If only isak wasn't being a dick.... Still 2 or 3 short imo on that bench, but that's so much better

 

Effectively we have two competitive sides now.

 

This an OK watch if youre bored and have got 15 minutes to spare.

 

Ramsdale's barely good enough for the first team let alone both.

I would love it, just love it, if the club bought a phenomenal number 9 out of nowhere plus added a decent support striker then hauled Isak off (preferably to Barca).

 

Still lacking something for me... All a bit pedestrian apart from Livramento and the front 3...if our moves break down and they get in between the lines we're ****ed almost every single time.

 

DCL turned down £200k per week offer at the mackems to join Leeds.

Bloody hell. Small club

 

We've had this and will always do so under Howe, he's never going to get a Cherki player, but we are missing magic. From what I watched in pre-season, we had gone backwards tactically. Very ponderous, sideways, hoping to be able to counter. That killed us last season with the likes of Forest, Bournemouth, etc., happy to let us have the ball and hit us with our huge lack of pace. I was hoping to see something in pre-season that addressed it, but I'm really concerned that Howe sees something in this 5-4-1 that nobody else can - it looks even worse.

Wissa, just a striker, not solving the issue. Elanga doesn't solve the issue, neither does Ramsey. Everybody has that locksmith in their team at the top of the table - City now have about 3 or 4, even Man U recognised the need with Cunha. Those players tend to be coached on the continent or in South America, and I just can't see us getting a leftfield creative talent out of the blue, it's always 'characters' (confirmed again by Pope this week) and grafters. Personally I think we need an adaptable 'false 9' as well as a proper CF. If it's Wissa for CF, that's fine for now, but we need to get a real talent and Kilicsoy (or Woltenade) would be my choice.

 

Only needed about 5 seconds to agree with him.

 

We do seem to avoid anything even remotely exciting in that way, but it's working, so far.

Perhaps the foundations are still being assembled before they add in the 2 or 3 really stand out players?

 

We really need a hard working maverick.

But they are few and far between

 

I think Howe would prefer to eat horse **** pie even if they worked hard.

 

How the **** do you come to that conclusion? What tells you we're relaxed about it? I'd be very surprised if it's not the thing we're least relaxed about.

 

You dont sound very relaxed about it, would it help to talk?

 

He wouldn't really be a maverick if he worked hard though.

 

Nicked off a mate

Sky reporting that we have permission from Liverpool, Arsenal and Man City to buy Ramsey. Just waiting to hear back from Chelsea to see if they want him before proceeding with agreeing a fee and personal terms.

Wouldn’t surprise you would it?

 

Think it's just about there tbh if Wissa and Ramsey go through.

 

We have Wissa in the bag.

 

bastards still wriggling though!
