All depends on fee - Liverpool will take us to the cleaners FWIW I think we should put off a new keeper until the following season - assuming Dubs stays - bigger priorities elsewhere
-
Pretty sure he speaks Italian - used to like him on Italian Football on BT - knew his stuff He’s one of those intellectual types
-
He has a bit of Bruno - Willock and Big Joe to his game
-
His first name starts with S, surname with L
-
Plays on the right of a 3 - but can also play 6 Doesn’t go missing in games
-
He 100% suits our profile - in the current set up he plays on the right of midfield - essentially is the Longstaff upgrade we crave - can play as a 6 or alongside Tonali in a 2 - you can play Big Joe as LWF - there is so much flexibility I want 5 midfielders competing - Bruno - Tonali - Big Joe - Willock - Ederson with Miley and Anderson continuing their development and coming in and out - even bigger bonus if we qualify for Europe There’s no time for sentiment - I don’t want Longstaff as 5th choice - sell him and move on
-
If we want to compete high up then the likes of Longstaff are surplus to requirements in the summer - doesn’t cut it
-
Scalvini Ederson Kubo J David (L Kelly free - Minteh recall) Depending on L Hall situation - if we send him back, get Leif Davis Out - Lascelles - Targett - Longstaff - Wilson - Almiron - Dummett - Ritchie
-
The good thing about the Dutch is that they pride themselves in their wing play - so was a fantastic move for Minteh - got to play CL - EL and AFCON all in one season
-
I was thinking L Kelly and L Davis for the left - then spend big on an elite CB
-
Anyone watching/watched the match? Dis Bakayoko play? Was he any good?
-
LM or LWF - technically he’s very good - really tidy footballer - so much going for him if he stays clear of injuries - him and Miley have been 2 class promotions from the Academy If we are desperate he can be makeshift forward
-
His game is very similar to Messi when he was on the RW - I mean Leo is, Leo, but the approach is very similar - he has an eye for a pass and for a little guy packs some power in his shots - seems really intelligent in his play
-
I haven’t looked at his injury record but him and Olise seem very prone to muscular injuries - won’t suit our press
-
Yep - all you said is that there were some rumours. He’s a quality player - there’s plenty of RWs to chose from - I personally think Kubo is the best of the lot Kubo - Bakayoko - Cherki - Neto - Olise - (Guy from Lille)
-
Ederson is a cross between Bruno, Joelinton and Willock, essentially what Longstaff should be. He’s strong, quick, not afraid to put a tackle in, canny passer and has an eye for a goal - the final piece in our midfield jigsaw, you replace Longstaff with him then you have a strong 5 in Tonali, Bruno, Joe, Joe and Ederson with Anderson and Miley developing nicely in the background - ai really do hope we sign him
-
Very late in the game Bruno spun and passed it to him, expecting a quick 1-2 - he (Longstaff passed it back) - could see Bruno getting frustrated with him
-
Ederson - covers all our midfielders
-
Imagine having him and Miley coming through together - fkn Ashley era man Really hope things like this are in the past - we potentially have a goldmine of talent in the NE
-
Yeah totally agree - him and Leif Davis would be a good pair to have on the left - allowing us to spend big on a elite CB
-
Nico is fantastic Whilst we are talking about La Liga wingers - Kubo is another I would love to sign
-
I’d get Jonathan David to replace him
-
The positioning of Longstaff is dreadful - so many times he drifts into a position where no one can pass him the ball
