Mikky

Was in the training video yesterday with the team - I think you are looking at October for him

pings the ball about in a similar fashion

Andersen is as close to Schar as you are going to get

5 players was the noise coming out at season end We have 2 - Tino and Sandro (Barnes <> Maxi)

I wonder if Harwood-Bellis is in the equation or do we go a level higher than him?

All the more reason to get one then - gives us so much flexibility

I think we will be a midfielder light personally - a number 6 type - I know Miley is there but just to take the burden off him and Bruno

Good move for him - needs some first team football - Swansea is as decent as you are going to get

Need to stop with this nonsense of Livramento and Trippier potentially playing left back - both are right backs - end of

Marco Van James

Who is this annoying woman on comms?

I think Miggy and Wilson will be sold next Murphy might hang around for a few years still

Can’t see it - he’s about 2 years from being in his prime still

£6m was the rumour to Bournemouth - how true that was I have no idea

Wonder how much he goes for?

Hence you go for Lewis Hall now as an opportunistic buy - then next season upgrade Targett with the knowledge that you’ve essentially upgraded both Targett and Burn for the long term in the space of 12 months

This Mbappe thing - say Saudis actually buy him - could there be a behind the scenes deal with Qatar - you buy Mbappe - we’ll buy the TV rights for the Saudi league?

Same as every other season

i don’t think minutes will be an issue - it’s better to be in this environment than being loaned imo - you learn a hell of a lot more at the club than you would do elsewhere - the only time this is any different is if you are here in the Ashley era and have Bruce and his poor coaching staff working with you on a 5-4-1 system

Livramento - Hall - Miley - Anderson - Botman - Tonali - Isak - Gordon That covers you for almost a decade

It’s a really interesting one this - all the talk season end was 5 (coming from the press briefings at the time) - we have signed 1 (Barnes and Maxi cancel each other out imo) Livramento and Hall I would take in a heartbeat Then a CB and RCM/RWF if ever such a player can be sought

If he’s progressing at this pace then I don’t think we are loaning him at all - just depends on how we recruit I suppose Nice to finally have some youth team players break through - him and Elliott look really talented

Unless the loan can guarantee him significant playing time at a club playing the right football then there’s no point - think for his development it’s best to keep him and let him work under the coaches and players

Not a bad option I suppose - added benefit of opening up Asian market

Probably due to his limited ability to play the ball out?
