Also Garcia sounds exactly like the kind of signing we should be making. Slightly under the radar, very good value (seemingly), right age, high ceiling etc. Trafford would be good but this guy is my preference. Wonder how Pope would take being no. 2? I guess with all our games next season our back ups will get plenty of minutes.

Tbh I wouldn't blame Guehi for running his contract down. Gets a season with Palace in the Europa which should be fun, then a big new contract at his next club. Hopefully if we go for him this summer though it's for something under 40 odd million.

I mean I'm a pessimist and even I struggle to consider us being on a constrained budget yet again. Surely we have enough money to have a good summer this time.

Not to mention it's very possible the overall financials aren't actually particularly cheap, and Eddie plans to maybe use him as second choice to Isak again. That's worst case scenario admittedly but we just don't know at this point.

Some differing views on AG but I think it's hard to deny his attitude and mentality have looked off for most of the season. Which is interesting given he reads a lot of books etc on mentality. I think there's a really good player/lad in there, and hopefully after a rest and refresh he comes back better next season. But if his head/heart isn't in it, for whatever reason, I'd sell for a good offer.

It's stuff like this that makes me doubt the club has an elite mentality quite yet. We simply have to be aggressive with our outgoings and incomings if we want to really establish ourselves among the top clubs. Sentimentality is only so useful.

He'd cost an arm and a leg now.

Semi unrelated but my wife heard Milenkovic being discussed on MNF and exclaimed, "my lengthy itch?"

They'd want too much money and his wages would be too high for what he'd likely offer us based on his performances for MU.

Tammy Abraham, Isak and Jacob. Make it happen.

I think technically he's just a bit limited, which stops him being a top top player. Very good on his day though.

Lot of copium being smoked around here. As well run as our club is these days, the powers that be still have it in them to give us a rubbish badge. I'm worried.

And he's definitely in the category of not wanting to be second choice.

There's a list somewhere online of all the free agents available this summer. I hope Mitchell is perusing that and eyeing up some potential options. Surely there are one or two.

Yeah common sense should apply when the simulation is unclear. I just think blatant diving and rolling around happens all the time and has been condoned to the point it's now ingrained in the game.
