Heres the things we have to hope work out

1. We have 5 forwards plus elliott. Jota, Diaz, Nunez, Gakpo, Salah and of course the little guy. We can hope that after a season at the club or plus a full preseason now for injured ones that this 5 will get goals for us. They are all individually good players and most in good shape and a good age to deliver what we need.

2. We have Alisson in goal. Instantly that help us out as normal.

3. We've tried this trent stuff and somewhere along the line this helps us out in temrs of creation.

4. We might hope that konate can stay fit all season. Its huge for us that he has not got a litany of minor injuries and stuff that stops him performing consistently.


Our lne up seems to be heading towards

Alisson
Trent Konate VVD Robertson
Macallister Fabinho Jones
Salah Gakpo Diaz

With bench of nunez, jota, henderson, elliott, and little defensive cover bar the same old same old.

When you put this as a the box midfield with possession

Alisson
Konate VVD Robertson
Trent Fabinho
Salah Macallister jones Diaz
Gakpo

We will get more players in. You don't do a 'rebuild' with one player.

But will it be before preseason start, or a panic buy after our targets all go elsewhere?

Will it be a recognised first team player, or a promising youth for the future?

My guess is based on the players we are being linked to who are all 22-25ish age range with varying degrees of first team experience - one experienced midfielder in before preseason, then one experienced defender and one 'project' versatile player some time after.

How's that?

it’s clever in a way not to get involved with the last minute stuff. We haven’t had a mention on a deadline day now for years and years, clubs that play that game and fail to get targets over the line end up with a very angry fan base all at the same time.

We just get drip fed the disappointment throughout the window, then play the ‘right player only’ card and go to bed the week before the window closes :1980_boogie_down:

I get the overall sentiment of the tweet but unlike the Glazers, FSG have taken no money out through dividends.

Well yeah, that's undoubtedly FSGs shining testimony - they're not as bad as the Glazers (or Hicks and Gillette). I suppose we should be forever grateful. If I had a forelock I'd undoubtedly tug it. :emoticon-0108-speec

I've never thought if Andy Carol as a panic buy. Yes he was a flop, but I don't think we had a clue what to do with him.

If I'm remembering correctly he tore our defence apart only a few months before we signed him.

did you not?

he looks very much a last day absolute panic buy where we put down any money newcastle wanted on the day.

like.man utd do with every player even one's about to run.out of contract.

I believe we didn't know if we could rely on suarez (like Dalglish actually had no faith in him) and only had n'dog

Sounds like this is happening...'very advanced' talks.......release clause of £60m runs out tonight but we may sort different deal

I had never heard of him before this week. 60 million release clause! Has Carvalho gone to them? If so, maybe a deal was agreed. It’s all over social media anyway

He’s another from the red bull factory. From Salzburg to Liepzig. Captained Hungary at young age. Has been spoken about as very good potential

Seems to be able to play across whole midfield. 22 so right age as well.
