    Am sure you’d give the best answer Andrew so please go ahead ☺️

     

    Glooms pretty much nailed it tbh and, as you said, we don't play with a 10 currently, we have two 8s in our 4-3-3.

     

    We are being linked with a lot of players who like the 10 position though so it does have me wondering if we're going to move to more of a 4-2-3-1 for some games as we're considered a bigger team and will be looking to dominate games more, and have teams play deeper against us, a few teams realised that we'd struggle to unlock them if they did that this season.

     

    If we stick to the 4-3-3 I agree with you again that a 6 would be a bigger priority as it would free up Bruno to play further forward which improves our prospects of staying with that formation but not struggling as much against deeper opponents.

     

    Who we pick up in midfield, which spot they favour is going to have a big influence on how we play next season and it will be telling to see who we prioritise one we cut through all the newspaper bullshit.

    I cannot see them getting more than £40m for him

     

    Aye they say 50 million now but theres no chance they get it. 

     

    Championship, bad finances already, no relegation wage drop clause and only one year left.

     

    They can't afford to keep him.

    I haven’t got his appearance stats to hand but it felt like he missed many more games than in previous seasons 

     

    Youre right, but it's because he wasnt an autotmatic pick when fit this season, so he missed more games than he would have before.

  4. Milan would suit ASM down to the ground.

     

    Would be a shame for last season to be his last season here, ending with a whimper so to speak. 

    Him and Wilson are basically responsible for keeping us up the season before we were taken over, which I'll always appreciate him for, but if he doesn't work for the manager now then off he goes.

    Eddie Howe's Scott McTominay >>>>> Erik Ten Hag's Scott McTominay

     

    True as I reckon that would be, I really don't want either McTominay. Especially for the money being touted, it would be a fucking stupid deal to make.

     

    He's so fucking ordinary, hasn't got the pedigree of Trippier, or the class or potential of Botman//Bruno (as well as being older than both).

     

    Big ol' no thanks on that one. We'd be better off raiding the relegated teams for squad players frankly, cause thats all he is capable of being even compared to who we have now, he isn't better than Longstaff.

  6. Barca are apparently signing Ruben Neves for an absolute bargain, 26 million.

     

    Should put paid to any rumours of them being in the market for Bruno, now it'll just be Real Madrid, Man U, Chelsea, Liverpool and any other fucker who need a midfielder who will be linked until he signs this new deal.

    ASM’s going to have to play more than two games in a row without picking up another soft tissue injury to be taken seriously though. 

     

    This is it with ASM for me now, he has completed 90 minutes just five times this season, and four of those were before the world cup.

     

    His attitude has remained good but if that changes he very quickly becomes not worth it with that record.

    This was the most I’ve kept up with making transfers and subs and stuff ever, still only came third. Some nerds on here.

     

    Well played everyone 

     

    Honestly same, giving a shit about the actual football right the way through genuinely helped.

     

    That and being desperate to keep hold of first 😅

    Imagine what his career might have looked like stuck under Steve Bruce man. Would have been difficult to shift as no one would have paid anywhere close to what our outlay was, so could have been stuck here through his 20s having an unproductive, pointless career. And now with just 18 months under Howe, he's made the Brazil team, qualified for the champions league and is probably more than worth the 40m we paid were we to sell him tomorrow.

     

    Fully deserved. I wonder how many other genuinely brilliant footballers had their careers ruined by useless managers and pointless clubs.

     

    Makes you think doesn't it? If you asked me two years ago how much dead wood made up our squad I'd have listed a good number of players who have been absolutely brilliant this year.
