Don't think this will eat much into our spending budget this summer.

 

As I understand we paid a £4m loan fee which would've all been recognised last year and the fee for the transfer is £24m (£4.8m amortisation cost recognised/year for 5 years).

 

So this will only increase our cost base by £0.8m moving forward.  Unless I the figures I read on the split between the loan fee and transfer fee are incorrect.

Think we forget the kid joined us last summer, started the season, at 18 years old..... He's going to be an absolute force this season, book it. Eddie-fit, more confidence, more physical and emotional maturity.

 

That side is going to be a nightmare to defend against with AG's runs and Lewis pinging passes and lobs

Would not have been the worst call to have put him in the England squad. Left footed full back that could potentially adapt to multiple positions mid game if you need to reshuffle.

 

Unfortunately the tournament came too early for him. 

 

Either way, Southgate's decision to take Luke Shaw is utterly baffling.

I'd argue that Southgate would’ve been better of taking Tino ahead of Trippier tbh, from what I’ve seen he looked more comfortable at LB than Trippier ever has

Agree but I'd always want at least one fit left footed full back in the squad.

I'll be annoyed if Trippier is starting ahead of Tino this coming season that's for sure.

Southgate would have just left him regardless. Probably wouldn't even make the subs bench under him.

Howe made a point of saying he’s started pre-season really well in his interview, too. Expecting big things this season.

Can't see any reason he won't start. Guess there might be some games where Kelly is preferred for all-out defence, but I expect Hall to be the main man.

Still got a nagging worry that Eddie wants a LB that will act as more of a third CB.

 

We've played a lot of really great stuff with that system so it would be hard to argue with it if he wants to keep at it with Kelly as an upgrade on Burn. If we do intend to play Hall and Tino as attacking full backs then it will require some tweaks elsewhere.

Kelly is not some stiff centre back and make shift left back that can't get forward.

 

Not sure why the clamour for Hall to start before seeing Kelly play.

 

From what I've seen of Kelly, I'd be very surprised if Hall starts ahead of him.

Remember the journalists' memo..it's not up to Eddie any more
