Precisely. Mentioned it in the rumours thread, but I’m all for our main target market being English talent, because the pool depth is huge. So many talented 17-21 year olds that will be dropping out of prem sides into L1/Championship that will quickly shoot back up because their technical ability is outstanding. The hard part in recruitment is getting the ones with the right attitudes that will put the effort in to maximise that ability over the years. Even outside of English, overall players in championship are good quality. Like if Liverpool are not going to bring Carvallho back into the fold next season, that’s a massive talent that’s available, before someone else in prem buys and 2 years later is valued at £70m+

When fit and confident, he’s great in that RCM role breaking into box. Issue is, he needs to be fit and confident for that, but also, that’s a very limited style of play. Not someone who’s going to drop into pockets and take ball on half turn, not going to play on left side, not going to play the deepest. So in particular games, where we need to move the ball, retain possession and do things differently, we’re restricted by having him on the pitch. Because the ball will need to be played to him in challenging zones otherwise we may as well play with 10 and jig the shape.

Feels a missed opportunity to put some sort of gap over 8th. Against bottom 2 in next 2 games. With the players coming back, I’m expecting 6 points, otherwise we don’t deserve top 7 and any form of Europe.

Should be once again a performance that tells Howe, there’s many ‘trusted’ guys that need sacking off in summer if we’re to progress.

87 mins for a shot on target then concede straight after What the fuck have we been doing on the training ground for past 10 days, specifically working on this shape to play specially against Palace and it’s seemingly been fucking wank from word go and not changed?

Not seen any of the game. What’s the consensus? Poor and off it from word go where the long break once again looks to make us worse?

Yep. Legit starting CB and RW, and if money allows, young goalkeeper who’s ready to challenge Pope. They’re the priority areas this summer. Wilson goes, a young striker too who’s capable of playing minutes if needed first season.

Derby county vibes, where like 1/3 of their points was against us.

Option C is hands down the best option. Think I said similar and a few others other month too, follow Spurs route where it can be built in two phases, with minimal impact.

Could that be because those players have not been worth it since takeover? Only been two summer windows so far, and giving the bloated squad and capacity to spend, we could target the big signings. But long term, you can’t have 20 players in a squad that all cost minimum £30m+. Just not viable unless you are established as a proper big dog. We will need to replace the proper crap/worthless squad players with better squad players. Ideally, every signing you make is to improve the XI so squad improves that way, but realistically that’s not going to be possible so need to maximise value elsewhere. Tosin in particular would be good free transfer when we want/need two CBs this summer because of the injuries. Issue with him and Kelly is the wages. If some club is willing to give them £100k+, then we will go elsewhere because we can’t be giving those contracts out unless they’re a certified banger. Think that’s what’s put us off following up soft interest in players in previous summers on a free.

Positive. Stays fit, all to gain for both parties. One, he needs and wants to perform to put himself in frame of a new deal here or elsewhere, and two, we get to rest Isak or try a different option if opposition have got Isak number.

Think 10 points would be a great return. 63 points will be enough for top 7 with our GD IMO.

The contact goes into area.

Fuck off.

COME ON

I’m not going to be satisfied with football till the day Man Utd finish bottom half in a season. Genuinely been so crap more often then not for so long now post Fergie, but always finishing like top 6 Helps when you can spend like £2bn over that time though.

Just laughable how easy Man Utd are to play through. No more solid than bottom 6 sides, just get away with it because they’ve got moment players at other end.

Love it. Hope the bald twat loses again.

Jamal Lewis was broken by Bruce. Shame he was one of the few players Howe couldn’t rescue after Bruce era, because he was a good attacking LB at Norwich.

Get Trafford back in

Pure class. Back to dominating at home, LOVE IT. Spurs will be mentally fucked coming here next season.

LOOOOOL Fuck off VDV

Not quick this time was he you wanker.

I’m sick of Barnes in this game.

That’s a blatant yellow ffs.
