It’s ok they’ve not needed to spend any money because all those kids who were world class in the league cup final are now all in the team and they’ve done it the organic proper way, not just throwing 100s of millions at proven stars like the oil clubs do. Meanwhile in reality…..

Beto McNeil Alcaraz Garner Mykolenko Travers on the bench too. Would be the strongest squad we’ve had in ages.

Compared to?

Just means the media finally have another keeper to write about how they should definitely be ahead of Pickford for England. Bet Ramsdale can’t believe his luck that he’s been number 1 for Arsenal and Newcastle after some of the stuff he pulled at Bournemouth and Southampton.

AMN would be a good signing in my opinion. He’s quick, technical, and can cover a number of positions. I think he’d be one of those that would come in and make us realise how poor some of our own players are when you see someone else’s unwanted one looking a level above. He could easily be our...

It’s similar to the Arteta Pienaar Osman Baines problem. you’ll play some teams off the park at home with their technique no question but you’ll get monstered away at top opposition as they’re all quicker and stronger across the park than we would be. We can carry one one paced schemer in the...

Can’t see how both him and Mcatee join. Along with Ndiaye and Alcaraz they’re all players in a similar mould unless one can drop deeper into midfield.

Having another Garner level player on a free might not be a bad thing. If Iroehbunam goes on loan and we got Brownhill it’s swapping out one backup option that’s not ready for one backup option that would be at minimal cost. Luiz, Gana, Garner, Brownhill, Armstrong for two positions. I’d prefer...

Xhaka deal is a strange one. You’d think he’d have better offers than Sunderland even in the prem, could have seen someone like Fulham or West Ham go for him, even United. Nothing even from Saudi.

He’s alright in number 10 when the game breaks up. Don’t think he’s nailed down a starter spot yet. Some games he looks slow to the pace, others he has a good impact. .

We may need to move quickly. If Liverpool are selling Diaz to go for Isak it means Ekitike/Gakpo on the left hand side. If they can’t get Isak, Ekitike goes into the middle and they might be looking for cover on both flanks. Hopefully we can secure Fofana before someone in Mordor wants to pump...

Can’t see us getting both Fofana and Kubo. If we brought in Luiz McAtee and Fofana that would be brilliant. Pickford OBrien Tarkwoski Branthwaite Aznou Gana Luiz Fofana Mcatee Ndiaye Barry

I’m resigned to the fact that no matter how many players we buy they’ll all be injured for both derbies. It was absolutely typical last season that Ndiaye got crocked v Liverpool at home and then returned the game after Anfield.

Beto has obviously done well last season but I’’ll be amazed if the club splashed 30 mill and convinced Barry to turn down Cl football to come and sit on the bench. As soon as Barry is up to full fitness and getting considerable pre season time I think he’ll be straight in if not immediately...

Yeah tbh I think if you said to me as soon as the final ball was kicked last season that by the end of July we’d have: Got rid/not renewed DCL, Doucoure, Young, Harrison, Lindstrom, Mangala, Broja New deal for Gana Contract extension for Branthwaite No sales of star players Permanent...

If we got this over the line you’d think he’d go straight into the team. Would be very interesting to see his link up play with Ndiaye and Alcaraz.

Players probably have a high opinion of themselves as well. They may well have started the window thinking CL clubs would be queueing up. Suddenly when it’s later in the window guaranteed first team football in the PL doesn’t start looking so bad compared to warming the bench for another season.

Moyes did similar with Coleman at first playing him as a winger before moving him back. Wouldn’t be surprised if we saw the same with Patterson if injuries bite out wide.

It’s mad now that a lad with one decent season at Lyon and a kid from City who can’t make the first team are apparently such top players that they’re swerving guaranteed first team football. People might have had a point about Moyes targeting unrealistic players back in the day when it was...

We can’t just hoarde players that don’t improve us. We actually have to pay them and footballers earn a lot. We want a committed squad that will improve in ability and value over time. We don’t want an ever changing squad of mercenaries who don’t want to be here or loan players who know they’ll...
