Players I'd love us to be in for based off YouTube/Twitter scouting James Trafford Josh Acheampong Marco Palesta Hugo Bueno Lamine Camara Maghnes Akliouche Antonio Nusa Mateus Mane

Thoughts on Edwards claiming we are interested in Trafford, Verbruggen and Risser? Risser is supposedly very young and inexperienced, albeit talented. Can't help but think he'd be number 2 for a while behind Pope if he came. I'm desperate for us get a keeper that starts immediately as we've been shambles there this year Trafford, I wasn't fussed by him last summer, but City fans seem more and more impressed with him as the seasons went on, some saying that they'd rather sell Donarumma if they could.. He's looked good in the domestic cups for them Verbruggen, never paid attention to him tbf, wary of anyone from Brighton. Was crap against us last week

Yeah, recruitment and the players at your disposal is the important thing Allison, VVD and Salah are arguably 3 of the best ever in their positions in the PL, plus TAA, Robertson, Mane, Firmino etc, genuine top 3 in the world players for their positions No comparison to us even if they liked to play an intense style of football

£55m on a 4 year deal wasn't he? So £13.75m amortised at the end of this season, so £41.25m left Wouldn't we be best off trying to sell him to a Saudi club for his remaining book value? Can't see any club offering much over £20m so we'd bank a mega loss

He strikes a ball well and is good at cutting in to shoot But he's limited and not good enough to start as a left winger for a team wanting to aiming top 5 each season I was also meant to say, I don't know if Woltemade would actually be proper effective in that support role, he's shown some great skill at times but also gets bullied a lot etc

I think to see the best of Woltemade, we need proper goal scoring wide players, the ones who can make runs in the half spaces, beat a man, draw players near them etc He's the type of player to enable the others around him. He's too slow, weak, and lacking the mentality to be the main force of a team Trouble is if we platform him to do this, we don't have the attacking threat from wide areas or from midfield, though Bruno has done a good job scoring this season

Good game

I don't want us to adapt to Big Nick, he's too slow and weak to truly be a long term 9 at a top end PL team.. Imo Deffo a panic buy who we didn't scout enough

Brilliant goal, looked like Mbappe for 5 seconds

I want us to keep Gordon But I wonder if the Ekitike injury will mean Liverpool join Bayern at the table 9 months out and supposedly worse than an ACL to recover from, and next season they only have Isak, Gapko and that young lad fit...

This For the last 2/3 years our top 3 players have been Isak, Bruno, Tonali To lose 2 of them + our poor recruitment last summer is a bit of a worry

Edited it for GK, but forgot about LB as well 🙄

Forgot about left back cover as well! So much needed this summer

My limited wishlist based on what I've seen, read and a bit of YouTube scouting.... Hopefully a bit reasonable Osula out - Mateus Mane in 1 winger out - Iliman Ndiaye in Willock out - Lamine Camara in Tino out - Michael Kayode in Krafth out - Josh Acheampong in Still leaves us with the following issues Strikers - Surely we need to sell 1/2 of Wissa/Woltemade before we buy another? CB's - Chelsea use Acheampong as a hybrid RCB and RB. I'd be happy with him as RB and someone very good like a tino/kayode first choice But I assume Schar goes so we'd still need another CB, ideally a starting level one so it pushes Thiaw/Botman CM - This is assuming no one else leaves, which isn't likely it seems GK - For me we need 2 as not big on Ramsdale with his price /wages, and Pope needs moving on - no idea what's best for us, but would like a very good keeper to come straight away (Kobel?)

Bruno is the heart and soul of this team, he is everything good about us amalgamated into 1 player. Can't imagine us without him

Aye we need a new contract signed before the world Cup like

Could Jackson be available for a crazy low fee this summer possibly? Chelsea doing fine without him and love to sell players, he's not good enough for a top 5 club in the world like Bayern, he seems to have moments of madness which will no doubt put off a lot of clubs, and he's barely played this season I never wanted him last season and still don't tbh, but wonder if there's an opportunity there

Aye he was highly regarded in the summer and I wished we went for him then tbh, done loads of YouTube scouting on him and looks quality Osula loaned/sold, Willock sold, and Lamine Camara and Mateus Mane in would be quality business

Twitter confident that we will be selling Tino this summer. Would Kayode be a possibility you reckon? He looks great, and a Howe player But Brentford have already bummed us with Wissa, don't fancy another rip off transfer saga. Also not sure if he'd have any better teams after him?

Not for me, we will barely have the ball so need someone better out of posession Joelinton if hes fit

Enjoyed Woltemade in the last couple of games but think he's too slow to be an 8 at a high level Fair enough as a 10, but the problem is that we always play a 4-5-1 out of possession, so he'd have to perform midfield duties / cover the left hand side

Will bulking up do anything for his strength? I don't think so. It's how he uses his body and his intelligence that will make him him strong Ekitike is also built like a toothpick but seems incredibly strong

Amadou Onana is one of the best defensive midfielders in the world when he played well, so well done Nick

Random comment here but I noticed a similar pattern with my friends/family and what I seen on social media, those who are super Brexit/Reform/Farage loving, absolutely HATED Nick Pope and genuinely thought Dubravka was a world class keeper I never understood the link but it did amuse me 😂

There is 0 time on the ball in the PL. There's been quite a few times when he gets the ball, goes to run, but is then surrounded by 2 players immediately, he's just too slow to pull away and the PL won't let him take 2/3 touches to get himself set to try and dribble past someone I really like him, for the first 2/3 months he was exciting and what I was looking forward to watching the most when we were playing crap
