The more I think about the more I think it's a shame we didn't get Trafford in. A year or two working alongside both Pope and Ruddy would have surely been positive for his development.

 

 

We would have got him in but once we had to take the Forest keeper as part of the Anderson deal that put it on the backburner.

Nearly a million followers so maybe legit. I wouldn’t be against another CM personally. We lack depth in quality imo.

I really want a legit option to play in the 6 position, behind Bruno. Probably one that is a bit more defensive minded too.

 

It looks like that's what this guy is, as this was posted earlier today. Won't be a big fee either. Probably similar to the Osula deal, if that much.

Not sure what the reason is, but the midfield looked disjointed last week even with 11 men, and it was a similar story for large parts of last season as well. I'd like to think it's because Tonali was missing, but truthfully we had the same problems when he was playing.

Low cost low risk, what’s not to like.

Breaking news that we could make an offer for a player? Groundbreaking stuff

[Matt1892]

Maybe Longstaff will be moved on in the final week.

[Colos Short and Curlies]

Does anyone ever buy a decent backup keeper?

 

Its seems more like they get a young keeper who comes good or they buy a first choice and the previous number 1 drops down

I don’t see Eddie wanting to let Longy go.

Man City is pretty much the only one I can think of, maybe Liverpool as well. But I don't know how they came to be at the clubs.

Bought from a relegated and relatively small Bundesliga club and youth product respectively.

It’s not always about what we currently need most, this management seize the opportunity for the right player at the right time they are available. Obviously we have a list of priorities in terms of positions to strengthen but you can’t work your way from top to bottom on the list all the time, if this player is rated by us and is available on the right deal it absolutely makes sense to move for him.

 

Its as important to think mid-long term as it is to think in the right here right now.

The "could" doing a helluva lot of heavy lifting there 

 

Edit to add: It literally is just basing it off the spanish-language tweet that was posted two pages back.

Totally agree with this - there was talk of a “project player” - we simply don’t have a natural 6 in the squad, so fills that void - build him up over time - a nice alternative

Longstaff, Schar, Burn will get extensions.

That conjures up an image of 3 lasses down the quayside

Getting to squeaky bum time.

 

Other clubs are starting to speed up.

The next week or so in the market is going to be bedlam.

Kepa would be immense but way too good to be backup. 

Kepa crisp packet hands? Seriously questioning your GK judgement

Think this is going to be the maddest window for a while. Not completely sure why, maybe the PSR (and Chelsea). 

[Shak]

Ideal world we move on Longstaff and get a CM with a bit of versatility in.

 

Longstaff is basically just gonna be Tonali's backup you'd imagine, someone who can play a couple of spots would be more useful. Even a DM, with Bruno occasionally being used further forward.

 

Doubt it'll happen though.

[AyeDubbleYoo]

Think you auto win the league if you have 2 Brazilians, an Italian and an Argentine in midfield.

I actually genuinely love Longie but think the major issue with him is he’s usually only his best with Bruno and when he’s playing in his 8 role. He’s quite poor as the 6 under Howe. We are better off with getting a backup 6 and using Miley to play backup.

Without looking it up that must be over £25m in wages, not counting Schar who should be extended. It’s an incredible reset opportunity.

 

I’d be in no rush to extend anyone else unless we know we can get a fee for them.
