Could Douglas tempt him here? Another exciting young player...

Gabriel Barbosa?

Yep, just think how we would have fared otherwise. Would say he was our top performer after the restart. Konsa did well too. Jack wasn’t quite himself but the quality is always there, improved in the last two games.

Need to consider his age, coming from abroad, having to learn the language and adapt to a new country, culture & environment. He is one of the few we have who possesses a strong enough character & personality to cope and succeed. That’s a big deal for someone so young as well as his talent & potential. As we saw, he just needed time and coaching. He is only going to get better and better.

He is class and yet so young, would love it if we could hang onto him for the long term. A special talent like Jack, the more we have the better off we will be... got to make some good signings.

That explains it!

Even he’d be better than Nyland, surely?

It still looks great, just needs the newer & better lion. This one is tame in comparison

Definitely an area that needs looking at. Nyland is a joke, we must get rid. Need to offload Kalinic too. Wouldn’t be averse to Reina coming back (only on loan) but he is clearly past his best and not good enough as first choice. Does bring other qualities though. Heaton is great but he & Steer are injury prone. More than anything, what we need is reliability. Someone who can give the defence confidence. Enough of the jitters (Nyland!!!) Throwing some easy links out - Foster Ramsdale Etheridge Butland? Maybe just needs his move to get back to form...

He has been much improved, hope he gets to show off this particular skill more frequently: What a player...

True, MON wasted so much money and was so limited regarding signings & transfer targets. Stubborn, old fashioned git too. Lerner also went through a very costly divorce right? The funds dried up quickly and we had to endure some tough times and really shitty managerial appointments. Felt for Lambert, he never really had a chance to prove himself with all the constraints placed on him. Doubt he quite knew what he was walking into. Tough job & I suppose he did well to keep us up. Got some good results against the top teams too. That transfer window was absolutely shocking though... couldn’t believe what I was seeing. The likes of Jordan Bowery FFS

Buendia may be just what we need...surprised to see him on that chart. Not watched a lot of football beyond Villa games in recent years so fairly limited in my opinion/judgement of other players but the stats can’t lie...

This really is fabulous! I WANTS IT!! Just needs the newer/better lion and maybe some yellow lining/piping etc. Can’t see us actually ever getting anything this good.

Agreed, but they do have the resources and “firepower” unlike our previous owners... no smoke screen here... And they have been successful in their other ventures.

As long as he continues to improve he might be a valuable member of the squad. He’s not exactly “aesthetically appealing” in his style, less so than El Ghazi. But, he has arguably been much more effective than Anwar within a shorter space of time and possesses a much better attitude & personality.

Only these guys actually have the finances to back it up...

Yeah, I know they signed him from another club and apparently his greatest asset is his attitude, determination and work rate rather than technical ability? But I’m guessing he has improved a lot over the years. Is he anything like Vieri? Just wondered why he has stuck with them for so long as he has been there a while. Thanks again Would love it if we could get him!

Thanks. Inter seem to have a lot of (attacking) players as it is but I can see why he would be in demand. Just curious why he is still at Torino after all this time, does he have some kind of loyalty toward them?

Apparently, Man U are in for Jimenez and Wolves are replacing him with a Portuguese striker: Paulinho. Spending heavily, after Sancho too as everyone is aware. Hopefully lost interest in Grealish as we are not interested in selling unless a crazy offer comes in. Transfer window is well and truly active now with Man City signing Ake & Torres too. I’m confident we will be wrapping some deals up soon.
