We all know that - but if Lodi is as attack minded as hes made out, do we really want our left back AHEAD of Maxi when he loses the ball?

Man Ure had a massive drinking culture at the time iirc. Fergie may have been able to channel some of his energy though

82 page thread and he isnt even ours yet.

All we have to is W A I T.

I know, I know. But its kindve almost like a cliche now.

It was canny 25 years ago when Keys and Gray first linked up but now?

That sports direct logo on the roof....fucking hell.

That is one of my pet hates too - when the co-comms has a scottish accent. It was canny 25 years ago when Keys and Gray first linked up but now?

Diaby looks great. My only concern is that hes smaller than Fraser.

Every time i watch that i still think the ball is going in but then the balls rotation curves it away

From watching a few of his games i thought would settle into the PL very quickly.

Harsh on Miggy tbh.

Was it Ibra who had the song about his nose being offside?

FYP

Hes still at west brom isnt he? Its like hes remarried but still talking about his ex.

Doubt Eddie would touch him if his attitude off the pitch is like that.

Kieth Curle Diego Costa El Hadji Diouf Dennis Wise Not a PL player but Harald Schumacher - disgusting.

If we are bringing in Lodi, then still need another left back. I know Dummett can play there, as can Burn and Manq in a pinch but we still have Lewis? Is he staying, going or what? Hes been deregistered from the squad so is he suddenly back in Howe's good books? I like Lewis and Howe might be able to improve his game but I think he'll be sold. So we still need another left back. Theres no guarantee Lodi will slot right in like Tripps did, he could take a looooong time to adapt. Whats his injury record like anyway? Targett is cheap, reliable, consistent, experienced in the PL, knows Howes system and is available.

Dont spoil my fun.

At a loose end so thought Id put together my own little squad refresh... We currently have: Dubs, Darlow, Gillespie, Woodman Burn, Clark, Dummet, Fede, Kraft, Lascelles, Lewis, Manquillo, Ritchie, Schar, Targett, Tripps Almiron, Joelinton, Fraser, Bruno, Hayden, Longstaff, Shortstaff, Murphy, Shelvey, Willock, Billy Gayle, Maxi, Wilson, Wood Obviously this isnt the 25 man squad so this list needs trimming before we even get to that. So we get rid of (Sell/loan/release): Darlow, Woodman Clark, Ritchie, Lewis Hayden, Shortstaff, Billy Gayle, This removes 9 players and gives us a first team squad of 22: Dubs, Gillespie, Burn, Dummet, Fede, Kraft, Lascelles, Manquillo, Schar, Targett, Tripps Almiron, Joelinton, Fraser, Bruno, Longstaff, Murphy, Shelvey, Willock, Maxi, Wilson, Wood From this squad of 22, who do we bring in and who do we replace: GK: Dubs, Gillespie, *new 2nd choice keeper* LB: Targett, *new left back*, CB: Burn, Schar, Lascelles, *Fede replaced with new centre back*, Dummet, RB: Kraft, Manquillo, Tripps, LW: Maxi, CM: Joelinton, Bruno, Longstaff, *Shelvey replaced with new centre midfielder*, Willock, RW: Almiron, *Murphy replaced with new right winger*, Fraser, FW: Wilson, Wood, *new striker* Thats got to be over £100M spent just there. And looking at the players in their positions, it looks slightly unbalanced at full back and LW, RW positions. As its gonna take a couple of windows to fine tune the squad balance, we hang on to Lascelles, Manq, and Almiron at least for the season ahead.

Thats amazing! Totally amazing. My morning has gone to shit As well as the memories, theres Keegan talking about Ferdinand and Shearer BEFORE we'd even signed Cole.
