We still need a LB, another CM, RW, back up ST, and another CB option before addressing that our RB options outside of Trippier are pony. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Barnes23 Posted June 30, 2023 Share Posted June 30, 2023 3 quality players in the right positions and I'll be happy. One of them though IMO really needs to be someone who possesses the creative attributes to break down low block defences Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tina Tooner Posted June 30, 2023 Share Posted June 30, 2023 Szobozlai was a perfect fit for us. Worth ethic, creativity, drive, high ceiling etc. Think its the fact hes going to a top 4 rival that annoys me the most. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dr Jinx Posted June 30, 2023 Share Posted June 30, 2023 If we aren’t in for a player and he goes somewhere else, how can we even be remotely invested in it. Something like that kid that went to PSG, that’s different as was a snub. We’re far too easily led by journos. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jaqen Posted June 30, 2023 Share Posted June 30, 2023 26 minutes ago, Kimbo said: I'm no expert on Szoboszlai, but he hasn't sounded like a middle 3 type of midfielder to me, and he's not displacing Salah. Whatever they have planned for him will be very different to what our plans would have been. If they stick to playing Trent as an inverted fullback it's more or less a 4 man midfield and would allow him to play as an attacking midfielder. Think it will be similar to how Havertz is used at Arsenal where Zinchenko moves into midfield. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

People are disappointed that a high level target is going to a top 4 rival. People will soon get over it and move on to whomever our next target is. No one is saying it’s worrying because the club aren’t shouting about our targets and no one will be saying ‘what about Szoboszlai’ when we eventually get someone in - I mean the fact the second part hasn’t even happened suggests you’ve completely made it up Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheBrownBottle Posted June 30, 2023 Share Posted June 30, 2023 It’ll be interesting to see if Tonali is the one ‘big’ signing and the rest of the budget is used for building a bit more quality in reserve, or if we’ll bring in another big money player. Can’t see it being both unless we sell. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Geordie Boyo Posted June 30, 2023 Share Posted June 30, 2023 24 minutes ago, The Prophet said: You don't think it's odd to get emotionally invested in a player who we've merely enquired about? Excitement at certain links is natural, but some seemed completely set on him. I don’t think I’ve ever seen anyone emotionally invested to a degree you seem to be fixated on. I’ve seen people share emotional disappointment, but so what? How it’s odd or weird for some people to build their hopes up isn’t for anyone to say. It suggests you know more and is quite belittling when you’ve got a lot of people on here of different ages and knowledge. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RS Posted June 30, 2023 Share Posted June 30, 2023 This is all very worrying. Reminiscent of the Ashley recruitment era. Shirley were rich enough to blow the likes of Liverpool and spurs out of the water and bad enough to threaten players families to force them here? Worrying.
