AyeDubbleYoo Posted May 24, 2023 Share Posted May 24, 2023 Haven't watched all the way through but I'm not sure I agree with the premise at the start. Because some other teams that have done well early and fallen away, that doesn't mean we were going to. Maybe those teams just weren't as good or well-managed, or they had easy fixtures etc. I'll watch the second half though. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted May 28, 2023 Share Posted May 28, 2023 Next season's ideal squad. GKs Pope, Dubravka, Karius RBs Trippier, Krafth, Ashby LBs NEW SIGNING, Targett LCBs Botman, Burn RCBs Schar, NEW SIGNING Creative midfielders Bruno, NEW SIGNING Other CMs Joelinton, Longstaff, Willock, NEW SIGNING LW NEW SIGNING, Gordon RW NEW SIGNING, Almiron, Murphy CF Isak, Wilson OUT St-Maximin Lascelles Darlow Gillespie Manquillo Dummett Lewis Ritchie Fraser Hayden Hendrick LOANS Anderson Miley Kuol Could keep St-Maximin and that means one less signing we need. Could also keep Lascelles another year if we feel Schar is good enough to be first-choice again. I've put a right-winger but I think Howe will go with Almiron and Murphy again. So I reckon we'll get 4-5 signings. First choice left-back Cover for Bruno First-choice CM Left and/or right winger depending on what we do with Maxi, Murphy and Almiron Centre-back if Lascelles goes.

NUFC Posted May 28, 2023 Share Posted May 28, 2023 Theres no way we can do the whole season in 4 competitions playing Tue/Wed every week with two strikers man @Optimistic Nut (bit rop optimistic you could say), probably need 4 strikers. Id also say thanks for your service and peddle Murphy, dont think he's a top half PL player. I thought Karius was already confirmed as going so would need a new backup/third choice keeper unless Darlow/Gillespie are happy to stay. Would Gillespie class as home grown for the club btw? Would also let Almiron go if we got a decent offer for him Id send Ashby on a 6 month loan as unlikely he will play apart from maybe FAC or LC as he will be 3rd choice RB.

There's a good chance that an inside left or right will be able to play up front if need be. Getting a 3rd quality striker literally happy just to play the odd game is going to be hard. Far more likely an Ekitike (not him but that sort of profile). Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
andycap Posted May 28, 2023 Share Posted May 28, 2023 I think Edwardo will keep the following Popey Dubravka Gillespie (hg) Tripps Krafth Schar Lascelles Botman Burn Ashby Anderson (hg) Bruno Longy (hg) Big jo Little jo Flash Miggy Jacob Maxi Isak Wilson Dummett (hg) Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

andycap Posted May 28, 2023 Share Posted May 28, 2023 So looks like a leftback and a centre mid are the priorities with maybe a gifted winger if we can get one that can play up top aswell. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

andycap Posted May 28, 2023 Share Posted May 28, 2023 I'd just bring krul back he'd comeback I believe as second or third choice. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, it makes sense why Howe probably wants Dummett to stay because otherwise we'd be short by 2 in that department Krul/Forster as 3rd choice covers one Can't think of anyone else we can get that's decent enough to contribute Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
