Optimistic Nut

Sergei Rebrov probably deserves to be up there. £11-12m was a helluva lot then and he flopped.

I wish there was a system that we could involve both him & Gordon but it'd probably be Joelinton that you take out which takes a lot from there. The block of games we've lost at home type games to the likes of Brighton, Fulham, West Ham where we struggled to break them down, maybe?

Aye, think it lasted a few weeks before they dropped it.

13 goals & 6 assists in 1962 minutes in the league since he arrived. That's around 2/3s of a season he's been involved with over just less than 2 seasons. His output compares with anyone in his position.

They'll just get to spend another £150-200m in the summer and it'll eventually stick one year.

Two words. Tactics Truck.

To think we were worried about the left-side after the Hall injury and Barnes suspension. If anything Tino & Barnes have managed to take it up to an even higher level ever since. Brilliant partnership.

That record against the teams 5th to 10th the difference between top 4 and a title challenge. Get the 3-4 players we need in the summer and I think we will be contenders.

Arsenal going to be a 6-pointer for 2nd place when we go there.

Just read that Birmingham are building a new 62k plus stadium.

ASM, Minteh, Anderson out Barnes, Tonali, Livramento & Hall in Seems good business?

Hopefully they still have CL football and their league season is over. Saying that, they'll not want to go P4 L4 against us.

We need players on par with what the top 2/3 have. We have a handful at the minute, the more the better. Obviously it's nice to get unknown gems who we can develop, but if we have a chance to sign 2-3 proven quality and can afford it then it's a no-brainer.

So as long as they're all playing well and up for it, and Isak, Murphy & Bruno are playing shit (still disagree) but still scoring and assisting, we'll be fine.

Nah, just back into winning trophies.

Who are the less main ones? "One of the few" when all you can do is list a few who you feel haven't?

His first full season was on par with Gordon last season, and he's been better than him this year tbf.

Not sure to be honest. I could just see him being the big hitter that might go to enable 3-4 top signings. He seems in a bracket £20m or so above a group of players who I reckon could come in and do the same job. Not sure we could do it with Bruno, Tonali, Isak for instance.

In terms of PSR though, if you sold Gordon for say £80m and replaced with Cunha for £60m or whatever, it'd allow more signings? Similar to how selling ASM for £25m allowed us to go and get Barnes & Livramento.

Don't they get extra prize money just for being Man Utd basically, like they did last season?

Is that not part of the reijg around swapping Tonali & Bruno though? Get the ball to the playmaker asap and look for the runs of Barnes, Murphy & Isak? In an era where people are bemoaning Pep's tactics, we seem to have a way of trying to get the ball forward as quick as we can.

Eh? Who hasn't?

There was a video ages ago from when he played there where he says Olivier Bernard stank.
