Yeah I get that but what are we going for? Challenging for Europe? Mid-table mediocrity? Another struggle? Just be good to see how that changes over time.

Good idea @Ian A thread for ad hoc musings. Could become an annual season thread, like the player ones.

Brilliant so far. Can't moan at being unbeaten 🤷‍♂️

There’s…………..there’s a reason for that.

Our two best outfield players both play in the same position, so it will be interesting to see how Moyes manages that, we are certainly not in a position where we can just rotate them. Obviously one of them is going to move inside and I would...

Just spoke to a City ST holder. He bares no ill feeling towards Grealish, said he was great with the fans. He said I hope Moyes doesn’t make the same mistake as Pep and stick him on the wing, play him at 10, get him on the ball and he’ll be a...

Pretty odd analysis that. He’s 29 yrs old, TWENTY NINE!! Gueye is 36 and walked away with out player of the season last year. This age nonsense needs to be put to bed. Lad will be fit as a fiddle, whether he loses a ball or not. You’re looking...

I feel a bit sorry for him. Been let down and he will be the patsy if we have a bad start. You can get 33/1 for him to be the first manager sacked in the Premier League. Decent value that

We’ve scored only 2 goals from open play in a full preseason? Crikey.

Was this our worst pre-season in premier league history? 6 official friendlies that ended in 4 defeats and 2 draws. What other bad pre-seasons can you remember?

The club needs to get this agreed tomorrow or immediately move down the list. We cannot go into the opening fixtures with no right winger in the squad, what kind of inept strategy is that? I thought the whole idea of bringing in new people...

Yeah the issue when you leave it so late is that the selling clubs become less and less interested in selling prize assets as the season starts up for fear of not being able to replace them. This needs sorting monday/tuesday of walk away completely

I am getting Gnonto vibes the longer it drags on

I agree mate, but fear that we've become the stalking horse in this one. Everyone now knows the boundaries set by us and Southampton. Who blinks first? It looks like we won't, nor should we at the price they're holding out for. But you can see...

His manager said he wasn't in the right head space to play yesterday. So that sounds like he wants a move at least.
