Typical teacher!!! Term is still ongoing and rather than do his job and teach the kids he’s sloped off to have a barbecue in the School Greenhouse.
Can you stop derailing the thread with unrelated topics regarding people (I think Chaos is a person) posting unrelated topics please
Nothings changed. We desperately need a right winger and a striker, then we equally desperately need to ship out Murphy and Gayle. Manquillo is probably surplus to requirements now. If anyone offers for Fede he's probably gone too, we keep Kell Watts as 4th choice (Lascelles remains 5th). The only position I'm willing to give the benefit to is CM. I think it should line up as Joelinton, Bruno and Willock left to right, with Anderson, Shelvey and Longstaff as backup. But you'd have to be blind/mental to think Almiron/Murphy and Wilson/Wood is good enough at this level.
I think/hope we'll line up with Pope Targett Botman Schar Trippier Bruno Joelinton Paquetta Diaby ASM Wilson with the backup's being Dubz Lewis Burn Lascelles Kraft Shelvey Longstaff Willock Almiron Fraser Barbossa
I think they'll sign at least one top player come Sept 1st. Plenty of time and it'll probably be a surprise
Bruno injury and everything changes in cm... We haven't got anyone close to his level there and he makes everyone next to him look better. The Croatian young lad looked similar can't recall his name.
Lewis? Who he?! I think Dummett will be backup LB, Lewis will be gone. My only question mark on Diaby is everyone has him pegged as a left winger? I know Jacobs has now been claiming he's "open to the move" and he'd be a massive coup. But I agree there'll be one big arrival - probably RW as well, that seems to be the position Howe has earmarked as our most urgent - and a young striker. Then it'll be "can we find one last decent deal" probably in CM towards the end of the window, at which point the Saudis will pay £40m for two more shares and we'll buy Paqueta.

I am convinced we are waiting for more commercial deals before we make any more signings. The PL are all over our commercial deals aswell.
Tbf Lewis played very well away at Liverpool then he had an injury. I'd rather see if he can come good than use Dummett who's a great pro, doesn't exactly set the world on fire and he's not going to get any better.
