Sahar, Neave, Park and Finneran all need loans next season - Cordero too - think they all need a step up from U21s to see if they can make the leap into first team football in the next 12-18 months

It’s going to be a tough call if that comes to pass as currently imo we need 2 wingers (one) on either side as it is - there is no way Murphy should be here next season and the priority should be to sell him first Its a tough job this summer for Wilson

And breathe

That’s never a pen 50/50 pull on each other

I remember watching Abde in the Conference final vs Chelsea for the 1st time - stood out head and shoulders above everyone (especially in the 1st half)

He’s an all round midfield - crucially, he can pass a ball - he’s not a Chiek Tiote style player - more of a technical footballer, gets the ball, passes it forward - can take set pieces also Would be an excellent signing imo

Sounds like your stereotypical South American

Sad how crap the 2 European comps outside the CL are

I think the more open German league defo suits his style a lot more Spain is quite slow, possession based

Nah he’s 30ish and very error prone

I mean if there is scope to sell him this summer - look at it - but at the same time we need to sell next summer too - Joe and Barnes are the obvious too Going to be very difficult selling so many given our current squad holes

It’s just sensible squad build - something we should now implement given that our footballing structure looks a lot healthier (DoF, Tech Dir etc) and decisions like these are better made with long term views in mind

On top of this we need to get a good loan for Finneran - there is potential for him to be in our squad for 27/28 - probably our best prospect to break through next

Leave Big Joe for this season - but defo sell him next season (with Barnes)

He’s a left sided CB - more of a long term Burn replacement - very good on the ball Him and Mathealie and that left side is covered long term

Hence the links to Lamine Camara - he is very good on the ball

I can’t be having Pope start for us unless it’s a R2 league cup match -,his career as a 1st choice for us should be well and truly over

I would say on the whole that the vast majority on here have been very supportive of Howe these last 3 plus years prior to this season. This season has been a shitshow Do I blame Howe - yes because he coaches these players However my anger is mainly towards to top brass - they take the majority of blame - I think we went 4 windows without a signing - the chickens are now coming home to roost given we have holes everywhere in this squad and a manager carrying all the flack unfairly imo and as a result is under enormous stress going into the summer Where the fuck was the strategy from the top brass? A complete lack of vision and squad neglect from them

We play zero football TCD - away from home i have no idea what we are doing or what the game plan is - it’s as if everything is slowed down in order for a simple pass to be made - it’s slow and ponderous His team selections don’t help either - we seem to change personnel and formation every game post the break - you can’t build any consistency with that

The managers bar Cesc are always the same - just move clubs every 2 years - seems to be an unwritten rule Gattuso man - he surely has the best agent on the planet - hopeless coach now has a gig at Lazio The Conte and the Napoli Presidents press conference was hilarious - basically firing shots at each other

We won 4 away matches this season in the league - that’s a major concern - Everton A was probably our best performance? Albeit a 45 min performance Theres literally no plan away from home - we can’t seem to build attacks - can’t seem to defend either - absolute powder puff at times - what can he possibly do to address this? I haven’t seen anything to encourage me

0/10 - a pathetic season imo - from start to finish Poor recruitment Poor performances Poor tactics There is nothing positive to come out of the season.

One of the worst football songs ever since Arsenal medley

He has done nothing but piss about post international break - baffling line ups - baffling positional acumen - baffling tactics - not so baffling performances Tossed away a chance of Europe It’s 4-3-3 or nothing with him - there is no way we will ever be a possession based team under him - he doesn’t know how to implement it

29 league defeats over 2 seasons
