Tbh, if what they want is between €35m-€50m I'd just pay it. We're so desperate for defensive upgrades that that is what it's going to take to bring in top level replacements for our shite.

This would be a great signing and again would take pressure off of ASM being our only outlet and source of creativity and/or goals.

"Today they shout - 'go, go, go, take him on, take him on- you know you can fly - you go and you try. It's a pleasure to play in front of our supporters." When I think of Ben Arfa, I always think of that quote.

Posted it a few times now but the lack of midfielder links is alarming. Given the utter state of Longstaff the last time we played at Elland Road I don't understand why that's not been prioritised along with Carlos rather than another forward, as much as we need another forward.

Si por favor.

The Star and The Strawberry used to but I don't think they do anymore.

We still need another striker and Nunez would excite but a midfielder should be the priority here.

Too right.

The fact he's a shithouse makes this 10x better. More please, go get Ekitike and our shithousery will go up further.

Those 2 would literally transform this team.

We're absolutely massive Rich as fuck helps too.

Daft question but is asking to leave and handing in a transfer request the same thing?

2 goals in 12 appearances this season.

It's why we're desperate for at least a centre half and midfielder. The bulk of our players are at their alleged peak (albeit they've actually regressed) but they are still in the mentality of playing deep, low block, low possession football and as good a coach as Howe is you can't change that in players that are 27-30 who have been doing that for ~4 years. He needs his own players in to put his proper stamp on it or we're screwed due to the lack of alternatives.

Damning. It's not just his ability when he's 100% on it that helps us in games, but the opposition keep 1 or 2 men further back than usual to mark him and when he has the ball they double up or even triple up on him. That's also partly because they know the rest of our side is nigh on incapable of threatening them, but it helps us defensively too as sides are always wary of him in the case of a turnover. Probably being overly harsh but we took him off on 86 minutes on Saturday. Watford scored on 88 minutes down the side that he was playing on.

Beat Colchester 3-2, into the next round. Ndiweni looks like he has a good chance to go far as a player.

Aye, move him further up the pitch as he now has someone to make runs beyond of in Wood. Willock has potential to offer that as we've seen it, whereas Longstaff offers a couple of interceptions and being a complete hinderance to our already shite midfield.

L'Equipe are probably the most reliable outlet for football news in France tbf. We just need to bite the bullet and overpay for our targets. Because its looking like another game against a team near us is going to be tossed off.

Tammy Abrahams as well. It is irrationally infuriating like.

We need another forward tbf to take the pressure off ASM. But a CM should be taking precedence here. Throw money at Marseille and Kamara.

Kamara and I think maybe Witsel has. Unsure on the others though.
