Think this could finally be the big one. The summer that we land Mata or Witsel. Maybe even Moutinho
Wonder if Odjidja-Ofoe will finally get his work permit?

It certainly will be a challenge but we do have the manager who has shown he knows how to get results at difficult places.Arsenal and Spurs will surely improve next season so it’s very difficult to see us finishing top 6.
Been thinking it since the pathetic home performances against Newcastle and Fulham,with our midfield no way could we come on to organised sides and be expansive....I for one would of settled for the away approach in all games,sure the football would not been easy on the eye but with no fans in surely results counted more.We all witnessed the Alladyce tactics,many of the Silva,Koeman as well as the middle and end of the Martinez years who all served up dross while losing games. Winning just 2 of those would of put us in top 4 and a position to attract top players.I for one would of accepted us playing that way as a means to justify the end.In the end we witnessed eye gougheingly bad performances anyway,and any team be it City or Burnley play to it's strengths...Ancelotti has previously said:
1: We are best in a low block -- but he wants to play higher up the pitch
2: We are best when direct but thats not a good way to play.
Im hoping for changes...a top RB, CB and DM changes this team.
if they are going to insist on playing out from the back they need a centre half who is comfortable on the ball, which we havent had since they started this nonsense
Diaby alone is being touted for a move for £45mil and Bailey seems to be off to dortmund if/when they sell Sancho.
I think £70mil would be a bargain but more likely £100mil
Dont forget they sold Havertz and Volland last season for €90mil ish.
As @Eggs was saying earlier he looks like he could be in the centre.
I think Brands was responding to a direct question and the reporter was well aware we had been offered him.
Who knows whats true and whats not...
Well if Spurs lose Kane and bale will go back. I don’t care if they get 150mil it’s virtually impossible they replace those goals and assistsArsenal and Spurs will surely improve next season so it’s very difficult to see us finishing top 6.
Ancelotti
"We have an idea, a clear plan on how we can improve the squad. In the summer we will follow this plan. We have to put, in general, more quality in the squad to try to play more attractive football, to have more quality from the back. This is where we are working."
"More quality from the back"....
Surely a RB + CB ?
Dunno, will his horse fit in a lift?Wonder if Odjidja-Ofoe will finally get his work permit?
The lad is being hawked around Europe like a show pony .He looks like a exciting player but Ironicallythe reason we'vebeen linked with him is the reason why I think we'renot after him.
I doubt if we were actually looking to buy him brands would of told the whole world that we've been offered him. Maybe im wrong but brands has been fairly secretive about who we sign. Then to just come out in a interview and say we've been offered a player seems a bit weird if we are after him.
2 signings is not going to change much with this group. We don’t keep possession. We don’t score goals. We need 4 starters IMO. RB CB,CM,RW/forward. Back up keeper and another attacker, who has quality so if DCL or Richarlison isn’t performing he’s good enough to put them on the bench for a few weeks.We have to start understand what the clubs and their transfers are up against.
We spent £60m in the summer on 3 positions, all the clubs in the top 4 spend that on 1 player.
Unless we risk FFP and break out Usmanov, we have to be realistic and take the odd risk on players who need to take the next step.
This transfer policy worked for Moyes but Carlo can't build a team, he has to hit the ground running.
We desperately need a RIGHT BACK and RIGHT WING/ATTACK. I would be looking to spend the majority of our budget on those two positions. They instantly create balance, trust and another line of attack which makes us a greater threat.
Defensively, Holgate has hit his glass ceiling for me, so we need central defender and I would look for more experience someone like a Maksimovic who is on a free, we need more game management at the back.
