Agree with you both. Yes players can improve beyond 25/26 but i wouldn’t say massively. Which is why the fee is so high surely as we are paying for almost the finished article. He’s already playing full of confidence with well coached players being coached well currently. Murphy wasn’t but is now. If Howe had crossed paths with Murphy earlier in his career he’d be where he is at now 25/26. Doesn’t mean there is then a further level jump now in his 30’s. Not saying for the clubs with bigger revenue but for us paying £60m it’s for almost the finished article needing some refinement. That’s why i think there (must be?) smarter buys out there a lot cheaper.

Klopp was right… your fans are shite…

Is Wirtz all that? Only seen him a couple of times ( @joeyt disclaimer!) and thought he was ineffective for Levekusen and Germany. Clearly must be a talent. Thought Atalanta for example took him out the game easily.

I agree. Would be nice to see 60+ mins of Barnes LW and Gordon RW. I get thats harsh on Murphy. I just want to see it as we need to rotate at times and freshen things up occasionally. Especially when Isak isn’t playing like the last one.

The club need to build a walkway over the road connecting the ground to the Stack

That and pace.

Yep. Tonali makes it 0-3 and it’s probably a case of how many. However he missed. Man Utd adjusted the midfield and should’ve been 2-2 with 2 great chances/bad misses. 2nd half Man Utd were the better team and created more. Think hitting the post late on which if that goes in a draw was salvageable. That Tonali chance was pivotal. Should’ve buried it.

@M4

Heard we’ve played 4 times or thereabouts without Isak this season and our record not great?

Early heads up WorFlags would appreciate any volunteers to help Friday teatime onwards and Saturday morning onwards… let me know so I can register you 🙂👍🏻

I think you’ll be right. Hope not though as I think Gordon disappoints at CF. Would prefer Willock to stay central if not Osula.

Farcical

Would they not have with a draw?

Vardy scoring…

Aye didn’t realise he was 32!

Squad depth?

I didn’t say we’ll have to go for him. I hinted that Aston Villa will now need a 1st choice GK if it looks like Martinez is leaving and with us being at a similar trajectory as Villa and them having a Spanish manager and DOF it might not be as nailed on we are getting the Spanish lad after all and Trafford is possibly our next GK regardless of reports. I also said that if a player chooses a club over another based on one being in the UCL and another not but equally fighting for the same goals long term with bigger ambitions further down the line I’d be weary of signing that type of player. So maybe you do need to take a short break from here but not on my account.

Exactly. So I’d be wary of a player waiting to see where we finish in the league if that was the argument.

Do you reallly want a player/players signing for you based on that sole reason?

The plot thickens… Maybe we’ll end up with Trafford after all!

Have you rang the club?

Doesn’t matter if deal structured correctly apparently. Can buy in June and stick it into July. Just cant do vice versa.

Probably just as important to get the message out that we will be adding quality to benefit our purples rather than spend his time being asked which purples are leaving. Setting the tone for the club not to be bullied and land a few blows of our own. As I’ve said before this summer is phase 2 of the project.
