Now we can understand why Szobo and Maddison were not gonna be signed, they are mostly playmakers. Howe wants a lot of running/intensity on the midfield and on the wings, that's why he chose Barnes and Tonali. 

I’m not sure Barnes was true target over Maddison and Szoboszlai, just more attainable

He’s a boyhood Leicester fan come good, who won the cup with them, you’d definitely be gutted for him to leave. 
 

So that’s him and Tonali, any other hometown hero’s we can rip away from their adoring public :lol:

LB and a CB/RB would be good now.

 

RW would be a bonus.

Needed to upgrade RW for about 6 windows now. Guess we see Gordon being able to play there.

 

can’t see another winger coming in. Partly why this is underwhelming. Gonna be another season of mostly Almiron down the right with his one foot

If Eddie wanted Maddison as a priority we would have signed him last season.  I don't think Maddison fits into our system.  Barnes does and is less injury prone.

We've got Buble in the middle

So, it's going to be Gordon, Murphy, Barnes and Almiron on the wings?

 

That's a big contrast with the level of the midfield with Tonali, Bruno and Joelinton.

 

Unless Gordon develops into something we haven't seen yet, the midfielders will have to score a good amount of goals to make the team competitive.

I’d rather have miggy down the right than a singer ?

barnes and Almiron hit like 20+ between them last season…Joelinton and willock combined for like 10?

each one of them is going to score at least 7 in the league I reckon.

 

you’re also missing little Joe who will play there at times and I can see him getting 5+
 

Isak and Wilson 15 each.

 

there’s 63 goals before you get to the midfield trio, defenders and the odd one or two from the rest of the squad

Willock will be very unlucky not to play a lot of minutes, he was amazing. 


The Big Joe / Little Joe Combo ain’t going away either imo. It’ll be used situationally.

Taking it well…

 

“The absolute ****ing indignity of losing a player of his calibre - or ANY player - to a club like Newcastle, even without their disgusting owners - should encourage us to pursue legal action against Everton, Man City and then the Premier League. The whole criminal enterprise needs tearing down.”

Bit fed up hearing about Barnes being some super goalscorer too. He got 2 more than miggy last season and the season before he got 6. 
 

he’ll get my support of course but some people are falling over themselves to convince themselves he’s class. He’s a decent premier league player. Nothing more 

 

that being said I hope I’m wrong of course
