True but that's kinda the point, they might be able squeeze 18m or whatever out of somewhere but they ain't gonna sign Osimhen or whoever.

Btw Arsenal would be very foolish to turn Wilson down at that price, if they signed him and managed his playing time properly he could very well be the difference in a title race in that team. All they need is a goalscorer really.

So your position is that an ownership group that has done little else but caution about psr rules from the moment they walked in, have got themselves in a situation where they've fucked it and do not comply to the one thing they've been talking about incessantly despite hiring some of the best front office people in football and having the resources of pif behind them? I mean ok sure, that's something alright.

I mean "one twos" is a massive oversimplification, intentionally. What you're talking about in tactical terms is creating overloads or getting players into critical areas of space and having the ability to exploit them. So yeah, fucking all of them actually.

Our entire offence is built on one twos and getting into space between/behind FB and CB. Barnes is Mig for the left. Can people not see this?

he's fkn mint

pound for pound he's about the best CB in the league imo, considering what he cost and the level he's playing at love him, the good looking cnt

"Nothing but" maybe a bit strong but that's how you're playing against better teams like, no point trying to deny it.

Yesterday should be a major warning for Howe and the coaches. Manyoo are nothing but a counter attacking team again as they were under Solksjaer, but with Rashford in this form they're very good at it indeed. I think they'll be looking to exploit our press and go over/between the two CBs at every opportunity. We need to plan for that somehow.

fuck sake i've just ordered this for £45

shame for them that

imo the talk of "replacing wood" is bullshit, we basically need someone to do what Odegaard does for Arsenal that high up the pitch - now whether that's Bruno and someone taking the 6 spot or bringing in a Maddison or whatever, that's what's needed imo howe's got options up front and wide sitting on the bench and without using them we're actually creating from the channels, the problem is we've no threat through the middle anymore; fix that and it opens the channels back up as well

Yes I'm taking the piss a bit but I think this is it. What does Wood give you up front that JL doesn't? Fuck all, in fact less in my opinion as JL physically more capable. That's why I think it's a midfielder coming in.

Maddison see. JL goes CF in a pinch if both go down. Goals from everywhere.

I've pivoted. Initial thoughts were Diaby, now think Maddison and we're shipping Wood out for wages. Based on absolutely fucking nothing.

No kidding. You apparently found the needle in a haystack of my shitposting lol

Thuram seems like a no brainer to me at the prices being talked about (he's out of contract right). Big fucker with pace, skill, and an eye for goal. That's if they're not willing to spend on a top target at this stage, there are surely options. Guess maybe he's holding out to go free and get big monies.

fingers crossed

I think it's a mistake not signing 1-2 or 2-3 to push for CL spots this season personally, you can't guarantee we'll be as good next season nor that clubs like Chelsea & Liverpool will be as inconsistent.

Class! I thought they were very good quality, just the issue with the one sponsor that came came off the home shirt but I'm actually happy about that. Good to hear.

i suppose in hindsight i should have pointed out i had no frame of reference for the quality, looked ok to me but never sat it beside an original nor have i even looked at an original in a shop 1000 apologies

if that's the shape of things to come he's legit af - the one that was disallowed was gorgeous, sent one mf sliding into another dimension and skinned another cool as ice

i fucking hate it, starting work on a sunday morning is devastating and being off on a bastard friday is shit

ah i'm on a middle east schedule, so Monday is effectively Tuesday for me - my brain can't comprehend it properly
