great look for the Reubens... https://www.theguardian.com/lifeandstyle/2023/jun/03/the-billionaires-have-won-english-pubs-forced-to-close-after-owners-demand-full-rent-for-lockdown?CMP=Share_AndroidApp_Other

Might have been an idea to spend some money on a striker rather than spunking 80m on another shitty, non productive winger.

My guess is three top class players of about 50-60m, but with quite a few younger development players, so we can start off the Brighton plus model

Close to tears. What a season!

You'd think hinchcliffe was a 30 goal a season striker the way he goes on

The main reason liverpool have the ball in play more than us is not because of our dark arts, its because Liverpool play for 100 minutes every other week

Do we want Man U to concede, or just for the bin dippers to be out of it?

Always loved VAR

Nah, Les is miles ahead of him

As soon as the mackems got dicked by Luton i knew we were going to win this
