Yes, I don't understand why we have such a hard time letting them go. Is it because Howe is stubborn? Or that no one wants to take them with a pair of tongs? Or that they cling on? We should be able to get rid of some of the mentioned players this year. Anything less would be a disappointment.

I wonder what the plan is. As many has said, goalkeepers need to play. It doesn't seem likely in any way that he will sit on the bench. Can we believe that he has a chance to become the first-choice goalkeeper next season? Even if he doesn't start as one.

We would be stupied to sell now. I definitely think he can be ready for PL.

Thats seems way low. Why would it be so?

Cb and rw for me. Then gk.

😄

Yeah I like him a lot too, when he plays.

Nope, its the same cap for all teams.

Was half serious and half joking. But his injury situation the last 12 month (and earlier) doesnt fill me with confidence. A good player for his role though when healthy.

Will he ever play again though?

Have also a bad feeling about this one. Spors that is.

Yeah dont understand a thing here. Surely it can't be one or the other? Or was it for two different positions like we seem to be after?

It must be fun to be a sought after free agent these days.

Just put a damn cap on everything, like american sports (I know). All this has taken its toll of us suporters. But for real, no one can feel this is fun. In times of economic and environmental crisis it´s not right that you have to fly a cross the globe to get some pennies.

Was a good one the first bit though.

Let´s see what happens then, this summer. No exuses to not challange for top 4 and finish in a EL spot.

Think we lost the plot since the first window. Feels like a lot of the links are sideways and english..

Agree. But if we sell some players and really focus on a strong eleven we make it. All other clubs have europe also. Can see Villa and Spurs falling off. Then Chelsea and Man United you dont know. Same Liverpool to some extent. If we dont make EL at least I think Howes gone.

Focus on the strongest eleven we can get and let loss of all fluff. Then we can get top 4!

It depends I would say. Its tight at the top so if we do a good season and still end up "just" top 6, then I would say its ok. But if we huff and puff again and get top 6, just, with no real chance of a higher position. Then I would not be to sure.

Yeah, always feelt that this season wasnt just about bad luck. I think we need to be smarter and better with the ball. And that Howe has to be more flexibel with the squad between and in games. just not standrad 60 min subs regardless. We also has to be able to play and keep the ball and controll a game. to play defence like we did last season is not sustainable to prevent injurys, and win football games. We are doing something wrong.

For top 4-5 with no european football and with a good summer I dont really think we are that far behind. I think we will have a eleven that will challange with no excuses.

Yeah, next season is of massive significance for Howe. He must show that he can become a winner and not just play attractive football. Several times this year, and last year, we have lost and played our worst when it mattered the most. Next season, there will be no excuses, and we must become more clinical and ruthless. I am looking forward to a more cynical and efficient style of play where we have strengthened the squad in the positions we need. Not just going for 'good deals'."

But if he want to play for us because of Howe that really dont matter. And he will be a starter with his position to lose.

And that he cant handle a ball.
