My only issue was the Ben Arfa treatment Plus the playing small plus the constant advertising of players for sale plus the streaky form plus the ‘king’ stuff and constantly bigging himself up plus the Southampton brainy kids thing That’s all plus the crappy football aside from the 5th season plus complaining about Europe still agree he’s better than Bruce though

They’ll probably have gone through three managers in the time it takes for gardening leave to expire

Imagine Osimhen as number 9 then Isak behind as number 10 then Barnes finishing on LF and Gordon on RF then Wilson and Almiron to bring on as sub. Now that is good

Warren Zaire Emery is also 17 and has a massive load of hype attached to him. He is also good, was impressed by him in the first leg. Could Miley be on the same level? Genuine wonderkid if so.

We could do a Man City and win 16 games in a row or something, if the run-in really is as simple compared to the tough games we've already played, especially if it coincides with all the players coming back. Sneaky title challenge?

Bring Hall back to start

This is like when Liverpool got Andy Robertson from relegated Hull.

Carrick Mk II

Should just Ronaldo for the FFP benefits and commercial income

In bbc gossip there are two good strikers available that are gettable and wouldn’t break the bank. Mehdi Terimi linked with Man U, and Guirassy linked with Spurs. Both 15m or less. Very good goalscorers and good cover.

Forest and Olympiakos are affiliated and have done lots of transfers between them the past few windows. They’d vote against it too.

Sorry yes that’s what I meant

I always thought this could be similar to our 1997 CL run, what followed the highlight Barca 3-2 result was two losses against unfancidd Dynamo Kiev. Borussia are the equivalent.

Goes to show the depth is decent - 9 first team players out injured and yet still a decent top half side - anyone would miss 9 first teamers - particularly key players like Botman, Tonali, Burn and Isak Pope, Dubravka, Karius, Gillespie Trippier, Livramento, Krafth Lascelles, Schar, Dummett, (Krafth) Hall, (Dummett, Trippier, Ritchie) Bruno, Longstaff, Joelinton, Willock, Miley Almiron, Gordon, Ritchie (Joelinton) Wilson (Gordon)

55m 12m 12m 15m 34m 38m 63m Some of our most expensive signings on that list - over 200m worth of players

Any of these worth a punt until end of the season? https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/statistik/vertragslosespieler

That is 4D chess Veiga and Milencevic-Savic please

lol yes I did I did think someone was missing but couldn’t remember who

Put Joelinton up top. He's still a physical nuisance presence and has got experience. He's also played less football than Gordon and others. Bring Gordon and Wilson on as subs if need be after 70 mins. Manquillo can also come in for Lascelles if he needs a rest and Krafth can go into the middle. Dubravka Krafth Lascelles Dummett Targett Longstaff Hall Almiron Willock Ritchie Joelinton

Recall Kuol to cover the Murphy/Barnes injuries Keep Minteh on loan as he is doing well and at a bigger club

It kind of feels like a repeat of 1994/5 had an amazing 93/94 where we caught everyone by surprised and finished 3rd. Then dropped off the next season finishing 6th while selling Cole even though had a positive start. but then a great summer build in 1995/6 saw us compete for the title. Can see us struggling to manage the games this season due to injuries and slightly dropping off. but with Tonali back and a great summer spend in a starting RW, RCB, ST and CDM to go for a title push next year.

4-2-3-1 for the next few weeks as we navigate out of this injury crisis Bruno and Longstaff as the two The three being a mixture of: Almiron (RW or 10), Willock (LW or 10), Gordon (LW, RW, 10, CF), Joelinton (LW, RW, CF in emergencies), Anderson (10, LW), Hall (LW), Livramento (RW) (with Longstaff (10), if Miley drops into the two) Wilson and Gordon can rotate up top.

Can see this guy slotting into midfield to cover in the upcoming games

Why is Fagioli only 7 months and Tonali 10 months? Wasn't Fagioli the main perpertrator in the first place? Also the hypocritical nature of all of this - it's okay to take tens of millions in sponsorships from betting companies but if one of the players indulge in their sponsors products then hell hath no fury Imagine if they had this type of furore every time a player had a can of Budweiser

I was slightly too young to remember but would you say Sean is more like a Lee Clark type of player or a Rob Lee type of player? Could he become a Rob Lee type.
