Big Al would be proud

All the bullshitters out there - I knew she wouldn’t leave him - could see it on the signing video

This is basically it for me - it’s really unbalanced and also lacks quality in the XI GK - CB - RW - key XI signings RB - LB need competition - I like the look of Alex Murphy - for RB > Aina? DM - we lack an additional 6 that provides Tonali with competition AM - a genuine creative player to provide competition Hybrid forward - someone who can play all 3 positions 8 players - just about right (7 with Murphy)

Burn goes - great servant Schar stays as 4th choice (also have Krafth) We buy 1 starting CB and another who provides genuine competition A bit like buying Guehi then taking a punt on a Huijsen (last summer)

For me, the following are all surplus to requirement Pope - Trippier - Schar - Burn - Targett - Longstaff - Willock -,Wilson - Murphy Thats the scale of the job

A fair summery this squad needs a rebuild

Yeah Bischof plays in Germany for Hoffenheim Actually wondered what the pre contract rule was in other counties (ie only foreign teams can approach) bit of a nonsense rule

Osula stays as 3rd choice striker and RW option - up to him to forge a career at NUFC - nothing should be handed to him Essentially we need 6 CMs - 4 of them should be Sandro - Bruno - Miley - plus 1 (replacement for Longstaff) - then Big Joe plus 1 (this is currently Willock, although I am losing patience with him)

Oh ffs - bloody Bayern

I am sure Man City had their Etihad renewal awaiting to be approved for 18 months ….??

Forget Angel Gomes - the best free transfer for us is Tom Bischof from Hoffenheim - literally the Howe prototype

Then on top of that you need to build a skeleton squad - CB, LB, CM, CF effectively replacing Lascelles - Targett - Longstaff - Wilson with better quality See how Alex Murphy gets on - could be added to 25/26 Summer 25 is the rebuild summer - no pissing about this time

How are Juve going to sign all these players? Kolo Muani - Conceicao - Nico Gonzalez - L Kelly - R Veiga - Di Gregorio Think they are all on loan If they want to send D Luiz our way they are more than welcome

What really gets to me is that there was ZERO effort and application from the players - can’t recall an occasion I have said this under Howe - if it’s a bad day at the office, fine, it happens - but yesterday they didn’t even try - all XI - that’s what hurts me the most

“We looked fatigued today, not our usual selves, very difficult to explain right now , we’ll have to go back and analyse it”

Our lot just walking around - no fight, nothing Have some self pride at least

Where’s the fight? You bunch of soft bastards

3 of the most softest goals ever Our lads have had a 9 day test from when we played Arsenal

Best way is to make it an unstructured game - make them run - man mark - then use our pace and power to hurt them

Shilton was about 80 at the time Remember the Brehme free kick for 1-0 - he was like treading in treacle

Should have set him up with 5 a side nets to make it fair

They may for once have found some balance - a real threat this year

Suprised this is still a story in Feb - happened Last Christmas

Ayoze in a modern NUFC under Howe would be brilliant

I just think with Longstaff the ceiling has already been reached - great servant, great bloke - sometimes a change can benefit, plus he’s at a stage where he should be playing week in week out for someone CM is an area I highlighted that we need someone to supplement the quality of Tonali and Bruno
