Argentina are the only ones who have done it right. 5 15 7 19 20 6 2 10 4 16 14 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

It just means one player would be more defensively minded than Bruno currently is and would provide more cover to the back four than he now does. Bruno would then step up to do the Willock/Longstaff role/position. Ideally, we would get a Manu Kone type who is box to box like Bruno, but is comfortable and efficient doing the defensive stuff too. More cover for the back 4? We currently have the meanest defence in the league with loads of clean sheets with Bruno where he is. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Whether we need that at the current time with our results to date is another thing. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kinda my thinking - for me go for a Bruno quality attacking RM and trippier quality LB, maybe upgrade wood so we have three great forwards as well.

Couldn’t agree more. He is a total Joelinton type player under Bruce. His potential is throbbing to come out. He just needs to know Howe. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

HaydnNUFC Posted December 29, 2022 Share Posted December 29, 2022 Just a tiny bit difficult to get behind us signing Tielemans when he was absolutely dogshit against us on Boxing Day. He's better than a few of our midfielders but could we not attract/get better? I think we could. Who that is is another matter though. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Butcher Posted December 29, 2022 Share Posted December 29, 2022 Tielemans is only 25. Perfect age and is a proven PL baller. Absolute no brainer. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Prophet Posted December 29, 2022 Share Posted December 29, 2022 Tielemans is a top quality player, who like his team, has lost form under a manager who's outstayed his welcome. He tore us to shreds at their place last year. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Haha so right. I met the bloke in Alcudia last year. Remember seeing him stand out like a slapped arse in many games. My thought at the time was. Wish we had Arsenal pulling power. Now Arsenal wish they had ours. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
