Mikky

Hence the need to act - he really is quite impressive - physical and quick, plus good on the ball

Plus Scalvini can give you an option as 6 I’m still all in on Ederson though as the Longstaff replacement

For me we need 2CBs regardless of L Kelly who I see more of an alternative LB option Murillo from Notts Forest as left sided option Maybe someone like Simakan (Leipzig) as the right sided option My personal preference is Scalvini

I’m convinced we would have been in the market for a CB regardless of Botmans injury

I think we were going to buy a CB in the summer anyway (as well as L Kelly)

We can replace him with Joe White as the homegrown talent? The midfield needs rebuilding - we will get Tonali and Big Joe back but we need another addition to solidify it - Ederson been linked for a while - that’s the profile we need - someone who plays all 3 midfield roles (I have seen him play loads as can vouch for this) - gives us all the tactical felexibility we need, power, pace, passing, pressing - the 4Ps

Give him to end of season if we don’t finish in top 7 bin him

Was hoping P45 sent for print?

The blokes got no pain in his foot - he’s just shite, end of

Think you have counter that with the massive change is philosophy they had - gone from spending big to a focus on young talent and promotion from the academy - the remit was more youth based, something I don’t believe he had done before - more of a rounding of his skill set

Throw in the CL payments and the whole thing is corrupt - no point in competition

Don’t think you could do anything about Pope - Burn - Anderson - Murphy - Targett - Barnes - Tonali Did we get it right with Botman and Willock? Wilson and Isak were rushed and overplayed Big Joe rushed as well

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.

Sa Pinto

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
