Unfortunately I fear James' knees won't be able to cope with the wingback demands now (maybe once in a while, but not consistently) and I'm not particularly convinced Gusto can give us an attacking output that we'd need in that position (maybe as a backup). Hato would for sure be better as a LCB in a back 3, probably also a back 4 tbh (two left footers can work there if we do the back 3 in possesion thing Maresca did) so recruitment needed there for sure. Quenda could do really well there. I know there were the rumours he avoided United/Amorim because of that, but Amorim uses his wingbacks really conservatively whereas Alonso feeds them really well, Frimpong and Grimaldo were genuinely amazing under him, so that may be able to convince him.

I’d imagine James & Gusto will be more than sufficient on the right side regardless of the system. Left side is going to be the big issue though because we will really need to replace Cucurella who is likely off & decide whether Hato is going to be better suited to playing as a LB, LWB, LCB - again all depending on the system. Lewis Hall seems to be mentioned a lot this week. The Barco deal is also sounding like a formality. Both players who are versatile. For CBs - I would say at least one quality centre back will have to come in either way given the collection we have. I’d like us to get 2. If we go to a back 3 I think we would probably need to get 2 CBs in then anyway given the likelihood that players like Badiashile & Tosin are probably (& deservedly) goners & you will need to have options. Maybe we could get away with Fofana being put in as that right handed CB in a back 3 but still wouldn’t trust him in a pair. Granted our options will be limited. Plus still have serious doubts the recruitment will be any different to how it has been so we will see.

I wouldn't. I don't care who the manager is or who we sign; we need as many chances for CL football as possible. I'll keep banging the same drum as well - finances. Can we really afford as lavish summer window with no European football or without selling one or two major stars (Enzo & Palmer probably the most likely)?

I'd rather end up outside the European places. This squad hasn't had a rest in years

Europa would be fine. Conference league would be bad

Hard to really think about the market until I know which system Alonso wants to play. If he's sticking to a back 4 a CB is an urgent need, if he's going back 3 then wingbacks are the priority.

Roberto De Spursy ha ha

Put Talksport on now via Youtube, absolute classic Cundy v O'Hara

Better Brighton's result on Sunday (their GD is 9, ours is 7). If they win, four teams will be vying for that Conference place. The dilemma is Villa & Palace in their respective finals. I'm sure there will be a knock-on effect to European places in the PL.

A club can opt out of the Conference League if they choose to, right? There is no way on Earth we should be playing in that again if it comes to that. It could destroy our season under a new manager having to juggle all that travel and rotation and injury risk. At least the Europa League is a decent level for some of our fringe and squad players to get minutes and experience in. What do we need to do to get Europa?

I would love to see Spurs go down, I would love to see us get European football. I would love to see these players sprint like that every fucking game.

fuckers can still go down and we can still get a decent Europe spot so well played all in all

Yayyyyyy a winnnnnnnnnn So as it stands we've won 14...lost 13...🤣 what a season

garnacho =

Delap was trying to hurt him there, little bit lucky its just a yellow, had eyes only for the man. Always too much of a pussy to try to win by strength, he's got to cheat instead.

Delap is a clumsy footballer

I am quickly getting sick of CuCu and his stupid antics

super block by Hato

Nah we play either first half well and second bad or other way round Chelsea have conceded in 15 consecutive Premier League games and are without a clean sheet in the league since mid-January

Fair to say we haven't seen a good 90-minute performance all season I think

I just don't understand how he was left by himself. There will be a fourth in this game

CuCu turnover leads to a goal again

Boooo

fuckkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkk
