Nine

Exactly my line of thinking, or if Abraham leaves Roma.

Gabriel Jesus will move to serie A within a season or two.

Sterling and Bellingham? There is going to be some twisting when we don’t sign any well established ‘big’ names this summer isn’t there?

LB + Targett CB CM RW ST

I'll say it again regarding the likes of Dybala/Neymar or whoever. I really dont think we will be signing anyone of this profile this summer (or next), they will be on far to much money compared to the rest of the squad and its a risk upsetting the dressing room/throwing wage structure out of balance. I expect us to go in another direction entirely and sign the likes of Bissouma/Antony/Paqueta rather than the already established mega expensive types.

Just so poor creatively/going forward tonight. Bruno cant do much with those front 3 that started the game, gutted to lose against these fuckers.

Botman off injured?

Some sloppy moments tonight but overall he had another good game, what a ball in for Wood.

Easily proved hes worth the fee we paid since Howe came in

‘Who, that bloke who relegated Bournemouth?’

0 We are winning the league

Happy Wood got his goal, very clean header and what a cross from Shelvey

Really missing Joelinton I feel

Hopefully the knock to Joe isnt to bad, lets see how we play without him. Hope Bruno has a stormer.

I dont think we will tip our wage structure over 100k a week yet, it will take at least another season. I think Bruno is on 70-80k.

Raphinha I think might be possible this summer, Rice nah. As has been said any player that will expect to be paid over 100k a week won’t be here.

Everton remind me so much of what we were during 2008/9.

Tonight the team he picks will be interesting, he will have to rotate in this run of 4 games in 10 days. For everyone that’s been looking for any reason to start Bruno they will probably get their wish soon enough

Their fans are generally fucking rank and deserve everything they get

Apparently one of them chucked their season card at the manager and stormed out when they were 0-1 down

What? I just said in my post that he’s not African, no need for the rabid race accusations like. All I said was that the post about African players commonly fiddling their ages isn’t exactly wrong.

I mean, he’s kind of right though (about the fiddling of ages not Zapata being African)

This is a big point for us at the moment, it defo feels like we are signing players depending on their personality as much as their ability. Howe seems to have an exact idea of the type of mentality he wants around the club.

He’s had a massive resurgence compared to the first few games under Howe, I was one of the people saying he shouldn’t be playing in a back 4 and he’s making me eat my words at the moment. Long may it continue.
