I reckon him or Lonstaff for first goalscorer

Man U brought him out of retirement? Desperate times and all that.

Stones has been quite canny there, tbf. He's got his eye on the ball [after a quick look] and I suspect that's why the ref hasn't given it.

Just as long as we play them at DM?

Maybe he's got a private jet to Mallorca to speed things along.

You're right but I would like to see Willock getting into the box a lot more.

Longstaff can fill in. I think he can pretty much cover all CM positions adequately.

He's not contributing much tbh, stick Miggy in his place and we look like this in attack. Bruno Trips Almiron Joelinton ASM Isak Wilson or Bruno Joelinton Trips Almiron ASM Isak Wilson or Bruno Trips Almiron Joelinton Isak Wilson ASM

Yeah, all the image lacked was the ability to give consent.

The most important aspect of the Woodsigning is that it allowed Howe to implement the necessary changes to training. Without Wood we would have struggled to change from "defend and get it to Maxi"

Yeah. It depends if Targett will be available for Wolves. If so then Botman is unlikely to start against Wolves so will benefit from a game tonight. There's always the option of Bondswell at LB and Dummett in the centre, but we're creating possible weak points.

I'm not accepting it's done yet. But I'm hoping it is. Nobody had a fucking clue.

I just don't see it as a priority. CAM we have Willock and Longstaff [I'm not forgetting Billy Elliott], and maybe Miggy can fill in if we utilise Isak on the right, but that is the one area that we lack real quality and it's such an important position.

Botman is I think.

It would be nice to see a completely different XI and win comfortably. Never felt confident saying that before.

Stick Isak on the right and give Miggy Wilock's place. Isaak instructed to get into the box and Miggy to continue his link up down the right with Trips and Bruno. Edit: I guess I should mention Pedro. I think he'll be a great sub with that team.

Scored against them in a 1-1 all draw last season.

Sloppy finishing?

I doubt they'd make an announcement, tbh. If he's okay there's no point telling Wolves. Howe will be asked after tonight's game and he'll remain ambiguous. It could be that he's fucked and they want to hide that from other clubs, I suppose. Either way we I doubt we'll know until Sunday.

He's a handsome bugger.

Nobody else has got him so there is no stress. If all the factors pointing to him wanting to come here are true, then we'll sign him when we want. I'm sure we simply have to ask.

EH? We've only really got Bruce to compare and he gets 1000% more than he ever did.

I would have got it quicker if she was Swedish. I think we need a Dall-e image of a Swede with a Brazilian.

Didn't Paqueta's reported price come down around the same time? Might be fantasising but that bid might have been to provoke him into pushing for his move. He wants to play in the PL and while it's not a requirement that he joins his best mate, I think if the opportunity was disappearing he might take action.

Why do people keep saying this? Real Madrid have him as their number one Casemiro replacement.
