So, if this guy does leave for Man City or Real Madrid, I'll be fine. Hope he doesn’t go to anyone else in the Prem, that would be too cruel Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr.Spaceman Posted April 7, 2024 Share Posted April 7, 2024 If he goes to Real it'll be fine. I don't think we're ever going to be a club that's more attractive than them. As long as he doesn't go to Manchester, London or Liverpool I'm fine with that. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think we wanted to transition to 4231 type style this season but injuries and a suspension stopped it. I don't buy that Tonali was merely a Longstaff like for like positionally upgrade. In the past, he's used 4-4-1-1 a fair bit too. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
joeyt Posted April 7, 2024 Share Posted April 7, 2024 What's the opinion on giving him the captaincy? It would go against everything Howe has done previously with the leadership group of Burn, Trippier, Lascelles, Wilson and Ritchie. But he's quite clearly the heart and soul of the team but may cause some friction which we've avoided so far within the group Would be harsh on Trippier too but if we're building a team around anyone it has to be Bruno (or Isak who isn't really captain material yet imo) Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Smal Posted April 7, 2024 Share Posted April 7, 2024 2 hours ago, Shak said: Who would be the perfect third midfielder to play at LCM with Bruno and Tonali in our 4-3-3? You're not allowed change to a 4-2-3-1, gotta be in the system we've seen that Eddie wants to play. Obviously he needs a lot more development but in terms of profile Miley is the right kind of player to play with those two imo. Let Bruno and Tonali do the bulk of the defensive work and Miley is there to play the final pass in more of a Maddison role. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

buzza Posted April 7, 2024 Share Posted April 7, 2024 I would prefer to move Bruno further up the pitch and get a defensive midfielder "a la Rice" who can also play good progressive football. A right midfielder, centre back and striker would hopefully push us up into top six/champs league contention. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dr Venkman Posted April 7, 2024 Share Posted April 7, 2024 I think a lot of us are understandably scarred by past approaches to selling players and also the way players saw the club. That’s not the case now though, we’re a legitimate club challenging for CL places. Yeah, we’ve had a down year, but it’s not like we’ve been in a relegation fight. Players who like being here aren’t necessarily going to be desperate to leave because of one season of terrible luck. As long as we’re ambitious we have a good chance of retaining him.
