Is there an upgrade in the market ? Ramsdale is available but I’d hold off on making a move

So is Kendry Paez, another wonderkid they’ve signed. They’re obsessed with finding the next breakout wonderkid

Is he on the level of Endrick? who's already scoring goals for Brazil Report says Madrid were interested in Estevao too but there's an issue between club chief scout and player's agent.

I think couple of sales and we're set. Club has already lined up Hall and Maatsen. If Saudis take Sterling (who has a v high wages) and Lukaku, then we'll be able to easily afford the spending we are looking to do - ST, LB and CB.

I think no LW. Roll with Mudryk, Nkunku, Jackson. Break the bank for a proven forward

Yeah, even the ball-winning mid needs to be able to break the lines, progress the ball. I don't think Caicedo is out of his depth and I think he can contribute. Anyway we are locked in with him for 8 years.

Midfield unit looks stronger because of Cucurella tweak. No longer leaving <many> empty spaces to attack at least. Long way to go but last few weeks have been something (except for the Arsenal game)

Miguel Gutierrez might not be an option since Real have an option to sign him for 9m in 2024 and 2025. I fear Grimaldo, Dimarco will be tough pulls given they have long contracts and are settled in league winning squads. Theo is an option. Contract is running out in 26. I'd love a move to sign him. Even with the worries about his pace, he is a baller. Also, how good is Milos Kerkez? I saw stories saying Boehly-co's data team like him.

Cucu and Noni have had some lean patches this season. For Cucu, especially defensively he was suspect in so many games earlier on in the season. Poch isn't the ideal manager but it is going to be setting this squad back if they replace him. I don't trust the board to get the right manager in either - not a whole lot of options. Amorim, Flick, etc. I'd rather go another year with Poch having a full squad before deciding on the managerial change.

Perfectly good Bournemouth goal ruled out

VAR massively benefiting Arsenal

Be nice to see Ipswich come up. Leeds, Southampton, Leicester have all recently been in the Prem

Soft pen. Looked more like Havertz went looking for the contact

I think there isn't a lot to be done and some continuity will be good for this squad instead of uprooting the first team with 5-6 new players. Hoping that James, Gusto, Fofana, Colwill, Lavia, Enzo, Nkunku, Carney return, we need a LB and ST. GK if there is someone in the market who's a clear upgrade.

Marc Cucurella had a good game. He's technically good but cannot be in positions where he is defending counter attacks. Seemed to be deployed in an inverted midfield position in possession yesterday, similar to how Arsenal uses Zinchencko

Great player. Crucial to that CL win even if he was forced off in the final

Wouldn't mind another heavy loss here if this gets the owner to rethink Poch

You'll need more than one to get through this game

Give Scott Carson the manager job for 8 years.

I don't think there's any worry of this happening. At least this summer. Club is offering him a new deal.

Hearing more and more noises of club wanting to stick with Poch for another season. Stability and all that.
