Yeah that makes sense actually. We’ll get someone on loan or a direct replacement. You’d think Leicester might be open to selling Tielemans as could leave on a free in the summer.

I still think we’ll have someone come in to replace him

Joelinton is far better in the middle, Gordon’s arrival hopefully means we see more of that.

Yeah big clubs adapt to teams and situations and rotate players when needed.

Get in!!!!

How to god we beat Liverpool in a few weeks ffs

Only saying what the commentator said ?‍♂️

Only inside the box

Lucky cunts as always

No way Ritchie is here beyond summer. He has a few years of playing time left and will want to play. Makes perfect sense for Lascelles to leave too. He’s just not going to get game time now and we’ll almost certainly bring in a young right sided CB in the summer. We need to clear the decks and free up wage space.

Sounds like a project signing and there’s few better to work under than Trippier. The scouts and Howe must’ve seen a lot of potential in him.

Sounds like a solid signing not that I know much about him.

You’re probably right, there’s a stronger argument for Isak starting out of anyone though. Isak will deserve his chance eventually and that might be against Saints or West Ham.

Think Isak might start but rest of the team same as 1st leg. There’s an argument both ASM and Isak should start really but I think Howe will play it more cautious banking on us finishing chances this time.

Agree with that. If anything it forces players to raise their game to keep their place. I can see him coming in as a regular starter too. He’s better than Miggy at taking on players in a low block, can go left or right, more trickery.

I heard on a podcast that he plays more on the right? I thought he was left sided more?

Yeah I don’t read the athletic for breaking transfer stories. Waugh/Caulkins in depth pieces are quality imo.

He’ll make a huge difference second half of the season. Players will obvious fatigue more and bringing him off the bench vs Murphy is obviously a huge step up in quality and intensity. Also means we can rotate more and give opposition a different look with our front 3.

Thought he drove a Range Rover.

Gordon gives us much more depth and considering how much work our players are required to do you need quality to bring off the bench to maintain intensity. He’ll also push Miggy and others to maintain form and enable Howe to rotate players more to avoid fatigue. He’ll flourish under Howe’s coaching imo.

Yeah that’s a ridiculous comparison, Colback ffs ?

Be very surprised if Maddison happens but last few days could be interesting.

Clubs like Liverpool have a whole array of forwards. We play a high pressing game and will likely be fighting on 4 fronts next season. We need depth and competition for places and improving potential. Gordon ticks all those boxes. Edit, ASM still has a massive role to play too.

I think we’ll sign Gordon then another winger/forward in the summer.

Exactly this, no chance 55m. 40-45 max
