Coincidentally I never saw anyone advocating for playing him out of position him in midfield until Howe tried it, and besides, it was done out of necessity due to a red card.

AyeDubbleYoo Posted August 23, 2024 Share Posted August 23, 2024 I thought Joelinton would make a great CM, but I wasn't brave enough to post it. Probably my biggest forum regret. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Whitley mag Posted August 23, 2024 Share Posted August 23, 2024 Coming to the conclusion where either going to play a blinder here and end up with Guler on loan and a top CB, or we’ve literally put all our eggs in one basket and end up with nowt. If the latter happens the shit will hit the fan as we still look short in my opinion, stand still and you go backwards in this league, big pressure on Eales and Mitchell to pull something out the bag here.

Heron Posted August 23, 2024 Share Posted August 23, 2024 (edited) Tin hat here - but I don't really feel that arsed about new signings personally yi kna. I actually think we'll have a much better season for being out of Europe and with Tonali back and hopefully a fit bill of health across the squad I reckon we'll do some damage flying under the radar. What fucks me off more is the absolutely farcical FFP/PSR/whatever new fucking acronym they've made up to prevent us competing financially is thrown up and at us and also the fact we're having to consider the potential of moving from SJP simply to maximise revenue to get around said acronyms ASAP. Soul feels like it's gonna be sucked from the club and we're not even gonna bear the fruits of allowing that to happen. Football is so fucked in this country man. Disgraceful.

AyeDubbleYoo Posted August 23, 2024 Share Posted August 23, 2024 I won’t be devastated if we don’t get players in but it would be very strange to have a summer window without b improving the team. Can’t deny that’s a negative. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nobody Posted August 23, 2024 Share Posted August 23, 2024 I'm at the stage now where I don't give a fuck if we sign someone or not. Reckon our team is perfectly capable of a top 5 finish as it is, if we manage to stay fairly injury free. Pope Livra Schär Burn Hall Tonali Bruno Joelinton Murphy Isak Gordon Dubravka Trippier Krafth Kelly Targett Longstaff Miley (pick one) Willock Almiron Wilson Barnes That's two really good starting elevens under Howe, and that's not even counting Botman and Lascelles, and we've finally got a young back up for when Wilson is out.

Fezzle Posted August 24, 2024 Share Posted August 24, 2024 Totally agree with heron and nobody, probably why the relentless misery of certain posters greatest so much.

I think you raise some good points particularly about injuries. I mean jokes aside Tonali is like a new bloody signing 😂. We do have a good squad but the RW and R CB areas remain quite weak in terms of quality (RW) and depth (R CB). Also evidence always presents itself that teams who don’t strengthen tend to stand still. I still think we’ll make some signings but failing to bring anyone in this window be extremely disappointing for me. I suppose what I’m also saying is more games with Krafth, Miggy, Murphy, Longstaff playing this season playing this season limits our chances of a top four finish. Tonali coming in improves the midfield, new signings would address the other areas. Edited August 24, 2024 by ExiledGeordie Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Heron Posted August 24, 2024 Share Posted August 24, 2024 (edited) Have to remember that last season we only finished 8 points from 4th in a season where we had key players out all season. Just had a look and if we scored around 6 more goals across 4 or 5 fixtures we'd have been 4th. Fine margins really. With Tonali back and certain positions bolstered from a squad perspective (albeit not the first 11 being improved upon) I feel we have a healthy chance of being in with a shout of top 4. My expectancy is between 4th and 7th but I really do think we're capable fo top 4 if we gather momentum. We really need that siege mentality though and w should absolutely have it, we're being dicked by shite rules that restrain us. That first game was horrific refereeing and we won a game with 10men in the PL after playing for 65mins with one less man. Tonali will be huge for us I reckon too.
