Amazing turnaround from being a joke signing of the decade as a striker, to an international Brazilian midfielder no less. He epitomises everything good about us, gives 100% every game, and he's a lot better footballer than he gets credit for as well. You can't operate out wide without having some ability.

Tiotes Witch Doctor Posted April 9, 2024 Share Posted April 9, 2024 It's easy to sometimes criticise his lack of technical ability, but jesus Christ we've missed him so much this season, it's going to be amazing to have him back, we've missed his work rate, his shit housery and his aggression in midfield, nobody else offers quite what he can.

Just imagine reading this post 3-4 years ago, knowing it's written in 2024. A scared striker becoming an aggressive midfielder. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yorkie Posted April 9, 2024 Share Posted April 9, 2024 Him at Sunderland is one of my favourite individual performances of the season. Him and Bruno that day. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cf Posted April 9, 2024 Share Posted April 9, 2024 Get this confirmed and have Isak and Bruno go on the record along with the club saying that they aren't going anywhere this summer and all of a sudden the summer window looks much brighter. At that point our main focus becomes RW/CB which hopefully we've got enough funds for. Get those sorted and I think our squad is fine for a non-CL season.

Absolutely no chance we can go into another season with Isak and Wilson as our two orthodox striking options, it's a disaster waiting to happen given their fitness records.

Or we get a cheaper backup striker to replace Wilson. But given the prices of good quality strikers, the need for CB/RW, and the limitations of FFP (especially if we don't sell Bruno or Isak) then I think our options might be limited.

Guybrush Posted April 9, 2024 Share Posted April 9, 2024 (edited) So, this looks like good news... what's the catch? Have both of his ACLs ruptured during negotiations? Edited April 9, 2024 by Guybrush Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
aussiemag Posted April 9, 2024 Share Posted April 9, 2024 We need to move on Wilson, Miggy, Almiron and Targett. Sign a CB, a first choice LB, a first choice RW and a striker. Would ideally like another press resistant midfielder. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Definitely happier as a fan with all these players potentially staying. However, don’t we need a few sales (or a high-profile sale) to balance the books this summer? Seems my understanding of our FFP situation but could be wrong. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
TBG Posted April 9, 2024 Share Posted April 9, 2024 Not much else has changed, but In an alternate universe, big Joe has just signed his new contract and we're going into the new season with this Dubs Murphy Schar Lascelles Dummett Longstaff Hendrick Hayden Almiron Joelinton Ritchie A 1-0 away defeat to Man City is still seen as embarrassing.
