Given their recent signings I would say this amounts to a vote of no confidence

Yep - bar Bruno - we don’t have one - no point in getting Phillips as he can only play the 6 (can cover CB) too - Best buy someone who plays as a 6 and 8 is quality in both positions

I don’t want either tbh Phillips is a bit similar in style to Tonali - I want a 6 who can play is all 3 roles but can specialise as a 6 if needed (ie Bruno injury or rest) - Tonali can do this but I want someone more physical - to me that’s Yousuf Fofana as I mentioned before Don’t want a left footed CB - so no to Lloyd Kelly - a Leny Yoro type seems the most perfect fit

Yoro Fofana Bakayoko/Olise Zirkee and we are cooking

According to Wor Garth Crooks in his team of the week he can strike a ball cleanly with his weaker right foot

Both Barca and Napoli have been really bad this season - Barca especially given their talent

Wow Arsenal have had such an easy passage (and Man City)

Can play all 3 midfield positions - great passer - physical beast - can score goals - 24 years old (Y Fofana)

There is one midfielder out there who is perfect for us - Yousuf Fofana - ticks every single box in what we are looking for

I think it may have been a personal choice on his behalf - to go away - be the main man and work for a very good coach

Not at the moment - would love to see him drive forward with the ball - however game by game we seem to be seeing something different from him - it’s very very exciting

You can’t get rid of this guy - he offers so much - allows us to play Tino as LB and offers good all round cover if anyone leaves it’s Matt Targett

Yeah he has - zero chance I’d be surprised if we haven’t taken a look at Johan Bakayoko

Possibly back for Liverpool I reckon

Maybe it’s a PL league rule whereby if a player returns from injury another must be sacrificed? Thought it was a bit weird that Burn - Longstaff and Wilson returned and we didn’t nominate 3 players to get injured

What a great squad player

We overplayed Schar he should never have played today

He was gone after 40mims

Schar has been overplayed sadly so there is no surprise he’s injured or majorly fatigued Time for the Geordie Maldini

He isn’t totally one footed tbh - has 3 assists with his right foot - your typical left footed player who loves a finesse curl into the far corner In addition to what’s been quoted his crossing is better than Miggy - tends to cut in and whip the ball - good ability to play through balls He is very raw - the season on loan and European football will do wonders for him - we are very lucky we got him on loan to such a good club He alone isn’t an answer to our RW - but I’d be shocked if him an another RW aren’t in our squad next season

How the hell has he suffered a setback??? Just like Willock - WTF is going on Added to this they bought Murphy back early - amateur hour

I honestly don’t think we are far away - these next 2 windows should be used to propel us - make 2 XI worthy signings - 2 good squad signings and we are cooking

This is Brighton’s feeder club so I don’t think we are getting him

He should in theory mature in the next 2/3 years to be able to play all 3 roles - 6 - 8 and in a 2 - I see him as an all round midfielder
