    Now That's What I Call Transfer Rumours! 7

    I think we'll add 1-2 first team level and back that up with 1-2 younger players. Eventually I think we'll have a lot of talented youth players waiting in the wings, players who will not be too pissed waiting their turn while our main 11-15 experienced players, play most games. It's nice where building up all levels and age groups as we go. Exciting times :)  

     

    Also interested to see how Howe may shuffle the tactics slightly with the front players. Ala Burn left back/left centre halve. It's crazy how fluid but balanced our defence is right now allowing Trippier to play almost as a Deep Midfield playmaker at times.

    This. And Wood etc etc etc. Some absolute undeserving cunts on here slagging off players that

    a) were let down by previous

    b) got us, miraculously, top4 form

    c) have us, justifiably, top4

    d) good enough for Eddie

     

    Wankers need to fuck off and support Man City. ?

     

    Amen! I don't get it either. Top 4 players, even the slightly more limited ones.

    It wasn't that though, he was just genuinely lazy in the first half.  At one point Longstaff busted a gut to cover him while he was swanning about.  Don't want to go in too hard on him as he get much better but he deserved a kick up the arse. 

    Agree, first half was the weakest link. Looked disinterested and shirked a couple of 50/50. He's quite passive it seems but when the game stretches he comes into his own. he'd be the one to give way for me if we upgraded. Impact Sub.

    What I love about this team today. Howe has me actually questioning do we start Maxi or Shelvey now.

    Do we play Joe or Jo in midfield 3, do we bring Target back for Burn. Where the fuck does Isak player....?

    Then we have 1-2 more to come in in January... Murphy looked impressive today on the left, better than Maxi if we're honest.

    We have a lot of options.

     

    I love how Howe has made us a team and not individuals. Its beautiful to watch, collective effort and talent, well drilled but with so many options due to how well coached we are.

     

    Excited to see how we keep growing.

    More like a Nicky Butt (before he came here)

     

     

    Nothing like Nicky Butt tbh, pre or at toon. Completely different player. Actually underrated.

    Just needs to speed up his decision making at times, he was as good as Bruno today and some of the stuff he does goes unnoticed.

     

    I'm not huge fan boy but it's nice to see him do well and he gets far too much shit for a young, local lad who has not missed a game getting us to 4th.

    I think we could do with a DM who has pace than the likes of Merino. Someone sitting at 6 with good recovery speed to cover the FB position is we get caught in transition as an example. We’re a bit ‘one geared’ defensively. Positional awareness and reading of the game are tremendous attributes but pace is something fantastic to have to resort to.

     Couldn't agree more with this. Would love Merino, but think we lack and bit of pace in the middle, a box to box player with speed would be my first call, also. Who, leave it Dan and the boys!
