who were you expecting?

Yeah exactly this, I’m not worried about its impact on making signings this window but we will need someone to oversee football specific operations moving forwards however that role is defined moving forwards.

😂

The way Pickford happily spreads the ball around you can see why we want to go down that route.

Douglas thought they’d go big on RW and R CB first and then see what they can do.

Poor wording from me 😂

240m, 60m x 4, sorry just to clarify

Totally agree, we don’t have anyone who can pull something out of their arsenal against a tight defence.

Luke Baldwards saying last night he’d been told/made aware (I know I know 😂) that we couldn’t spend 60m on 4 players. Make of that what you will. Douglas was sat next to him and didn’t saying anything I don’t rmemebr.

Yes I think he’ll go abroad personally and there was the assertion that we’d be less likely to sell to another premier league team to avoid strengthening them.

On Isak opinion was that next summer we and him will have a decision to make and he’ll be approaching the point of career where he may look to the continent for a tilt a league titles etc (and a massive contract) and if we want a few it’ll probably have to be then. I think he’s here likely one more season or two absolute max but that’s just my opinion.

Fair enough, I didn’t get that impression at all but each to their own. It was a discussion with people giving their opinion not saying categorically “this will happen”.

Yeah I think the consensus was they’d probably sell on balance if they get the right price. Bit of discussion about how he’s had one good season and it’s been with us and he needs to be reminded of that. already forced his way out of one club, needs to avoid pissing another group of fans off etc, not a young man anymore and approaching crucial point of his career.

No but then I wasn’t going expecting to find out who all our exact transfer targets were 😂 Was still an enjoyable discussion either way.

I went to The true faith thing last night, on transfers the consensus from the journos was: we are the perfect footballing choice for Delap but he’ll probably choose a fatter contract cash wise elsewhere (all 3 journos), Gordon the most likely to go of the big names, has pretty much checked out last summer and thought on the way to Liverpool plus pivotal season coming up (Edwards), Isak unlikely to sign a new contract unless it has a release clause - more likely to be sold to the continent when he does go (Bayern, PSG, Barca, Real etc) all journos. Will go big on two players and then see what they can do from there and trying to get someone in in first window early June where it’s meant to be very very busy for everyone (Douglas). Willock, Longstaff, Wilson all obviously likely to go. Pressure on Mitchel (all journos). Nothing groundbreaking but it was a good listen.
