Not sure I agree Tonali season Big Joe 2/3rds Willock - 2/3rds Botman - 3 months Barnes - 5 months Pope - 4 months Targett - 5 months Anderson - 4 months Isak/Wilson - every other week Gordon - 6 months it’s been relentless

There is zero leadership out there - we are so soft

Can Joe White not take Longstaffs home grown place next season?

Yeah - I have been saying we are a top midfielder short for a while and that’s even with Joe and Tonali sidelined We need a LB and CB with pace and power - too soft

Needs to grow a pair and drop some of these donkeys

That same gaping hole between midfield and defense - week in week out

Disgraceful defending

I would say zilch considering PSGs antics

And we potentially have a whole host of players to come off the bill in the summer

Yeah recruitment was a tad patchy tbh - they had a canny crop of Italians but I struggle to think of any big signings they made And yes all transfers seemed Jose driven.

No what I am saying is that we are playing Miggy in a position that he’s not a natural in - think before coming here he’d always been a 10? You can tell by the way he plays he isn’t a natural - that’s not say if we play him 10 he’d set the world on fire as he has a ceiling which we are probably maximizing hence the need to significantly upgrade him in the summer

Benfica have to sell - it’s their way of making their “TV” money - cant survive otherwise

He is but Olise is a more natural winger - Miggy isn’t - he’s probs more of a 10 hence why his output (Miggy) isn’t as high as it should be

Ederson is better - fits every single element of the midfielder we need

Put the celebration off until Ederson arrives and Big Joe is back

Putting him in a high intensity team isn’t going to do his muscles any good my number 1 choice is Kubo

In my view we have to replace Miggy and Wilson in the summer - so a RW and CF signing a paramount. What’s the most we could get? 35m? So say we buy a J David for 30m (will be entering his final year) most likely we could spend 40m on a RW Key to the summer window is selling Longstaff imo - will open up everything for us

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
