  1. But as a Finnish it is horrible to watch. Hradecky is great, but how can we defend so badly.
  2. Tonali certainly is the Longstaff replacement? Joelinton-Bruno-Tonali should be our starting midfield next season. We do not need a LB if Hall finally is seen as an option. More likely that we sell a LB in Targett or and release one in Ritchie.
  3. So how I see it in: 2x CB's. A one of them left footer DM. To replace Bruno? Or to free him higher? I doubt this will happen though... RW. Left footed right winger, who likes to drift inside to space in front of defence and leave space for Tino/Tripps to run Striker: Younger option behind Isak-Wilson and who can also cover right wing. I would say CBs and RW are a must. Out: Almiron (I think this is certain) Dummett (or Targett?) Ritchie Karius/Gillespie/Dubravka (2 of these?) Hopefully Fraser, Hendrick (out of contract anyway), Hayden and Lewis.
  4. I am not sure if this is the right topic, sorry if not. We (Finland) are facing Wales next Thursday in a playoff to Euro. Funny story on BBC about the time we met in 2009, Bellamy ranted about how bad both teams were. Slight Newcastle-connection other than Bellamy also because Shefki Kuqi scored the 2-0 goal at the end. Going to be a tight game. Sadly we have no Litmanen to run to show anymore. What a player he was. https://www.bbc.com/sport/football/68501111
  5. Yes, but Man Utd have been trying to spend as to remain as a top club and still they are making profit for the owners. Chelsea owners are idiots. Saudis are not idiots. FFP rules might change many times during these few years.
  6. I think we will be a top 4 club at the end of this decade if PIF stay on. We do not know what plans they have for the stadium anyway, but certainly there are some plans. You don't buy a team for 300 million without a plan.
  7. Karius and Gillespie are both awful
  8. Toney is way too expensive for us, and wrong position.
  9. Tbh Tonali is athletic and technical. We also have had to keep players like Almiron or Longstaff. We do not have the FFP room to replace them, and cannot let them leave for free. At least one of these will be gone come summer.
  10. We need players who can receive between the lines. Players like Palmer or Sterling. Gordon and Almiron are not that, neither is Murphy or Barnes. We have no one who drifts to those pockets behind opposition midfield, perhaps Willock a bit.
  11. He signalled "ok" to the bench before that. Both teams have been shit, they have created pretty much nothing.
  12. Yea, but this fair market value only applies when you are buying from/selling to a team with the same owner.
  13. This is going to be messy. If we get 2 offers for shirt sponsor: Sela and Clowns of Buckingham Ltd and first one offers 15 million a year and the second 5£ per year, what is the fair market value? It is impossible for club to prove when they sell player for ex. If we try to sell Almiron to Saudi, they offer us 25 million and him 500k / week, and ManU offer 2 million and 150k a week, what is the fair market value for a player like this?
  14. Please god no Nketiah. I am not saying he is a bad player, but we can't buy 40 million backup forward. We have to be a lot smarter than that.
  15. Surely you have no decent cover for Watkins? Your central defence is strong, but I would say you need 2-3 decent additions. Diaby has been a bit disappointing, I expected more from him. You have been unlucky with those bad injuries, and it is not certain they will be back as good as they were. Lenglet and Zaniolo were loans right? So Mings and Buendia cover those.
  16. Conference league is not really worth it for the money. For the experience to the fans it is great of course. Extra travel and other costs and most likely some sort of bonuses for players if you manage to do well there. So I wouldn't count much for it. But the problem is next year for you. Extra games because of the UCL and quite a thin squad but with limited ability to invest. I would guess you sell one of the bigger names and get 3-4 in his place.
  17. No chance for either Solanke or Toney. edit. or Leao.
  18. Wolves on the one hand look dangerous, but they still have 0 shots towards goal?
  19. Our right hand side is Championship standard. Man Murphy and Longstaff are awful in possession. Wolves are much better at playing between the lines.

    Harvey Barnes

    I think he is not a very good footballer, but an efficient one.
  21. Was awful with possession again. These kind of games show he is only a squad player.
  22. We only have Bruno and Willock who are able to control the ball in tight spaces. Miley and Longstaff awful and so are both wingers.
