LordJake Posted October 3, 2025 Share Posted October 3, 2025 Christ! No idea what he’s like as a midfielder but those finishes man, fucking elite! Thunderbastards, banana curlers, little dinks. Surely he’d cost a fortune Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Casey Posted October 3, 2025 Share Posted October 3, 2025 Honestly I'm surprised there's no mentions of fullbacks. I've felt the same since the season began, and now with Tino out and Hall needing lots of time management, it seems even more important. This may be the last productive season of Trips too as he's getting on. Ideally we can identify a fullback who can play both sides with a bit of pace.

Don't all Spanish players have to have a minimum fee release clause? Obviously it could be eleventy billion pounds, but technically every Spanish player is available.

STM Posted October 3, 2025 Share Posted October 3, 2025 It has to be a Bruno styled CM next. Either someone who can create goals, or score them, preferably both. Of course they also need to be technically proficient and physically robust. The more we get better, the harder it is to find players who improve us.

Of course they also need to be technically proficient and physically robust. The more we get better, the harder it is to find players who improve us. To evolve and progress we eventually need to become more an in possession side, currently it’s like 80% of our thesis is out of possession. We don’t have many players who are comfortable retaining the ball to fit in with a possession based game, going forward I’d expect our signings to all fit in with this. It feels like we are at that tipping point now, and Thiaw was actually a great start as his ability on the ball is pretty elite. Developing the team into a in possession monster will be Howes biggest test. Edited October 3, 2025 by Nine Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Funtime Frankie Posted October 3, 2025 Share Posted October 3, 2025 My dream signings would be either Paz or Yildiz or both. Paz could play the Bruno role and Yildiz as a Barnes replacement. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Both are excellent players, Paz more than Yildiz, but while Yildiz fits well into your 4-3-3 Paz cannot play in Bruno's position, he would be wasted there... he's a pure 10 and you should change your system to a 4-2-3-1 (unsustainable) or (better) to a 4-3-1-2.

janpawel Posted October 3, 2025 Share Posted October 3, 2025 Next season I want us to get the best goalkeeper available to us, and don't mind spending big here, don't want us to develop a goalkeeper tbh, rather we did development in the outfield positions. Who's the next Mamardashvili / Joan Garcia etc? With us buying Ramsey and having Joelinton, I can't see us buying an attacking midfielder tbh. The LCM for us seems to be the one who has more licence to go forward Could see us more getting adequate cover for Bruno / Tonali, Anderson would be perfect. Or maybe Miley comes on loads A full back is a must too. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unless Ramsdale dislodges Pope this season and we make him permanent. Can only see that happening if Pope gets an injury, at the moment Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
