If we were to sell Conor we would have to replace him with someone like Ederson from Atalanta. I’ve been watching a lot of Serie A this year and he looks like exactly who we want Conor to be. High pressing but very technical. And he’s over 23 so moving into the best years period of his career.

That’s a great transfer for them would love him here.

If you ever see me fighting in the forest with a grizzly bear, help the bear!

I think he’s actually a far better keeper than what he’s shown so far and as he continues to play will continue to grow. The biggest thing is the it feels like the team feel more secure with him in goal especially with the ball at his feet.

This just looks so much more coherent than what we do at the moment. I like this breakdown. I swear we are the only "big" team that doesn't play in triangles and diamond pass formations, it's all individual work and back passing. Also give this account a follow, great breakdown of some of the best coaches and player tactics.

there's plenty of top international teams that could use a cup coach to win a major tournament

really should just coach international football and work as a pundit now

If Newcastle are in financial trouble(FFP) and the fee is reasonable he could be a summer purchase. He’s played in the league and can get goals. I’d like to see how he and Solanke finish this season after a really good half year so far.

That’s an old list I feel like some of those players have already moved on to new clubs this season

I don’t want to dream but boy oh boy could that be something magical

Benzema would be ideal but Firmino knows the league and he’s a great assist maker. Just need the other players to put away the chances. Or we stay away and wait til summer to buy a proper forward

For every Vini , Rodrygo, and maybe Endrick(we’ll see) , there are plenty Gabigol, Malcom,Arthur. Again not against finding a gem but our recruitment is too focused on unearthing the next. We need established players who can raise the level of the team now. Not maybe in 3-4 years.

Could be non sense but seeing reports we are after Ferland Mendy. Now here is my problem we are going to give Madrid £47m for Mendy so they can turn around and pay £43m-55m for Alphonso Davies(who was a Chelsea fan growing up) please make it make sense.

Yes pre-season had us very excited for the season as the look of our pattern of play was so good. Forward thinking players with one and two touch in the final third. None of this passing between CB all game stuff we do now.

CL is also another tournament where most teams go for it very open. That doesn’t prove your point watch any final that we aren’t in those games generally are end to end

Those type of players thrive in la liga because there’s more space and the focus is not pace and power but technical ability.

Seems arsenal are heavily linked to the forward I recommend earlier today. I’d really like to know what our scouting department is actually doing. They think this is the 90s when you go to Brazil and could find world beating Brazilian players that would take your team to the next level.

Destiny is quality would have been nice to have him on our left and gusto on the right. So dynamic attacking and defending

This game needs to finish just like this

It was more tongue in cheek - go after a young player like Davies when he finally seems ready to leave Bayern.

If we knew we were going to go after Lavia we shouldn’t have bought Caicedo and went for someone like Manu Kone instead

He should be he’s 6’4 and strong former Bayern Munich youth player. He has a £50m release clause but apparently that’s only for Bayern. I’d rather spend the £50m-£65m on him than £103m on VO or £69m on Vlahovic.

And also Joshua Kirkzee He does the ball carrying like Jackson but is way more clinical and tough shot Benzema who seems like he’s fed up with life in Saudi Arabia

Again our striker solution is not as simple as just having a CF we also need someone who can get the ball into the striker in dangerous positions. But the lad from Brighton or Vlahovic are not the type of strikers we need. we should be all in for Lautaro and if not him, Openda, or Jonathan David. These type of forwards are great at linking up but can also get into the box and finish well.
