I’d argue he’s not as good as ASM, but especially just behind the striker, Lingard is better than anyone we can currently field.

There’s zero chance Tchouameni goes to us man

Times saying we’re looking at Brozovic and De Vrij. Yes fucking please.

Seemingly so. In discussions now apparently.

It’ll be purposefully Saudi green.

I’m hearing it’s the original Saudia Airlines. Also (big pinch of salt, as I have no idea how they would know this) but the away/ 3rd kit will be Green.

According to sources in the Saudia company; there will be an upcoming deal for shirt sponsorship with Saudia Airlines. Could be nonsense but it comes from an a very high-ranking Saudia Co. official. We’ll see…

Need, bare minimum, 6 points from Brentford, Norwich and Burnley tbh. Shitting it if I’m honest.

Still holding out hope that we’ll get Rangnick tbh.

Qiddiya is obviously a “related party”though, so not sure how that gets approved under the Cartel’s proposed new rule changes?

He’ll be trying to get his philosophy across so I doubt he’ll start anyone that he hasn’t trained with extensively. I bet he’s gutted he didn’t have time to work with Lewis, Schar and Almiron as I think they are players that he could make the most difference with.

Would have taken Dean here (not necessarily over Howe, mind), very solid manager and great appointment by Norwich.

Would be funny to see him take them down.

I’d prefer a few of the other names over Emenalo, but to be honest he’s someone we couldn’t have dreamed of employing under our previous owner. In saying that, if he’s available, we should be doing everything we can to get Edwards in.

It’s getting ridiculous now. Shocking anti-competitive behaviour borne out of spite, jealousy and attempting to maintain the bent status quo. Potentially having lucrative sponsorship opportunities taken away from us is the exact kind of ladder-pulling bullshit that’s putting people off the Premier League. Closed shop nonsense.

I understand. Just a hypothetical though.

If reports are correct and we have 50 million to spend in the window. How would you lot spend it?

Yeah, very unrealistic; you’d imagine if he were to leave it would be to another Champions League team.

yeah, not bad.

Lerma’s decent.

Can see Howe persevering with Joelinton in the Josh King role. Hopefully with a real manager coaching him we can begin to see why our scouts were so hot on him.

Happy with either Edwards or Emenalo.

Gallagher, Abraham, Lamptey/Aarons, Tarkowski, Diaz and Kamara would be amazing. Wouldn’t cost much over 250 million either I’d imagine.

I don’t think he’s high profile/good enough to be making demands with regards to a technical director tbh. He can, by all means try, but I doubt he’d be daft enough to let that be a deal-breaker. This is quite a decent opportunity for him to pass up.
