  1. Not entirely possible tbh. But I don’t think we’ll go crazy crazy expensive for it. I hope so at least. Rather get another high quality midfielder in, an attacking one. Doesn’t necessarily have to be a non athletic midget. But a technical one that can exploit ape space between say Bruno and Isak. One that is good at receiving the ball and just calm and composed in general. A closer option for Bruno to play progressive passes to without Isak having to come way too deep. A player like this would also force the opponents CB to commit forward at times leaving more space for Isak, Gordon, Barnes etc. Think it would help us once we regain position from deep too, having that option that offers some depth going forward in transitions. Especially if said player has decent ball carrying ability as well. I know we have many midfielders but I disagree about it, I think a technical high quality midfielder would do us wonders over a season. Allowing us to control games better as well as some more rotation without losing too much quality. Midfield is so so important as that’s where many games are won. Obviously we need to be good defensively as well as offensively but if a midfield is poor because injuries/suspensions it doesn’t really matter much if you have good attackers or good defenders individually. Personally I’d like a technical one like I’ve said, a midfielder that offers us something different, but not just in transitions, also some more composure overall, like possession. The more offensive midfielder could for example be a able to play in a three due to his athleticism and versatility. Out of the ones we’ve been linked with alone, I wouldn’t be against MGW for example. Very much because of his versatility. I’m sure he could play as a 10, RW, Midfield three for example. Would offer good balance with his attributes I reckon. If I had to choose between a pure RW and someone like MGW or similar then I think I would go for the latter. Preferably a high quality RW and attacking midfielder but we can’t do it all. I’m one of those who have been gagging about a RW too but I’ve changed my mind if It’s one or the other. (Aye we need CB’s, hopefully some smart signings there) A lot of the above is blah blah and my general thoughts. Didn’t mean ti go so off topic from your post mate.
  2. Personally I’m not saying that we should cheap out on CB’s, but I do feel that it’s an area where we can find very good players for cheaper than some other areas, especially attacking players. The collective is more important than the individuals really. You can find very good players for much less that still offer close to the quality of what the most sought after does. The reputation alone often adds another 20-30m alone. In an ideal world if the ffp wasn’t so strict it would be a different matter. In the future we will and can add the odd super expensive diamond here and there in the windows. For now I think we’re better off going for the category below and use that money for other areas. Quality costs obviously but sometimes, like at this very moment it’s not worth spending say 60m on a CB imo. Rather find a 30-40m CB and a freebie like Tosin. And I’m pretty certain that we won’t be spending 60m+ on a CB.
  3. Stop it children. (koke and frog)
  4. Clear red imo. Jackson is a mouthy coward. Punchable face.

    He has changed, and matured, and A LOT! Great to see.
  6. It’s ok to enquire. I did it once with a supermodel in Marbella. Safe to say that we aren’t married now. Hopefully we told them to get fucked, in the nicest way possible. Also, 80m

    Im seeing it entirely differently on this forum to be honest. I see people talking about it here and there but I genuinely don’t see many at all being very “comcerned” in an unnecessary way. Apart from maybe one or two of the usual nutters

    If he (Bally21) or any other wants to express his/their opinion on the subject then let him do it. It doesn’t mean fear and dred. It gets talk about all over Europe so it’s not exactly a big deal if it gets talked about. Shitting the bed over it properly then yeah, it’s silly. I’m certain that Isak and Bruno will stay, but I’m not gonna waste any energy over other people talking about it in a relaxed way. It’s a forum after all. Both will be linked left right and centre so it’s not gonna be quiet about them. It happens when you have class players. I kind of see it in a positive way, as it means we’ve done well signing these. It’s natural, that it gets talked about..
  9. Im 72 and I look like I’m at least 15 years younger. I also don’t expect the Swedish government to build me a new house and hire Isak as a dishwasher. But yeah, I agree it’s not nice to talk about someone’s physical appearance, it’s wrong. But when a person is as entitled it’s almost hard to not joke about it. Would never ever say it if I was running the risk of someone hearing/reading it. No matter how much dislikeable
  10. While also looking like a homeless sewer rat. This sentence doesn’t really make sense and is harsh/stupid really, but anyway…
  11. Good. I don’t like red shirts.
  12. The lack of technical ability in both these sides is remarkable.
  13. This one was even clear almost I’d say. Movement into his body at first and then out towards to the ball. The ManU one wasn’t a pen in a million fucking years the cunts.
