Oregon_Geordie

Just catching up on this! Fucking hell! Some singing. I for one look forward to just enjoying the lad develop and watch him link up with the other talent we're building up. Looks to have some pace, amazing feet and a hell of a strike! Excited for this one What a change we're witnessing at the club.

All players make errors. It's part of the game. I didn't see any clangers today against arguably the best team in Europe. Excited to see him grow into the role.

If we get this lad. I personally think he will be first class. Once he gets that Brazilian Geordie energy he'll be banging them in. If we were buying the kid straight from Fluminese with his undoubted ability and technical flair, we'd all be knocking one out. Give the lad a few months, his talent alongside better players and with Eddies coaching, he's gonna tear it up.

Beautiful stuff. Should be 3-4 up. Big Joe man!

edit - Driving run! lol

Willock looks like rabbit in headlights so far. Our shapes all over the place.

Love big Joe.

Class. Again!

For all Miggy's faults he puts ASM to shame. Guy's not arsed, throwing his arms around and making half arsed attempts to close his man. He's the weak link in this team - It's getting dull now.

You could play Maxi off Wilson also....

5, 3, 2 would sacrifice the wingers no. With Trippier and Target giving more width. Bruno, Joe, Wilock in MF, Maddison off Wilson? Just a thought, also Botman/Schar would be encouraged to bring the ball out from the back.

8th right now. Couple of Bruno level additions up top and I'd say 5th/6th.

Love this man! He has every single player giving 110% for the shirt, the effort, commitment and workmate is amazing to see. Not to mention the shape and turn around in certain players is frightening. Hope he's here and successful for a very long time - class act!

Top Boy!

Professional outfit! Holy shit! Enjoyed that. Which was strange. HWTL

Love Wood.

I'd rather do a raffle and start a random fan every game than him. Might be more entertaining too!

Chris Wood, man! I tried to support hi, but fucking hell , he's turbo shit.

Ashley levels of shite, this!

Just watched some clips of this lad that we're linked to, Kamaldeen Sulemana. Super exciting, young, rapid and technical. Also the amount of times he presses the ball and wins it back is exactly how Howe has us set up. Something Maxi refuses to do also. I'd rather we spend 25-30m on him than some of the fees being banded around for Harrison and the like. Would love us to add some genuine pace out wide to scare the shit out of the opposition.

Not much new from watching that. Solid back line, decent in the middle, minus an attacking playmaker. Wings are piss poor. Minus Wilson, we're championship up top. Need a Young, Pacy CF, Right winger who can play football with end product. Midfielder who can unlock a defence. Paqueta, Diaby and Dennis would do. Side note. Anderson should be in the squad and Murphy and Almiron should be left in Austria.

I'm here... Striker on Loan - someone good enough to cover Wilson with Pace and Power. Dennis would do. Winger - Sarr would be a decent buy if we can't get Diaby. Then spunk the rest on Bruno's best mate and watch the beautiful Brazilians turn on the samba football. I'd Start: Pope Trippier Target Botman Schar Joe Bruno Paqueta Maxi Sarr Wilson That with Eddie at the reign and some luck with injury would get us top 8. Elliot / Fraser / Miggy to Cover wings, Wood & Dennis to cover Wilson, Shelvey, Longstaff to cover the middle. Let's go! It's Phase 1.

What makes you think that, just out of curiosity? He tends to win most of his duals on the edge of his own box...

lol

I used to think we definitely needed a DM behind Bruno. However, with Botman and Burn/Schar clearly being asked to engage higher and Pope sweeping, I think we could play Bruno deeper and let Joe break up and engage/press the opponent midfield higher, allowing Paqueta to drift more. Just a thought, it would a shame to lose out on someone of such ability, but I trust Howe to know what he's after.
