Well sounded like that 🤣 I loved him as a player, just thought we were in desperate territory. Wouldn't mind seeing if Osula can play from there

He's 37 and barely played for 3 years. Doubt he would be better than Almiron or Murphy. We really need a young prospect to have as an option there. I guess if we sign Guehi and with Tonali back and our other players we are still a very strong team that will be too much for teams when in our stride so may be able to get away without a new RW given our other options.

I think it's 40% of whatever Peterborough get so they may get say 10% and we will get a few million from it ?

Not sure what's happened to our pressing game but not hunting in packs as much anymore. Did it for a bit yesterday but dropped off quickly and invited pressure on us. I guess good news that we haven't lost the first 2 so scraping by when playing shit but need to get back to being relentless in pressing. Barely attacked for large parts of yesterday's game and when we did get the ball back just kept giving it away with sloppy passes. Hopefully Tonali makes a difference and get at least 1 or 2 players in. Think we miss Botman and Schar at back as well as their passing range is immense compared to Krafu and Burn.

Agree with that, they are the only 2 that have that ability. To be a top team we are going to need a mix of technical and physical. Hoping Tonali comes good and we can get some players in this week. A couple of tricky/technical midfield or attacking players would help. If they don't come in we have to play Gordon and Barnes every game.

We have to find a way of moving the ball quicker, at times would get to one of our players and Bournemouth had time to reorganise. We move it far too slow. Also our technical ability is shocking, misplaced passes, no mobility, struggling to know what to do with the ball. Bournemouth moved the ball well and worked space much better

No energy, shit passing, can't keep ball for longer than 5 seconds. We look so far from a top 6 team right now

Drags us through games when needs to, passion to win, right man for the job and such a top professional

Man U still look like they will struggle against a team that gets at them, Fulham quite deep.

Not if we don't get a replacement for him. I would argue we need that defence to be strong even with injuries to succeed

No we don't, need to build the squad and team, if he helps us get champions league and keeps us right side of league then it pays for itself over time. We can't not pay for decent players just because of sell on alone. Need to look at total ROI. PSR important aspect but seems a worthwhile investment.

We don't need to make it back though, sell at right point and helps PSR surely, or you accept a player can elevate you and make money from being a better team

If we don't get him they will have a few other options, could see it being that Thiaw.

We need to improve and him and Longstaff same side meant we were useless compared to the left but his ability to press/chase back etc has been useful, we just need to improve that side to progress.

It's always time

Just get him on when we are 6-0 up against Southampton at half time.

Possibly if Barnes was consistently fit, as it was Murphy was safer option on Right as always available. Gordon is better on the left as can go outside or cut in but an option for right

Another way to look at it maybe if we don't get a RW is that Gordon can play there, Murphy good squad player, injury to Barnes and Hall/Isak/Joelinton/Willock can play left wing. Osula I think can play right and also have Sanusi coming through. There's a flexibility at the back of sign Guehi as can play a 3 there with Burn and Schar/Kelly. Kelly and Burn can play left back and have Livramento/Krafth/Murphy and Trippier that could play right.

I think it will get done by next weekend and likely a right winger on a loan to buy later this month, need to try and shift a couple players out. Would expect Dubrvka, Trippier at least to go.

Having him in defence along with Hall and Livramento let's us squeeze up to midfield more helping the press and pushing us further up the pitch as those 3 have good recovery pace and probably less worried about speed of attackers coming at us. We backed off quite a bit last season with the injuries and created too much space for teams.

Fine if they do, if we sign him im not having a meltdown over the cost

He looks like he would fit this team perfectly, can ping a ball as well. Not bothered if 65m, let the accountants worry about it. Strong defence enables those in front

I just paid for nufctv to watch it, on now

Anyone's stream not came on yet ?

We have generally bought very well last few years and have added a lot of quality. Still a bit to go but trust the transfers they make as maybe 1 miss with Wood but that was at a desperate time. Every other signing proving a hit, even Barnes, injury didn't help but you can see what he brings and style we play, he's a excellent player on form and will score fair few next season if stays fit. Dan Burn, excellent value for what he's offered last few years, no pace but fits in the team, leader at the club and pops up with odd goal. Need to shift Almiron and Longstaff out or keep as squad players and we are a pretty good shout for 4th-6th. If we get Guehi that's as good a back 4 as any outside Man City and built to press towards midfield.
