It all depends on whether Howe wants to play a flat back four or not IMO. If we want to play four at the back, Targett at the supposed price is a no-brainer IMO. He's excellent defensively, competent in possession and is a decent crosser of the ball. If we want to go with wing backs, I can see how we might want someone who's more of an attacking threat on that flank. I suspect we'll possibly go between the two systems but signing a guy who's purely a left back for a team that will spend a lot of time playing without one might not make sense. Do we think he could play on the left side of 3 CBs? If yes, he might have a bit more versatility as a squad option?

I actually think we'll get Paqueta, fucking mental a thought as that is

They really should have made a better chance out of that situation.

Good stuff from ASM there, got the head up and played the ball on time.

Not sure Alan Smith should be commentating on Arsenal games, seems quite biased.

Middle of Leaving Cert English Paper 2 for me. We went into the exam when it was 1-0 to Germany. Some lad ran up to the exam hall and shouted "1-1. Robbie Keane in the last minute! Yeah!!" Whole exam hall erupted then we got back to writing

Flip spends a lifetime overrating every Brazilian on the forum and then we're about to sign one and this is the moment he chooses to take a balanced view

Cheers lads, appreciate the posts.

Could be a good shout. Think the company is officially going to be 'LIV Golf'. Hope it's not them mind you, think that whole thing is gonna be a shitshow

Osimhen is the striker we've been linked with a lot that I'd be most excited about. Just looks like a fantastic young player who will only get better.

Turned it on to a free kick just immediately being hoofed long beyond everyone out for a goal kick. Turned off again.

I also think there's a very good chance we'll mostly operate in a 3-5-2 next season. Don't remember seeing us linked to many real wide attacking players, seems to be mostly strikers and players who can play just off and do more damage centrally.

"to the championship where they belong" is just outrageous levels of self-ownage

Bruno man, shit pass to Murphy there.

Thought Dubravka should have been out dealing with that Salah chance, ball over the top was very deep.

That was the chance. Poor strike.

Yeah. All the way in on the Saudi's breakaway golf league, apparently.

He actually did better than I expected

Hopefully Milner is taken for a CAT scan. Was a scary scene earlier.

ASM has turned into a bit of a donkey, it seems.

God a spawny late goal to nick a 1-1 here would be delightful.

That's incredible defending by Targett.

She corrected herself on next replay tbf when she saw the contact.

Just straight up cheating there.
