Grealish would be a poor signing as I don't think he has the motivation (assumption from a far) It at best offers a short term fix assuming a locks in fully but from a human element, it's a tall ask to ask a 30 yo multi millionaire to take a 'step down' and also expect him to put in the hard graft necessary to succeed. If the price is right, sure but would rather a 22-25 talent on the rise. We also already have 2 LWs so unless we're looking to play him in the middle it doesn't address any immediate squad concerns

They're both extremely versatile. Timber played CB at Ajax as well and has played LB for Arsenal. James across the line and in midfield (player of the season as a CM on loan at Wigan as a teen, also has CM stints in the Prem with Chelsea).

Purely defensively, Timber & Reece are both ahead. Rate Tino highly and hope they rebuff all offers

I'd rather the hottest u25 in the Champ, or better yet give Osula some burn.

Jesus Christ

His ego relative to his talent (or lack of) is astounding.

3 < 5

Mainoo and Diallo >>>>

There haven't been 5 MFs let alone players that have gone for £100m+ in the last few years

That's sweet and sentimental but not grounded in reality I love Bruno as much as the next man but everyone has a price, 120m (reinvested) would placate any angst from that hypothetical sale

Barnes needs to stay, the other 4 would be great to off the books (personally have no issue with Pope as thestarting keeper, and Bruno at that price w his age is a no brainer in the FFP era)

yet still miles better than who ever his backup will be

They are missing both Maddison and Kulu. It's yours to lose.

That Jan window in its entirety was incredible. Every single one (bar Woods) over performed even on the most optimistic expectations

Under 70% as a professional top level CB seems unfathomable to me. Top (Bottom) 3 are very surprising to see.

Guehi addresses an immediate need. The other two are cold as well and I'd happily welcome them but an athletic & experienced CB is essential imo (alongside a RWer)

This is childish and petty. They are 16th/17th, winning the UEFA cup wouldn't overshadow our season, where we've won a trophy and could potentially have a 2nd place finish. The UEFA cup win is a nice cherry on shit show of a cake. More so for Man U. Palace over City for obvious reasons, you'd expect Newcastle fans to be able to empathise with their position.

Rather Spurs, Man U could be in real terminal decline without CL money and status. They'd be able to fire their fraudulent manager and potentially get things sorted top down.

He's 19, not everyone is going to be Cesc or even Jude to a lesser extent. It's extremely hard to be ready as a CM at that age. He clearly has talent, needs time to develop. More playing time/loan out (feeder club pls) would help massively.

nil chance, Villa are in. We just have to handle business, all in our hands.

Good result all things considered, just gotta handle Chelsea at home

yes, 100% The DCL champions will say no though

Mbuemo is the only one for me, would be overly content with either

Much more athletic otherwise less talented (technique/finishing/game sense)

This is sad if true, that league used to boast the likes of R9, Crespo, Shevchenko, Seedorf, Adriano to name but a few. What a tragic falloff.
