His 1 touch passing is incredible, it stands out on our team

Interesting we have took the approach to go big on 1 player We could have attempted Lacroix & Chiesa for around £28M Or Huijsen & Gruda for around £38M Etc etc There was definitely cheaper alternatives out there, and although I'd love Guehi, over the next couple years, we are likely going to need 2 RW and CB, as Miggy/Murphy and Schar/Burn are all old or fairly old So having a young, talented, cheaper player would have worked well as even if they didn't turn into a Bruno or Isak, they would hopefully be a good second choice, or even be a decent FFP flip I'm sure the club have thought of this though and know better than me 😂

Chiesa to Liverpool for £11m, wow Suprised way more clubs didn't take a chance on him for that cheap, unless wages are crazy, but Liverpool are normally pretty strict aren't they?

Agreed, not certain as the window is still open, but we could have really cemented ourselves as the main threat behind Man City, Liverpool and Arsenal Would always be hard as Chelsea, Man U and Tottenham have deeper squads, but with a quality RW, CB and decent back up keeper. I reckon we'd be right up there Now, we are relying on Howe getting every ounce out of each player again, many who aren't at the required level

He rightly got a lot of praise last week, but that was as good as a game he would have, that isn't his usual level every game.

That Isak meg...

I always thought we were cash rich, FFP poor, is there more to it than this? I'd have agreed with you

Yeah, especially after Fergusons hatrick against us, perfect time to kick on

I don't think Tino can be 'got at', think he is excellent 1v1, has great recovery pace, tall etc

Fair point, Emery has won loads of Europa stuff I probably jumped the gun but (unfortunately) I think Arteta will be a top tier manager, got Arsenal playing quality football, can see them becoming a 90+ point level for the foreseeable future Plus, he had 0 management experience before taking on Arsenal. Imagine he will only get better

Pep is the goat for me. But Pep and Arteta are in a tier of their own

Did I read he wanted a Saudi move but it broke down? Surely of all teams, we are the team a move shouldn't breakdown with? 😂 Really hope we can get a fee for him, does us no well losing one of our better players on free /loan

Any news on if we have appealed? If so, when would we expect a decision?

Said it before but we are a good RW and CB away from imo having the best team outside city / arsenal / Liverpool (well not Chelsea but they don't put it together well) . If we keep the team as it is now, then I don't think we do BTW crazy Brighton have signed 3/4 Right Wingers. Almost like they know there is a shortage of top players there and they'll be able to flog them at a profit in the near future

Yeah I think Arteta is a fantastic manager, he's done unreal and he's one of the few managers to sign £500m worth of players and actually perform like they should do. Shame he's a smarmy, cringe pr*ck

If we can't get Guehi, surely Diomande is a great option? Looks like he could be elite, he's a beast

I do worry, or hope that we do develop the ability to control a game at our own pace, and not constantly seek transitions to score our goals. But with our personal, I'm not so sure

How was he in the second half? Wasn't impressed first half and missed from 50mins onwards

Isn't there usually a '24/25' season type of thread?

I rate Howe so much, wish he had a elite RW and CB at his disposal for this season, could see what damage he could do with a confident-top 4 level first 11.

He'll no doubt be class if they want him if Michael Edwards wants him I've the most confidence in him/Liverpool and Brighton when it comes to signings

Honestly It hurts me that we probably can't get a top CB and top RW, I honestly feel if we add Guehi and a very good RW, we'd be better than these teams, mainly because of Howe, as some clubs like Chelsea have endless quality but haven't had a manager who can put it together etc

Ffs, bet they sell Allison for a huge fee next year then to Saudi

How many years left on his contract? If 1 then taking the fee is a no brainier imo

Surely Gordon wouldn't take Liverpool to the next level? They have so much pace in the front line already with Salah, Nunez etc, surely someone who is more adept at unlocking a low block would be more beneficial to them
