The only proper LB we have is Targett and he can’t play/needs to go. Dummett is leaving. Burn is a CB converted to LB, and his days at LB are numbered IMO. Hall is a CM in the process of being converted to LB, and it’s going to take time. Livramento is a RB that’s talented enough to do a job wherever. Kelly gives us versatility and another player that can do a good job there until Hall is ready to be a nailed on starter.

Arsenal barely turned up and still won with no problems. Awful lifeless game.

For the amount Ramsdale would cost you could get one of the next big things in Europe.

I’m very opposed to taking castoffs from the big 6 unless they’re potentially the next Salah/De Bruyne.

If they delay a year then Southgate will probably sign another contract with the FA. Best to get it done this summer IMHO.

Jonny Evans looking like Tony Adams at Granada.

Negotiating a contract with Boehly is a dream for most footballers. He’s the biggest mug in the sport.

I have wondered if teams are petty enough to do that. Because I would definitely respond by enquiring about Saka or Odegaard.

The fees being talked about give me confidence it’s all just big 6 fan service. Looking at the price other players have been going for, I see no chance of anyone getting him for under £120m. Plus it’s only Arsenal, there are clubs out there that would concern me more.

Is it really that shocking that a football club is less orderly than a chemicals company? Every time I see anything from this guy there’s hints that he’s a bit thick.

Only place I’ve seen the £6m was that Twitter account claiming to be ITK. Same one that had Gordon injured for 9 months.

To the media the league is 6 clubs and then one massive Tesco’s filling every other position. Maybe they’ll get the message when he’s still here in September.

It’ll probably be Lloyd Kelly to cover CB/LB.

Rashford looks like an odd player these days. If the effort was there but it just wasn’t working for him, I’d say a move to a different team could turn things around. But he plays like some office worker that has quiet quit. After hearing about Dele Ali’s problems I wonder if there’s something deeper going on with him.

How is that not a pen? That’s madness.

Salah looks like his legs are going IMO, I doubt you get a strong full season out of him again. He’s ruined fantasy football for me.

He’ll just be a spoke in Ashworth’s wheel. Imagine a wheel with loads of spokes and no middle bit. That’s what you have.

Without Ashworth there to facilitate, those guys will be out of control and directionless.

Weird if they really only offered £2m. I assume Rattledcliffe wants to show everyone he’s a tough negotiator, and an opening bid is expected to be low, but if they do want him then they’ll have to at least quadruple that bid, which would make him look like a shit negotiator.

Some questionable sources in this thread.

He even has a fake son to try and appear like a reasonable human being. What a charade.

Why would a journalist repeat a story from 90min? It’s like believing what you read on tribalfootball.

It sounds like Jim Rattledcliffe would be in favour of us building option C.

So they played like Man U?

If their jamminess keeps Ten Haag in the job then I’ll take it. Man City will beat them in 2nd gear in the final.
