He was too isolated far too much last night, I noticed in the second half, Wood wasn’t as isolated as much and with Murphy and Willock on we got lots of bodies forward in support. Just a shame Wood is bang average! We desperately need another CF.

Paqueta in our team last night and we win, a player like him would help massively with our midfield and attacking issues which are intertwined. If we signed him alone only, I’d be extremely happy!

I'd be surprised, or even amazed if Fraser has that kind of season again, or even near. I don't think it's possible for him, physically. Not that you said it, i'm just saying.

Aye I'm more thinking Almiron tbh, going off this pre-season, but I do think Fraser can contribute a lot next season.

 

I doubt either will hit 21 goal contributions like.

Wilson will be sharp when it actually starts getting serious i think. Think he is holding back now even.

Be interesting to know where is fitness is, he’s been training on his own at times throughout pre season.

There are obviously gaps all over the squad, so I'm not saying this is a priority, but I wouldn't mind some of these left sided midfielders we've been linked with, especially if they can be versatile and play on the other side too.

 

We talk about Wilson being injured so striker is a priority position (agreed), but St Max has a few spells out too. Nowhere near as long, but on the other hand, in addition to that he has little patches of poor form too, or playing when carrying knocks.

 

On the right, Trippier is arguably better going forward than in defence, and can pose a threat from the right to partly make up for weaknesses there.

 

But on the left, Targett is primarily a defensive LB, so without St Max you'd wonder where the threat comes from on that side. Cover on the left is maybe a luxury we can't afford yet, I'm just saying there is a risk with an over-reliance on Maxi.

 

Especially if he tries to reverse park and scratches Eddie's car.

Anything less than 2 out of a RW, ST & CM would be a failure imo.

i agree :thup:


I feel the same way tbh. And before anyone gets started that’s not a critique of everything else the owners have done which has been spot on. But I really feel that in order to keep the momentum of positivity from last season a couple of attacking additions would be really helpful.

Let's hope for something today. I don't expect much, just enough to wet my beak.

 

Get the feeling you may be disappointed. Not saying things aren't happening, more that it's a much tighter ship now. Don't think we will hear about the next deal till it's almost done and the player is on their way up for a medical.

Same, I feel if Wilson gives it 100% he risks an injury, as we've seen the last couple of seasons. In a preseason friendly, it's just not worth the risk for him to go all out in such games.

Almiron is the form player right now so Howe needs to make a call on whether this can translate into PL performances.

 

if he does think that then got to go all out on a striker.

Eh ??????

 

 

 

We have Wilson and we desperately need back up (or someone to challenge him) ?

 

So if Miggy is your answer for RW ….what happens if Miggy gets injured ? 


We need both , 

 

Miggy has had multiple seasons to shine and he hasn’t ….if he improves …great 

 

however we can’t rely on him - No chance 

 

We still look lightweight and lack firepower / goals from the front 3

There is absolutely 0% chance that is even remotely accurate. The fee and the wages would be beyond anything we have seemingly been willing to go to so far.

 

His release clause is only €1 billion.
