Interesting that he's based a lot of the visualisation stuff on Salah, who he said is a player he really looks up to and wants to emulate If Gordon ends up being our Salah, that would be quite something

Honestly, it's really shown INEOS to be a joke. What's the point of best-in-class hires if your project can't really get started until 2026. Arguably Ashworth as the guy to tie everything together would have been the first in the door, to lay the foundations and strategy. If the amount we want is 20m and they offered 10m as a starting point, negotiating can commence. If you're starting at 2m - you'd think the other party aren't serious and you'd walk away for such an insulting offer. 20m or no deal.

This is true and completely ridiculous. Chelsea have literally had sugar daddy blow-everyone-out-of-the-water owners not once but twice in a lifetime. Jammiest club going. At least Abrahamovic has gone who was actually a sane serious successful owner with a plan - like the Man City guys.

Yes it would be great to have a Harry Kane of the North

I'd do a swap with Cubarsi, Yamal, Gavi and Raphinia coming the other way.

Due to Anderson and Mileys emergence, I really do think Longstaff has never been more dispensable. We don’t lose the local feel as we will still have Burn and the others. In fact as pure profit for FFP anything he brings in would have a bigger impact and prevent too much pressure on needing to get rid of more purple players. It’s a perfect storm. He’s done a great job but it feels like when Lee Clark left, it was the right time.

To be fair, their wanting Isak (because of Henry) is like us wanting Paqueta because of Bruno It's not really grounded in reality, it's just what the fans want The reality is the club probably can't afford it. Isak is up there with Osimhen, Mbappe, Haaland as the most expensive strikers in the world. Osimhen may be up for sale this summer - that's it as far as the uber elite go.

Necessity is the mother of invention and all that

That's true - I would be happy just getting Sesko and keeping Wilson. He still scores goals and imagine his toughness and chasing when we're seeking a goal in a tight game. He has that nous. Better value than getting Guirahassy or a third option.

Haha sicker than your average With that front three, the Sky's the Limit And then after a great season the price will sky rocket so we can Get Money With Murphy coming in as reserve, that'll be Juicy And perhaps we can give Wilson One More Chance to get over his injury worries But we do need to proceed with caution as they say Mo Money Mo Problems But when we win everything next season perhaps we'll reminisce and say 'It was all a dream...'

He is of the Kompany, Aguero, David Silva, De Bruyne, Yaya Toure ilk, in terms the spine and heart and soul of the new NUFC. Isak = Aguero Bruno = De Bruyne Botman = Kompany Joelinton = Yaya Toure Gordon = David Silva?

Sesko and Guirassy in with Wilson out would sort out our strike options for another CL or even title push, and deep cup run - all for 60m or so - minus the 10m for Wilson. NO BRAINER. Honestly, we're not too far from competing in my opinion. Pope + new GK (Gillespie) Trippier, Tino (Krafth) Schar, (Tosin) (Lascelles) Botman, Burn (Kelly), Hall Bruno, New DM (Miley) Tonali, Willock Joelinton, Anderson New Elite RW, Minteh Isak, (Sesko, Guirassy) Gordon, Barnes What a strong 25-man squad. Out: Targett, Dubravka, Karius, Longstaff, Wilson, Lewis, Ritchie, Hendrick, Hayden, Dummett Perhaps 1 elite RW only (in addition to Sesko and Guirassy) with Tosin and Kelly doing the job this year defensively. Then GK and DM can be either loans or fairly cheap which can be upgraded next year. Jobs a good un

Ditto Shop abroad man

All of these suggestions are great, in the 40-60m bracket. Chiesa could be added to this list too. It depends what is classed as elite. For example Sesko as a second striker, elite or not? He is younger, and coming off a poor season. A pacy CB is important. As is a starting LB. A decent specialist DM even if they’re not a starter would be a good position to fill for certain games.

Don't be silly, Schar would be on the bench or probably sold by now
