KaKa Posted October 29, 2022 Share Posted October 29, 2022 Quote But they never wanted Hollywood signings and still don’t – to the extent that it was no surprise when senior sources laughed off a link with Cristiano Ronaldo this week. They would prefer players yet to hit their peak who can train on under their astute coaching staff. I can't tell you how glad I am about this bit. It's going to make this all so much more enjoyable, as we should end up with a group of players we can really enjoy getting behind. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Our club has been shite for so long, I'd take what we have now forever. Obviously I'm half joking, but I mean its pretty good being canny decent.

It's going to be a very fun ride. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

This part has been essential, for all the criticism we get of spending big, how many of the players we've bought were being chased by the big 6, we didn't spend big we spent smart Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

toontownman Posted October 29, 2022 Share Posted October 29, 2022 Do we think Howe will be giving World Cup players time off to recover? Could be an issue going into the Christmas fixtures and out the other side. Would be good if we have a couple of players lined up to come in as soon as the window opens. At this point it is likely the players coming in would also have played at the WC though. The final is 8 days before we play Leicester so maybe that is enough?

Get another top class midfielder first I think a quality winger who can play either right or left is still important if anything to cover for injuries or give another option off the bench.

sempuki Posted October 29, 2022 Share Posted October 29, 2022 Hope they can persuade the Chairman to go for it in January. Diaby and Maddison would be nice. They might make the bench if they are lucky the way we are playing. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think it’ll be at least one quality signing though. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

STM Posted October 29, 2022 Share Posted October 29, 2022 Unless it's the perfect player, at the perfect price, there's no reason to get silly. I agree with the above, if we can get a couple of talented youngsters who can start driving up the standard of our bench, I think that would be great. I think Maddison will sign, but it might be in the summer. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
nufcjb Posted October 29, 2022 Share Posted October 29, 2022 My wish for Christmas is that we can sign reliable and similar quality backup for our vital players namely: Pope Trippier Botman Joelinton Bruno ASM Wilson When do we get the backup in, is anybody's guess. But I fear whoever we have as backup to these players now, aren't at the same level. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nine Posted October 29, 2022 Share Posted October 29, 2022 Yeah no need to go spending silly amounts in Jan when we seemed so well oiled at the moment, everyone settled and happy. Think we might see 1 first teamer and 1 younger prospect come in. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
STM Posted October 29, 2022 Share Posted October 29, 2022 We should also look at it as an opportunity to replenish the coffers. If someone like Everton comes in for Wood, Murphy or Fraser, move them on and reinvest in some youth. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pokerprince2004 Posted October 29, 2022 Share Posted October 29, 2022 (edited) You guys think Bellingham is a possibility or are we still not established enough to maybe tempt him?
