Mbeumo and Guehi only 25 and 24 years old respectively. Every chance Howe improves them and their resale value as such. I'd be delighted with both.

One thing consistent with the reporting so far, club making noises about getting the key business done early. The unrest if anything drags on throughout summer will be huge so they simply have to stick to that this time round.

Murphy/Schar becoming squad players is fine - Guehi and Mbuemo big improvements to first 11 imo. Then yes, a goalkeeper without spades for feet.

Not getting excited by a Baldwards exclusive but those two in early would really set the tone. As said by others we could chill a bit and just enjoy any other additions after that

Expecting Craig Hope to spill some beans on this one later on

Tosin all over again

Maybe works better in a worse team, since our levels have increased (particularly Bruno and Tonali in midfield) he looks way off it. He now carries the ball with little purpose and end result, the big part lacking to his game nowadays

Same old over estimating our opponents compared to others. Love how Villa away at Man U is a certain win yet Everton at home for us will be a low block struggle. If anything Man U need to show they have any form of bollocks to their fans in final home game. We have the easiest fixture out of all 5 teams competing for top 5.

Why on earth would Eddie be looking to shake things up? Can see us going back to familiar 433 but its not a shake up its got us to 4th in the league, think Everton will let us have a lot of the ball early on.

what has he said on Isak future please?

Amorim also inherited a squad that had 3/4 of a million spent on it in the last 4 years. Howe inherited a Mike Ashley shitshow. Howe massively improved what he already had - Schar, Murphy and Joelinton 3 of our best players this season in fact. Has Amorim improved what's already there?

is it Sunday yet

I think there is a difference when a player is coming into the twilight of his career like Wilson? Its obvious for all parties that this summer is the one he leaves. Don't think thats disloyal as a fan to think so.

Sorry to probably be an echo but what does a Chelsea draw mean for us for final 2? Only need a point unless a goal swing?

Edwards 'worrying times for Newcastle with two huge games remaining' when the player thats played less than 10% of minutes this season is out of the last two games with a cup already in the cabinet and on the brink of 2nd/3rd/4th finish

Happy to back 2 Chelsea wins and 2 Villa wins just to have compensation for last day stress levels. We will beat Everton either way and may even win at Arsenal.

Mbuemo/Tino next season

My mates currently playing golf in Nottingham the hole behind Chris Wood, MGW and Elliot Anderson. Told him to ask Morgan to grab a pic of him with the other two "Don't bottle champs league lads" as he walks away

Completely agree, with City arguably having two 11's (just underperformed for whatever reason this season). We're now in the realms where you buy new purples, and the current starting 11 member to drop out becomes your bench first-teamer. Not backup.

not in the conversation at 1/25 with bookies

Nailed on Villa at 5/4 with bet365. Get down the bookies

Just realised, that point at Brighton looking massive right now. Would be needing 4 from last two games to guarantee it if we'd lost at Brighton.

541 / 343 again please. Narrow 4 in midfield without the ball and let their full backs have it (encourage crosses from deep) - no Merino through suspension. Counter attack
