Plenty tickets available still (though hard to tell how many in each section obviously), I got one in the Strawberry corner.

Nice one

8821 in the queue, nee chance ?

Yeah it’s a total non-starter imo, the social hand grenade and narcisim aspects aside he wants champions league. it would certainly be one way to force Howe out if PIF started insisting on certain signings. The boat doesn’t need to be rocked, let’s continue with the current plan please.

Blimey it’s 4 per person allowed, I doubt many can be left over. Will have a gander at 10am though.

I think this Jan definitely some more attacking depth maybe a winger and/or a Maddison type signing. Could also see a back up right back option come in if a target comes available. Summer a new right sided CB, new attacking left back, new young striker as Wood will probably go and possibly new defensive midfielder. I guess any areas that aren’t addressed or filled in Jan.

Bringing Ronaldo in would be akin to lobbing a social hand grenade into the dressing room. Fuck that.

I’ll try and get a ticket tomorrow morning when it opens for members. Has anyone seen the stadium availability map, are there many seats left? I would imagine more season tickets holders will go.

I agree would be a very good signing, versatile too. He signed a new contract didn’t he but that’s presumably just to hike up his transfer fee as I doubt even Watford imagine he’ll be there that much longer.

I don’t see how that can happen because if we are to think we’ll be involved in the champions league in the coming seasons you can’t own two clubs who compete against each other in the champs league (as far as I’m aware)

You just wonder, 6 months less on his contract, chance of us getting top four….Be a real statement signing. More teams are going to sit against us at home and someone like Maddison to combine with Bruno to open teams up.

To be honest if that type of thing started happening (unlikely) I doubt Howe would be there that long. There’s a difference between PIF signing decisions off and then actively wanting certain players to be signed.

It’s not going to happen ffs ? (thankfully)

It’ll be very interesting to see what happens next summer. I hope he cements his position in the team and squad but equally wouldn’t be that surprised if he left and was replaced.

Such an important player for us. Can imagine he’s brilliant around the training ground and in the dressing room. Plus it must give other players confidence going out onto the pitch with that warrior on your side.

I think we might be priced out if the likes of City do go in for him but he’d be an excellent signing if we can get him. I think it’s more likely he moves next summer.

Mental isn’t it and just highlights what a complete knacker Bruce was. With Schar and Botman at the back the composure on the ball is just immense. Same goes I guess for Trippier and Burn. The way Botman and Schar spray balls and deliver quick incisive passing from the back is great to watch and amazingly effective for our play.

Left wing/forward, kind of player that makes sense position wise but hard to know any truth in the story. Isak gives us a legitimate alternative option across the front 3 which will force ASM to up his game (and Miggy to maintain his). Can still see us adding some firepower if the right deal is there to be had just might be someone leftfield.

What’s the punishment for this if found guilty? I mean over 200 ffs?

Im sure I heard a Spanish football reporter who’d been interviewed saying he’s flexible and can play across the front 3. Either way he’s in good hands with Howe coaching wise and we’ll get the best out of him. He gives us so many options. Bring Wilson off at 70 and move him inside if he starts right or left or bring him on off the bench. He’ll be great away from home with his lace too. The thing is if Miggy keeps playing the way he is and Isak starts smashing it ASM is going to have to work hard to get back into this side which is what you want. It’s ridiculous but he will be like a new signing ?

I know what you mean but I think he’s pretty adaptable position wise even if he’s different to what we already have. I think he’d be a tremendous signing and Howe would be able to coach him massively to our style too and he’d give us that player to really open teams up at home too.

Agree with this and it’s ironic that our right side is now our strongest at present. Let’s see how he does when fit and with more space to opposite but if he struggles rest of the season I can see us signing a legitimate alternative (maybe Isak is that already) and I’m not sure how ASM responds to that.

I agree I think we need some more firepower to open teams up and creativity to take the pressure off Bruno and give more bench impact. I agree with people about a RB coming in who can cover for Trippier at least til end of the season though I’d say left back is more pressing (but will likely be addressed in summer).

Some prick behind me in the Gallowgate hurling abuse at him. Got told to shut by a few, moron.

I would hazard a guess that they are managing his injury and involvement with the squad expertly.
