Great minds…

[Guest HTT II]

Isak, Pedro and Gallagher would be outstanding business!

[Guest HTT II]

I think we are in for a more defensive midfielder though…

Depay? Pjanic?

 

That's assuming it's an attacking player ofcourse, could easily be on of 20 odd players. Vague as vague can be.

I would say either Dest or Depay (before we decided to go for Isak as I cannot see both coming) if that is true.

That fucker was saying we only had 20 million to spend up front last week. He is one I certainly take no notice of when it comes to info

Watching Edwards flail about this window like a fish out of water ha been one of the best unintended consequences of the takeover. Hopefully he’ll fuck off the NUFC beat and become womens football correspondent for The Guardian.

Oh God hell aye. Is Gallagher a CM? I thought he was a number 10 type player?

Not one journalist has a clue what's going on, it's fantastic.

Ornstein still on it like a car bonnet. God status.

Hope so. Alvarez from Ajax would be perfect but probably out of our price range if we're forking out £60m for Isak and ~£30m on Pedro.

[The Prophet]

So it looks like we have our first choice centre back (Botman), midfielder (Bruno) and striker (Isak). Next summer we go again for our first choice winger in Diaby?

I wouldn’t have a clue who he is, but I think Howe wants Bruno to be more offensive and Joelinton to be kind of similar to how he has been for us, a destroyer, but somoene he can rotate positionally left, centre or right or even up front. We need a specialised DCM and I’ve been saying it for a while.

I was thinking Pedri or Fati

Judging from his performance against Leeds he is much better as an 8 or 10. He's not a 6 I wouldn't say. But in all honesty if we're getting a midfield player as well as Pedro (who can play 10) it needs to be a deeper Shelvey/Bruno position player. If Bruno gets injured before Shelvery comes back we are seriously lacking in that area.

Fully agree. Just that Alvarez fits that bill perfectly. I wanted us to get Kamara before Villa got him for the same reason.

Just recall Hayden from Norwich.

Haidara please for DM

Gallagher would be amazing. Trying to think where that would rank our midfield in comparison to the rest of the league? Can't be many much better other than City?

Longstaff can fill in. I think he can pretty much cover all CM positions adequately.

This transfer bath was already warm; now someone’s thrown a boiled kettles  worth of water into it.

So why is the only bid for an actual midfielder, been for an attacking one in Maddison?

We put that bid in before Shelvey got injured and he’s a right sided attacking midfielder which for all we know, we may still be after that type of player. A manager can change his thoughts around tactics, style of play and what’s the best system going forward you know…
