I know that Colo has been absolutely shit and a poor player and that he's more or less past it these days. But i really think a motivated Colo is a lot better than he has shown lately. Saying that i wouldn't hope for much really when it comes to him. But maybe, maaaybe he can give it a last push if the feeling around the place can be a fresh start everyone concerned.

Sign a CF, CB, LB and a winger of good quality and i'll be over the fucking moon. That's 5 new players in total.

Janmaat or Wijnaldum. Players that could do a good job as a captain while also two players that we should build the team around.

I wonder why we didn't try before they sold Payet and Imbula. Assuming that we didn't.

True

Can see us trying for Ntep instead.

Well we need a new winger. Should try again.

Use him in a correct way and he can be very very effective in our team. I don't want him to be a playmaker or the one to look for to make that final pass in the last third. Get him to play it as simple as possible, without too many touches when standing still/going slow. When he's at full speed and there's space to run in to he's brutal. When we are defending too deep with too many bodies and no pressing and win the ball back and Sissoko charges 70m forward that's when he runs into blind alleys because there's barely any team mates to release a simple effective pass to, because no one has been able to get to the last third quick enough because everyone has been instructed to get back and defend. I have become very frustrated with him many times, like with many other players, but we've been a fucking mess in every way. I liked what i read the other day, that the coaches are trying get the players to press the opposition instead of everyone sitting back. IF we can do this well and have more players up the pitch when we actually win the ball then our transition from defence to attack could be brutal with Wijnaldum and Sissoko to name two. Hopefully we can add to this instead of selling after making a quality signing. One last thing, i remember seeing Sissoko at Toulouse a few games, and instead of trying to through the back four he often had lots of options to make a simple pass to and then make a powerful run in to the box. He didn't always get it but it did create space for other players. He got the ball back two times after a pass and run iirc, scored one of them.

Oh yeah it was, now i remember

Remember that photo that someone posted with a pipe looking as if it was about to fall down? He emailed the club at least twice about it and that they should have a look at it. I don't remember if it was fixed or not, but watch it now, falling down on Mrs Mitrovic with a deadly outcome

Judging with plenty of facts huh? (Tioté looked unfit though)

Mentioning Game of Thrones made me think about Thauvin as King Joffrey

Mitrovic is coming! His brother convinced him what a professional club it is where even the cleaning staff have their own dressing room and shirts.

The problem with getting two new one's in is £££ and neither will come to sit on the bench. If we're aiming for good ones i mean. Much rather use that cash in other areas as well.

Lee Ryder ‏@lee_ryder 42 sför 43 sekunder sedan Visa översättning #nufc certainly want Aleksandar Mitrovic as their next signing. Up to the player now. Wow, how comes he knows so much?

I hope not!

You owe me a new screen!

At least by the sounds of it, it does seem like the players will be allowed to move off the ball, and make a new move after the pass has been released. For De Jong and Wijnaldum it's natural for them to run in to the box as well. Usually we had f*** all in there when a ball came in

I remember reading somewhere when he talked about character, saying that he wants player who always look for the ball and want it instead of hiding.

I like players with a suspect attitude tbh. As long as they perform. Would not mind Thauvin as his playing style reminds me a lot of HBA

Serbian war criminal is probably out hunting people.

Probably paying up front as well.

Yeah i've been thinking the same. Maybe he also means people that have the kind of character that makes them able to perform at the big stage as well.

Linked with Mario Lemina as well. Central midfielder (defensive)

He has better pace and acceleration than Cabella, but also a questionable attitude. Probably more suited to play really wide. Most punchable face ever as well
