We were linked with him last summer. We should have quit Guehi and brought him in cheap to learn behind Schär. There was another young rcb that looked even better. Italian or playing in Serie A. Can't remember his name.

Right. I guess i am wondering whether a signing like Dibling would work considering Eddie might want to be slow about giving him starts. I think this kind of signing (like Tino and Hall) would normally be perfect for us but not if Murphy collapses or gets injured.

I think it would be foolish to think Murphy can continue this form through the year, let alone through next season.He will be 30 in a little over a month. It is the mistake we made with Miggy. We can survive until the summer with Miggy, Barnes, and Gordon but need a replacement badly. Same for rcb.

Good. Would still like to get him in the summer.

Forwards too.

We wanted him; he wanted London. At this point, would rather see a young rcb come in and work behind Schär for a time.

Yes.

Do they have a left-footed rw that we fancy? Chukwueze maybe?

Our back line is: Hall...Botman...Schär...Livramento. Midfield: Big Joe...Tonali...Guimarães. Frontline: Gordon...Isak...Murphy. GK: Pope (in a week or two) Sometimes forget how good our current starting 11 is.

I would hope Osula development would also prevent him from getting playing time.

Someone with more computer skills needs to.

I'm not advocating the switch, but transfermarkt has DCL missing 0 games (that doesn't seem right though) this season vs. 141 days for Wilson. Transfermarkt games missed.

DCL would be a Wilson not Isak replacement.

Not selling Almiron was a mistake as would be failing to sell Longstaff if we get a decent offer. Especially if it gives us the freedom to buy a new RW. Would like to see Miley get more minutes too.

Love he is having a temporary run. He deserves it. It won't last, and we still need a RW. Murphy can stay when we get a new one.

Eddie said recently that he expects us to be quiet in January. I think that is the most likely outcome.

If a new RW is dependent on his depature, we should sell or loan to anyone.

Contract runs until 2028, and I hope he runs it down.

That would be an excellent signing. Hopefully we can sell Miggy too.

We don't need another Osula unless at least one immediately goes out on loan.

Mbeumo had beautiful goal.

I was looking for this face on those tshirts:

Out of contract summer '25: Longstaff (option to '26), Wilson, Kraft, Schar, Lascelles, Dubravka, Gillespie, Ruddy. We probably need to extend Schar for a year.

Not the first time he has been linked with us. He would be perfect but I will post this quote from him again: Football Oranje
