Shame, would have been fun to see them struggle in the bottom half again next season.

You can't have your bed and eat it too

The phrase "very unique" is often considered incorrect by traditional grammar standards because "unique" means "one of a kind"—something either is unique or it isn't, so it can't logically be "very" unique. However, in modern usage, especially in informal or creative contexts, people sometimes use "very unique" to emphasize how unusual or distinctive something is. While it's not technically precise, it's increasingly accepted in casual speech and writing. I'm just modern, you dinosaur.

I don't see Howe letting Tino go unless we're talking silly 100M+ money. He's a very unique player, not just a great defender already but he's one of our best ball carriers and he links up play very well. If he adds a bit of end product going forward he'll be world class, and there were signs of that already towards the end of the season when he took Hall's position down the left. Another year or two under Howe will see further development, he's only turned 22.

At least we have a summer of brilliantly insightful analysis from chicken nonce to look forward, I mean the man clearly works his socks off and presents his case so well " I think this player would be great in the team", Mindblown,

Doesnt seem like the doctor has a great sense of tumor

Might want to pass on a player that even CHELSEA think is overpaid and shite The reaction to Mboonio news is way over the top, but then thats just social media for you. We may have been interested in him but it's not like he was the only target for the summer ffs. A massive part of what Howe does is have players that believe in this team and where he's taking them. We'll be fine as long as we add 3-4 quality players and some depth to the squad. And that's obviously not going to be straightforward.

Yeah I'm not fussing over Mboomino or whoever in particular because that could all just be media noise about us being interested. But in general, there must obviously be frustration at the club about last summer and the continuous leadership turmoil at the club. That's why Howe must have made those comments. Whoever our real targets our, we cant sit around on our arses anymore. And with the time new recruits take to get upto speed on Howe's standards, we should be trying to get them in quickly anyway. That's all theory, people will say lots of moving pieces in reality etc and not easy to get difficult deals done but even though there's truth to that its clear we've not had clear alignment in the club and we need to act decisively like a trophy winning Champions league club now.

Good thing that's become clear early on, time to move onto other targets, he can bugger off.

That's shite news HMHM but I hope there's a way of managing it to make it less shite.

I pushed a Chinese guy down the stairs yesterday. It was Wong on so many levels.

Inter beat Barca for this ffs Might be the most one sided final ever

And in case its not our day, we need to make sure our GD doesnt fall below Chelsea's. Could be crucial in the end.

Difficult to know what will be funnier, them losing today, in the final or having to play in the PL next season.

I agree there's probably a niggle or fatigue, he clearly doesn't look fully fit. The summer will sort him out, just need him to score another penalty or two against Everton. I think we've also failed to get him involved much last few games, maybe that's partially down to him not being as mobile as earlier in the season but I've felt there have been occasions when he has been in space and hasnt been put through. I do think he works better with Gordon than Barnes. Shouldnt be a problem next season when we have the completely reliable perenially fit DCL to provide cover
