Yea, certainly they can switch places, but I see him as a much bigger goal threat than Bruno.

Was linked to Everton somewhere. Cannot understand why would he go there..

2-0 and started with a lovely pass from Tonali.

I am too lazy to go back to this topic, but someone said he will be playing no 6 with Bruno becoming an 8. Has been mentioned hundred times, but he clearly fits the Longstaff-role perfectly. Longstaff's finishing was not that good, and he is quite one footed. Tonali can possible play that Bruno-role and give him a rest once in a while with no problem.

Last year we bought big money striker, now a CM so maybe year from now a big money centreback to replace Schär?

HJK has been pretty awful this season. Got in the UEL groups last year and UECL groups year before though. I have no idea about Larne's level, but this first round could be interesting Winner faces Norwegian side Molde, so no chance there most likely.

Surely the price is in € in that tweet above. ffs I am slow.

We really are not getting Barella. I see no reason for him to leave Inter, and if he does, there will be bigger fish after him.

We also need promising players. We don't have a squad, we have zero assets with any sale-on value and we cannot pay as big wages as top 6 teams.

Most likely places from 2 to 6 will be very close. They will get stronger in the summer and get the 85-95 points again.

Mount is nothing special. ManU need a center forward more than anything, so don't get the idea of spending 70 million on Mount.

I think both are out if a decent bid comes in. Great lads, but we can do better and their price most likely is only going down.

Ritchie, Lewis and Dummett are all de facto left backs. We already have Targett and Burn there. If we buy left back, all those are gone. RB position we got Trippier and Ashby, so Krafth and Manquillo are 3rd and 4th choice. You don't have to replace these guys necessarily.

That have actually played? (so not include Lewis, Fraser, M. Longstaff, Clark, Hendrick, Gillespie, Ritchie) Not many. 2-3 I would say. We need: left back (and need to get rid of 1-2 current left backs) two centre midfielders, a defensive and an attacking one right winger (and maybe get rid of one) understudy right centre back for Schär Anything else is a bonus.

I like him, but what position will he play? Joelinton's on the left of three? Or Longstaff's? Or right wing?

I think next season will be last.

He has got decent amount of goals, but he is awful 1v1 player. I would really hope that if we spend 40-50 million for a player, he would offer a threat in that regards.

Please god no Barnes

Hopefully we stay clear of him. Decent stats, but awful 1v1 player.

I thought Pavard has mostly been playing RB

Trippier should just shoot it occasionally. Those clips in are easy for Souttar.

To be honest both Manquillo and Krafth are most likely very cheap. Maybe we get a nominal fee from Fraser, if he wants to go somewhere and take a pay cut. Also Ciaran Clark's contract is up, dunno if we have played some of his wages still. Hendrick most likely leaves.

Agree. This might be the right moment to cash in on some players that have overperformed. Murphy and Miggy come to mind, but I would guess Miggy is untouchable.

To be honest, what is the alternative with that team? Kick it long when there is Burn, Schär and Botman winning headers? They are playing from the back nicely, but the they really missed MacAllister and Caicedo in the middle, and we were relentless with the press. That Brighton team is not very good, it had Undav and Welbeck up top ffs. You know what you get with De Zerbi, like you know Big Sam has his team kicking it long all the time, no matter how wise it is.

I know this is not a popular opinion, but I still think people give too much value for top 4, in NUFC case. We haven't made a budget counting to it and not promising players UCL football yet. Yes, it perhaps would push our plans ahead a year or two, but with PIF's resources we will end up in top 4 eventually anyway. Any other result would be a total disaster. They are rebuilding the whole club from the training ground up. After waiting for so long for success and already getting to 1 cup final, at least I myself can wait a bit longer. We are top team for good now. Dropping out of CL is of course a big hit for established teams, and teams like Spurs and Chelsea will suffer, especially Chelsea given their spending. But Liverpool for example are in decent shape FFP-wise, they will still attract better players than we do, and for the moment pay bigger salaries, even in UEL. And yes, it would be great to see us end in Top4. Some here just seem to take it a bit too seriously.
