They'll have it for a fucking steal right now. Paying miles under the actual value. They'll cling on to it for all they can for as long as they can, which knowing Ashley means a long time probably.

I don't know if you can sell to feeder clubs for inflated fees now. I think the new RPT rules also govern selling players.

Haidara would be a great signing and would probably be cheaper than Paqueta. I still think we won't sign a midfielder and we'll just go with the 5 we already have, maybe giving Hayden his squad space back (especially if Ekitike is our only striker, meaning Gayle's empty space could go elsewhere.)

Dubs > Foster and its not even close imo.

Against Chelsea we only had Bruno and Longstaff though, we couldn't play 433

I've gone for Ekkey-Tee-Kay in my mind and It'll take some effort to change that.

I can't see Howe going to 3 at the back. He didn't even go for it against Liverpool or Man City. He only did it against Chelsea when he had 1 striker and 2 CM's available. He moved us away from it as soon as he came in. I don't see the reasoning behind thinking he's just waiting to take us back to it.

Can't wait for Shearer to tell us we need to be getting crosses in to him on MOTD purely because he's tall.

I'd say going for someone broad is a gamble too. They might run in quicksand like Wood.

It'll all calm down once the signings and friendlies start. People just want their club to have an active summer for once after years of it being pointless.

3 signings with one of them being to get us back to where we were at the end of the season would be depressingly Ashleylike

Can or can't Jet fuel melt steel beams

I thought "Director" was just part of the title, he doesn't have to go through the Owners and Directors test, right?

It's just something written in Arabic on Twitter. One for the nonsense thread.

Home friendlies I hate the trend we established under Ashley of everything away apart from last friendly before the season. Would love more home games.

What was this fake tweet?

I wouldn't be surprised if we stick with the 5 we have already in midfield tbh

Have you tried playing Wesley in midfield?

Villa probably ahead of us in terms of squad you'd say. Really strong now.

Doesn't count, came here too late.

Which players are out there that count since we produce nowt? Mbabu the only one I can think of that would be any good.

Freddie Woodman counts too

Bye bye Chris Wood then

We could see if Krul fancied sitting on the bench for us if we wanted another trained at club in the squad.

Some others already doing deals. We don't have Ashworth or a CEO so we might be behind. It would be nice to not be one of the teams leaving it really late for once.
