Yea, but thing is usually the CB is the favourite to win long balls. Beto is so strong he can actually win those. Long balls to Isak are not a good tactic

He really doesnt play much/at all short passes. In national team that is a clear problem, cause when the ball is played to Pickford he boots it up almost rightaway. there are a lot better GK with the ball in EPL than Pickford. Lot worse too.

I find it odd people say Pickford is good with the ball at his feet. I mean better than Pope yea, but awful still. He always kicks it long and that is problem for England also.

I would say McT had a pretty strong season, and if Ugarte and Mainoo are even better? Wow!

I have no idea if links are true, but Gerard Romero is a Barca mouthpiece and a fan, so wouldn't trust anything he says.

People with scoliosis usually have other shoulder slightly higher. He just might have mild case of that.

Again would cost a fortune and is not that good

Most likely will not affect this window. Surely we have targets looked well in advance. Really need a new one, Eddie has to work with someone, right?

Thing is, with our needs and FFP, we really cannot buy players like Joao Pedro for 60 million. Firstly, he is not that good and secondly that gets us nowhere

He is just someone who doesnt run with the ball, Bruno G isnt carrier either. Just his style is to move cleverly and he is ahead of the game often. But certainly a great player, no doubt about that.

Of course he cant do ”everything” elite level Froggy and you know it very well. His attacking ability is excellent, he creates loads of opportunities and has a great shot in him. But he is not very good defensively and not a ball carrier. of course he would do well at Real, like Bruno G would. There would be so much talent around him. He wouldn’t walk in Real or Barca, but neither would be weaker with him starting I would say.

Calm down people. This is a polite way to say thank you and goodbye. Most likely our offer is so low and he isn't playing here, so obviously he is going to leave. Would be quite surprised if he stayed here playing 5 games a year.

"Established players" certainly doesn't mean they have to be from EPL. Isak and Tonali were established players for example. edit. We have pretty much 2-3 players to sell that actually someone will pay for (Willock, Longstaff and maybe Targett) But we already badly need GK, RCB, RW, striker and at least 1 CM, 2 if we sell either of the above) Lets say we can spend 150 million, which we most likely cannot. Mbeumo 60 Guehi 40 Trafford 20 That leaves 30 million to spend on 1-2 central midfielders and a striker. I would be shocked if we are after more than 1 of these highly rated EPL players.

I can pretty certainly say that we will not be buying in EPL much. Mitchell really has different kind of style, and we need so many players.

If/when players sign new contracts, they are likely reported by the media. New contracts usually are longer but I haven't seen this. Might be, no idea but I know this kind of clause is used or was used a lot by ManU

I understood this clause that there is a basic wage, and it is slashed 25 % when there is no UCL and raised 25 % when there is. Not that it keeps cutting it every year after year.

We would be asking something like +60 million for Gordon, and no way Arsenal or Chelsea are paying that after last season. Getting our money back on Barnes doesn't help us at all, because we have to replace him and we have quite many that we need before LW. Gordon most likely has more value and higher ceiling, but Barnes really is a valuable squad player.

Gordon is not going anywhere, neither is Barnes. We cant lose either and who would buy Gordon after the season he had? Longstaff and Willock might be both out, but we need to replace them. Everyone whose contract expires can bugger off.

Ffs. Murphy AGAIN with shitty pass. He has been awful

How can we lose every single challenge? All the 2nd balls, headers, 1v1s, we are weaker

Huge gaps between our attack and midfield when we try to press.

Gordon has been awful again. and Botman sadly

I don't really mind seeing them back up. They will go down right away, and most likely lose derbies pretty badly.

If you start Ugarte and Casemiro, play Bruno higher up and Mount also deserved the spot, then that means dropping Diallo? Who with Bruno is maybe the most likely to produce something?

If Mazraoui or Yoro is the right sided CB, they can cover that side anyway. As a no 10 Amad starts very wide all the time.
