The Prophet Posted July 14, 2025 Share Posted July 14, 2025 You'd imagine if this is a goer we'll see significant progress tomorrow. Reminds me of the Tonali deal where we moved inside two to three days to see off any competition. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
SteV Posted July 14, 2025 Share Posted July 14, 2025 These ‘super agents’ tend to get their way eventually, and secure their sweet percentage, so hopefully this Borat fella is able to leverage enough pressure on Frankfurt to get them to compromise to some degree.

The Prophet Posted July 14, 2025 Share Posted July 14, 2025 1 minute ago, jack j said: Considering everyone always wants an Ornstein confirmation then id say people are way over confident on it happening going by his patter The Athletic and Sky tend to be super cautious and go for triple verification before reporting anything. It means they're frequently behind, but usually spot on with their info. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

GallowgatePigeon Posted July 14, 2025 Share Posted July 14, 2025 I'm an Ornstien loyalist, but I'm choosing to go all in on Laurens this time. I hope to god we wrap this up quickly before Liverpool or Chelsea mobilise Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
The College Dropout Posted July 14, 2025 Share Posted July 14, 2025 Honestly resigned myself to Hugo never joining us. really liked the kid early. Didn’t believe the rumours at first. we are going to be so interesting tactically. I wonder if we go 3 at the back permanently or 4231 or some type of Villa like hybrid Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

If Joelinton is dropped for Ekitike, we'd have to make up for his athleticism somewhere else, or change the style so we can do without it I know how played 4-4-2 at Bournemouth, but just feels the 4-3-3 is our bread and butter now Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The problem we have is how going from a 3 to a 2 midfield takes away from our strongest asset in the last few years. It also doesn't then mean we have 1 of best 4 man attacks in Europe. If Howe can make it flexible to mid game tweaks without making a sub then were going to be quite the problem to deal with. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

SteV Posted July 14, 2025 Share Posted July 14, 2025 If there was ever a player to trust Laurens on, it would be a French player with PSG connections. If you look at his Twitter timeline, he doesn’t actually tweet much in the way of transfer rumours, so he must have had solid info to go in with this. He’s also a pretty well established ’proper’ journalist, so isn’t quite as much of a slave to the interaction and clicks world of SM. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you have more than one baller in your team are they just ‘ballers’, or is there a special collective noun/name? Like a group of geese is a gaggle of geese. A battery of ballers? A band of ballers?

Funny with Etikite and JP (definitely JP, don’t know Hugo so much) very good at holding it uo and linking with direct balls to their throat. Joelinton brings that. Also a presence offensively and defensively at set pieces. I think we’ll see a lot of tactical flexibility from Howe with these options. Excited to see it.
