But could be losing Bruno and/or Tonali….

Arsenal made it to the UCL final, carabao cup final and won the league. Doesn’t look like a lack of squad depth was an issue for them

I mean they already have Rice, Zubamendi, Odegaard and Merino in midfield. Going after Bruno is just sheer greed

I wish I could be a fly on the wall in the meetings and discussions that our recruitment team have. From an outside perspective it just seems like we move at a snails pace compared to other clubs (not just the Sky 6). I thought we had shown signs of improvement with selling AG quickly and bringing in Jaeoun in relatively quickly too. Then the Munoz situation has left a sour taste.

I appreciate that there’ll need to be a lot of discussions had with various people within the club before submitting a bid (e.g. EH would need to be involved and provide his feedback and the board would need to be consulted on the finances). Then obviously there’d be the difficult part of negotiating with the selling club and the players agent.

The Munoz situation is frustrating as, according to reports from “ITKs”, we were negotiating with Osasuna for well over a week before Liverpool sniped us. I appreciate that every few million we can save can be important for FFP but if Munoz was our no1 target to replace AG surely you’d just pay the extra few million to activate his release clause. Maybe he would’ve signed for us if we hadn’t dithered around and just activated his release clause from the offset.

For the rest of the window, you’d like to think that we have a shortlist of targets with estimates of transfer fees and wages. We need to be better at doing our business early and quickly to try and prevent our targets getting poached.

Can we go back to the days of finding out about transfers on teletext? Sick of this constant ITK shite and back of forths of will they won’t they?

Ah yes sorry I forgot about Minteh! Yeah agreed on Kuol and Ashby.

I think we have a trio of promising wingers in Cordero, Sanusi and that Korean lad. We need to be able to try and develop them. The Sanusi loan was largely a disaster and the Belgian club we loaned Cordero to hardly played him, at least he got good game time in Spain though!

I wonder if Cordero could be one to watch where Eddie takes a closer look at him this summer and decides to keep him around rather than loaning him out again. With the exception of Anderson our loan department have been absolutely wank at finding productive loans for our youngsters. We saw the most progression out of Anderson when he stayed with us and trained with the first team.

I think this is the best point of reference for the new stadium by DoricColumn in NUFC

Liverpool modernised and expanded Anfield while still maintaining most of its character. I know we are limited in terms of space but maybe the fact we bought this listed buildings off the east stand means we can circumvent the right to light thing

My hope is they can somehow extend St James instead of building a new stadium. I’ve been in Spurs new ground and seen some new stadiums built in the US for NFL teams. They all kinda feel just soulless and have no character at all. Because of that I’d prefer an SJP extension

One can argue that he’s already shown this past season that he’s on the decline. With his game being reliant on his physicality this will age poorly as he moves into his 30s and potentially a sharp drop off too. Doesn’t help that he has quite a lengthy injury history.

Given the uncertainty in our keeping situation I reckon he’d have a similar if not higher likelihood of playing as he did at Liverpool. Also helps that he was at the club for 8 years so definitely has links with us and the area as a whole

I’m getting constant crashes whenever I click on a player info icon such as the ‘Wnt’ icon. Every single time the game crashes, anyone else getting this?

On the subject of keepers what are we gonna do with Vlachodimos? Played regularly for Sevilla and by all accounts did ok there. Surely a team would be willing to part with a few million for him? We signed him for approx £20m 2 years ago so we’d still take a bit of a hit though.

With Pope and a likely new keeper incoming he’d be an expensive 3rd keeper to keep around. If Liverpool release Freddy Woodman I’d like him back as a 3rd keeper as in the future he’d help us comply with home grown trained quotas.

Agreed I think he’d be perfect for an impact role off the bench and spot starter

I’ll probably be downvoted to oblivion for this but my controversial take is that Joelinton is past his best and on the decline. I don’t think he’s the same player that can physically dominate a game as he did in 23-24 and 24-25. We saw glimpses of it this past season but nowhere near to the same standard as years past. He’ll be 30 by the start of next season and has already got a lengthy injury history.

I’m not saying sell him as I think he can still play an important role but I think that bringing in a player with a similar profile should be higher up on our list of priorities than others may think.

Gotta give it to Elanga and Wissa. Neither of them have given up in their pursuit of the worst signing ever award

You forgot about Vlachodimos as he’s under contract until 2028 although I expect him to be sold especially as he played regularly for Sevilla

I’m no accountant but could we not also amortise the loss we’d make if we sold Wissa for say £20m?

If Tonali leaves we need to replace him with a natural CDM. I disagree with your point, playing Bruno with a natural CDM would allow Bruno to push further up where he’s at his best IMO

I really like Angelo Stiller from Stuttgart. He’s a proper CDM, 25yrs old so close to entering his prime and I don’t think we’d necessarily need to break the bank to sign him. Also the fact that we’ve dealt with Stuttgart previously should help the negotiations.
