I said I couldn’t be arsed with FSG s*** anymore and you couldn’t leave it.

Don’t be a dick Boca.

Genuinely can’t be arsed with this anymore.

The new champions league format will make it more difficult to buy players as the post league play offs aren’t until after the window has closed. It’s also really unlikely that we’ll buy another left back unless we offload one. And as ever, just buying anyone isn’t enough, we need lads who will be world class, and they are less likely to be sold in January.

I worry about his lack of legs in a Slot system, he’s just a little too easy to dribble past. Maybe Zubimendi was supposed to replace him rather than Grav?

Totally with you. He was a liability with the ball at his feet. Bradley is close to being in training so should be available next week at some stage.

He is carrying a knock/muscle issue and he needs a rest. But the full backs who were fundamental to all our success look pretty ropy at the moment. Stick the second team in the Milk Cup and give some of those boys a rest. One of the reasons they couldn’t up the tempo is that loads of them are knackered.

Let’s see what Slot’s got here. A change of midfield shape maybe. Going a bit more man to man and aggressive to Trossard and Havertz.

With our new set up there’s no way we sign someone unless there are a few seasons of data that they are happy with.

I think Sadio and Bobby were both 24. it’s not a great leap to sign a 26 year old, especially when there are fairly few top class strikers around. I was intrigued by the links to Jarrod Bowen when his output didn’t seem that great and then the following season he scored loads. Maybe someone has found some data points which indicate players on the cusp of becoming great.

I’ve been convinced he’s leaving since December 23.

I wondered about the age thing too, but Zubimendi is 26 and we clearly wanted him. I wonder if Edwards/Hughes will repeat the approach they did for Klopp of buying players in the 23-27 age bracket.

Yeah. Very cagey I reckon. They could go with 3 defensive midfielders to protect their defence.

Would’ve thought White, Gabriel, Kiwior, Zinchenko works a bit better. Let’s see.
