Nice from barnes

What sort of team we looking at tonight? I imagine Pope will get a full 90 after his outing on Wednesday, but don’t expect any of the others to feature. pope manquillo/ashby lascelles dummett targett bruno ?? anderson murphy wilson barnes willock and longstaff being injured leaves us a midfielder short unless someone backs up from the other night

Was thinking this, feels as intense as a league game.

Dubs is shite at 1 on 1s, may as well not be there

Wish they were releasing all episodes at once like

It just says home and away games, doesn’t say all.

Good to know! Hopefully nothing then

Surely not pulling the plug already?

The formation was definitely an issue, he looked like he knew his role/position a lot better against rangers in the 433. Tbh the whole team looked dodgy for the first 30 last night; it was an extremely open game

Really was a lovely ball over the top to Gordon for the 3rd goal

The 3 CBs were spread about 5 metres apart on the replay of that chance a few minutes ago

Have no doubt he will turn into a top talent for us, but a good thing about signing young players is that whilst £30million may seem steep, in 4/5 years time he will still be a good age and we could probably recoup £20+ if it doesn’t work out, and that would all be profit pretty much at that point. With FFP it’s important to keep having players to trade like Maxi, he is almost pure profit and a big boost. One of them every year or 2 will help us. again not saying this guy will be that, in fact I highly doubt it, but worst case scenario would still benefit us

I’d still prefer targett over Burn but it’s unlikely

The disrespect to Barnes is actually ridiculous when you compare the things that actually matter ie minutes played, goals and assists. I love maxi but he hasn’t scored since August ffs, meanwhile barnes has scored more whilst getting relegated than maxi has in 4 seasons.

Wonder why Kuol hasn’t featured at all so far in these friendlies?

Like he’s been here years

5 full backs is interesting

Noticed Dan Ashworth mentions about him having English lessons, and quickly. Good to hear!

No doubt in my mind that Isak is number 1 striker. Love Wilson mind, but Isak is next level and our future

Hypothetically if we sold Maxi for 40 million, that would be a massive ffp boost surely? He can’t have much left on the books so that would be 30/35 million profit surely, could get another tonali for those figures. (He is 11 million a season)

It is odd though how it was all but done nearly 10 days ago but no announcement. We like to drag our feet. for example Liverpool with Szob was all wrapped up in 48 hours

I’d call bullshit too, surely too expensive both fee and wages?

If we are going to sign someone from arsenal I’d be looking at Smith-Rowe
