That's true, though I miss the dopamine release of a reliable link to a high level player 😂

Gutted to hear Chiesa isn't the player he used to be, haven't watched him lately but he used to be so exciting Just a thought, but would people rather we got Chiesa for £20M or something and a attacking midfielder like MGW too... Or we only went big on RW Mbuemo/Neto/ Olise type of level etc?

I feel like Pep started doing this after years of getting knocked out the CL usually through goals on the transition / moments where individuals didn't defend well enough Madrid are probably the best example of doing the basics super well in that sense, they're always in the game and there's no one better at knockout football

We'd be unstoppable on the transition with Gordon, Isak and Neto

Is Tonali only missing the first 2 games? Just thinking with the Miley injury that leaves us with Bruno, Joelinton, Longstaff and Willock And that's with Tonali (allegedly) and Willock recovering from injuries over the summer, fantastic.

Looking through tweets on him, Milan fans say that Thiaw is as slow as a snail, but that Kev Kawson said he'd have registered as the 8th fastest player in the prem based on his top speed last year So no middle ground then it appears!

True, though €35m is roughly £29m, so only £9m more than we apparently want Trafford for Not saying £9m is nothing, but if we really had our heart set on him... Then there was the ITK rumours saying we couldn't assure him first team football etc... who knows

Think I said similar before, but since we apparently have some targets who we really want and will pursue and pay a premium for if need be (Livramento, Isak, Gordon are some I heard this about) I keep wondering is he really THAT keeper for us? I know we're hamstrung by FPP have just went through a nightmare to not get points deducted etc. But it's hardly a crazy fee for a potentially world class keeper for 10 years Or maybe I'm just convincing myself that our transfer team know better to ease the pain of not getting him and getting a Trafford etc 😂

Will be very sad to see him go, absolute quality when fit and glad to see he's up near the top of our all time scorers list

Yeah exactly, wish we could at least take a look for a couple months The rumours of Brighton wanting him are very telling

Read this from Liverpool fans / Twitter gossip etc so make of it what you will But all of their good/budget friendly signings that propelled them to the top (along with Klopps management too) , matip, Salah, Wijnaldum, Mane, selling Coutinho for van dijk/Allison etc etc Was supposedly done with Michael Edwards leading, and apparently he left after a power struggle with Klopp, and has just rejoined back now klopp left... And they say Klopp was the one who wanted Nunez for the fortune they paid, Diaz, didn't want to replace Henderson etc, kept the same midfield for 5 years etc etc

If we really wanted him / scouted him extensively, you'd think we'd have still got him even if paying at a slight premium Like we seemed to do with some of our current players

I know what you mean, that's why Olise was so exciting, not sure what others are like that who are out there

He was great for Dortmund in their UCL run, we struggled with him, and he was quality in the final, Dortmunds only real outlet and they dropped once he came off (he did have a couple misses in fairness) Who are you wanting for RW?

True, though a better output than Gordon before we got him, and similar to Madueke etc Definitely not the finished article, but I reckon Howe and coaching staff could develop him well.

I'd absolutely love Adeyemi for our right hand side Wonder if Dortmund would be tempted by a decent bid

Are you his agent or something, sure I see you mention him every day 😂 In all seriousness, his record looks great, fantastic numbers, but I wonder why no other club has took a punt on him yet. Never seen him myself so can't comment

Didn't realise he was 27, thought he was a few years younger than that If he's a fairly cheap Wilson replacement, I'm okay with it, though previously we've always went for younger + people we can add value to after a few years, guess we're after someone who can instantly hit the ground running

Yeah I've wondered this myself, it's a massive difference having 3 CB's at the back compared to 2 attacking full backs. And most of the defensively solid teams these days have 3 good defenders who are good in the air But with the money committed to Hall, there must be a solid plan in place

Beige is the perfect way to put it

Imagine what Howe could do with this squad 🙂

Isn't Palmer at his best at RW? Would Olise want to be on the bench? Unless they move Palmer in the middle as a 10, but having Caicedo and Fernandez behind him would get played through so easily imo

Isn't Moreno also one of their better plays too? Maybe Left back for Villa is like Left wing for us

If he did go, who do you think we'd sign as RB cover?

Aye, can't see Howe scouring the globe looking for talents who after 2 years of loans, will either be an addition to our team or a FFP flip
