Especially suprised by Dias, thought that was his game

We'd get battered with long balls playing Schar and Guehi

Nominated for manager of the season! What is the criteria for this? Does it include European competitions? Does it include domestic ones? I think Emery should be in with a shout if they make CL and it does factor European comps Can see Slot getting it as it everyone thought top 4 would be good for them + the Liverpool love in

I don't believe the Grealish rumours at all But if we got him, surely it would be for the LCM spot? I'm sure Pep never plays him there

Starting to think Semenyo would be a good idea for RW Big, strong, fast, great at pressing, supposed to be very 2 footed and helps defensively, and is versatile, turned 25 in January Ticks all the Howe boxes

I know what you mean. I'm kind of feeling 'all or nothing' with the keeper, don't want us to be like Chelsea have have several who we don't know who is best, don't want us to be like Man U and sacrifice shot stopping for ball playing etc... But I'd be happy for us to go big if we are confident we find our guy for the next 10 years, if not then Pope is fine. Can't say I've watched Trafford, but find it hard to believe he will be Pope's level at shot stopping, commanding area etc. There's not many super potential keepers it seems, so why aren't loads of other big clubs after Trafford if his potential is high? (could be wrong and he turns out great, he has overperformed his expected saves stat etc) Joan García looks great from YouTube clips and is wanted by Arsenal and Barca, would love him

Is Mateus Fernandes good enough to contribute now? Or would it be similar to Miley / our current CM depth where we don't really trust the bench / drop off is significant

Ha, you know what I mean 2/3 of those clubs have been linked with Guehi, if he isn't their first choice target but remains ours and they are chasing others, can't see why that wouldn't help us signing him if we indeed want him

Chelsea, Liverpool, Arsenal all wanting Huijsen... Clear path for us to get Guehi?

So links to Cunha, Semenyo, Eze If the links aren't a load of crap, then seems we want a left sided, athletic, versatile attacking midfielder then? Though feel like the Cunha link is the only legit one

Who has linked us with Semenyo?

He'd be way better under Howe or Emery than those 2 clubs, that's for sure Isak, Mbuemo, Gordon, Barnes, Delap is a quality front 5 options for 3 places that could do a bit of everything With Murphy and his peach of a right foot as 6th choice and Osula on loan, depending on what Howe thinks of him

Delap would be best with us or Villa imo Would easily get 2000 mins with us in a season. Rather than Chelsea who treat players like crap, and try to play possession style football (not to his strengths imo). And Man U where the expectations will be there right from the off, at a club with insane expectations and scrutiny from the world

No to Elanga for me, we don't need 2 pace merchants in Gordon/Elanga, we need something different at RW

Man City wanting Tino should tell you everything They think he's good enough / talented enough to win those big CL games and PL titles they will be fighting for. Amazing scouting from us again

Man U supposedly confident in getting Delap Someone I'd like here, as well as Cunha (not saying they'd both be the best use of our potential budget mind). So hope they don't win Europa in case it makes a difference to their targets

First time in this thread for me. Are people wanting them to come up or not? I do, would love the 2 derbies, adds some excitement to playing the very bottom teams Though do worry they'd injure 3 players each game 😂

Looking at our first 11, we are a GK, RCB and RW away (maybe a CM too ..) from having a team that can beat anyone on their day Then some depth up front, CM and LB for a quality squad.. I really hope we can make some improvements this summer and do something special next season, think with Howe it's possible

Merino suspended, are we expecting Rice to be injured for this too?? No Rice, Merino or Havertz would be great, Arsenal's game is being physical so this would even things up with our injuries

He's genuinely excellent 1v1 Tino and Krafth our lockdown full backs

Deffo think a loan would be best for him and us He needs to find his 'personality' on the pitch, find a way to impact games, get some intensity etc

Covering a receding hairline for sure

This makes up for the 4 Caicedo yellows

What is wrong with Willock?

His progress has been one of the top highlights of this season imo, love him as a player
