If we lose one midfielder, lets say Miley comes in. If we lose two midfielders, Willock or Willock's replacement comes in. If we lose all three of our midfield we will go to a back 5. So for Longstaff to have any reasonable chance of mattering we need to lose 4 of our midfielders, and even then Hall could play there, but we shouldn't sell him when it's pure profit in this PSR world we live in? If we have four midfielders out good luck us beating anyone in Champions Leavue anyway, really don't think it's much of a factor when it comes to selling him or not.

Sadly it can't ever be experienced again mate, that feeling of winning our first trophy after such a long wait can never be repeated, once in a lifetime moment!

Brentford's a nice shout @CallumG6surprised they're so short, assume it's following the logic you mentioned. I want to oppose Forest next season but thought they'd be a bigger price for relegation. Mackems 4/1 to be the best of the newcomers is interesting.

This is the dream for me as well, would love to see us play in the Bernabeu.

I was in the home end at Dortmund, it was my first time doing it, and it was surreal! I was expecting to have to keep silent the whole game, then I get in the ground and there's 10+ people with black and white tops lol. Half-time in the concourse was wild, about 20 Newcastle fans going nuts singing Toon songs for the whole of half-time, completely took over the place, obviously joined them Their fans where just laughing at us. Sidestory, I goes to the toilet, guy on my left is a Toon fan, guy on my right went to my school, wtf! 2nd half there was Newcastle songs started on the terraces from a few in front and behind us, mental experience. Likely the score played a big part in them giving us a pass, and as said plenty grounds it's going to be a different story. I'll always have a soft spot for Dortmund and their fans after that.

My post choosing Dibling over Mbeumo would be with the added caveat that Howe has chosen to go that route, that would be enough to excite me to his potential.

FYI Barnes in Premier League this season 9 goals, 5 assists from 1,754 minutes so 125 minutes per g/a Mbeumo excluding pens got 15 goals and 9 assist from 3,417 minutes so 142 minutes per g/a I didn't know that data before looking but I'd put Mbeumo on a similar level to Barnes, I rate Barnes, and think Mbeumo would be a good signing, but think some may have unrealistic expectations of what Mbeumo would bring based on one great season (numbers wise).

Mbeumo is very good but feel like we pretty much know his ceiling, plus he's basically just had the perfect season so we are going to have to overpay to get him. Dibling on the other hand could be anything, and under Howe he'll very likely reach close to his top potential, happy with either but I'd go Dibling if the price is not too unreasonable.

Note to self - stopping opening this fucking thread jesus!!!

The catastrophizing by some after every minor blip is pretty absurd! Why would Mitchell leaving be that big of a deal? He's not been here very long, had little to no impact whilst here, and given the fact he's now left it's a reasonable assumption that him and Howe weren't on the same page, and there should only be one winner there, therefore it seems good news this is done now and we move on. Eddie will be the main man in charge of dealings this summer, his record of signings to date for us has been fantastic, we are in fantastic hands, we move on!

Closest thing to free money on them getting relegated.

Anyone who's genuinely flapping about this game just isn't up to speed with who we are now! Something freakish will have to happen on Sunday for us not to win, we are too good to let this slip. Most likely outcome is its done and dusted after 20-30 minutes and we are out of sight, enjoy.

Yeah a know mate, just think we genuinely shouldn't give a shit

Well said Eddie, class act as always!

I couldn't give less of a shit haha, just focused on what we are doing and where we are headed. We have all the foundations in place for kicking on now and having continued success. I think only three clubs are better placed than us right now in Arsenal, City and Liverpool, given where we were not long ago that's amazing.

Successful is an extreme understatement

There's talk about Branthwaite missing U21 Championships this Summer because of his hamstring injury, so fair to assume he'll be missing Sunday.

Lot of clubs with nothing to play for in the last game will be resting and rotating for various reasons, so doesn't seem impossible to me it's true, but good chance it's bs of course.

Not trying to be some ITK wanker lol, and no idea on how credible the info is, but supposedly Pickford won't be playing Sunday as they've gave him leave to go enjoy the playoff final. May sound like bollocks but if memory serves me right hasn't he don't this before? Also he's not played previously vs us even though he wasn't injured so maybe it's true. Either way echo what others have said, gotta look forward to these moments, whatever happens its best season in my lifetime, Sunday will top it off when we get it done.

Really wouldn't surprise me at all if Man U get a result tnite, don't they have a few good results against other so called top 6 teams? Relatively speaking that is giving where they are in the league. Chelsea aren't that good, and will come onto them which suits their counter attacking setup. Be a big shock if Villa don't win but no result in Chelsea Man U game will be that much of a shock for me.

Fuck letting PSR dictate the way you think all the time as well, so over that way of thinking, even if it is the smart choice, they've took enough emotion out of the game with VAR! If you're over 35 and want Man U to win, your touched! Will be rooting for Spurs 1000%

Leicester have announced Sunday will be Vardy's last game for the club, if he scores it's 200 goals for the club, seems highly possible he'll get booked in the resulting celebration. Can get 14/1 on betMGM which is much bigger than most other places, Skybet moved from 12/1 to 9/1 in under 5 minutes so think other's are playing the same angle, glgl if you get on it.

It 100% is when there's one source putting out info, who's a known universal bullshitter that will put anything for clicks.

Interesting what they're going to do with him and Mamardashvili, assume neither is gunna accept being #2

Sure, and obviously Pope is better than him, but when they replace Sanchez this Summer if Pope was available do you expect Chelsea to be interested? I would be shocked if he was Chelsea's #1 GK next season
