Deuce

Are there any league-imposed restrictions on funding for the academy/youth development?

Just up and sold our whole squad to Arsenal

A single, slightly more technical winger also isn’t going to magically unlock defenses that sit deep against us. We’re not signing peak De Bruyne.

“low block” Bring back “park the bus”

That’d be good business for the Mackems

Howay, Pep. Buy the club.

“This chart confirms all my priors” - everyone

Best CB we’ve had?

They have been short on wingers

Sold?

The reaction has been a little ridiculous tbh

Think it has more to do with 1) him playing for Forest and 2) none of the clubs many consider to be our equals seem to be after him, therefore making him an inferior player.

…for FOREST

I’ve never wanted a signing more

hhhrrrnngg

but if we asked nicely?

Also very possible that it won’t actually take £50m to get him

Isak goes down injured and we trot out DCL Wilson Gordon Elanga

He is Swedish

Willock + £50m for Elanga and Anderson i want our baby boy back which I realize is essentially just us trying to to convince them to take Willock for Anderson in a straight swap

Another positive factor is the Swedish connection. Aren’t he and Isak mates? Would help with the transition.

If the choice is between a technical player and a physical specimen, Howe is going to opt for the latter. Players that check both boxes are rare and $$$
