How much would someone like Kalvin Phillips cost? £50m+? There’s no denying that he’s a good player. But is he REALLY worth that much? (For us, at this moment in time) For that money I think we can do better business considering that we need a few players and won’t spend 200+ million in one window. Getting the right deals and signings could strengthen us more overall than going for only a few super expensive ones imo. In this case for example, I’d rather see us going for say Matheus Nunes for around £35m and sign someone more defensive minded like Grillitsch on a “free” and then have cash over for other areas. IIRC we have been linked with him before, not sure. I reckon a midfield trio of Bruno and Nunes and Grillitsch would be absolutely class as well as well balanced in every way. This without spending ridiculous money. Too me this feels like very good value for money. I like the idea of going for players like Bruno. Very high quality with their best years ahead of them. Tons of hunger to improve and have new experiences. Players that will grow with us and build up their name in a new league with us.

Shelvey is still not good enough imo. Especially for next season. Cover at best.

We need to sign quite a few players, aye. But let’s not underestimate the risk of ruining team spirit and the bond within the squad now. Don’t want to disrupt it too much by replacing an entire defence or midfield in just one go. Dont get me wrong, we need to be slightly ruthless. But replacing every starting player in various areas isn’t the right way to go, plus we wont sign that many players. We’d be looking at maybe 8 players then, maybe 9 for the 1st team. Get one top quality CB and CM and striker and a RW to begin with. Then maybe add a more attacking or defensive cm depending on the CM of choice above. After this we could add some depth maybe depending on who leaves and what’s available on the market. Schär will get playing time next season and rightly so. Even if not starting. Having said that, if someone gets sold then we might also get a promising cab jn to fill up.

Former Leeds striker isn’t he? Well, a nobody. No one from Brighton.

I think we will get 5-6.

Ive heard from some that some of the flaws are technically/in general play. One guy mentioned Lukaku in comparison, even though they are different kind of players. Personally I haven’t seen enough of Nunez

He has just arrived into a new league. Im sure most of you wouldn't know yet if he'd be able to start for whatever team or not.

Merino is twice the player of Shelvey defensively, and in every way more or less.

The technical ability in this trio as a midfield would be filthy Safe to say that there's potential to be decent in possession.

Top 8 should be the aim imo.

Decent hattrick from Darwin Nunez earlier tbf.

I think we will win another 3-4 games. Not that it really matters for sake of being safe.

Personally I think Burnley are too ineffective and Everton will do just enough in their home games I think. Hope I’m wrong.

Well done Eddie!

We are safe mate.

Anyone remember how hard the kick in the balls was when Watford equalised in the 93rd minute? Me neither. Bring on next season ?

Wanted Everton down but Burnley won’t be missed either

Dybala signed the contract 10 seconds ago. Done.

Burnley Down.

Soon mate, soon.

Same here, I agree. I’m equally sick of hearing the Weghorst shite now

I can tell..

Do people never get tired of this Weghorst shite
