Next season is going to be a big test for Howe. Keeping the likes of Burn, Schar, Willock, Gordon etc happy if they aren't getting regular game time

I'm genuinely not fussed if Maxi leaves mind. If his football game was half as good as his motivational quotes on social media game, he'd be playing for Real Madrid. As it is, there's not a sniff from any premier league clubs for him. He looks great in YouTube clips, but does fuck all for big chunks of games, goes missing when the tackles start flying and spends half his time on the treatment table. Get shot. And take Almiron with him.

Like he checked out the Henry Mauriss links for 6 months

ASM is the most mercurial player in the league, and he was rarely able to single handedly get around a low block. Bruno, Isak, Tonali, Barnes and Chiesa are more than capable between them

He's got the added benefit of counting towards our 4 x academy players for the CL

Timely. Does that make Karius our 2nd choice? Not sure we need 4 senior Gks in the squad

You're right. Another squad place down, unless Dubravka or Karius move on

I've updated the list with Tonali and the potential signing of Barnes. Longstaff, Anderson, Dummet, Watts and Miley count towards the 4 x academy taught players for CL rules. Miley coming into the squad may mean the end of Watts. GK positions remain to be seen. If rumours are to be believed we've offered Karius a 1 year extension, possibly as Gillespie's replacement as 3rd choice? Darlow in talks with other clubs. Hopefully Dubravka stays as number 2. Anderson and Miley are the only U21 players that don't count towards the 25 man squad limit. Which leaves us 8 players over our limit if we sign Barnes. You would imagine that Darlow, Gillespie, Lewis, Ashby, Hendrick, Hayden, Fraser, Manquillo are surplus to requirements so will be sold or loaned out. We need another CB and LB ideally which means 2 more players would need to make way. Watts likely the first? ASM the second? If we sign Livramento then he's another U21 player. Still don't understand giving Ritchie an extension?

Chuffed for Gordon. One in the eye for the Scouse Mackems.

He's playing well again tonight. Bellamyesque

Everyone saying we could only spend £75-100mil due to FFP. I assume that's bollocks given you can spread player contracts over 5 years now. So £55mil on Tonali is only £11mil off the balance this Summer

Bore off man

Sell ASM and Almiron, buy Chiesa and Barnes. Job done I suspect Almiron isn't on Howe's "out list" atm though. We still need to get shot of Hendrick, Hayden, Darlow, Lewis, Fraser and Manquillo

If this happens it's got to mean Maxi is on his way out. We've got Maxi, Gordon, Joelinton and Isak who can play wide left. Don't need to be dropping £35mil on a 5th LW. Not when our back up defenders are Lascelles, Krafth and Targett

Basically scores all the goals Almiron misses each week

Good signing imo. Maddison may have been more exciting but he doesn't really fit into our setup. Barnes can play RW and LW and will allow us to peddle ASM and/or Almiron. 37 goals in 3 seasons

Rewatched Southland on Prime video. Quality police drama. Shield-esque

Hey, I got an MSc from Sunderland Uni

If we can swap ASM and Barnes in the squad for similar cash then it's a no brainier. Averaged 12 goals from midfield for the last 3 seasons and yet to hit his peak. If Gordon can adapt to playing RW I could see them being a regular part of our front 3 next season with Isak
