If Paqueta signs then the budget must be about £200m, given that priorities surely lie elsewhere.

 

Obviously he’s a huge improvement on what we have - but there’s huge improvements that could be made pretty much everywhere.  LB, RW, CF - and CB - still look like areas in need of more attention to me.  No complaints if we strengthen all of them, mind.

 

After a decade and a half, you forget what it’s like to have the club actually targeting strengthening positions rather than back-of-fag-packet calculations on resale proftivs

Which isn't out of the FFP realm. Those numbers could work.

It may be tactically naive, but I'd rather have a full on AM in the midfield three than ditch Targett for more creativity from LB. It's not absolutely essential to play 4-3-3 in the same way as Liverpool.

 

Just on the list of realistic wide forwards available in 2023 but I do not see why Rashford would not be "realistic" for us now.

On the basis of performanes last season, I'd be more than happy with this starting 11.

 

                    Dubs

Trippier Schar Burn Targett

            Bruno Joelinton

              Cannibaga

   Almiron  Wilson     ASM

 

I'd climb a mountain for Cannibaga and we have our St.Bruno to help us.

Need someone better than Miggy as much as like him 

I don't disagree, just saying I'd be happy with that.

 I imagine it would look like this in attack

 

                               Dubs

                 Schar    Burn       Targett

                              Bruno

Trippier Almiron Cannibaga Joelinton ASM

                             Wilson

Yeah prob 2 at that position 


Honestly think (not saying one window either), we need a new number 1 striker (can't count on Wilson to be on the pitch), left and right wing players, number 10/attacking midfielder, defensive midfielder, centre half and left back. That has to happen imo, to really push onto the next level, which I'm pretty certain the owners will provide for, in the next few windows coming up.

I just think starting the season with that 11, will keep the momentum going  from last season and I wouldn't be worried. I do hope we'd have better in reserve and if those players are primed to take a first team place in the near future, all the better. 

I'm setting my sights low, but I'm sure they'll be surpassed.

Bit more like it, still a massive question mark on Max stepping up (would not be surprised if he's sold) and I would have a defensive midfielder added also.

Need to aim higher, I'm sure the owners (and Howe) will be looking for that also. PIF won't accept staying stactic (at best).

I wouldn't sell him but I'd be happy if we got both Targett and Lodi, with Lodi given the opportunity to challenge ASM as well as Targett.

I'm hoping to see similar discussions that surrounded Bruno delayed introduction. 12 consecutive wins from the start of season and Diaby can't oust 11 time MOTM Almiron from the first team would suit me fine.


Big difference is Bruno was only introduced gradually due to timing. Players coming in now will have a preseason to integrate.

Got nowt to do with my aims. W should aim as high as possible and if any new signings aren't quite ready to start then there is no need to put them under extra pressure. It's a lot to ask a new signing to hit the deck running after one pre-season. With Cannibaga I don't think there'll be much of a issue.

I've been addicted to CIV 6 for the past month so everything is being perceived in that context. Cannibaga, would be like settling a new city, right in the middle of all your religious cities, his relationship to Bruno, and Bruno's relationship with the others. but all the other transfers are going to be like conquered cities. Need to spend a bit of time repairing the granaries and monuments., before they start to contribute to your growth.

                             Wilson

When we're attacking like this it allows ASM and Trippier the freedom to take chances, as they have Almiron and Joelinton who can press any counter attack in the space that they leave behind. It might be risky but risky is exciting.

Sorry totally disagree that team you selected will not take us to the next level. I think the owners take the same view as me as we will see.

Mate who the fuck is Cannibaga

 

On the basis that google only gave me two hits, from this forum, on posts by stan, I'd guess that he is on a covert op troll operation :lol: 

 

10/10 for coming up with a name that sounds like a fantastic footballer though.
