If we have the money I’d rather sign someone like a Kubo who is the right age profile and a far superior player

We have to look at someone at a higher level than Gnomto - seen enough of him to suggest he isn’t the one

I think Poch would be a decent choice tbh

Didn’t even know we had a Spanish coach

These crowd issues have apparently been ongoing throughout the tournament - concerns have been raised even by the Argies regarding lack of security for families

Probably because most people fell asleep after 65 mins

Chiesa

I’d happily take Soule and Mbuemo tbh

Yeah this - there has to be something in Anderson going the other way surely?

How many signings is that now for Chelsea?

The fact he can play both sides means he ticks the box for me

That Turkish left back - shades of Tino about him

Should just go to a local park and play the French there - fitting place for both

To not take a single LB in an extended 26 man squad is crazy - by all means take a gamble on Shaw, that’s fine - I’m guessing Chilwell isn’t injured? No harm in taking one of Hall and Mitchell either Bloke is on crack

Wonder how far we would go with this - Pope Tino - Lascelles - Burn - Hall Longstaff - Miley - Willock Gordon - Wilson - Barnes

96 was a fantastic side imo - was so well balanced - you basically had Pearce and Platt (and Neville) acting as your flexible positional options meaning you could change from a 4411 to 3511 pretty comfortably - added to this you had players who were so comfortable on the ball - was a really good team that

Think a really intense pre season and he should be close to where he was - they generally say with ACLs it’s about 18 months until you start to get back to where you should be

Yeah wasn’t concentrating - obvious to every NUFC fan RW is the position we need to strengthen

Wonder if Mitchell takes a look at Yousuf Fofana for that CM position - just the type we need - can play 6 and 8 - 1 year of contract left - excellent value for money - can give us a bit of what Bruno, Tonali and Joe give as well as excellent squad depth

Sorry meant RW

Yeah I agree CB and RW are the top priority this window Then a player who can play RB/CB just to give us depth on that side with Trippier going A young CM to replace Anderson (Desire Doue?) CF - to cover Wilson so CB - RW - RB/CB - CM - CF for me - an all round refresh

He’ll have his team and stats available to him - players he’s had on his list - players who he’s watched - players like Steve Nickson may have watched - then it’s a case of sitting round the table and seeing what the value of player X is - does he fit our profile? What’s his ceiling? Cost? He’d have the final say with Nickson working with him to advise

It’s more to do with having a structure and people in places that are competent in what they do - Mitchell is another welcome addition to this ever growing list - all clubs that have ambition must get this part right as well as things on the pitch - generally these go hand in hand

He overshaw a huge transition at Monaco in 2 years which is very similar to our deadwood scenario during this summer - dramatically cut a huge squad to a more younger and dynamic one

Turks remind me of the Argies - pure drama
