Not convinced he’d be a great short term signing, long term possibly but if we sign anyone this window I want them to be someone who makes a big difference to us finishing top 4 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

That would greatly help the top 4 push. Agreed that his end product would be better but he has to come, bed in, work in our system and do all the pressing and defensive work Longstaff does. He’s definitely not a bad option but I think if we go for someone they have to be top tier Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

He’s definitely not a bad option but I think if we go for someone they have to be top tier I think he can do all the pressing and defensive work Longstaff does - minus winning headers. At least, he has the physical capacity for it. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kanji Posted January 1, 2023 Share Posted January 1, 2023 Gallagher would be a good as they come in terms of a Longstaff Replacement. Still want us to sign a more creative midfielder to help break down teams that will be defending well. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Conjo Posted January 1, 2023 Share Posted January 1, 2023 Don't really know what players we're able to get and not right now, but if I could choose two I thought maybe would be semi-realistic albeit expensive, I'd go for Amrabat & Mudryk to increase our chances of remaining within the top 4.

No point in getting into champions league and it crippling us so we finish 9th next season. Best to build and get into Europa or conference league for starters. A tournament where you can play younguns or second string and if you have a good run so be it. I’m so glad the club doesn’t have this mindset.
