I think if they can get someone who adds more firepower in this window and the fee is realistic and attainable they’ll go for it. Young right back likely too. Shelveys injury might make them have a think about misfield too.

He’s just so much better than Dubravka

I can’t wait to go there

Fucking lethal this guy. Can’t wait til Isak or ASM (fully fit) on other side

?

Footballers can get viruses too you know ? No way we’ll get shot of him man

For some frustration lends itself to mindless insults of players ?‍♂️

?

Shelvey another extremely injury prone player sadly

Yes why don’t we wait until the reason is confirmed before jumping to conclusions

Its plain common sense from a properly run football club vs the car crash we’ve seen from knackers here in the past. I work as a physio and while I don’t work in football or even elite sports I can imagine how difficult and challenging it is to get someone back to that level after several months out. I think we’ll see him fairly soon all being well.

I think a draw is fine to be honest particularly as it’s the first game back.

Also Isak has played so little he will almost be like a nee squad addition. Throw in Saints absence for months and if you get them back regularly we have far more options in the final 3rd.

It would be a shame if we didn’t bring in at least 1 first team starter but I think bringing two in is hampered by FFP. Even one player in the 40-50m might run us close. I’d imagine it might be one potential starter and then 1 or 2 more but like Harrison Ashby type players. I might also be talking complete bollocks ?

We won’t know for certain but from what Howe said he’s running and kicking a ball but that isn’t full training with the squad. You’d imagine if he gets a couple of weeks or so full training with the squad then he’ll be involved which is why The Shef Wed game or Fulham seems more likely.

If that was to start happening you’d probably see Howe walk. Not a chance he’d want Ronaldo anywhere near the squad, he’s a social hand grenade ffs

Exactly which is why we get his return exactly right. I don’t think we’ll bring in a striker this window so it’s imperative we get Isak back fit. It’s exciting that we’ll be able to add him to the mix fairly soon even if it’s a role off the bench initially.

Thigh muscle injury which he re injured and therefore why they’re being extra cautious. Howe says he’s back running and kicking a ball so he’s probably close to full training and they’ll probably want a couple of weeks of that. I think he might return in some capacity for FA cup match and then hopefully Fulham home which is 3 weeks away. Id rather they were extra cautious and not bring him back too early. Must’ve been really difficult for the lad so the fans will be really important when he returns.

Would be a bit suss if he’s not involved at all

This draw will be really interesting for us, one game away from semi-final ?

Haha class cheers

Can someone remind me of his song lyrics other than the initial “Gimme gimme a striker from Sweden” ? Was telling my friend from Sweden about it but couldn’t remember all the lyrics

I wonder if he might start v Leeds allowing Wilson to start v Leicester and Arsenal.

Yeah you can see how useful he can be at home against teams playing with a low block and he can also pull something out of his arse to win any game. Consistency, staying fit and as you’ve pointed out above whether he can truly adapt to how Howe wants us to play with the press is key. I personally think we’ll bring players in who fit the Howe mould more and I think ASM could well be off next summer but I’m intrigued to see what happens from now til the end of the season. Isak could be fly in the ointment for ASM.

Aye would be a great signing, can play as a winger or striker through the middle.
