Aimless popossession because none of our players are willing or able to break through the lines with their runs. Sick of seeing them all hang back waiting for a pass into their feet.

This is actually fucking embarrassing

Yup, some decent possession but without a focal point we look a bit short of ideas with that final pass

Struggling without a striker making the right runs

I actually think there's a really good chance of getting him based on the fact we're turning heads and causing a bit of a stir. Would actually love him here tbh, we need more player who know how to keep hold of possession and take pressure away from our defence.

Crazy judging a player on the season he had with us (where he actually did well all things considered) and not the subsequent 5 years he had with the PL and European champions.

Reckon we should merge this rumour thread with ours.

ASM could do with doing that as well tbf.

This thread is a perfect representation of institutionalisation. For nerds.

Always rated Emerson whenever I've seen him play. Should just bid for him.

Yeh exactly. Obviosuly hope it's the former but when you factor in the 2 tier wages we'll inevitably have in the dressing room, you do wonder what the chances are for players to carry on the fight.

"For clarity"

Someone's had a word in his ear and told him to reel it in. Not that I want to put a downer on things but I do worry if this kind of activity unsettles our players, something like this surely will?

Boring isn't it? Just staying in reading transfer rumours with ya life.

Based purely on my extensive 8 minutes of YouTube scouting I'd love him here.

Aye thoughts so, you can taste the bitterness from his tweets.

Aye thats definitely us. This guy was anti takeover IIRC.

Newcastle United. Loads of money. Helping Barcelona out. Is this real life?

The thing with PEA is he relies on service, and we've not really been crafting the type of chance he'd thrive from. I'd rather go for a striker who can link up well and bring others into the game a bit more.

Love this kind of player. Nasty prick who backs it with quality.

Ugh! What an utterly rancid quote. 'My sporting aspirations is to join a one horse race'

Interesting for this new link to come out after its rumoured Lille have bumped up the price. Seems like this guy is on the same level as Botman.

Tbf, it's literally my only source so I'm not sure where to go if I can't speculate on speculation.

Well by virtue of the lack of links to alternatives. Suggests we're not prioritising a winger. Full backs, CD and CM widely accepted as being our priority positions, no?
