RS Posted August 24, 2022 Share Posted August 24, 2022 3 hours ago, RS said: People thinking our new back-room set up is going to go all “sunderland ‘til I Die Griggs purchase” in the last week? I’m sure there’s deals for players nobody has a fucking clue we’re after quietly being done. I’m expecting a few surprises over the next few days. (Isaaks here yet?) Alright I slightly edited it.

Minhosa Posted August 24, 2022 Share Posted August 24, 2022 If we get Isak AND Pedro, what does that do to our squad numbers? We must have to shift loads to get it under the 25 limit surely? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

We have to bring him here as well. If he goes there, IF, then it’s because we don’t want him. I can live with that based on the success our management have shown so far.

Fuck @Flip as well for leading us down the garden path. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Emotic Posted August 24, 2022 Share Posted August 24, 2022 Given that Hudson-Odoi is going to Leverkusen, I predict that Moussa Diaby will rock up at St James by next week, completely out of the blue... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

54 Posted August 24, 2022 Share Posted August 24, 2022 Pedro and Isak would be a great end to the window tbf, maybe a cheeky loan for Pulisic too. Would like a new CM, but that's just the cherry. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
elbee909 Posted August 24, 2022 Share Posted August 24, 2022 My only reservation re Paqueta would be if Brazil call up too many of our players at once. Too many eggs in one Brazil basket Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lush Vlad Posted August 24, 2022 Share Posted August 24, 2022 Pedro, Isak and a CM on loan, or someone a bit cheaper as a bit of a squad player, even. Then it has been some window. I still worry we are light at CM. Unless he really thinks Anderson is ready and he sees him playing in place of Willock/Joelinton at times, or he thinks Almiron can fill in. Then I think we are really light. Longstaff isn't good enough to be starting regularly and Bruno is the only one that can play that deeper role effectively.

Would really like us to be able to get Bruno out of the deeper role, at least in some games. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was talking to @Lennythe other day, and he mentioned that arguably Almiron has all the tools to do the role Willock tends to be asked to do, and it would free him of the burden of having to finish.
